I think the petition is a good thing. USF fans have been known to be apathetic and the comments here prove it. If nothing else, it will let Kelly know that there is a large number of fans dissatisfied with the way the offense is run.
Looks like there is a fire Gilbert petition on change.org

I haven't seen anything mentioned about our 3 captains keeping their hands behind the backs while walking to mid field and during the coin toss, and even after the ucf players extended their hands for a handshake. I got a chuckle over them refusing to shake hands even if it's a bit non sportsman like. Great for a rivalry game.
Maybe he turns out to be our own mr 2 bits. He started out as just some crazed fan trying to get people cheering in the stands around him and ended up being a uf legend doing his chant from the field, and creating a uf tradition. The wizard just needs to work with USF to figure out a way for him to get a stadium wide chant/ cheer going. Maybe a long "Goooooooo" as he does the thing with his hands for a 3-4 seconds followed by a "Bulls" as he claps his hands together. I think this could really pick up steam. The stadium PA, band and cheerleaders need to get in the same page with other cheers as well. The cheerleaders are trying to get the Green-Gold chant going while the band is playing and drowning out all attempts. Later the pa is blasting music over the band's first down, Go Bulls tune. Or a commercial plays over the band during timeouts. Who coordinates all of that? They are doing a lousy job if such a person exists.
Even though it has a positive spin, it's meant as a jab and is it really newsworthy that we have a couple thousand more than last year? Is there nothing else he can write about?? Get a true scoop on something interesting!
Always lose. There is only 1 situation in which I would want them to win, and that would be for them to knock out another division team, resulting in us winning the conference division.
The stadium is way too big for the crowds we get, which perpetuates the lack of attendance. If we were in a smaller venue, it would do several things, reduce supply, increase demand, create better atmosphere etc.
