MikeB got jokes! even old men can be funny!

hey guys, football was out before this remember?

The arcitects are going to be on campus monday and i will be at one of their meetings so i will let everyone know what's goin on. They said they pretty much know what needs to be in it, now they are looking for more of a design and atmosphere concepts. The SEC is also coming down in january. If you have any Special Events Center memories, now is the time to revisit them!

No idea when it's going to be compleated, but i'm sure surveys will be floating around campus from student government sometime in the fall. Just keep an eye out for it.

I've sat on the MC renovations committee and i can assure you that everything will be top notch and i can also assure  you there will be a USF themed bar and grill. I'm 100% sure. Everyting else will be determined though surveys that will be going around campus as soon as they get things going. You can give a big thanks to USFGriff for getting everything rolling when he was student body president. ALso a shout out to USFMikeB for all his help with the MC renovations when he was senate president. They were huge parts of the process.

You can't get any more reliable then that!

no, we will not compete in them this year, we have the c-usa tournaments to go through. We are booked to host the big east tourney for tennis here for the next few years.

april 21-24! you know you want to go!

and men's tennis

Well Lord Sheriff, I am a former SG senator, i don't have to be politically correct. I was on senate during Mike B's term and i voted for the 50k. As for a student complaing to the oracle about me calling them cheap, they can be my guest, nobody would see it anyway. It wouldn't hurt my feelings

the 50k was planned out from extra money SG had at the time. The game cast $4 for students. There was no time to gather funds for the game either. the turnaround time from the announement to the game was too little. FOUR DOLLARS people. quit your ********.  

You gotta understand that there was no announcement about hosting the game until earlier in the week. Is everyone supposto stick around and wait for the announcement? No. I didn't even get to go to the game because i was out of town and i haven't missed a women's basketball game pretty much all year. I even went to UCONN with them. Sometimes it happens man. Next time bring a flute.
