I definetly think that Rat is right....I know I am personally excited about this years women's tennis team bc they have a chance to go far....And the sexiest comments can be left out of this

I might actually like TL coming off the bench tommorow night...Either way he will have a huge game

Wow that is awesome news.....The team is off to a great start and I do believe that it is no fluke and that this team is very good

USF 10 Leather 25 Leather 12 80%

Yeah there is....Especially in the BE and I believe the first 2 rows are reserved for the other team in the BE

USF 3 Leather 22 Leather 15 70% I can't pick against my team and hopefully they can get out of this funk

Thanks BB....I know that I was real excited to see all our SBC members in their shirts last night....I just have the feeling we are going to have to work a little bit harder to get them back from Tulane next Saturday night

I will highly expect to see an article very soon on it

In an respect to T-Leather....Cincy did a great job with the double and triple teams tonight....Whenever T caught the ball, the brought another defender from the weak side and covered all the outlets for T and to be honest he paniced and did not get a call, but with that being said, I truly expect him to rebound in a big way Saturday

Well that is completely in the past now just like the loss yall had last year in football to us....You boys better come to play tonight or you will see the students on the court after the game celebrating

I am not sure how you drop out of the pre-season poll....All I know is this team is going to be very good and they will have to be playing 5 teams in the top 25 out of conference including Michigan and Stanford who made it to the NCAA tournamnet in Oklahoma last season....Coach has done a great job with this program and I can't wait to see where we go this year

USFHayman I think I might have taken your seat and I am not letting it go to waste....From now until the end, the person in that seat will be a hooligan

Right in the front row in the dead center of the student section right behind the scorer's table....I am the tall holligan

Yeah I even noticed that haha.....I am a hooligan and I am **** proud of it....See everyone tommorow

Just came back from watching the team practice and they look very loose for the most part.....They worked hard on shooting and looks like they are ready to go....Coach's last statement was "Let's not try to win this game, let's win it, we can win it"....Seems like he has the troops fired up

I comletely agree that this is a winnable game....gotta have faith

That is why having good board members is all about....Don't worry us "hooligans" in the front row will still be just as wild and "classless" if that is what he wants to call us until the very end....go Bulls

To respond to this, we have a member writing a letter to the editor regarding this story and are going to try to have him write an article on the Student Bulls Club to try to get students involved. We will continue to work as hard as we can to get more and more students aware of games in the future and do everything in out power to get them out to the games where we can create a fun atmosphere. I do not believe that this will hurt attendance at all but it might make us have to work harder to convince more students to come out. Chris

Kirkland did start until the last two games....Nick Williams has been on fire but I do firmly believe they can be beat

Good as long as I was the only one who did not like the article

Nothing real shocking while reading the game notes....However one thing that stands out is against Wake, 6-9 Eric Williams dropped 29 against Cincy so maybe Terrence can have that kind of game but we do have to make a considerable effort to pount the boards especially on the defensive end because they send five to the glass on both ends

Thanks for the support

Actually on your match-ups switch out the 6-8 Armein Kirkland with the 6'3 Nick Williams who averages 7.9 points and 2.2 assists a game. This is according to the game notes on the ucbearcats.com website. If I find anything else interesting I will post

I went to Cincinatti with the team last season and I know that was last season, but don't let the height of Maxiell and White fool you, they are very physical and play a lot bigger than they are....They are a very sound team that crashes the boards well, but if we can get Maxiell in foul trouble, it would definetly be a good thing...They can be beaten but it will take a great gameplan and execution to get it done.

Half-empty: Students absent from Sun Dome by Thomas Simonetti Columnist January 25, 2005 After a loss Saturday, USF's most talented basketball player, Terrence Leather, spoke to the media -- and just before he finished, he took a moment to apologize to the fans for the way his team played. Which led me to wonder: Shouldn't USF's students apologize to the Bulls? Over eight home games this season, the average announced attendance is 2,619, well below average for Division-I basketball. In 2004, the average national crowd was 5,154, and no top-25 team averaged less than 12,000 fans. And the Big East, which USF moves into next year, brings in just over 9,000 a game. Only Tulane has fewer fans at its home games this season. It's not just the men's team. The USF women's team is having one of its best seasons to date and has its sights set on making its first-ever NCAA tournament. But an average of only 506 have come to see games this season -- although even that number is inflated. Against St. Louis on Friday, the announced crowd was 606 and it seemed the players, coaches, and band were added to that total. The average attendance at seven away games this season: 2,720. Why doesn't anyone want to come to watch these teams play? Some say USF's teams aren't worth watching or that they're not good enough to waste a couple of hours on. The men aren't terrible and the women are pretty good this year. The men's season so far is highlighted by an 8-4 start, including a win in their conference opener. The team suffered a last-second loss to No. 22 Marquette on the road. The women are off to a 14-6 record, including a nine-game home winning streak, even taking then-No. 8 Connecticut to overtime on the road. It could be that the students' lack of interest has to do with some of the fans that already go to the games. Understandably, some students probably don't want to be associated with those Bull fanatics that grace the front row of the student section. If you've been to a game this season, you know who I am talking about. On many occasions, this group of hooligans has shown no class, including chants of "wife beater, wife beater" being directed at Jeremy Hunt at the Memphis game. That display of disrespect had me hoping Memphis players would go Ron Artest on Bulls fans. At least those guys show up to the women's games. Some people on campus are trying to rally support. The Bulls Club has a new promotion called the "Sixth Bull." You can tell who they are because of the mustard-colored shirts they wear with a large No. 6 on the front. It's sad to say, but if the USF student section is the sixth man for the basketball team, the Bulls shouldn't go to their bench very often. If the students at this university really wanted a quality team, they would use their free tickets and fill up the stands. After all, how many of the potential recruits watching Thursday's game against Cincinnati are going to be psyched about playing in an empty Sun Dome next season? The blame shouldn't be heaped solely on the students, though. I know the USF Athletic Department has to take some responsibility. Calls to Associate Athletics Director Tom Veit and Associate Athletic Director for Development Vicki Mitchell, who is also with the Bulls Club, were not returned Monday. Who can blame them? They have a lot of work to do. I do not know if this is the way to get students to the games or not. I know that sometimes we might be a little classless but it is because we love the Bulls so much that sometimes we get a little carried away. I'm not sure but if I was a student who did not go to games, I don't know if I would go if I was told I might not want to be associated with the students but that might just be me. We are going to keep being in the front cheering on our Bulls and try to not be as "classless". Just my opinion on the article. What does everyone else think?
