Bull-by-Marriage

Thanks for the article, it was a great read. What I keep reading is how confident the other players are in Matt. IMO that goes a very long way in how a team plays. The team must have confidence in the QB.

I too would like to know where to get one. I went to the bookstore, and they only have the green one as well.

Getting some last minute Bulls apparel, icing up the beer, and waiting for the lots to open.

We all need to start thinking SUNSHINE. I don't know about the rest of you, but I certainly don't want to tailgate in the rain. I will, but I don't want to. GO BULLS

1. Football 2. Plancher 3. Yes, 106, not sure of row. 4. UL, UCF 5. 2008, or 2007 depends on who starts at QB this year.

Thank you sir.

Here in downtown Tampa we have some drizzle, but that is about it. Please forgive my ignorance, but I have a question for you. Is the e on the end of your last name silent? I have a buddy that keeps calling Matt GrothE. I figure since you are bored I would ask. Thanks, GO BULLS

I am not sure what to think of it. Things that make you go HMMMM?

I am looking forward to the day when there are 80 to 85K people in the stands no matter who we are playing. Yes I know that RayJay only holds like 65K, I am talking about our brand new OCS. A fella can dream can't he?

I've heard a radio ad on 97.1 a couple of times. It seems as though they are trying harder. The more money (Bowls) that the team gets the more money that they can spend on marketing. IMO it is improving.

I was there too. I about got in a fight with a VERY sunburnt ND fan. He threw a cup at me because we were doing the "chop" after they missed an extra point. I was pissed, but stayed away from him. Good thing too because he got hauled off by cops that saw him throw the cup. ND doesn't want to add anyone to their schedule that may be good when they play them. I get sick and tired of hearing about how hard their schedule is. IMO the Big East should tell them "Join Football, or get out". JMVHO

It was their alumni I guarentee it...they heard USF cringed and said a big N-O. I said it months ago, they didn't make the Big East deal with any intention of playing every team. They signed the deal with Pitt and Rutgers and will probably use the remaining games with Cuse and WVU...may throw UConn or someone else (possibly us) in at the Meadowlands. Actually, I bet it was their Northeast Fan Base that screamed the loudest. ND is one of the Top 2-3 schools in almost every major Northeast Market. Heck, during MASS on Saturday or on Sunday...one can find almost anywhere in the Northeast a comment during MASS "praising" ND's victory...or praying for their potential victory that Saturday night. The only time in ND's history that they played a neutral site game in FLA...18,000 seats were empty (ND played a Navy in 2000 as the Middies went 1-10 that year). From Boston to NY to Philly...ND is probably #1 or #2 team amongst the locals. I think they like their games to be played where most of their fans are located. KL Actually ND played FSU in Orlando in the 90's and there wasn't an empty seat in the house.

Does anyone else park in Lot 7BE? If so send me an e-mail and we can get together for some tailgating. Nothing major mostly beer drinking and talking about the game. Usually just me my Wife and my Dad. Also it says on the parking pass that Lots open 3 hours prior to kickoff. I noticed in another thread that there were several different answers to this question. Has it changed or is the 3 hour thing correct? Thanks, GO BULLS

We don't get ESPNU, and we don't get NFL network. The only "bright"spot is catch 47 for USF events.

I called to pay, and I was told that the system has been down since yesterday. I am awating a call back to let me know it is up. I will post when I get it. Just an FYI for those of us that haven't paid.

OK, I undertsand those of you that say you were UF, UM fans before becoming USF fans hating on FSU. Having been a Nole fan before becoming a USF fan, I dislike UF, and UM. But the argument that they won't play us in football holds no water based on the fact that MANY on this board say that we have no reason to play UCF beyond the current contract. As for Basketball and baseball I see no reqason why they will not play us. BTW it doesn't bother me personally, I was just curious as to why. And, just to clarify I am a BULLS fan first now.

I have noticed many posters using the $ for the s, calling them semen-holes. Why, what in the world has FSU done to USF? IMO and I know that I am in the minority here, but it makes us look juvenille to call names and such to a team that we have never played. Like no one ever knew that FSU was a girls college, oh my how can they ever look in the mirror. Let's try to build our own traditions, not try to tear down the big 3 but join the big three, and make it the big 4. JMHO

I'm not going to be able to make it. Can't get the time off of work. For those of you that are going, please, please, please be loud for those of us that can't.

I wouldn't be so quick to praise the gator fans on traveling. If they fall to the Independance I don't think that they will travel so well. Plus it is NOT traveling for gator fans to drive within two hours to go to a bowl game.

Not sure if I will be able to go, but I am going to do whatever I can to go. As for Andre: You are the engine that makes our team go. Thank you for all that you have done, and thank you for what you are about to do.

I thought that the St. Johns flowed North because Jax blows, and Georgia sucks. :D

I don't recall it being mentioned. I hate our scoreboards, I love the video screens, butr I wish that they had a running tally of rushing, passing, and total yards for both teams. We seem to be too busy with McDonalds ads to worry about stats.

showing what games will be shown where. I have been trying to find one for 2 days now. I am curious as to where our game is being shown. Maybe someone with better search skills can find it.

The company I work for purchased a block of seats. Hopefully its contagious and many more companies start to get behind the Bulls.

I don't have any way of verifying, and I don't know how they got the info. However, my company has purchased a block of tickets for the game, and they have announced that the start time is 7:30. For what it's worth. Those of you in the know, may be able to verify.
