Hey JoeB, Tell your friend we are going to kill the University of Alabama at Auburn in 2007.

Are there going to be any special shirts we can buy, like the gold ones for the Bama game, that will be worn...other than green, so we don't blend in with Miami fans?

Dodge and Coke are actually TEAM USF Corporate Champions. Checkers, Chick-Fil-A, and Wendy's are some Corporate Sponsers with red as their primary color.

As far as the red "toro" towels, how about getting Coke or Dodge, who are both USF corporate sponsers already and have red as their primary color, to print towels with the "U" on it and pass them out for the FAMU game. I'm sure they could get permission to use the "U" logo and would only have to put their logo on it somewhere. Great advertising and great for Bulls fans to start a new tradition.

Brad, On the Bealls website, there is also a USF floral shirt that looks nice. You may want to post that picture as well. It is listed under Mens Casual Sportshirts.

From the Tampa Tribune 8/5/05 8:52:15 PM Sophomore Vince Wilson, slated to be North Carolina’s No. 2 tailback this season, has left the Tar Heels with hopes of transferring to the University of South Florida. “I love the atmosphere at South Florida, the players, the coaches,†Wilson said. “Coach [Jim] Leavitt seems like a coach on a mission. He’s determined to bring South Florida up and into a dominating program. Joining the Big East lets you know how far South Florida has come.†Wilson rushed for more than 1,000 yards all three years at Daytona Beach Mainland, including nearly 1,900 as a senior. He earned Class 5A all-state honors and was ranked by Rivals.com as one of the nation’s top 50 athletes. “I thought I’d like North Carolina, but [uNC] Coach [John] Bunting and I decided it just wasn’t for me,†said Wilson, who added he is academically eligible. Wilson must sit out the 2005 season and would have three years eligibility remaining. Last year at UNC he played in nine games, but had only seven carries for minus 3 yards. Wilson (5-9, 203) said he wants to decide where he’ll transfer in the next few weeks

Anyone going to the ticket sales drive meeting tonight?

I was talking about the television station. I thought they replayed the spring game a couple of weeks ago on WUSF, Channel 16 on Brighthouse. It would be nice to see some of the old games.

Any chance that WUSF could replay old football games leading up to this season?

they did replace the old USF letters on the sleeve with the new block style USF letters. i would like to see the bull head logo on the pants instead of the iconic u.

From: USF Insider Ticket Info Hall, Nicholas Named to Street & Smith's College Football All-Big East Team (June 23, 2005) Tampa, Fla. - USF's Andre Hall and Stephen Nicholas have been named to preseason all-Big East team in the Street & Smith's College Football 2005 Yearbook. Hall, a senior running back from St. Petersburg, Fla., established a new single season rushing record at USF last season with 1,357 yards, including games of 275 and 200 yards. He also set new records for rushing touchdowns with 11 and total touchdowns with 12. Nicholas, a junior linebacker from Jacksonville, Fla., enters his third season as a starter and is USF's top returning tackler with 97 stops a year ago. He was on the 2004 Butkus Award Watch List as a sophomore, and he will likely be listed again this season. USF enters its debut season in the BIG EAST in 2005 after two years in Conference USA. USF began its program in 1997 and quickly grew from a I-AA Independent to BCS status in eight seasons.

Was he Blackwell's backup?

I know it's 3 hours away, but I tried to log into the chat area and it wouldn't let me in. Is there a general user and password we are supposed to use for this as non members?

It sounds like mom made him change his mind due to not meeting with our coaches. Seems very odd that our coaches wouldn't have met his mother though.
