Welcome

The 11th Annual BULLSRALLY is set for July 30th from 1 to 4 PM at Capogna's! More details soon.

So 350 BULLS fans saw this post, and have responded in one day to the point to where I've been kindly asked to have it stop. I can understand where the good folks at USF are coming from and I don't want to upset anyone, so please stop calling and emailing. But I applaud all of you who were so quick to keep the dream alive. I will alert the B.P. just as soon as I know anything more about the date for the Bullsrally. Many thanks, and GO BULLS! - Mutt

Cancer sucks. So sorry.

What do you guys think about a Friday night? Just trying to get a feel.

I'm trying to get a date set for the Bullsrally, and I need all of you to email Coach T ( juliareed@usf.edu ) and Mark Harlan ( markharlan@usf.edu ) just to ask when the date will be. Don't be snarky, just ask. Unfortunately, I don't think it will be a Saturday because of Coach Taggart's schedule. BUT a little push from you guys might sway their decision. If they see that the Bullsrally has a legit following, hopefully we can make this year (the 11th) the biggest one yet. Keep the dream alive! And as always, Go BULLS ! -Mutt

Bulls 31-17 Mack Price 301

Thanks Brad, I've been painting for decades and started this series about 2-3 years ago, and the idea for shirts last year. I've done everything by my lonesome, so it still has some bugs to work out (so please be patient). Please drop by my site to check it out. www.mutthubbard.com

Capogna's really doesn't open till noon, but are opening for us an hour early. I'm getting there a bit early to set up but I can't open the doors to the public until 11. Sorry.

Gator Haven in pinellas is now partly green and gold. And from what I understand, they want to expand the USF portion of the store. I only talked to Jim a little bit, but invited him to see what he's all about. We'll see.

The city of Clearwater has listed the Bullsrally as a centennial event! I'm telling ya, this one will be big! Tony Grier might make an apperance and Coach Jones got the Bulls party bus painted just to show up! The bookstore will be there with their wares, and Jim from the new Bulls haven will be out to boot! 50 new Bullsrally mugs are in the works, and many, many giveaways! Be there.

I really need to stop drinking... or doing math. Math. Yeah math for sure.

The first "Preseason tailgate" was 2005. We had about 100 people show up to watch the USF awards ceremony highlights. We told Coach Leavitt and he jumped on board. The next year (2006) we had approx 200 people and it grew from there. And it was the preseason tailgate for years, Swamprat came up with the name Bullsrally 3-4 years ago.

I (or you) could make some advertising at the Bullsrally to give away.

Very disappointed in you guys...

I can only set the date when the head coach can fit it into their schedule. I've been asking since April. I have a month to advertise so if you guys can spread the word, we can make this one the biggest one ever. And, yes Randolph, double or nuthin son! (It's gotta happen one year).

10th Annual Bullsrally Saturday July 25th from 11 AM to 2 PM! At Capogna's Dugout 1653 Gulf to Bay Blvd. Clearwater, FL (727) 441-4791 Come and join USF head coach Willie Taggart at the biggest fan-based BULLS party on the planet! For more info go to www.bullsrally.com

So many thanks to all of you who showed up for the event. Everyone seemed to have a good time and Taggart, Harlan and Grier were awesome. I look forward to seeing all of you this season at the games. GO BULLS!

50 new mugs finished, waiting to be filled. Go BULLS!

P.S. the Bullsrally is always kid friendly.

It's 3 in the morning and I can't sleep. Really excited about this year's Bullsrally. We've never had this much support from USF ever before. The buzz around athletics reaches far beyond what it has in past years. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. I need all of the BullsPenners to be noticed. Be loud and proud and introduce yourself to each other, you'd be surprised who you meet. I'm giving Brad a one year advance notice to show up for next year's event, so start saving (or walking) now. He's the model why I do what I do. Get some "Hello my name is" stickers with your handle on it and we'll see you tomorrow! Go BULLS! !!

If anyone has any ideas. .. let me know

And you can use any year's mug for 2 bucks,... but why? Lol
