1985-1990.....Lived in Beta Hall (1W) first two years. I chose USF because it was close to home (Seminole) and my best friend in high school was going there. In retrospect I wish I had gone somewhere and played football (Div II or III), but that is not a knock on USF because I loved my time there. I can remember standing in line for hours to register for classes. In the dorms we drank a lot, played a lot of poker and backgammon. The weekend usually started on Thursday. Lot's of parties. As far as football goes, when I was there the rumor was the lady who donated the land to the college stated she did not want to have a football team. I feel there was a lot of support for basketball when I was there, much more than there is now. My hall went to plenty of games. We usually went to happy hour at a bar on Fletcher on game day - don't remember the name of it. It was $5 to get in and nickel draft beer from 4 - 7. I never saw the sun dome so packed the night we played UT. Don't think there was an empty seat in the house. Lots of students from UT were at the game. A few memories - coeds (beer goggles came in handy a few times) , watching a baseball game from behind the left field fence and heckling the opponents left fielder. He must have complained because coach Carderi (sp) came out and told us, "He appreciates are support, but can we keep it cool.", getting into a brawl with a frat, me and two other hall mates stealing a HUGE banner from the soccer stadium on a drunken night. It was reported in the Oracle and we ended up returning it anonymously. When USF made the NCAA tournament the UC set up chairs and a large TV. A lot of people showed up to watch USF play Arizona. It was Brian Williams battling with Hakim. If I recall the game was pretty close, but we ended up losing. Hakim always stood out on the court because of his physique. He was all muscle. The campus looks totally different now, much more developed. Sorry to ramble on, just brought back a lot of memories. I had so much fun during that time period, just can't believe it was 20 years ago!
