Bubbles

That was a GREAT Bowl experience!!! Glad it was our first, wish we could have won! But it was FUN!

In no particular order and because I mostly follow football they are all football players: Andre Hall Kawika Mitchell JR Reed Huey Whittacker Pat Julmiste I'd like to also mention... Nicky Capogna Chris Carothers Mike Jenkins Patrick St. Louis Stephen Nicholas Ben Moffitt Matt Groethe Amarri Jackson-when he was consistent Frank Davis Jason Lehman Little Grammatica (Santiago)!!!! Brian Fisher-broke Mutt's heart **I'd forgotten about Ean Randolph

Obviously Zonald isn't working too hard today! Those pictures are a hoot!

I did it for Mutt and me!

YEA!!! Good for you Sweetie!!! LUL

It took Mutt and Coach awhile to figure your plate out, Gurly!!! Applepj and I had to tell them what it was. LOL

Mutt- I think we need to go to AC and gamble, and then hit the game.. Plus we will be home for the weekend...Let's see if there is sometype of educator's conference that we could attend? The City huh?...   I've never been there, but I'm a sucker for throwing my money away. Bubbles is gonna miss me.  ;D Oh pleeeease!!! I'd take the baby and hit NYC for some major shopping!!!

1. Will you make the FL Atlantic away game ? Yes, Baby Emma's first away game 2. What game do you see being the toughest ? @ Auburn or West Virginia-they'll want revenge 3. Who will win Super Bowl 41 ? Colts 4. What HOME game will have the largest attendance ? UCF, ugghhhh!!!! 5. What would your last meal be if on death row ? (Remember it can not exceed $20) Mutt's mother's fried pork tenderloin, baked potato with butter, cheese, and bacon, garlic bread, and a big glass of sweet tea from The Clock in South Carolina

I emailed Eric Soncrant and the dates are for real. Auburn asked us to accomodate them and being the good school that we are, we did. So the game is set for Sept. 8th. Change your plans accordingly.

It was a very touching ceremony! USF deinitely is a class act.

Holy Moley!!! Way to freak us all out! I'm more than glad to hear he's staying!!! God Bless you, Flip!!!

What a terrible tragedy! He used to always jump up on the bench and wave his towel and try to get the crowd to cheer. God Bless his family!!

BullsOutfitter has a nice sized iconic U...maybe about 2 feet tall. I know it's not the big things Fathead does, but it's something. And we have talked to Craig about making some BIG decals.

I had the chance to go to a few women's games over Christmas...they were great!! We had a great time and even took the baby. Mutt doesn't even like basketball but was learning all about it and really got into the games. It's just hard for us living in Pinellas to get over on a weeknight. The Pinellas County Alums are having a tailgate prior to the game on Feb 10th at Traditions Hall. The event is free (sandwiches, etc.)and then we will go over to the game! You have to buy your own tix, but no biggie. Everyone is welcome to come it starts at 4:30. I'm sure Mutt will post something when it gets closer.

BullsNation is definitely growing by leaps and bounds!!! Some of my kids in my classroom got USF stuff for Christmas! GO BULLS!

I thought it was funny!

We know an Auburn grad who's gone to the games before and he was the one that told us about the Hampton Inn in Columbus. He said it's better priced and easier to book a room there.

We've been to the Tampa Club and it is very nice. Good opportunity for Alums to meet.

E.T. we'll have to get our little girls together to play before the games. Will you be going to Auburn with the BBers? And will you take your little one? Emma is coming with Mutt and I.

Mutt went all out and painted our family room, now the USF room "sunny yellow", then he did green stripes with a gold stripe in between, around the top of the room.  We have one picture collage with our tickets in the background and an autographed helmet penant on top.  Then the whole entertainment center (which takes up a whole wall) has photos from various games and USF events, plus it has pompoms, our helemts, footballs, cups, programs, media guides, and everything else USF. We also have a bull skull above the fireplace that is wearing beads, pompoms, and a USF hat.  We have decals on our sliding glass doors that take up another wall and there is a banner hanging up in place of curtains.  We also have HOT posters, basketball posters, football posters and Alumni posters all over the rest of the walls.  When Emma gets older Mutt wants to paint a lifesize Rocky on the wall.  Oh and she does have a pink iconic U painted on her bedroom wall courtesy of her daddy.  He would like to eventually turn HER room into a USF kids room.  He wants to paint Raymond James stadium all around her room and fill the stands with USF fans and paint USF stuff all over.  If you've ever seen the Pinellas Alumni booth at Homecoming, you know he's creative and can paint awesome stuff, so just imagine what her room will look like!!

Eric and Amabell called Coach and Applepj earlier and the time is set for between 8 and 9pm at the Athletic Facility. Mutt, Coach, Applepj, one of their other daughters and her boyfriend, USFBOB83 and his wife and Baby Bull Emma and myself will all be there to greet the team!!! GO BULLS!!!

Mutt uses "game day" soap. I kid you not...he has this green shower gel from Bath and Body Works (men's collection) and then he has gold (Nutrogena) face wash. He also sings the "game day" soap song while in the shower! He also wears his USF embroidered boxers...he has several pairs. The one time he didn't use game day soap we lost to Cincy.

USF 31-27 358 Ean Randolph

I think since I was in the hospital having a baby I should have been given a special pass since I was in the Top 10 before the Pitt game.  Oh well...better luck next year!

That's wonderful!!!! Go Grothe!
