Not sure about the midnight chow, but I'm telling you check out just 1 game and you will hooked. These ladies can play the game.

Last night I went to see the USF Lady Bulls Hoops team play @ Villanova. Yes, I live in Philadelphia. The crowd was small (around 300) but I'm here to tell you the hoops these ladies play is OUTSTANDING!! They are fundamentally sound (box out, play defense, pass, etc.). You can sit courtside and hear everything that is going on. It was the best $10.00 I've spent in a very long time. The lady Bulls will be back in Philly later this month and I will be there. Coach Fernandez is doing a great job with this team and Jessica Dickson is truly amazing. I encourage all to attend a game, you will not be disappointed. Go Bulls!

We (Philly / S. Jersey) are not hosting a watch party for the bowl game, sorry. With the Xmas holiday <48 hours from the game it's tough on many folks to attend a watch party. Go Bulls!

I'm really looking forward to traveling to the Bulls upcoming bowl game. Outstanding year for the Bulls and a great reward. Now if we can get everyone to purchase a USF Alumni Association membership it would the icing on the cake. Check out the alumni association website @ www.usfalumni.net or call Merrell Dickey @ 800-299-BULL. There are now 205K USF Alumni worldwide and only 14K members. Yeah, yeah, I know lots of excuses for not joining. Makes a great holiday gift. Join today! Go Bulls!

My prediction is this: USF will not beat Louisville and will shock the nation with a win in Morgantown. Go Bulls!

I find it hard to believe that there is so much discussion about finishing the season 7-5 w/losses to UL and WVU. We are a very good program that should be focusing on the future, the next 2 games. Do not settle for 7-5 and a trip to Birmingham, AL. Beating teams you should beat (SU, UCF, Pitt, UConn, etc.) get you nowhere. This team has the talent to beat anyone in the country on any given Saturday. The season is not over and nor are our wins. It is my belief we will beat someone we shouldn't in the very near future. We owe someone! 7-5 are you kidding me, we are better! Go Bulls!

The NYC and Philadelphia/S. Jersey USF Alumni Chapter's have been invited by ESPN and the staff of "Quite Frankly" with Stephen A. Smith to attend a taping of the show on Monday, October 23 w/special guest and fellow USF Bull Hulk Hogan. If any USF Alumni find themselves in NYC on Monday afternoon @ 4:00 pm you are invited. Please call show coordinator Melissa Salvo @ 646-708-7102 for VIP tickets. We already have several folks from Philly making the drive up. We will represent USF well. I'm not sure when the show will air but you bet we will let the country know USF is a force. Go Bulls!

The USF coaching staff needs to stop called runs (delays, and off tackle) for QB Matt Grothe. They are going to get him hurt as the schedule becomes tougher in the BE. He took some very hard and unnecessary shots today. One shot did send him to the sidelines for several plays. Running backs run, wide-outs catch and QB's throw in big time football programs. If protection breaks down then run. Other than that, please stop running him on called plays. Even during PJ's few plays today he had called runs. It needs to stop! Go Bulls!

Just left dinner off Raleigh St. and there are lots of Bulls in town for the game. Great to see all the Green and Gold walking the streets on the UNC campus. If you've never made an away game you are missing a great experience. Go Bulls!!

Come out and cheer on the Bulls as they take on Rutgers in a rare nationally televised Friday night game. Join the USF Philadelphia/S. Jersey Alumni Chapter at the Winner's Circle, 143 West Lincoln Highway (Rt. 100), Exton, PA 19341. If you would like to attend please email Chapter President, Brandon Aldridge @ bausfkid@comcast.net You will need to RSVP by Wednesday, September 26. Go Bulls!

From a much heralded defense, they played very lackluster tonight. How many 3rd and 10+ yards can the defense give up? I expected more from them in this game. The defense must regroup this week as Rutgers will show no mercy. Go Bulls!

A huge part of any university's success is their alumni base. Did you know there are 197K USF alumni worldwide, yet only 14K active alumni association members? That's not even close to 10%. I would encourge all USF alumni to join the alumni association. It's only $40.00 a year or $700.00 for a lifetime membership (can be paid in installments). There are lots of great benefits and if nothing else it's outstanding goodwill to a great university! We need to increase the numbers above dramatically. When was the last time you attended an alumni event in your local area? There are lots of great chapters out there starting up outside of the Tampa Bay area, Charlotte, NYC, D.C., Dallas, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. Go to the USF Alumni Website and check out some information on becoming a member and all the great happenings in your area, www.usfalumni.net If you want to become a member you can join on the website or call Director of Chapters, Merrell Dickey at 800-299-BULL. Go Bulls!

I would also encourage all alumni to join a chapter in their area and become members of the USF Alumni Association. Call Merrell Dickey @ 800-299-BULL. Membership is only $40.00 per year. Lots of great benefits and goodwill to our university. Go Bulls!

It's only $40.00 per year or $700.00 for a lifetime membership (can be paid in installments).
