Hi Brad, yes it has been a very long time, though it doesn't necessarily feel like it. 17 years since I discovered USF and thebullspen.com. It was when we were first invited to the Big East. I enrolled at USF and graduated with a BA in 2008. I moved to Tallahassee in 2012 so I'm no longer a season ticket holder (and now have kids, etc) but I still love USF. Admittedly, I had to separate myself emotionally somewhat after CJL was fired and the Holtz New Era was faltering. I'm more of a casual fan now, even moreso with the NIL/conference realignment stuff going on that I don't like, but I like to check in on y'all from time to time I see from this thread several familiar names are still around.
And yes this post was just a phone game where I was using USF Bulls as my screen name, and I made it to the #2 spot. I thought it was fitting though I guess it confused some folks. Sorry 'bout that
