these dates for the event we anounced like almost a year ago

Well, there is an event at the Sun Dome the 17th and 18th all day both days

If you notice, we did get trombone slide covers these past two weeks, there is still some work to be done to them but they will be in full working order by the womens confrence tourny and for football season

Notice how you didn't say mens  

I hope you're wrong  

I hope I'm wrong too   but the womens one is first before the mens on the calender so we will have them all done up by then

no one goes to see womens bball.  Its not a sport that draws, Dickson might not have a WNBA to goto its more than 1 BILLION in the red it ain;t good. The NBA has been floating it for years now. You can market all you want, you just won't get anyone there

The Rose Bowl only about 2 years ago brought in a Presenting Sponsor, they are the last bastion of an old school bowl game.  There is no other half time entertainment other than the marching bands. There is almost no advertising inside the rose bowl, hell they even got a seprate tv contract.  

It should also be noted that when the teams came running out they turned up the mics on the bands, FOX on the other hand turned up their music, Fox did a terible job giving us the Fesita Bowl,it lost all the fun or other stations giving you the college experence, it just felt sometimes like another pro game. the BCS made a big mistake by taking the BCS away from ESPN and ABC

mine here in ft lauderdale is fine, what do you guys mean by that, how bad is it

This is an open invite to all board members in town on Saturday December 9th at 8pm to join the Herd of Thunder as we play basicly our entire book, all of pre game, and all the music you hear at half time, along with a few charts you only hear at Basketball games.

There will be 300+ music students from around the state of florida, and we need to show then that our fans love us, and it also helps get more folks for next year

DECEMBER 9th

8pm

at the Soccer Stadium

Dress in your best USF and help us end the year on the right note, and help us start out next year on a awsome foot. I hope to see you all there.

Well i'll try my best to give you an answer,

When USF takes a bowl invite then a lot of stuff in the Pride of The Bay goes into motion.

Birmingham is within driving distance, more or less about 12 hours driving is about the cut off. If we goto Huston, then it might jut be a pep band.  Hoston is on the edge of that limit so it a big watch and see

Bowl pay out is a big thing for us, a lot of the cash for bowls comes through that. From our food stipends to hotel to transport to ticket, yes even we need tickets, all come from the bowl pay out. So anything that pays out over a million to us is a good thing and will likely have the entire band at it.

Athletics is our main source of funding for a bowl trip, so what they say goes and thats about the end of it.  

I hope this answered some of your questions, if you got more just ask.

Thanks alot folk, its all of you that drive us to be better each and every time we get out there and strut our stuff.

but you can make one... and thats just bad ass

Seriously!

Stay a bit after the game... no matter the turn out... and sing along.  And watch our drum line look like Atlanta A&L in "Drumline"

Bill i know your right across the hall, but its Atlanta A&T... not A&L... jezzzzzzzzz lol

The Band is Planing on leaving from Fowler Fields around 10:30 if anyone want sto follow us to Orlando, we are going stright to the Stadium

Its always going to be number 8 in all the vets hearts, heck most of us still refer to it as that

If I remember from my year in the HOT, we played the alma mater on field in pregame and after the game in stands, is this still true?

By the way, here's a pic I found (a while back) of myself (in 2003) on field:

Yes we still do this,

And just as a note, the Alma Mater is something that brings every generation of bulls together, cause from now till kingdom come, thats going to be it, thats going to be the Alma Mater, so grab the bull next to you, even if you don't know them, and sing along, cause we are all brothers and sisters here at USF and **** proud of it too

we do play before every game all around the south lotending with th econcert on the road on the south side of the stadium

As far as we know, we are going to orlando

There is an outline for an OCS in the masterplan, just look in the sun dome parking lot, its there, but hard to find

Collin, thanks for popin into our room last night, and yea we are going to put down the ladys of troy tonight GO BULLS!!!

CJL was also at the game, he was in the walkway by the band

I love the iconic U, it sure beats the Miami U in terms of coolness. Its also fun to ware it around and get asked, whats that, its cool

The seat i got for bballs games the back comes off. And as a student i've been to all but 3 Home Basketball games 2 Mens Soccer games and all the Home football games.

the suites aren't just for basketball, remember that the sun dome also hosts on a regular basis major national acts for concerts and other such things

Is that a recent image of the sign?  It does not have the new iconic "U".

Thats the old one, there is one on UNiversity mall that has the new one, and all the newer stuff has the Iconic U

from the story i heard, its that the seat we not going to be green and gold to begin with, but the same color as the UF seats, they are carbon copys of each other, so... Some one got pissed off said we want green and gold seat, and well finding 10,000 green and gold seatson short notice is hard, so the colors you see now are the ones they could get on short notice.
