Those pics are awesome! I really liked the ones you got of some of my teammates....I'll be sure to pass those along to them.  I know they'll appreciate it very much! =)

Thanks chicky.  I was not happy with the pictures of the cheerleaders - I was too far away and you'll were often obscured by others standing in the area.  I've taken a lot better pictures of the cheerleaders in the past from my regular seats on the sideline.  I'll plan on getting some better ones of you'll next game when I'm sitting there.  I like taking cheerleader pics at the game because a) your movments are more predicatable and you'll are a lot closer to where I am.  Oh, and you'll are much better looking than the players  

what kind of camera do you have? those are NICE.

my favorite:

Thank you Shoop.  I'm glad to be able to share them.

I was using a Canon Digital Rebel and a Canon 70-200 2.8 lens (the effective focal length is actually 320 on the digital body)  I shot mostly at ISO 400 and hand held the camera.

Make me feel good by going and looking at some of my pictures  ;D

All taken from the front row behind the south goal post.

He represents us well.  My cousins in KC who are Chief fans love him.   Always great to see a pro athlete use proper grammer, too - and that makes us look good, too.

While watching last night my ten year old asked, "Who is he?"  to which I replied "WHAT?????"  I can't believe he did not remember KM.  I even produce a picture of my son with KW.  Since my son does not remember him is this grounds to put him up for adoption?

Thanks again to the HOT for posting those five songs for download.  They are awesome and my family is already tired of hearing them over and over as will those at my next tailgate party.

Not only did I burn a CD for my car and tailgating, I also burned five extra copies to keep in my car to give to anybody who inquires about it or who might like it.  Kind of like spreading the word and firing up other fans.

Share our spirit - and donate back to the HOT since we get the songs for free.

Where is the Clubhouse?  I can't believe there is nothing going on at Selmons'!

Talk about off topic!!  This is GREAT, let's keep it up!

Maybe somebody who is a self admitted an** retentive can tally up our results and post them...please.

No contest.

Let's change this thread to the "Show everybody your kid in Bulls gear photo thread" -- it's neat to see all of your kids.  Keep it up.  I suggest that next thread is "Show your wife/girlfriend in Bulls lingerie!!!"   ;D

BullGrad95, your daughter is a cutie, but I also could not help to notice the Mr. Potato Head in a Pumpkin configuration.  Way cool.   Boy, technology has come a long way since I was a kid.

One problem with "Little Bulls" (my youngest was 1 1/2 during the first season) is that you end up leaving a lot of games early!  It took us a couple of years to figure out the "bring two cars" routine.

My other Bull who is now 12!!!

Why the heck is NC State's band called The Power Sound of the South when we all know that band instuments do not require power to operate?  Go figure.

;D

That's great!

I was raised a Gator...now it's great to see my kids raised as Bulls for their whole lives.  Like the BUCS before us, it takes a few years for second generation fans who don't remember life WITHOUT the football team to develop.  I guess it's like we're all running our own "Bull Fan Development Program" to produce lifelong fans!

My first was Miami.  I stayed in the team hotel, went to the pregame party and had a GREAT time save for the loss which was a drag.  

We even went over to South Beach on Sunday to investigate claims that hot women were shamelessly violating public decency laws right out on the beach.  I was shocked!   ;D

Power Sound of The South will destroy us!

Our football team is not favored yet we are all hoping for and expecting a win.

Maybe our band is not favored, but let's all fall in step and pull for them too.  They all work very hard and I think they do a great job.  I was never in band, but I was the band photographer my HS senior year, so I practically marched for 8 years as I see it.   (joke)

There is only one shortcoming I see with the HOT.  You gotta' have MORE COWBELL!!!

Look at the end of this article....not only does the writer call the B.E. the Conference Most Likely To Flop, he even leaves the Bulls out of the equation...like he has no idea that we are in the B.E.

When saying Clemson make sure to always add the oft misused "p" to make it Clempson.  This drives Clempson people crazy!

Any idea why this has not happened yet?  The suspense is killing me.

Crazy thought........it'll never happen but....

What if the athletic department somehow reasoned that if they invested in supplimenting travel to Charlotte for USF fans to get as many up there as possibe the larger turnout COULD pay bigger dividends in the near future in better bowl bids because we'd show considerably larger travel numbers this year.  I may be crazy, but what if I'm right!

Agreed, the WVU folks were all great.  It's great that we were able to host them with such nice weather.  It's always nice to see a team bring so many people with them (even though they always seem to cheer AGAINST us for some reason).

Spartanburg aka Greenville/Spartanburg Int'l Airport is only an hour from Charlotte.  I know that because I went to Wofford College before I went to USF.  Never a nonstop, but could be a good alternative.  I will go that way because one of my best friends is in Spartanburg and he'll be going with me (and putting me up)

Edit: I just looked it up and there is a nonstop to greenville spartanburg on delta (operated by Chautauqua airlines which sounds like it promises tol be a fun ride) and it's at $308 right now on yahoo! travel.  Like I said, about an hour from GSP to charlotte.  (I once missed a GSP to Tampa flight and had enough time to drive to Charlotte and get on the plane there!)

Flight 6243 operated by Chautauqua Airlines  8:30am
