Bump... just a reminder for tomorrow

UMMMM... that's exactly why it would improve your degree because increasing the popularity of the school also attracts higher talented individuals which gets recognized heavily in academic rankings. Higher talented students go on to be more successful in the workforce which in turn increases alumni donations. It has more of an impact than just athletics. It just kills me that some people still don't get it. I use the same example over and over....if you root for a professional sports team, it's a little different because even though you may live in tampa, you can never really say you are a buccaneer....but when you go to a university like USF, you are a BULL. And yes, that does mean in every facet. But that's just me, what do I know.. I agree. Athletics does improve academics. It's not the only reason or way, but it does help out a lot.

This is fun... I never thought I would see this from two UCFers. Keep in mind that this is on USF's main board.

DP... here you go. This is very easy to understand! GO BULLLLLLSSS!

Oh I agree that's how it should be. There are a few exceptions that I have already listed. But I agree with him 100%.

Ty... we have a new coach.

Question...how can other folks on campus tell if in your example above: wearing an OSU shirt on UCF's campus (or say UF shirt on USF campus) that the person wearing it is or isn't doing it out of spite? How can others on campus differentiate from the two? Personally...if I saw someone at UCF wearing "OSU" stuff on UCF's campus...I would just laugh at them, nothing more, nothing less....as it just screams out loud "I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!". Wow... am I actually agreeing with you!?!

Take South Florida off the list!

Not my point... My point... Glad you understand. The End.

I try not to, drummer.  I have though, but because I needed to.  There have been some cold days up here and at the time, I only had USF sweaters/jackets.  But believe me; everyone at my program knows I'm a Bull first (just from conversation, etc.).  I have a USF license plate and I have a USF Alumni sticker on my car (I also have a Duke sticker).  I also think it's different for grad students and people that have a direct affiliation to another university (like in your case).  I also don't have problems with faculty and staff members that wear them, since it would be fine at any other job (and for those people, working at USF, etc. is there job).  You could "tell" that they are not students and they have to be on campus to work or something. The problem that I have is this.  The students that attend USF and come out in FSU, UF, and UM colors and belittle USF.  I have seen it happen before.  "USF sucks my balls... go GATORS!" is one example. I can add a million other cases (OK, maybe 20 more). I would never belittle the school that you I am currently attending.  I had a former roommate that did and I gave him hell for it.  He finally transferred to UF to be closer to other friends... but in his case, he was a UM fan. I just think it's simple to just avoid wearing other colors on campus.  If you are a USF student (say an undergrad) and you are randomly wearing a UF shirt on campus.... then I HAVE a problem. And like I mentioned... I wouldn't wear a Duke shirt on USF's campus when I am visiting (say in the middle of the summer).  That would be random and not necessary. I try my best though... if Duke won a national title and I was planning on being at the USF campus the day after (and I was planning on wearing a Duke shirt that day), I would make sure that I had an extra shirt to wear before stepping on campus. ÂÂ

When people transfer... they transfer. I'm talking about current, right now situations. It would be dumb to wear a shirt from another school on the campus/school that you are currently attending. This is different from what I'm saying. You don't attend USF and you were just "visiting." My friends all went to the Duke campus to walk around when they came to visit me when USF played UNC. They had USF gear on... not an issue. The issue is when you are attending THAT university and you are wearing different colors on that campus. That's what I have a problem with. There is no reason for that. Again, I am not saying you cannot support other schools (you support who you want), but make sure that those colors aren't on campus. And that is fine... just stay off campus with those colors. No reason to do such a thing. However, if I was still a student at USF, and I saw blue and orange, I would call them out (and I have when I was still there). Well, unfortunately, I am not near USF right now, but would if I was.

Not sure how you will like this, but I did hear that the helmets will be changed. The logo is staying the same, but the actual helmet color is changing away from gold. So it must gonna be white or green. I love the gold, don't care about the logo being black, but would prefer it being the green. Will be interesting. Where did you hear this, ET?

: DP... that was weak.  C'mon.  We're talking about wearing another schools shirt on campus.  If it's just clothing, then why not wear a generic shirt?  What's the point of wearing another schools shirt on campus... are you trying to tell everyone that you are a fan of that school? Really... what's the point? Do you remember your HS days?  Would it be normal to wear a shirt from another HS?  What message are you trying to send? "It would be nice to have an unlimited supply of shirts for the team of our choice, but not everyone does."  But someone has enough shirts of another school?  DP!!!! C’mon.  It’s not like all of us wear school shirts everyday. Well... if that's how UCFers handle it, then fine.  However, I'm not putting up with that BS.  Not at my alma mater.  I have no problem with people wearing other school colors outside of campus or outside a school event to support that team (whether it's because you grew up following them or because your great-grandfather went there).  You support who you want.  However, like I said, what is the purpose of wearing a non-USF shirt on campus? What's the message?  What's the point?  I would never wear a Duke shirt on USF's campus or a USF event... the same thing if I was at Duke.  I give respect to that university and the people who attend/work/teach at that school.  It's a slap in the face wearing/showing school colors of another university on campus.  I will continue to call out people who do it.  I’m not in the minority, nor is UCF (ask them). Sorry, but you’re in the minority with this subject.

Regarding that video. I actually liked it. It's nice to hear your name. "It's clear that they got invited to the BE because of football.... lets be honest." It's TRUE. However, the guy was just honest, he said what we have to do and that's what DW is going to do. Not a bad video.

Thanks for your opinion....

What exactly is the purpose of wearing a UF shirt on USF's campus? Is there a UF event on campus? Is UF in Tampa playing a game? Are you telling everyone on campus that you are supporting UF? Really... what is the point? Leave the UF shirt at home when you go to USF.

I would maybe give it another 3 years before MLS returns to FL (after the world cup). I went to the very first Miami Fusion game. If I remember correctly, they lost 2-0 to DC United. I also remember that there were some DC fans that came down.

Makes them that much better BTW: "What I've Done" is awesome!

Nice... I like it! Thanks to Linkin Park  and USFishin

But she's wearing it on campus.  If she wants to wear a UF shirt to "support"... then fine, just don't wear it on campus.

Yea... I think I would like the hand better. I also like the "U" but not with the white background.

Very nice... maybe we can get rid of the "white" background.

We need to win these three games. We need to extend the gap. This is the only sport where UCF is even close to USF (1 game).

haha... Hey Brad... this would be awesome!

Doesn't it come out in May?
