  1. Amazing game (Cuse vs. UCONN). This just shows you that anything can happen in March.
  2. Yep to me? Just to get an idea, what are people’s donation levels on this board and what seats are you obtaining with that level of donation. I will definitely be buying season tickets for the 07 season once I'm done with grad school and hopefully end up around the bay area for work. Thanks
  3. Sorry to burst your bubble. But, MAC will continue to coach the team. AD Woolard said so. I believe in MAC and we’ll change this thing around.
  4. Question: For those season ticket holders, do you guys have to donate to the Bulls Club every year to obtain season tickets? If so, I am assuming the higher the donation, the better seats you'll be able to reserve. Am I right?
  5. Then I'm not impressed.. we should have posted a shutout. Either way, we dominated this game and hopefully we can turn this thing around.
  6. Well, I just graduated. The money will most likely flow after grad school. Get back with me in about 10 years. Actually, Smazza seems to be a big money maker. Hey Smazza what do you think?
  7. It's about time. Does the IVY league give out scholarships?
  8. I guess I agree too. USF is at a time where more and more people know who we are. I just don’t want us to be classified as "sucky" when people hear USF.
  9. Yea .. I give him credit. Would be nice to have a student travel to some of our away games and post recaps like that.
  10. I just want to point out the "negative" parts of this post from a GU board. Yes there were some good things mentioned. Overall though, I am kind of disappointed. --Encouraging words from our bartender at Tia’s when we asked him if many students were going to show up at the Sun Dome for the game that night: “Oh…I doubt it…we have the worst school spirit ever.†If this was said by a USF student.. shame on you.. the "lack" of school spirit is caused mainly from students like you. But at half capacity, the Sun Dome is FAR from an intimidating arena. It reminds me a little bit of Alumni Hall in Annapolis for those who went to that game earlier in the year, and a little of a Ryder Center-Miami Convocation Center-Whatever the hell bank it’s name after now Center on steroids. Ugly color schemeâ€â€there are alternating sections of green and gold throughout the arena, Just give us a few years. I have to agree with the colors.. we need gold and not yellow and off yellow IMO. The layout of the Sun Dome is ATROCIOUS howeverâ€â€there are four entrances that I could tell, and when you walk in there’s a little “patio†area with some tables and food machines next to the bathrooms. But that’s the ONLY concourse area to really speak ofâ€â€you walk to your seats through this narrow walkway around the middle level that seems designed especially to accommodate 1.5 people at the same time. Do you guys even have an on campus arena? What do you expect, a pro arena like the MCI Center? --As for the stuff USF’s students did: they do have a decently clever t-shirt slogan, in the angry-sarcastic-student-fan-sense: “If You Can’t See, Stand Up!†Man, how I wish I could have pulled that one out on some angry old farts at McD back in the days of the Esherick cupcakes. They also have a convenient promotional tie-in with Dodge (“Grab Life by the Hornsâ€Â). The whole “Sign of the Bull†thing is super lame thoughâ€â€mainly because where I come from they call it “Hook ‘Em Hornsâ€Â. AND I’M FROM FLORIDA!! The little circular arm motion they do with it is even betterâ€â€think Steve Buscemi as the dance instructor in the “Judge Judy†sketch on SNL. Must be a gator fan before deciding to go to GU. I LOVE the figure eight "sign of the bull" “Bulls on Paradeâ€Â. --The only good offering from the smallish USF band: You Dropped a Bomb on Me. And, possibly, the giant inflatable “BRICK†thing waved at GU FT shooters during the second half. I have no idea if that guy was actually in the band. That's like a 1/4th of the band. They all show up for our I-A football games. HOT is great! --Layup line/Lineup Intro Music: BAD: “It’s Goin’ Down†by the X-Ecutioners, USF Bulls I like it, how about you? --Okay, one thing USF does deserve credit for (outside of, you know, outplaying us for 40 minutes and turning Hoyatalk into one giant nuclear meltdown): the USF Sun Dolls. Not QUITE the Sunsations, but hey, it’s their first year in the conference. NOTHING is better than the Sundolls! --If you’re wondering, and I know you are…yes, about 5 USF students tried to rush the court from the corner at the end of the game. And were shut down…by some fat guy in plain clothes. Probably a good thing the student section didn’t do anything, because had they taken the path of least resistance, they almost certainly would have killed our radio announce team. Which would be bad for the drinking games and all. We will rush when the time is right. And next time, no one will stop our students. Great recap Flhoya...definatley not one of the best layouts for an arena...i was in the upper section and it took me forever to realize you had to enter the bottom bowl in order to find a restroom and food...And the scoreboards were annoying and rarely showed stats on the game..Overall though happy i made the trip over there despite the lousy performance That is because you are a loser! Jealous of our on campus arena scoreboards? Get over yourself. Sorry guys, but this post kind of angered me a bit. Good find though Ricky ÂÂ
  11. Very true.... I've been reading and visiting this site since my freshman year (2001-2002). I decided to finally register when I felt like posting about the bowl game. Now that I have graduated (this past December), this message board is as close as I can get to talking USF sports "on campus".. more of a community full of USF fans. Might as well get used to posting. At least I'll have something to do during Duke Basketball games next year in Durham.
  12. Would be nice to see a "Miami Beach/South Beach" in Tampa... I'm originally from Miami/Ft. Lauderdale and lived in Miami Beach for 14 years. Every time I go down to visit, there are more and more buildings going up (30+ stories high and a crap load of them). Oh and the prices of these apartments.. $$$$$$ Having that national “South Beach†publicity would not hurt USF in recruiting students. I see Tampa getting bigger too. Just like all things.. it takes time. South Beach wasn't "South Beach" 20 years ago....
  13. Do you think a "+" Rep and "-" Rep can be added to the board. For example, you would give a "+" Rep for a good post or topic to a board member. You can even give a "+" Rep for some great "inside scoop" information (with evidence of course, like a link). You would give a "-" Rep for a bad response that has nothing to do with the original topic etc... However, you are limited on the amount of "Reps" that can be given out on a daily basis. This is just an idea. I have seen this on other message boards and it works pretty well. At least you'll know who to avoid and who to turn to for some help/questions.
