If anyone can figure out how to print the tickets please let me know. Print was grayed out for me.

I just got an email from USF with .pdf guides for everything but printing the tickets.  At the bottom of the email it says to contact the 1-800-GOBULLS number with any questions. 

Interesting that the print button is active for the parking passes though. 

Impressive!

All I can say after opening the box is,

“S-O-U-T-H F-L-O-R-I-D-A!”

I was literally in the middle of typing this reply saying I was concerned that I hadn’t gotten an email regarding the delivery of my box (and I was one of the folks that got the envelope instead of the box last year) when my rep called to see if I was going to the luncheon. Didn’t ask why I hadn’t gotten an email but he gave me the tracking number so I should get it tomorrow. 

Can’t wait - Rocky and Matt can use a new friend!

I sure hope we get Wilcox involved more and he has a great season.  Always looking for examples to show kids to stay that senior year.

I have a separate season ticket account just to give a pair and a Lot 6 parking pass to my employees, so I’m looking forward to getting some more info on how to best distribute these.  But since the Bucs and Bolts have been doing these for some time, I’m confident others are doing it now.

I am with you. I am old school with this. I still have a great collection of stubs from every sporting event I attended from 6 years old until about 35 (including Super Bowl 25 held in Tampa). Every now and then I can look though them and remember some of the meaningful games. 

I get it NewEnglandBull, and I've saved A LOT of printed tickets over the years that I treasure (like USF game number 1), but the world of paper is making its departure.  When we were six, we pretty much only had that ticket to go to in order to reminisce about the games anytime you wanted.  Now you can watch YouTube and look at the 50 photos you take on your iPhone of everything from the tailgate, the game, and the post-game parties.  And to be honest, now I scan the "big game" tickets and store them on my computer with all the photos.

I say give it a chance.  Especially after talking to some folks here at work who have Lightning tickets cards and have no problems with them.

That early goal line turnover was huge in getting the confidence up for our team.

That area up there is a migratory destination for Floridians ....

I’ve been told up there we’re called Floridiots.

I was sitting up on Glacier Point in Yosemite a week ago and got a “Go Bulls” from an alumnus.

Boy the citation is adding insult to injury. That's a pretty rare citation. He was prob disoriented from initial wreck which could screw up your thought process thus bad timing or decision. Best part is Mike will mend his way out of this life hurdle. 

No such thing as auto accidents anymore.  The deputy probably was compelled to cite him after the crash of the Versa and Denali which he basically caused (disoriented or not).  Hopefully no one in those cars were hurt, because in today's world, he may be looking at legal issues on top of his own medical issues.  God I hope not, but I've had co-workers get pulled into civil lawsuits for things like this.

Found this in my Google Photos archive from August 2003 Fan Appreciation day. Jim was very gracious to all of us that day. He signed posters, shook hands, and talked some USF football. Those were the days...

lol - that's my son's hand holding the football next to him.!

This is very interesting. We have friends who have seats in 214 and have always had Club Access.  Don't know if that is because of Donor Level or if that section had been included in the past. But it doesn't appear to be included now. Will have to have him check into it.

Is it possible that they've always donated more than $1,000?  I asked if USF was still making that exception in an earlier post but now reading the fine print in Trip's posted image, I see the following quote (and it's been there for years):

"If seated in a non-club area, Green Bull donors ($1,000 +) will receive club access"

I believe Q's prototype has a fixed head, but his right hand bobbles - aka "rolling dice".

While the stadium is rarely full the Club (at least on the West Side) often is. Club Access should absolutely be a benefit of certain sections IMHO

Certain sections and certain Bulls Club levels....

Certain sections and certain Bulls Club levels and only USF-gear-wearing fans!

Actually, I would be fine with opening the club to any section as long as the ticket holder is at a certain donor level, which is how it used to be.  Not sure if that's still the case.

Why hasn't she said what that next chapter is?  Or has she and I just missed it.  Will she be pursuing a professional career or start a career as a psychologist?

Well, according to Joey Knight, Laksa appears to be seeking to transfer to another school to play ball. Odd. 

Well, now we know why she wasn't sharing her "next chapter"...

We won a trip with the football team to Cinci a few years back.  Believe it was at the golf tournament at that time.  It was one of the most fun, enlightening things we've done.  To see all the work that does on behind the scenes is fascinating.  It was a 7pm start and remember seeing Jim Louk and the radio people leaving the hotel at noon to prep.  On the flight home he was one of the few not trying to sleep as he had to make notes to summarize the game that just ended plus research the next team for his radio show.  All the marketing people were busy with prepping tweets to go out at certain times.  Taking the bus ride from the airport to the stadium for a look around and then to the hotel all with a police escort was so freaking cool.  Seeing how much some of the players eat while on the plane, both coming and going, was amazing. Didn't think we'd ever bid on it again but the Mrs said to go for it.  

I won a season ticket drive contest many years ago and got to go on the team's plane to Cincy.  Because it was a bad game for us, the highlight for my son was definitely the police escorts and being with the players on the bus and plane (and the gargantuan meals).

"Veit said using the athletic logo was “a smart move” because it will be seen on television, newspapers and various advertising elements which will expose USF nationally and allow the brand to resonate for years into the future."

Thank God the Merrill Lynch logo hadn't made it to the license plates yet.  Then, unfortunately, it would have resonated for years.

When does she drop it?  I have been watching this thing for twenty minutes...

Drop what?

I think you’ve been had. 

I once had a buddy drop my business card in a fishbowl at the Tanga so that “Bambi” calls me at my office to let me know I’ve “won” a party and when can they expect me.

But yours was definitely worse. 

I used the excuse that I have an hour drive to work from St. Pete every day to not go to any games this year. Who would want to then make the drive up to Fowler?

That turned out to be a pitiful excuse given the effort of this team all year.

Is there a payout for winning this tourney? Regardless, have to say it was worth entering now. This might be the last trophy we see the basketball team win.

You could see how happy the players were when they were handing out the t-shirts at the end. 

 

The payout is not having to pay anymore.

Corporate sponsor Roman wants to make this tournament as long and hard as possible. 

I think by now they’ve gotten most of the wrinkles out as well.

Best memory of that season for me was the win over FSU in a PACKED (10,400) Sun Dome.  The old moveable seats on the second level were shaking so much, I thought the 12 year old building was falling down!  Good times and great memories.

GO BULLS!

And that was only 5 days after we beat UF on their court.  I remember how excited everyone was leading up to this game.
