And tampas streetcar thanks to the auto industry. I start planning school in the fall, and Tampas awful history of planning helped influence that decision.

Anywaysssss, back on topic haha...

I'm glad to see others being aware of this.  Its a well documented tragedy

DT Deadrin Senat has signed with South Florida Bulls!!! #USF #Bulls#NationalSigningDay Immokalee. http://yfrog.com/od8e1ulbj

Its to let people know when theres a home game.... helped me avoid downtown numerous times

Obligatory post, old Orange Bowl placed on our campus, at scale:

That's a nice building.

Ah yes, the ocean view stadium.  Its nice and affordable.

Remember that the Big 10 is only taking AAU members.

 

The only AAU members up for grabs are:

 

-Duke

-Georgia Tech

-UNC

-Pittsburgh

-UVA

 

If they want to get up to 16 members to keep up with the other conferences while only including AAU schools, they're going to have a tough time of it. Duke, GT, and UNC would much rather be in the SEC, I'm sure. That leaves them with Pitt and UVA for 14 members, so eventually if this "super conference" thing does happen they're going to have to bite the bullet and consider schools with a "x-year AAU membership" plan.

 

Edit to say that the B1G also already has one non-AAU member in their conference: Nebraska.

Yes, but from what I understand Nebraska was booted out of the AAU after they joined the Big 10. It did make a difference in their entry. 

Correct. Nebraska was a member when admitted and it was was said if they weren't they probably wouldn't have been admitted.

Slick, you keep saying this but I don't think thats accurate, Nebraska was facing challanges in the AAU for over a decade, everyone knew that they were at risk for over a decade and the BIG 10 officials still went ahead with the invite.

I think the Big Ten would have taken Nebraska either way.  Nebraska losing AAU was not a surprise, it was a decade in the making.

Both the BIG 10 and Nebraska touted the AAU membership when they were invited in, but everyone knew the risk was there for them to lose membership.

I think Florida State moves to the Big 12 or possibly even the Big 10, which will leave a giant hole in the ACC to fill and will probably be USF's to take based on geography and money potential.  Eventually the ACC will become what the Big East has become, a conference that the big boys pillage from.  It may be ten or twenty years but there will be only four big conferences (Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and the Pac 10).

The Big 10 ONLY takes AAU members. Nebraska lost theirs after joining the Big 10 and its been said since that they would have not been allowed in unless they were AAU members at admission.

I think the Big Ten would have taken Nebraska either way.  Nebraska losing AAU was not a surprise, it was a decade in the making.

that was short lived

per greg. USF football announces that new receivers coach Robert Weiner has changed his mind and will stay at Plant High.

That park outside of the library is amazing. Today was my first time going by it and I must say, the pics don't do it justice.

my thoughts exactly

Here are some from the new park south of library

also some pics from the soccer game vs Michigan

I plan on attending the game tonight and wanted to learn some of the chants, can you guys point me where to find em? Or can anyone post them?

2-0 USF last updated at 38:56 1st half

Seems like it has its own runway as well.

It borders the airport.

USF, FAU, and FIU are all located on former military bases/airstrip. You can still see the former runways on all 3 campuses (USF's is south of Fowler near brewery)

My mom recently did a helicopter tour in Ft. Lauderdale, here is the pic she took in Boca:

deja vu

sharp uniforms are sharp

hilarious

USF, home of the Bulls

Why does our OCS have red seats?

The stadium shown in the pic is the old Orange Bowl (RIP). Both USF and Orange Bowl imagery were collected at the same scale.

That area is a protected wetland I thought? On a side note, Google has their new imagery posted and I found this gem while scrolling through campus:

obligatory pic post:

A couple of behind the scene pics (via facebook): http://www.facebook....04229599&type=1

This one is cool.

Bringing back male cheerleaders? Or false advertisement?

Looks like the cheerleader behind the blonde could find a spot on our line

I believe this picture is from the back where they recently expanded... maybe it will match this one day:

This might make it easier to compare the different years more closely:

Thanks, heres a quick gif
