Southshore.... You just proved my point. IT was YOUR athletic department that refused to allow the FSU band to come. That was classless, and par for the course to an athletic program that is more conference USA than anything else. But this is just one small reason of many why UCF is going to pass you guys by....for one, they have their own staduim, and have a lot more history. And now that they are in the Big East with you guys, watch how the Big 3 play anybody but USF. Treat folks badly, and word gets round....

FSU asked USF if it could bring it's full band, as it had allowed USF to bring its band in 2009. The USF Athletic department refused, because FSU will not renewe the series. Point blank, that was class-less. So FSU was forced to bring its pep band (150 members vice the 500 member band). Give HOT credit for playing the fight song, but the fact is that USF Athletic department fouled this all up, to include the fact that only 58,000 fans actually came to the game (nearly 11,000 no shows...) What gives on that... Given how hard USF tried to deny FSU fans tickets, and in light of the fact that about 60 percent of the crowd was FSU fans...why not allow both bands to take the field (aka FSU v. Florida, where both bands perform prior to the game as one band on the field...it is what makes that game so great!)

I still think this is different. Not gonna tell my one FSU friend to sit alone. Sorry guys. You are an @ssh0le and so is your d0ucheb@g friend. I will make it my personal vendetta to seek you both out. Once you are both thrown out for getting into a fight, which will happen, your exit will be cheered on by the true USF fans while you are escorted out of the stadium. Seriously, f&*k you. Hem: What kind of Troll are you? Who died and gave you the right to decide for anyone who they root for: Everyone of your posts make you look like a complete jerk. You are exactly the kind of fan that makes your school look minor league, and frankly you will end up in Jail by the end of the game. Hey, USF Fan, clue in.... You don't think Alabama- Auburn is heated, or FSU v. Miami or FSU v. Florida. These games get played every year, and every year, students wear their gear, SITTING IN EACH other's student section. Often times national titles are on the line. And nothing happens. Why is that...because students at these schools have some class. They know that they will play every year, and that it is just a game. And beleive me, those games mean a lot more than this game here against a directional school. If you see FSU folks in your section, feel free to rib them in a classy way. FSU lost to USF a few years back, and none of you heard of any USF fans gettting into it with FSU fans.... try to show some class!

I am sure that by the end of the 1st Quarter that the 12 USF fans left in the stadium will make a real difference....

As an FSU fan/grad who lives five miles from USF...the self loathing here is beautiful....have my four tickets...can't wait for Saturday! I expect USF to play their best game of the year, and I expect FSU to bring their A game. Quick story. Like the USF game, FSU lost in an embarrasing fashion at home to Notre Dame. Chris Rix essentially gave Notre Dame the game with 3 turnovers over four plays, giving Notre Dame all they needed to pull out the win. That game, like the USF game a few years back, stuck in the team's gut.....FSU then traveled to Notre Dame to play in South Bend and handed Notre Dame the worst home loss in their school history. Notre Dame did not gain a first down until late in the fourth quarter. I am not suggesting that this will happen on Saturday, but it is not out of the question. This FSU team is FAR better than the team that traveled to Notre Dame and that Notre Dame team was better than this USF team. In addition, Ball State scored more points against the USF Defense then they scored against the Clemson defense. FSU scored 49 points on Clemson (could have been more). USF offense is not Clemson. Not even close. Clemson scored over 50 points on Ball State. USF only 27. Over half the staduim is going to be FSU fans, and it may have a home game feel to it. First road game after a big win, and a lot of Tampa players on this FSU team. Could it be close. Sure...but not very likely. I see USF getting 10 points here. But I see FSU scoring about the same amount as against Clemson. I see Clemson defense and USF defense at about the same level. My prediction: 45-10 with the game over early in Third...
