Round one of Bulls Q and A, starting with the legend of the USF airwaves, Jim Louk. From GoUSFBulls.com: Since 1983, Jim Louk has been the voice of USF Athletics. Louk came to USF that year as the radio play-by-play announcer for the USF men's basketball team and served as the lead voice until the conclusion of the 1996-97 season. He then made the transition to football in USF's inaugural 1997 campaign, and still serves as the team's play-by-play announcer today. You've seen a number of his written features over the years as well. Questions for Jim can range from this season to waaaaaaay back in the beginning of Bulls Football. Jim's Q&A from last season Please get your questions in as fast as you can. Feel free to post them here or email using this email link. My goal is to turn the questions in to Jim be end of day Wednesday, August 15th. Thanks, Brad

Here's a deep find, lol... Veronica, or Ronnie, played softball for USF for 2 years 2014-15. She was JUCO transfer who had a pretty good Jr. year batting .322 but regressed her senior year batting .231....at any rate, she is part of team USA for women's baseball, that's right baseball, not softball. She was part of the PAN-AM team and is currently in the team trials which ends 6/18 and, if she makes it, will be part of the team that goes to the World Cup of Women's baseball, in August, in Viera Florida. Go Bulls!
