Pathetic Crowd....

bs excuse. There are like 30k students at the Tampa campus. Your telling me we can't even get 5k of them to go to games? Current students aren't any different than years past. Had nice student sections before, but people actually cared about the program then. Current students have zero dedication to the school and program.

Very true; I remember camping out for WVU tickets in '07. That was back when we had the biggest student section in the Big East and I can tell you there were many of us who worked through school in the student section that night.

Flew down again this week from NW NJ mountains like I have for EVERY home game this year, and the FSU road game. (will be at Navy next week,  and the remaining home games as well as the UCF on thanksgiving).  Students attendance was pathetic to say the least.    

In all seriousness, What does the school have to do to get students to come to the game? (don't give me the win and they come crap) We are on a 3 game winning streak , currently sitting in second place in the AAC East behind Temple (who we host in a cpl of weeks).   Having our best season in years.   The new generation of Instant gratification, selfies and social media is the problem.

Do you really believe 2 place means anything when none of the conference wins were against a team with a winning record?   OCC wins against FAMU (FCS)and Cuse (another team with a losing record) Don't prove much.

Look at the full body of work and put it in perspective.  Yes we have 3 losses,  but lets examine those losses. 1) FSU  on the road against the defending National champions currently ranked in the top 10 in their bld.  We played them well, all but one quarter really. (covered the spread as well).  We also Had opportunities to win the game.  2) Memphis currently in the top 20 and undefeated with a Heisman candidate QB. Held them to half their season average for points scored. Should had beaten them if not for a few plays. Lost by 7.  3) MD our one bad game of the year so far.   Ill give you that one.

The 4 wins were against:  1)Syracuse (Power conference school)beat them solidly ,(they were 3-1 at the time when we beat them, their loss coming from #8 LSU BY 10).  2) UConn conference mate that usually gives us trouble (at least in the past or played us closely),(they had a 500 record at the time(3-3) and it was their homecoming game)(beat them Solidly as well.  3)FAMU in our first game and we destroyed them 51-3.  4) SMU another conference mate, beat them by 24 today. ( held them to 14 points, half their season average for points scored).Last year squeaked out a win vs them.

So lets recap:  We  beat a Power conference School Syracuse  who had one loss at the time, Destroyed a cupcake, and spanked two conference mates.  We not only won, but covered the spread With points to spare.  

This is the most exciting Team we have had in 5 or more years.   Lots of talent, explosive players and starting to show it.   If this is not enough to get fans interested I don't know what is.

Bad overreaction in this thread. Bulls show up when we win. It will happen with a delay, but it will happen. Best year for attendance was 2008, not 2007.

You're not going to get good attendance against the bottom of the barrel AAC teams unless we are ranked or it's UCF. The hardcore fans already go, but the average fan of USF football is not going to spend 5+ hours of their time going to see us battle 1-6 SMU.

Tampa fans are the worst. Bandwagon fans.  Always an excuse for not showing up.    Not just the Bulls but all the teams.  "Rays play too far away"  even when we were having our playoff run's.  "Bucs are horrible" or "the Glazers are greedy",   "Its too hot to sit out for a game"   "its a bad game time"   blah blah blah...    We (our fans complain about the lack of respect from the rest of the country (espn) yet we give them all the fuel they need to make fun of our fan base.   If we want to be Big time(Power conference) than we need to start acting like a power conference school and supporting our team no matter what, esp now that we are turning it around and still in the conference race heading into the final week of Oct.
