I remember listening to a POD CAST at the end of November last year from VOODOOFIVE.com

 

There was soo much disappointment with our program. Season ended on a bad low. 

 

It's great that our football season is still going!

It feels like the old days.....when we thought we could beat anybody....or at least scare them really bad. Just think 2016 and 2017 are looking to be even better.

I am so glad I stuck with the team during the rebuild because it is such a good feeling & I sure appreciate the "W's" much more.  Those that didn't bail know that feeling well.  Can't wait for that last drop of college ball in Miami.  The future for USF Bulls is looking bright  & already counting down to next season.  :GoBulls: :iconic_u_black:

Feels **** good....road trip to Miami, recruiting bout to hit high gear....the future is **** bright....feels **** good to be on our way back

On December 24, 2010 I became deathly ill where I had to be rushed to the hospital on the night we were supposed to host Noche Buena for over 20 people. I few days later I woke up and among other things I realized was that I wasn't going to be able to attend our bowl game against Clemson. I obviously had more important things on my mind such as long couple months recovery....but I was really disappointed that I couldn't watch USF take on Clemson.

I recall my father-in-law trying to cheer me up by saying, "Don't be sad, with coach Holtz running the show now....there will be many more and bigger bowl games in the future". Yeah...that really happened lol....

History fills in the gap of what happened between then and now... (See epic program catering)...but I wonder if folks today appreciate how special it is to be in a bowl game. Sure it's not the Sugar Bowl....or against a high profile opponent...but it's our first bowl game in what seems like forever. Our fans took our early success for granted, so hopefully as a fanbase and community we appreciate what USF is once again building. I think almost all of us back in 2010 never envisioned that our once proud program would fall so far...so quickly. 

In strange way, I think the last five years have been useful b/c it has hopefully instilled some humbleness and appreciation. I know that our players understand...b/c the legitimate smiles of pure joy on our kids faces after beating the tar out Temple, Cincy and Central High Clown College. Those smiles were real...as were the smiles of those in attendance.  I think we are on finally back on track again...and this time it almost feels more like we earned it b/c it almost seemed to easy back in the early days of the program.

If you are on the fence about attending...and have the time off and can afford the trip....do yourself a favor and make the drive/flight down to Miami. I think some of our old time fans that are a still a little jaded by the events of the last couple 5-6 years may have that old Bulls Love flame re-kindled once again if they can make the trip.

I have a friend in the Herd of Thunder, she said that so many band members were emailing the band director with questions about Miami that he had to eventually send out a mass response basically saying: "For two weeks I've been getting these redundant emails with basic questions about the Miami game and said to myself 'Haven't any of you been to a bowl game before?!?!?' Then I took a step back and remembered that no...they haven't."

Grateful.  I was so close to canceling my season tickets after the 2014 season.  My wife and I left many before the 3rd quarter.  Fortunately, my seat mate persuaded me to renew as we only see him and his wife at our tailgates.

My wife and I will be on the bus on 12/21 and look forward to cheering for the Bulls.  It is her bowl game.  I am grateful that I endured the pain.  It makes me enjoy the pleasure that much more!

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
