Don't count on anything from him, no support, no facts, no understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much in Tampa. We certainly have no columnists that love us enough to pimp us the way Beyonce pimps UCF. That someone was one incredibly astute dude ... Orlando is really just a glorified college town with roller coasters and killer whales. Local critics here have plenty of truly big time sports to bash away at, O-town one, and they couldn't care less if USF makes the jump or not.

USF brings every thing to the table that UCF does. Every point that was made by Bianchi about UCF could have been made by Fennely in an article about USF, but he hasn't. I wonder why. 6 minutes ago, Brad said: Tampa goofballs like Fennelly will have the Rays, Bucs, Lightning to report on if the Bulls don't move up. Bianchi isn't in a true Pro town. College means something to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami (Coral Gables) is a place where rich kids go and then go back up north. UCF is more transient with the tourism industry. But Tampa draws people from all of those places who actually have to get jobs so we get fans of a lot of different teams here. With time and winning we will have more fans. The media will cover what sells. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/os-low-wage-orlando-scott-maxwell-20150905-column.html Edited July 29, 2016 by ToroDeFuego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Florida cities are low wage, even for people with college educations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell with a college degree, FSU or otherwise, lives in Ybor? And Hyde Park is infinitely more UF alumni than FSU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
