After that, UF, FSU, and Miami get the coverage for college football in the Tampa Bay area for the most part. That leaves USF way down on the totem pole. It is what it is. I have had season tickets for over 14 years and I will continue to enjoy my weekends with the Bulls.. if the local media can't catch on... so be it. I have the same attitude you have. All we can do is show up, support USF and encourage others to join us. The media will catch on once we are consistently good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to get alumni at the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media doesn't cover USF because there aren't enough fans, the fan base won't grow, because the media doesn't hype the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local media has been hyping the Rays for years, but it's made little difference. But I agree that USF gets little to no love in Tampa. Maybe that'll change one day, maybe not.

I still remember a few weeks ago a bay news 9 anchor said after a 15 second segment on our game: "And we'd be in a lot of trouble if we talked about USF and not the gators, so here's a preview for Saturday's UF game!"
