Why you need to start coming to the Willie Taggart Radio Show on Mondays

[Mike Stuben]

I wanted to share some information about coming out to the Willie Taggart Radio Show, live from the Beef O Brady's in the Marshall Center on Monday's from 7 to 8PM. 

First the details - For those "old timers" like me, it is important to stay connected to USF in more ways than Ray Jay on 6 or 7 Saturdays a year. The student center, the "new" Marshall Center is impressive. There is a parking garage close to the MSC, with a machine on each floor that sells a daily parking pass for $5 near the elevators (keep reading, I'll tell you how to get your $5 back in a moment). Enter the campus from Fletcher near the credit union, much easier to get to the Marshall Center that way. (Can someone tech savy who knows campus add a map of campus showing the garage and the Marshall Center) 

Deals for those coming to the show: 

- 50% off burgers

-App and drink specials

-Prizes given away during commercial breaks

-Get your parking for free, just tell your server you paid $5 to park, and they will knock $5 off your dinner bill

Now, the real reason why you should come to the show - 

Right now USF is a program on the verge of becoming a big time program, but fans still have access to some of the greatest perks that big time programs don't have. The average Alabama fan doesn't get to have dinner with Saban. We can still have experiences that bring us close to the inside of the program we love. Someday, opportunities like this will be rare. Going to the shows are a fun, cool experience. Don't wait for a day when chances like this are gone and wish you went more often. I'll be there this upcoming Monday, and everyone on this board who lives in the Tampa area, should try to make at least one show (but I bet you will come back for more).

I went to a show last year at Wiregrass and loved it. I'm only in Tampa on the weekends so I have to come from Ocala, but it's well worth it.

i used to go every week back in the first 10 -15 years of the program. I got away from going, but I am really getting fired up to go on Monday. Thanks for the endorsement of the experience, OcalaBull2.

I actually was doing an evening run yesterday and I ran by Beefs when I realized the show was about to start; it looked a lot more empty than I originally thought. If I wasn't drenched in sweat I would've went in. I think I'll stop by this Monday. I literally work in the building next door and maybe I'll just hang around! What's it like?

I haven't been to the show in a few years. So, I'll defer that part of the question. I work in the Marshall Center, so this is a home game for me. (I don't know if we know each other, because I only know who a few of the handles on this board are)

If you come, be sure to say hello. I'm a big guy, I'll be there with my wife and maybe more.

We might, your name sounds very familiar. I work in the College of the Arts, in Theatre I.

I work by USF but have had other commitments the past 2 weeks.

I'll make sure to clear out Mondays for the rest of the season!

I worked for CoTA for about 3 years... left 5 years ago to work at the Medical side of USF for another 2 years.

Great memories of the college!

Great post Mike. I've been to a few shows and always thought it was amazing to have such access to a head coach.  Also disappointed there were usually maybe 10-20 people actually listening to coach.  Hopefully it will be different this year and moving forward.

Great post, Mike!! I been to many of the USF shows. Have not been going lately because of work. Once I retire, I will be at all the USF shows. I remember going to all the Leavitt shows during 2007. That was the year that the bandwagon got crazy. The show was held at Splitsville in Channelside which was right near my work. It started off with a few people at the beginning of the season but then grew when USF made #2 ranking. I'm hoping we see something silmilar to that year this season.
