USF. The local media was buzzing regarding USF that year, and a bulk of those people were just curious Tampa residents that snagged tickets to come watch the "hot dog environment." I think the "we" that you refer to is actually quite small with room for expansion--just look at our season ticket and athletics donation numbers. Although we're 6-1 this season, the local media has been really, really quiet. Why? No clue. Talk up your Bulls and head to the games; they're fun again. Again, this little corner of the internet isn't the problem, it's getting Tampa Bay to buy-in locally on its Bulls. Pretty straightforward The media, and the casual fans, are expecting the dreaded late-season collapse. We've been here before, getting everyone all hot and bothered early on, only to pull out and die wheezing in the second half of the season. Why invest any time, money, or psychic energy in a team that's going to deflate halfway thru? Until we put together several strong-finish seasons, I fear we won't get the casual fans back, nor the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the number. USF just doesn't have that many fans. Just need more local fans period. Stop criticizing the existing ones.
