If enough people in the Tampa Bay area cared about USF (or at least made it known that they care) this would change. Until then, USF will always take a back seat to Florida, FSU, and big rivalry games.

Don't let the liberal media tell you how to think and feel.

I'm not naive.  I get the fact that there are more FSU/UF fans in Tampa than Bulls fans, but they could have at least split the coverage on the front page or at the very least put the game coverage in place of the Toad editorial article.  Someone with and axe to grind at theTBT decided to go with the Fennelly editorial article over game coverage on the front page.

I agree with you, but, like I said, enough people need to complain about it.

I just replied to an Odom tweet:

You can find the rest of our coverage from #USF-UCF here, including great stuff from @TBTimes_Bulls and @mjfennelly.

@jeffodom @TBTimes_Bulls @mjfennelly Thanks for the links. It makes it easier to find than it is on the print edition.

Here's an advice. 

You want USF coverage? Write blogs here.  Go read 247 and rivals too, they have people specifically designated to cover USF, and guess what, most of their coverage is free (the recruiting stuff gets a lot of quick news bolts, with only war rooms and actual recruiting input reserved for subscribers). There's the Daily Stampede, who does a wonderful job covering the bulls daily. There's plenty of good USF news coverage out there, you need only go to the right sources.

Tom Korun is Mr. Non Sequitur. All I did was respond to his "making clear" that CWT is staying. Seemed to respond to Fennelly's column. Instead, he changes the subject to Joey Knight. ABC Action News then liked Tom's tweet.

Media in this city is notoriously thin-skinned, defensive, and they circle the wagons for their own.

Very true; however, this rings on deaf ears around these parts. Keep talking up your Bulls and how much better of an entertainment option it is versus the Bucs, and maybe we can get more people to actually care with their pocketbooks.
