I'm taking my son because he is a Bucs fan.  It's better than experimenting with drugs, lately, maybe.

Road trip of about 25 miles and likely 90 minutes.  You should come out.

Is that a general invite for us left-coasters, or just for Trip? :D

I disagree. If the team plays the way they are capable we could be 9-1 or 10-0 heading into this game. If we are undefeated that late in the season, the casual fans will start to show up and the stude

Tulsa is hardly a **** team, but I assume you mean "name" team, like most of the AAC is.

I don't know, if my sons are debating being Bucs fans or experimenting with drugs, I'm going to have find out what drugs.

Mebbe so, but hilarious, nonetheless!

I guess that's not entirely fair, the Bucs are right up there with experimenting with Ambien.

22,000 butts in seats here we come.. I like the TV exposure, but a Thursday night game against a **** team doesn't exactly bring out the casual fan who has to get up the next day and go to work... would love to be wrong

I wouldn't say they're a chit team.

That offense could light our defense up if we didn't learn to tackle.

Some perspective: Our "nationally" televised games from last year were as follows (doesn't include games on CBS Sports Network, as they aren't rated/measured) 

FSU - 2.6 million

South Carolina - 2.3 million

Temple - 1.3 million

Navy - 556,000

Memphis - 169,000

Cincinnati - 144,000

For all the hemming and hawing by our fans, it would certainly seem to be extremely advantageous from a National exposure perspective to be playing weeknight games. I would venture to guess that if our game against Temple was on Saturday night instead of Friday night, viewership would have been between 200 and 300k. Getting between 4 to 6 times the amount of eyes on the awesome and exciting product that USF football is putting on the field is worth being inconvenienced and only being able to tailgate for an hour or two 3 times this season, IMO. I encourage everyone to sacrifice the hour of sleep, get a babysitter for the night if need be, and support what could end up being a Top 10 team this season.

Perhaps we will see some tickets deals or free tickets to selected games for Lightning season ticket holders to get them exposed to USF football, especially on those games where we don't expect high demand.  I know we have a sign on one of the boards at Amelie, but I would expect to see a lot more USF marketing at home hockey games.

I thought the reason attendance was down at USF games on the same nights the Lightning play is because all the Lightning fans are season ticket holders.  :stirpot:

And despite all the above numbers our season ticket base is only up slightly.  National exposure could be good for garnering some votes in polls but it isn't putting fannies in seats.
