Of course they do...but they don't.

I'd stop suggesting that is what people need to do and start doing something to attract the people.

 

 

My solution:

Stop renovating RJS, and let the Bucs leave.  I would say raise the rent, but they probably don't pay anything to play there.

Then, we'd be a-okay.

:FIREdevil:

While many are excited, as am I, about the conversations around an OCS, the facts are the facts.  The cost is massive and at 40K - 50K seats the stadium would be 2/3 full for home games based on histo

Here's the way I see it: When I go to on-campus college football games... it's unequivocally different than attending a game in an NFL stadium miles from the school. I want an OCS to get that col

We are past the schedule as an excuse for poor attendance.

Yes, but USF has consistently been at or near the top of the Bullsheet pile.  Definately in the running for National Champions.  

Keep trying, Ned. Since very few others report actual attendance that assertion is also total bull**** ...

So at what stage will it become key that people are interested in USF, not the opponents?

Coach Strong mentioned this at the Bulls Rally today.  People need to come to see and support USF no matter the opponent.

You mean like xCWT did and turned the program a complete 180? Not much else a coach can do ....

You can do better than that to get me going .... but, to be honest, the Bucs are on my **** list right now for the way they've changed their ticketing procedures.

In coach's defense. I don't think he was telling the people at the Rally to support the team.  Pretty sure he knew that.

Call me crazy but I go to see the Bulls play and will go no matter who they play or where they play.  Hell, I even went to the fan fest and watched 2 hours of Bulls on Bulls practice.  

With all that being said, I hate the RayJay experience from the 2/3 empty stadium with red seats to the eyesore that is the pirate ship to the Bucs logo and branding everywhere no matter how they try and cover it up to tailgating in West Tampa.   I have club access seats and would gladly trade them in for bleacher seats in our own OCS.  If I want to watch a game in air conditioning in a comfy chair back, I'll stay home and watch it on TV.   Oh, and I'm over 50.  Playing at RayJay screams  USF is an after thought, which in reality we are in our supposed home field.

But because I love my Bulls, I will keep buying tickets to go see them play at RayJay in hopes that one day we can be like 97% of other FBS programs that play their games in their own OCS.

All one has to do is look at the empty/occupied seats in the stands to guesstimate the actual attendance.  You don't need the TSA numbers to see how big the pile of BS coming out of  the Selmon building is.

Never said it wasn't BS .... Just said the BS is not just confined to here and you have no idea where USF ranks in the shoveling of that BS.

Preach it Toro. I'm 60 and also would give up A/C and a comfy red seat for my own bleacher space in an OCS.  If I want a lousy NFL experience I can go to an NFL game.  The new required "comforts" are ruining the college football atmosphere. I know we're in the minority here.  GO BULLS!
