It's amazing to see the transformation of the campus over the years, there is so much more elaborate and well laid out landscaping plus all the new buldings and more construction in progress. Makes me proud of my USF heritage. Where you from? Every Floridian I grew up with called them sand SPURS... Never heard them called BURRS until this thread. Whatever you call them, they were downright NASTY!! One thing i do NOT miss about Florida, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid to ask why the other one is named incertus. Where exactly does it insert itself? (other than your foot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
