Come on, we need more participants.  It's a lot of overhead if we don't get some Bulls fans involved.

There will be per game prizes (likely USF players trading cards (Dobras, Atkins, Jones & more) or keychain type USF novelties).  Also other prizes for specific performances and, of course, the grand prize.

Help build support for the team and have fun doing so by participating in the contest.  More to come...Please join in!
