Pathetic. In contrast, the Orlando papers have fully embraced UCF. Granted, they don't really have anything else sports-wise to talk about aside from the Magic, but they're doing what they should--exceeding the publicity from the worst season ever with praises for their best season ever. I'm embarrassed for Tampa in times like this--the mayor and business leaders seem to get USF's contributions, but the dumb media seems clueless.

Seriously, though.  Look at what they write when they do write (or scribble).  It's puke.  It truly is best used as

That means Luca Brasi is sleeping with the fishes.

Don't worry-- Fennelly is probably working up some brilliant prose that makes fun of our win somehow. He might even make a two sentence paragraph (don't hold your breath). My guess is he might have seen 5 minutes of the game-- saw how small the crowd was-- and will barf up a column about how small time USF will always be.

To be fair-- most people in Tampa don't give a **** about USF unless they went there and follow the football team. You don't change that in twenty years-- you'll be lucky to make a dent after 50 years. We are basically just not important enough for anyone to care. We had a moment where we made some noise but because it didn't become something amazing (after the rankings came out with us #2)-- we got relegated to the forever trash pile by the media.

All the same-- you would be hard pressed not to see adequate coverage about any local team when no one else is playing. So someone has decided to NOT promote USF football even in the most obvious situations. So yeah-- screw them.

STAMPEDE!!!   Enough is enough. Called TBT & complained.

And, for every complaint, they receive 3X "attaboys" from the others left in the office of the TBTimes and their little gator and seminole friends.

This is exactly why we dropped our subscription last year.  They called and asked why.  We told them.  They said “thank you.”   They don’t care.

Ditto. Every BULLS fan should cancel.

GO BULLS!

Agreed, but the local media continues to refuse to embrace our fantastic university. They refuse to see anything the old and tired big 3 narrative. Change is hard, especially when it involves making money. This town needs an enema. 

 

At the risk of getting tarred and feathered, our fan base needs an enema. :ph34r: The Times responds to readership demands. Our fans are rather quiet, when compared to our brethren to the north.

Miss you, Mike G! You're spot-on though.

I respectfully disagree, however our fan base is much smaller that the big three. Either way USF is in Tampa Bay and is huge part of the community. The local media should embrace this school like they do up north. People will get on board with more support.
