Hell, most have no idea who Bill Russell is now. He disappeared with that other USF. Football is the dog, all other college sports are the tail and San Fran football ended many decades ago.

So no one outside of California, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, the entire Pacific time zone and half the Mountain...about 30% of the population, conservatively, can't distinguish between the two. Yeah...there's no reason for us to use South Florida over USF. Edited July 24, 2018 by JTrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was funny. That was about 25 years ago...I may have had one of the first USF (San Francisco style) shirts in Tampa. I wore it. But didn't find it funny.

We are also proud in IT that someone had the foresight to grab usf.edu before they could get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...there's no reason for us to use South Florida over USF. No, as I stated in my initial post, our USF has surpassed the other in the west. Sure there are exceptions but our brand is greater than theirs. Once CFB starts back up and someone in Cali I’d discussing USF I don’t think they will be referring the San Fran. In terms of using South Florida...don’t get me started. 12 minutes ago, Brad said: I first heard of the other USF when I was working at Barnett Bank in Tampa and my boss gave me a USF shirt, the San Francisco USF type.

It sucks that the colors are the same... Edited July 24, 2018 by NewEnglandBull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know two schools going by South Florida and one is a state college that I’m sure many on here have never heard of.

I said "South Florida" but didn't have time to deny I was a scout before he could tell me about his third baseman....should probably pass him on to Coach Mohl. I'm not kidding. I give the guy credit for seeing the U and knowing it had to be South Florida or San Francisco..... at least he didn't say"re you scouting with USF or USF, right?" With that said, I love the SOUTH FLORIDA on the jersey and the U on the shoulders! Less than 40 days ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
