The line for a pic with CCS got as short as 2-3 people which I had never seen before. Last year the line for QBs stretched 2/3s of the way across the arena. This year was definitely not the case. The overall buzz was muted compared to the last few seasons. Last year they had 11x14s by position groups and this year they had a very generic card on each of the position group tables for the players to sign. I have not been to a fanfest in several years due to living out of town so I'm not sure where its been held recently. But do you think the lackluster attendance is due to being at the Yuengling Center instead of Raymond James? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the events on campus will solve all attendance woes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa down. Attendance would be HUUUUGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be waiting until TSA gets the actual numbers out. Edited August 12, 2018 by CousinRicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys were welcoming and many thanked us for coming out, I thanked them for being at USF. I love McCants and the sweet memory of him dragging a UCF player -We reenacted that moment! Another WR asked me if I was going to make it to some of the games. I answered, "ALL home games, and that's how you should be asking other fans!" Then another one asked, what about away games? When I answered that I'm going to CHI, several of the guys were utterly excited (I think it was a curve ball, but I hit it out the park). What I need from you guys is to give it your all, make me scream like a crazy person (visual: I was jumping up and down). During my time with the QBs I asked CO about how the competition was going and he said, "good." I gave him my 'that answer doesn't cut it look' and the new answer was that he is giving it his all and that he trusts his skills. I asked BB if his wife was coming and he said, "yes, she should be here shortly." Then I saw him with the baby. They came to support him even with questionable weather. We have a great team and they are representing our alma mater, our city -this is OUR Team! They chose USF, let's choose to be there and be LOUD! Bring others! I can't wait for the season to start!!! 1 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice he was good enough to do that. When my grandson got to him I told him "That's the UCF dragger". McCants smiled at that.
