Book Store Management Change

[BulledOver]

Just ordered my annual Bull's shirts(say that fast) from the campus bookstore. Had an interesting conversation with a nice guy (poss mgr). He was telling me that a company by the name of Follett is assuming management. They will expand the Adidas line along with other things. They will make it more Alumni friendly( Alum Assoc discount) during the checkout process. So hopefully they will get more shirts, hats, etc. in as they are available. You local guys probably know about this change already. He wasn't aware of TBP. Might be nice to have them post interesting specials, new arrivals, etc as it might pertain to alumni if, that is allowable on this site? The only hiccup in this deal is, he is a UTEP grad however, we worked on the Go Bull's concept so I think he caught on. Texas has bulls so it should be a no brainer.

Yeah this was discussed about two months ago. Your suggestion is excellent andcsomething that is needed.

Good to hear.  We usually hit up the bookstore to restock on gear before the start of football season.  The alumni discount has been nice.

Well Barnes and Noble ran it prior, so maybe this change will be a good thing...I'll give them a chance.

I’ve never seen an on campus bookstore with cheap pricing. Just is not going to happen.

Have they always had Tommy Bahama shirts? Love my USF gear but my love hasn't reached the point where I'm paying $150 for a shirt ...

Saw that, that was absolutely ridiculous.

I'm always amazed at the irony of people looking for cheap.  From gear to seats to fees.  However, when it comes to an OCS cheap will not do.  Amazing how when it's "my money" I'm fiscally responsible.

Go Bulls!

That shirt is timeless and very high quality.  If taken care of it will last 10 year's.  $15.00 a year seem like a good return.  

Go Bulls!
