Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl: Marshall vs. South Florida

(8 p.m. ET on ESPN at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida)

USF is at home and boasts superior athletic talent, but this Bulls team has been thoroughly unimpressive, dropping its last five regular-season games after an inflated start. Marshall has a talented defense that will cause enough trouble for USF and get a big game from wide receiver Tyre Brady and other native Floridians in their return to familiar ground.

Prediction: Marshall 38, South Florida 30

So, USF boasts superior athletic talent, are home, but have been thoroughly unimpressive, so we're going with the other team.

Translation: Our coaching sucks

I looked around and didn't see any post as yet about the Gasparilla Bowl nod to USF. Personally, I think it works itself as a good thing for us. No travel but still make a few bucks for the game and get some ESPN exposure. All in all after the 5 game skid and the negative outpouring on TBP, it should give everyone a chance to take a breath. Our Team and Coaches will have no excuses going into this game. They get extra practice time. They don't need to upset their routine. There is a chance that Bull's fans may just embrace this game and show up to show support. Marshall is favored which is probably a good thing too. At this point I think this is an equal pairing. Again, no excuses. This is a chance at a sort of redemption for these Bull's. This is a chance for this years Team to say..Yep, we screwed the pooch on those 5 losses but we want to end the season on a win. Hey! it's a bowl game. Count em' theres about 120 teams playing ball but a minimal number going to a bowl game USF is one of those teams. 

Go Bull's !

Does anyone know if this promotion will also be awarded to people who have already renewed? I sent an email to USF asking but have not heard back yet.

I renewed this morning and did not see where to request bowl tickets.  Would like to know the answer to this question myself.

Confusion, I am shocked (not).

Not really confusing, I don't think. From the email:

Please note:

• Once you renew, you will automatically receive 2 FREE bowl tickets to your account.
• If you purchase any additional tickets, all of your purchased tickets and FREE tickets will sit next to each other.
• Unfortunately, we can only offer 2 free tickets per account, if you need more tickets for the 2018 Bad Boys Gasparilla Bowl you will have to purchase tickets.
• Enrolling in a 7-month payment plan allows you to renew now and spread out your season ticket payments over the next 7 months.
• The priority deadline to order bowl tickets is December 7^th at midnight. At that point, we will seat bowl ticket orders based on donor levels. Any tickets ordered after that date are not guaranteed to be seated by tickets designated previously.

They won't assign seats until some point after the 7th and that's when you'll automatically receive your free ones if you've renewed...... at least that's the way it looks to me.

Did you not look on the Main board? I'd be happy to move this into a bowl thread over there ...
