Agree that the Red Sox and Yankee fans feel the need to be complete jerks at Tropicana.....not sure why that is, maybe they dont behave that way in their own house.....but it sucks to have that type of experience at your home stadium.

Unfortunately its the nature of the beast for Tampa sports teams.

Been putting up with it for 43 years. It is the nature of the beast here, and most warm weather destination cities.

It'll be nice to see a baseball icon like Fenway without having to wade through dickweed Boston fans ....

I don't think the location matters.  😀

"As we all know, bowl games (and the four-letter firm that owns many of them) are about creating matchups that will sell the most tickets and generate the most favorable TV ratings.

And for its last bowl, in its home stadium, USF attracted an announced crowd of 14,135.

Would Bulls fans travel en masse to Boston for a chance to see their team in a classic venue? Possibly. But nearby Connecticut (if it ever becomes bowl-eligible again) almost certainly would attract a better audience. And Temple’s in a larger TV market. So is Houston, for that matter.

And even if the most attractive bowl matchup surfaced for the Bulls (say, USF vs. FSU), conference and bowl officials almost certainly would work in unison to stage that game in Florida (i.e. Gasparilla).

None of which is to suggest the Bulls have no shot at the Green Monster.

Just figuratively speaking, it’ll be a tough wall to scale"

I'm not sure "we all know" including the four letter word.  USF vs. Marshall had the intrigue of circa series Batman TV show.  Bad matchup playing some C-USA or A-Sun team, unless they expected the Herd to Thunder on down from West Virginia, the state with the highest use of over the air TV in the country.

Was that Tombo Jones again?

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
