Next trip to Tampa, I'd like to see the statue in person.

Do it during hockey season and take your son to a Bolts game. The little park is close to Amalie, and appropriately right across street from USF Health CAMLS

That statute expresses everything about Mr. Selmon. His love of playing football and his love of USF. There will never be another one like him.

Thanks for the idea Trip, makes sense.  Would make greater sense if there is overlap with USF Football.  #HockeyNoviceHere

Depends on when it is. Right now some catastrophic timing has me missing 3 Bulls home games, including the first and last one, so I won't be around here those weekends ...... but if i'm not here, the Bolts tix will be yours .... unless it's their season opener, which would just add to my depression.

Or take them to a USF basketball game as there will be a few games downtown this year.

Not sure but my understanding is that it is a done deal.

Don’t get that, unless maybe doing it when students are home at holiday times ....... or it has something to do with hosting the first round of the NCAA’s, although I don’t recall that in the past.
