These Bulls Are Hoping The Party Is Just Starting

TAMPA -- No Tasers, Please!

Someone in the north end zone held up that homemade sign Saturday afternoon as the University of South Florida Bulls finished putting the clamps on Cincinnati, 31-16.

No need for concern. The field's perimeter was lined by police and security officials. No one dared jump on the turf. No one made a bee-line for the goal posts.

Besides, it wouldn't have been appropriate. Even USF coach Jim Leavitt was uncomfortable with being drenched by a bucket of blue Powerade. Yes, the Bulls had their sixth victory. But it wasn't a championship.

Want Bowl, Will Travel.

Again, the sign-holder shouldn't worry. The Bulls are bowl eligible and with their Big East Conference affiliation, they will undoubtedly be heading somewhere.

We Want Sugar!

Ah, yes. A real sign of the times at USF.

The Sugar Bowl. It is one step closer.

We've all seen the photographs of college football players, clutching a rose between their teeth. Or fans tossing oranges onto the field. Or jubilant supporters shaking sugar packets.

It's your turn, USF. The bowl dream has essentially become real. At worst, the Bulls should be bound for the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. What's the protocol there? Tossing a muffler on the field?

The protocol, according to Leavitt, is getting ready for Saturday's game at Connecticut.

"We're not in a bowl game yet," Leavitt said. "We have a winning season, that's all. I told our guys if all they want is a winning season and going to a bowl game, they're in the wrong program."

The Head Skunk

By now, the nation has caught on to USF's story line. If the Bulls defeat UConn in what could be frigid conditions, then beat West Virginia on Dec. 3 at home, they are Big East champions.

They likely would go to the Sugar Bowl.

No way to stop it.

Although, frankly, few outside of Tampa have embraced this warm-and-fuzzy story. Skunk in the BCS garden. That's what an ESPN.com story called the Bulls.

"We're going to ride that theme out until we can't ride it anymore," USF running back Andre Hall said.

Leavitt donned a black skunk cap -- with a USF logo -- to Tuesday's team meeting and referred to himself as "head skunk." He has received a few stuffed skunks from friends, including one he affectionately nicknamed "Pepe Le Pew."

Saturday afternoon, USF receiver Amarri Jackson emerged from the locker room -- wearing Leavitt's black skunk cap.

"I wear it everywhere," Jackson said with a smile. "Black goes with everything."

Focusing On UConn

Skunks of the Big East.

"We're stinking it up," Jackson said. "It's an insult, but we feed off it."

Rutgers took a different approach. When it became bowl eligible on Oct. 29, its fans rushed the field. Its players celebrated into the night.

Rutgers hasn't won since.

"We can't party yet," USF safety Johnnie Jones said. "That's only six [wins]. We want to decide the Big East championship right here at Raymond James. We couldn't do that without beating Cincinnati. We can't do it without beating UConn. Celebrate? No, sir. Not us. Not yet."

But suddenly, you can see West Virginia from here.

Almost heaven.
