Never saw Lucas play a down for USF, but tailgated and held a couple bars up with him. I fun spirit!

I spoke of Joseph on the earlier post. A fine LB.

Kelly was a big back, think he was gonna do more for us.

Sanchez is the kind of player you want on your team and as you alumni.

The old timers will remember the writings @The Sheriff did on here about various road trips.  Extremely funny.  Terry is humorous and is a marvelous writer.  Many of his posts were in the board's hall of fame before football success occurred and our server was repeatedly battered - many posts were lost.  

I caught a TV recording of Terry on the field way back when and I think I sent him the cut.  There wasn't a lot of TV either.  I don't know what happened to that clip.

Anyway, he's up there with some legends on this board and more importantly people that truly are committed to the Green and Gold.

And I remember his battles in Gainesville with the DA.

Only real time I spent with him (a couple of hours or so) was after the Wisc game up there. Went to some place on the lake. Enjoyed talking with him.

[Ricky the Bull]

I think that most classic was when he and a group of fans were dressed in prison orange jumpsuits at a Cincy hoops away game after a member(s?) had been arrested.

So, funny story. Just walked back in the house after going to a Sherwin Williams store near me. Of course I have my USF stuff on. Guy behind the counter asks if I'm a Bulls fan. Said "of course".  Said he graduated from there. Asked him what year. He says '11. Told him my daughter graduated in 07. Started talking about the football team of '07. Talk comes around to the Rutgers game. Told him I was there. He said he was too - he played in it.  Richard Kelly. Asked him what number. He said '39'.  He changed to 43, his high school number, later on. Told him I had his jersey hanging on the wall in my Bulls room. He was really excited that someone had his jersey. Great guy. I could have stayed there all afternoon.  Should probably get him to sign it.
