I was just telling someone the other day about our odd USF connections on recent vacations. About a month ago we went on a trip to Hawaii. When we landed in Kona and were at the baggage claim, a guy wandered up to me because he saw my Bulls jacket and asked “What do you do at USF?” Turns out he was a professor in the music department. A couple days later, we were on a tour in a van and there was a family seated in front of us - Mom, Dad, sister and brother. The young man was a rising senior at USF. A couple years ago, on a trip to Ireland, we ran into USF alums on THREE separate occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid there is more of that than not. Heard somewhere that USF is setting a record this year of 6,600 students in dorms on campus this year. Maybe there's hope. I bet he's a Philly fan too ......

We spent 3 nights in Jasper, 3 in Mineral Bluff and 3 in Blairsville (where we ran into the Sheriff). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said how at FSU kids can walk 1/2 mile and be at the bars and restaurants and how USF will never have that. Made me depressed and wondered how an OCS will change that. Guessing he didn’t venture too far into campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your encounter with the USF grad but UF fan is par for the course. We will never reach those people...never...they just need to die off. There are a lot of them which is pretty sad. But it does come back to our current situation in terms of conference. Got to get wins and build the stadium to influence the current genration so this disease does not inflect them. It also goes back to the crucial error of not getting into the football business decades before we did ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to get up there when it starts to cool off and do the apple orchards and get some chicken and dumplings. Boiled peanuts. Oh yeah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
