This topic is a hoot! 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.

That guy is part of the problem. "Couldn't shake the Gator thing" is stupid. Be proud of where you went to college. If he can embrace his daughter's college choice, why could he never embrace his own?

Interesting what's important to some parents.😎

I don't know if I buy that premise though...  It can definitely change.  I think we finally have the leaders on site that realize we can build our own brand and culture.  Maybe it's different than FSU

Moreso about the fact the guy is a USF grad and didn't consider becoming a USF fan. 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 ......

on a recent visit to USF campus how it still feels like a commuter school.  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.

Don't know if it was with his daughter??? Conversation didn't last long enough to find out when.

Love hearing about the T&F shirt. 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 .....

I love Jasper.  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...

    "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."
