Tampa Identity?

[Chucker]

Is it just me, or do the Bulls and Bucs share an identity?  Is it a Tampa thing?  I cannot think of a more frustrating weekend of football.  Hopefully they both can recover from these losses, but the underlying them is "what could've been...."

[___ Eats It]

They sure do.  They also share the same bandwagon fans who only bother to consider showing up if the playoffs or a bowl bid is on the line.  Sad, really.

I did not attend college in Florida but I have lived in Tampa Bay since 1987. I have been a season ticket holder since the 2nd year and have added 5 more that are season ticket holders too.

I can't tell you how many times I have been asked "why do you go to USF games if you didn't go to school there?" My response is that this my local college team and I love the area I live in and will always be a supporter (WIN OR LOSE!).

You see the same thing here with pro sports with the Green Bay fans, Philly etc which hurt in the long run for our community.

I still keep up with my other teams but I am now a USF BULL and I encourage others to become fans as well.

Maybe if the Dolphins could sell out a home game, that remark would have some legitmacy to it.

How about the Lightning being # 2 in the NHL in attendance?  How about the Bucs having a 100K person waiting list for season tickets?

The Rays will be fine in a few years too now that we have competent ownership in place.
