Alumni v Friends

However, a lot of warm bodies passed through USF before '97, so it's not surprising that alumni donations are what they are. 

Not to trigger anyone, but I think getting the Alumni on campus many times per year is going to ramp up the nostalgia and donations.

I like this friend of USF teminology.  I attended for 2 years, and then transferred to Saint Leo.

That is Super Friend status for sure.

You could technically use alumnus, also .... maybe depends on the occasion and what you want to admit to.

I am more of an alumnus than a friend.  I had the misfortune of attending when everything was paper in registration/drop-add, scholarship, financial aid and days at a time were wasted standing in line watching the slowest people in the world move your paper around then tell you to get in another line.  I might need to take a class to get a taste of what kind of "friend" USF is today.

Depends  if we can get back to being ranked,besting top 25 teams, and get back in a power conference. In order to do all that we need to learn to win again .

Fairweather Friends?

Was thinking the same thing. If we were a consistent 7-5 team went bowling 70% of the time and was in the running for the Conference Championships every few years, we would be a VERY good program. I just want us competitive; regardless, USF is my school and always will be. I may get fed up with them at times, but I am not going anywhere. Only schools I will root for over USF are my kids schools and I have about 8 years before that starts happening.

I've been a friend since 1995!
