How can students watch away games?

[WoolyBully]

Well, it's a case of not having any reason to transit Boy Scout. It's odd to look back on how amped up we were in the way-back-when. I remember often thinking, we need to be there early to get a table (Capogna's, Beef O'Bradys). Now? I don't know if @mutt still drives Capogna's venue or not.

Having been out of the loop for a time, have all of the watch parties for USF disappeared? Capogna's? Selmon's? I know they're not proximity close to USF, but an option perhaps. 

Walk Ons in Wesley Chapel I believe hosted the Pasco Alumni watch parties last season. @BDYZR may be able to confirm.

Edit: Sorry. Posted the reply without going to the next page again.

Did you hear anything about the Polk Alumni Association making a comeback?

I got an email the other day about a Polk Alumni virtual meeting on September 13. POC is Omar M. Nevarez Ramos, onevarez@usf.edu

Irish 31?

Looks like FAC logo and Irish 31 was or is owned by a former USF football player (and has hosted before).  Would make sense.

The Irish 31 in the Westshore Plaza mall closed down and a Mexican restaurant is in its place.   There is an Irish 31 in Hyde Park and one in Westchase, plus others in the surrounding area.

There's one in Wiregrass Mall in WC. Have only been there once but remember it being pretty good.

Sadly, Selmon's is no more.  Used to love to watch there and at Capogna's when I lived in Pinellas.  Now I have to go to my basement theater or south Charlotte if I want to hobnob with other longsuffering Bulls fans.

Selmon's has been closed for 5 years .....

Selmon's started to rapidly decline at the end when either management changed or someone else took over the business.   It has been a while so I do not remember the details.   The food quality started to decline, and the bar area was kind of dirty.   There is nothing more annoying than fruit flies buzzing around while you are trying to eat and drink.  It is not that hard to prevent them.  Keep the place clean and do not let fruit sit out and rot.   The service at the bar also declined too where the bartenders would barely acknowledge your existence.   I do not mind exercise, but I do not want to do jumping jacks just so the bartender knows I want another beer.   You got better service if you could get a table since the waiters and waitresses were always attentive.   There were a few times USF got booted out of the main room for other schools; probably because they had larger regular crowds and we only showed up for away games.

I hope this new place shows us some respect; however, I am not enthusiastic about paying for parking downtown.

Is that a polite way of saying FSU? 'Cause I'm pretty sure that was one of our instances.

I was thinking of the one time it was a Viginia school.   UVA or VT; I do not remember.  Now that you mention it there was an instance where we got booted for FSU.

At the block party, they announced the "official" Tampa watch party for WKU will be at the District Tavern at Channelside/Water Street.

Lol I live right across the street from District Tavern.
