Okay, this subject is up again and wish to address it ... it´s my last full day down here in Rio and the Brahma Beer has been flowing steadily  8) I do not fault USF Marketing one bit ... we have put a good team on the field for a few year, we´re only 9 years old. We have good name teams coming in. The public, local college football fans and alums know of USF Football. They are just not deciding to come ... why? I am shocked by this after seeing nearly 50K screaming for our BULLS on 9-6-97 (sure there were a few KY Wesleyen fans) ... it seems that half were there for the novelty of it. I´ve given enough time for the alums of years past ... they are a disappointing goup of alums. PERIOD !!!  > I´ve given up on them ... sure USF hasn´t though. What we also need to do is concentrate on current students becoming BULLS attending games. So lets ´have some GREAT ideas to help build USF Fan Base ! Let´s not bash, but brainstorm for positive results ! I see lots of replies on stupid rumor posts, but today is a thread about the Original BULLS that went through the first 5 seasons ... where are the thoughts on these ... many seem to take it for granted. Go BULLS !!! P.S. Heading to the fridge for another Brahma!  8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only question is how do we get more students to the bowl games and to the games that don’t have a lot of meaning (Cinny and SU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope marketing takes this thread and some of its ideas seriously. Dale Mabry USF: We need to raise a few dozen USF banners along the highway near the stadium. The average person that drives through the highway doesn't associate the stadium one bit with USF. That needs to change. I don't think the Glazers have any say on what goes up on Dale Mabry.Fireworks A "Green and Gold" firework after every USF score.HOA: This might be kind of an ODD idea but it might be worth a shot. Encourage local Home Owners Assoc (HOAs) to organize community wide tailgates. Offer them free beads and other cheap items, along with a Rocky the Bull appearance for the kids.more to come.

Guest wooly Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 considering there has only been a true marketing department in Athletics for a few months I'd say it hasn't been that bad an is definitely going to continue to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
