USF Bowl Debut: a Fan, Student and Alumni Success

[Merrell_Dickey]

Dittos to Eric Soncrant.  What a tremendous showing by USF fans, students and alumni who traveled to Charlotte.  Although we did not win on the field, the message that we sent to Charlotte is that USF has outstanding class and spirit!!! We had great teamwork on the part of USF staff at all of the events.  Even the bowl president recognized our terrific participation at the pep rally!  Hats off to USF alumni, students, fans and staff!!!

Our fans always diplay great amounts of spirit at away games, as we did in charlotte.  For those whose trip to charlotte was their first road game, you probably noticed a different feeling and atmosphere at the game, one of more spirit, comraderie, and intensity among the fans, with all the cheers, the usf fans being louder and more into the game, etc.  Well that is how most road games are, but with fewer people.  We need to build on this and bring more fans to both away games next year and our bowl game in jax next year.    Once you go to an away game, you catch the bug, and want to travel more often on the road.  I love road games, and try to go on 2 a year.  This was my 3rd this year.  For those who havent been to an away game, including the bowl game, start saving the money and start clearing the calender, as you are truely missing out on something completely different then a home game.  UCF next year might give you a small taste of the road game experience, although I have a feeling even though there will be a lot of fans at the game, it wont be the same as a true road game/weekend experience.

No disrespect here, but USF basically sold just over 3,500 tickets and from what I have read, the bowl officials were not happy with that at all.

No disrespect here but:

1. Your numbers are wrong

2. If anyone has their nose out of joint, it should be

   NCSU for not supplying 40K fans since Raleigh to

  Charlotte is a f*ing day trip.

You're neither a fan, doubt you're a student and certainly not an alumni, so do us all two really huge favors.

1. Keep your unsolicited, ill informed opinion to yourself.

2. Restrict your posting to the Knight board.

No disrespect, sweetie.  :
