The students act like we are new comers to going to games and being a bulls fan. It seems to me that the students are the first ones not to show if its spring break or Gasparilla or anything else they can think of not to support their school. While we sit through the **** games home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more current students to attend games... and get more pride in the university they attend. C'mon... 38,000 TAMPA CAMPUS alone... 43,000+ overall. All of that... and we are crazy happy when 5,000 people attend games. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!****, I'm in band, so I have to go to a selected amount of games... but I've been to all the home games (minus 3 due to classes).Advertising for the games must be better. I know it will take more than some posters or paper cards to get people to go crazy of our team (maybe a win would help), but at least more people will know about it. I've seen some effort from Athletics, for the 'Nova game... but thats it. It needs to get better.If anyone else has any ideas... let me know. I work for SG and then I'm going to go talk to Kosha Irby in Athletics. Attendance blows, we need to do something to help our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First we complain about people not showing up. Then we complain about people showing up. Next we will be complaining that not enough people have USF tatoos. The alums at the same game have been their the whole year and are burned out. If you sat through BCC you know what I mean. Also, student should always be 10x crazier than alums. Besides the point, the alums I was by were very into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lurky_Lurkington Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up already, but a big portion of the crowd that WAS standing during the last two minutes DOES blow...because where they were standing was on the concourse between the seating areas and the lobbies so they could be that much closer to getting in their cars if/when something went wrong (it did and they did). Either support your team or leave but hedging your bets by keeping an eye on the game with one foot out the door and your car keys in your hand doesn't cut it.

Guest BullsFans Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The whole idea of standing gets way too much attention...only from students. I am a 42 year old Alum....support USF athletics to the point that I have one of those very good seats. I will add that is sacrificial giving to help the Alma Mater that I love. Just doing my small part....If you think that the fans standing up would have made us make the three pointer at the end of the game then you're partially insane. Furthermore, if you think you are a "better fan" than I am because you stand, you're an idiot. I have NEVER missed a home football game, traveled to at least 2 away games each year, drove to see USF play Stetson in Deland several times and at UCF everytime we've played there. I've had basketball season tix since I was enrolled at USF. And...back in the day, it wasn't a freebie like it is today. So...don't equate standing up and getting in the way of people just as interested in the game as you are to a lack of interest or enthusiasm. At some point in your life, you probably just become a little more concerned about allowing those who choose to sit, or have to sit, the courtesy to enjoy the game and not be an a-hole and stand in their way.Our crowd was extremely enthusiastic, as was I, and should not be bashed for their "performance". You want to pick a bone....try the other 38,000 student who have stayed away from every athletic performance in their time at USF.AMEN! It's like some redshirt freshman telling Andre Hall how to run the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
