1) Is it okay to stay home and watch a game on TV when you could have made arrangements to go?

Of course...that's why it's called discretionary funds. Otherwise I'd have season tickets to every sport played at USF.

2) Is it okay to walk out of a USF sporting event 15 or more minutes before it's over (when you could have stayed)?

Again, of course. How many basketball games have I gone to where USF was getting waxed and had no chance of winning. How many times have I left baseball games because it was in the bag and it's hot as hell out there. I could have stayed...I chose not to.

3) Is it okay to own and or don other college team's parafanalia when you're a Bulls fan?

I would assume so, though I generally don't wear it out. I've got some UNC, NCSU, Duke stuff for lounging about the house. In public though, full Bull regalia.

4) Is it okay to still be a FSU, UF, or Miami fan while being a Bulls fan?

I have been, and will always be a Duke/UNC/Wake Forest/UNCC fan in basketball, though I am a fan of USF overall. As for FSU, UF and Miami...given that we are more inclined to have a playing relationship with them over time, I would say no.

5) Is it okay to berate the Bulls' coaches, players, and USF personnel on a message board?

Yes! And here's why. There's no entrance exam, so every double-digit IQ having inbred with access to a keyboard can hop on here and op-ed until their heart's content.  There seems to be no great outcry when berating opponents, so there must not be a double standard. However, a lack of creativity and continued harping on the same theme over and over and over and over does not make your point.  Think about some guy who tells the same joke over and over. It was funny the first time, but after a while, you can't bring yourself to even smile, let along laugh. Same thing here...whining and crying is allowed, but don't expect me to hand you a hanky.

6) Is it okay to consistently be negative about USF athletics and still be a Bulls fan?

Nope...scientifically impossible. Your posts speak for you.

7) Do you feel USF athletics, including coaches, players and staff, owe you something, like maybe the "truth" about such and such?

Nope...they run their business. They don't have an obligation to say or do anything other than what they feel the need to do.

1.Ok but i won't do it

2. NO  It shows a total lack of respect for the kids who have put their hard work in.  Not many people walk out of a play or your kids concert.  If they where your kids down there how would you feel ?

3. Ok if done with  taste and not tryingso show up USF.  I don't do this either but I will wear my USF stuff to a BUCs game.

4. Sure its ok and if  I'm up in NY or CA I will bragg about USF and how strong football is in Florida.

5. Define berate ?  If they did something really stupid I guess you can take your shots but I for one don't care much for Monday morning quarterbacking.  If they do the same thing wrong over and over again I think you can fire away but try to do it with class and at least some facts.

6. Enjoy the journey.  If you always,year after year complain I feel sorry for you.

7. "YOU CANNT HANDLE THE TRUTH".  Great movie  -  No way can coaches always give you  all the facts.  Not fare to the players and they may be wrong because they may not always have all the "facts".  What do they owe you ? i don't know and who really does.  No good answer for that.

1) Is it okay to stay home and watch a game on TV when you could have made arrangements to go?  

Only if you live outside of Florida.  Not everybody has the money and time available from work to make it all the time.  If you live in town and can go, its best to go.  Besides, if you find a way to sneak food or drinks into rayjay, there's a distinct feeling of being happy about sticking the gla$ers.  Also, if you get caught, you can slam that turkey sandwich, beer, or soda right there in front of the people who checked.  Win-win.

2) Is it okay to walk out of a USF sporting event 15 or more minutes before it's over (when you could have stayed)?  The only time I did this is when my grandfather was too old and we didnt want him getting caught up in the crowd with a long ass walk.  Otherwise, no.  If the team walks off, the fans can...that's about it.

3) Is it okay to own and or don other college team's parafanalia when you're a Bulls fan?  

No, with the notable exception of doing it for the express purpose of pissing someone off (ex: wearing UCF or UF's next opponents shirt around members of your family or friends that are fans of those awful sporting teams)

Another exception is when you are given the shirt as a gift.  In this case, doing things like wearing it inside out, marking it up, using it as a rag, or using it as material for your next school project are all acceptable uses of other schools' items.  Also, it can be used for the aforementioned purpose of pissing off other people, if you are lucky enough to have such a coincidental advantage.

4) Is it okay to still be a FSU, UF, or Miami fan while being a Bulls fan?

Not ahead of USF.  If you want them to beat up on UNC, penn state, or FAMU that's fine.  As long as USF is first.

5) Is it okay to berate the Bulls' coaches, players, and USF personnel on a message board?  

Coaches and personnel that are detrimental to the overall development and progress of the players can be.  Players should never be targets of slander, although opinions of who should be the starter do not berate players so long as it is kept civil and explained in such a manner.

6) Is it okay to consistently be negative about USF athletics and still be a Bulls fan?

No, but anyone who does this is still better than any non usf fan.  It's a tier system.

7) Do you feel USF athletics, including coaches, players and staff, owe you something, like maybe the "truth" about such and such?  

What is this?  YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUF!  Coaches ARE staff btw, and they owe fans their best effort, but nothing else I can think of off hand.  Players owe themselves their best effort.  After all, the NFL pays quite well.

Is it ok to have a USF logo in your Engagement Photos?

Is it ok to have your wedding on the same day as the Syracuse game?

Is it ok to sponsor an ATC football locker in his and her name? Knowing that once you are married, you will probably sponsor another one with the new Mr. and Mrs. name?

Is it ok to have a coaches signed football, new logo helmet signed by Andre, a retro logo helmet, a original 1997 pennant and two other ones in your work office?

Is it ok to have bought my best man a game worn jersey as a wedding gift?

Is it ok to have bought myself a game worn jersey as a wedding gift?

Is it ok to have Bull license tags on all three cars?

Is it ok to have a the first football game program signed by CJL and LRS HOF 95?

Is it ok to give time to both Bulls Club and the Alumni Association?

Is it ok to do all these things and live in Orlando???

Damm straight it is!

1) Is it okay to stay home and watch a game on TV when you could have made arrangements to go?

Yes. Sometimes life gets in the way of that silly sports thing...(just dont make it a habit, ok?)

2) Is it okay to walk out of a USF sporting event 15 or more minutes before it's over (when you could have stayed)?

3) Is it okay to own and or don other college team's parafanalia when you're a Bulls fan?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

If so, then you're not really a Bulls fan, ARE YOU?

PICK ONE!

5) Is it okay to berate the Bulls' coaches, players, and USF personnel on a message board?

If warranted, absolutely. If they choose to be public figures, they also choose to face criticism.

6) Is it okay to consistently be negative about USF athletics and still be a Bulls fan?

If USF athletics is doing things that warrant negative behavior, then absolutely.

7) Do you feel USF athletics, including coaches, players and staff, owe you something, like maybe the "truth" about such and such?

Depends on the subject.
