HOT at FAU in 2007 ?

[E.T.]

I know it's early, but will HOT be there ?

Go BULLS !!!

That depends... how much did you donate?

lol... j/k... kinda...

That schedule won't be released until the summer before THAT season.  Due to budget issues and various other reasons... we never know where we can go.

My guess is yes... since it's in-state.  We have attended both in-state games that we have played (UM and UCF).  I don't see why we wouldn't.

There will be 2-3 factors...

1) Demand from USF fans for us to be there

2) Funding for the trip

3) Depends if the staff has already designated another game for our road trip

On a persoanl note (pardon the pun), I will be an alumnus after next semester and will do everything in my power to campaign to have HOT at as many games as possible.  The main issue is always $$$.

I will be there and if it is an afternoon game I will be HOT.....

[USF03]

In Florida... everyone's HOT.... you just arn't The HOT

What is the approximate cost to send HOT to a game both in state and out of state?  I would think a game like UNC or even Auburn could be a feasible bus ride for HOT, what does it run you guys?

[USF03]

In state bus ride to Miami with a single overnight: $100,000 approx

Obviously just a bus ride is cheaper, but you have to feed 250 people... and in the case of anything out of state... prolly house them too.

Billy or Eric could probably best answer this question....

If I remember correctly, last year's overnight stay in Miami for the USF vs. UM game cost approx. $35-45K.  I could be way off, but these numbers sound right.

But generally speaking, we are talking 35K for just and overnight bus trip in state.  Most likely tag an extra $10-20K for an out of state equiv. trip.

Our biggest budget need is the new uniforms which are approx. $150K.  HOT is growing at a rapid rate from year to year.  Not to mentiona lso that our uniform does not comply with the current branding scheme.

Any amount that is donated makes a significant contribution to meeting these goals.  And for that I persoanlly thank all that have and will donate to the Herd of Thunder.
