If you don't have an interest in attending games - you're certainly not going to be swayed by the opportunity to drive over to Fowler Ave on a weekday and watch some guys run drills and sprints. Seriously, unless you're really into USF football...watching a practice is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
