There should be a replay this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As late as last season, we had to have that 360 to watch the Pitt game. I remember driving around for hours just to listen to the Baylor game back in the day. Being on TV is like a big advertisement for the USf (espcecially if we win). I'm for all games being on TV all the time. It may impact a handful of people who opt to stay home and watch-- HOWEVER-- it is great to have that option available if something comes up unexpectedly. Also-- some folks have trouble getting out to the games (physically challenged) while others don't even know about USF. All it takes is one thrilling home game to make the casual interest build up enough to try out a game itself. That's one way you build a fan base. Word of mouth from USF fans is another. I always try to get some new people to check out a game-- even if we aren't their favorite team-- because if you like football, USF is a great bargain to watch a game.
