TAMPA, Fla. (December 3, 2006)  Ã¢â‚¬â€œ The University of South Florida accepted an invitation to meet East Carolina in the Inaugural Papajohns.com Bowl, USF Director of Athletics Doug Woolard announced today. USF (8-4) represents the BIG EAST Conference, while East Carolina (7-5) represents Conference USA.

The Papajohns.com Bowl, an ESPN Regional Television owned-and-operated event, will be played Dec. 23 at Birmingham’s Legion Field and will be televised by ESPN2 at 12 noon CT.

Mark Meadows, executive director of the Papajohns.com Bowl said, "We are thrilled the University of South Florida has accepted our invitation to represent the BIG EAST Conference in the inaugural Papajohns.com Bowl. We are pleased to have such a great match-up for the return of post-season football to Birmingham. I look forward to welcoming Bulls fans to the ‘Football Capital of the South.’"

USF head coach Jim Leavitt added, “We’re honored to play in the first-ever Papajohns.com Bowl in Birmingham. Our entire team and all of our fans are going to embrace the opportunity, and we're honored to receive this invitation. This will be a heck of a game and we'll have to play our very best to have a shot at beating East Carolina.â€Â

“The BIG EAST is proud to be part of a new and exciting bowl game in Birmingham,†said BIG EAST Commissioner Michael Tranghese. “The Papajohns.com Bowl is getting a tremendous team in USF. The Bulls are making their second straight bowl trip and we know their fans are really excited. Coach Jim Leavitt’s teams have proven time and time again their ability to beat high-profile opponents and they will bring a great deal to the competition.â€Â

Fans who wish to purchase travel packages, luncheon and tailgate tickets may find information on the options at www.GoUSFBulls.com, but must purchase the packages by calling 1-800-GoBulls beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, December 4.

USF Athletics has purchased 500 tickets from its allotment for the game and will make them available to the first 500 USF students through a plan adopted by USF Student Affairs.

Randy, are you all getting a bus up for this?  If it leaves immediately after the game, I can go.  Otherwise, seeing my grandson trumps the game!

Then you can just shut the f up and go away, cause your idiocy isn't really necessary.
