Theyll be here saturday night. News Flash. Seriously. You are a directional School, living in the shadow of more prominent in-state universities (At least 3 of them) . We are a directional school, living in the shadow of more prominent in-state schools (At least 3 of them). The University of South Florida is not exactly nationally recognized either. Outside of old-school conference USA members and some big east fans, nobody knows where the heck you guys are either, especially since youre not in South Florida. I have family 2 hours south of tampa and have been there many times, and think its a wonderful city. But dont get ahead of yourselves. We are at least as well known as you are, probably moreso. I have seen a lot more East Carolina bumper stickers tee shirts and hats in Florida than I have see USF gear in NC. Thats not an insult. Its an honest truth. The little recognition athletically you guys have earned in the last ten years with a handful of big wins is matched, possibly overmatched with the tradition of Pirate Football that put this university on the map in the 90's. The good thing is, at least during football season, there are really only two in-state universities you have to worry about making any noise--Wake and App State.

I was simply saying that seriously, No one knows where the hell you guys are either. That may be true, but I'd bet my house that they know which STATE we're in!!!

Give me a break.........They are some of the best fans in the country and travel better than almost every other school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember most people wouldn't know USF is in Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until a few years ago, they had a bitter rivaly with West Dakota over who had the most cartographically obsolete name.Just kidding, ECU fans.... relax! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
