I live in this area (Sarasota/Bradenton) the local media are pretty good about supporting/reporting USF athletics. They definately know of us. What's with the Dec. 9th date?

This type of mistake could be made by a newspaper out west, however, for a local paper to make this type of mistake is moronic.

It's getting pretty old. We wonder why the public doesn't embrace the team - well I have an idea why some of the newspaper-reading public might just think we're a joke outfit.
