Q: How has USF football influenced you as a fan?

[E.T.]

... USF football has had a huge impact on me ...

More than I could have ever imagined for myself. This football program is a top priority in my life. And Thank GOD my wife supports it  8-)

as a proud USF grad, i'd support the bulls in underwater-basket weaving if i could.  yes, i have season tix to football, but i never shy away from the opportunity to boast about the university (or athletics) as a whole

football was where it began for me, when i was younger in middle and high school i would watch the bulls on TV and always root for them because they were a tampa school, when i chose to go to USF, I quickly fell in love and began to realize that we had potential to become one of the best teams in the nation in a very short period of time.

as a result, i now follow all USF athletics...basketball, baseball/softball, soccer, ect...and spend lots of money on bulls gear, and pretty much make sure i am always wearing something USF.

USF football is definitely what drew me in, for two main reasons: Football is my favorite sport (and college football most of all) and having already graduated from one institution, I already had a team in all of the other major college sports. USF football definitely drew me in to USF Athletics and to some degree, the University as a whole.

Before college I used to go to the USF library and play basketball on campus.  I used to go to the basketball games while in undergrad.  Graduated before the football team began playing (Spring 96).  The more I follow the football team, the more excited I become about USF in all sports and in general.

I started following USF because my dad went there.  Until this year i didnt care much about any other sport except football.  Still my main USF sport i do sometimes follow wbb and mbb but this year i am also a bigger USF fan.

I may have, maybe, attended a few basketball games while a student at USF.

I went to a few more once I graduated, same with a few baseball games.

However, it was, and continues to be, football that drives my interest in USF.

So far, I've only missed one home game (a win over SoMiss) and usually hit

one away game per year.

And, I can honestly say that a lot of that has to do with the way the football

program is run. Had we stayed in IAA any longer, or if we only occassionally

won a game (e.g a persistent <.500 set of seasons) I doubt I'd be this

enthusiastic.

My son did his BA & MA at USF.  That is how I am related to USF.  When my son was attending USF there was no football at all.  My son's enthusiasm for the school moved me to follow the school's activities.  The football program coming into being solidified that.

GO BULLS!!!!
