When the Orlando Bulls fans drive over for the UCF @ USF game, I am sure we will receive various hand gestures from other folks on I-4.When we have a good recruiting class, season tickets sales will climb next year. If we beat Auburn and UCF, the Orlando Sentinel will start providing adequate USF coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we one our first game against a top ten opponent, this year we won a big game on the road aginst a top ten opponent. Next year the Auburn win will get the SEC monkey off our back......... It's all about progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
