Time . . . and wins !

Beating Auburn and winning the Big East WILL help.

That's what they said when we moved from C-USA to the Big East :(

USF will gain the typical Tampa Bay Bandwagoners very soon, possibly this year.

The REAL key is the 13-18 yr olds around the area. USF needs to market to that age group. Those kids are the future of the program, and I dont mean on the field.

Tickets should be offered at a discounted (or free) rate for high school students.

Everything helps, but realistically how many 13-18 year olds are going to buy season tickets in the next 3 to five years?

Getting them to go to at least one game would really help

Free tickets don't create ticket sales...just people looking for more freebies.

USF students get in at no charge....how many graduates buy season tickets the year after they graduate?

Then maybe give free tickets to the Elon game, where I'm sure there will be open seats that could be given to high school students.

yea i agree with ctbrown24....

we should advertise to high school students...

even if we do it for one game, it will help us increase our attendance and also eventual growth in tix...

Just what you need groups of unsupervised high school kids in the stadium  free of charge.  I think there are more negatives to that than  there are positives.

How do you think the paying ticket holders would feel about that?

3-5? zero.

5-10? a lot.

The more USF tshirts and jerseys in the middle and high schools, the better. What I'm saying is that they are the future. They are the ones that's going to turn us into "The Big 4".

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    Michael Kelly
