As I drive around Lakeland and Polk county I see alot of USF stuff on cars and when I go out I see hats and shirts everywere. It was not this big around here a year ago. I was walking thru the Lakeland Mall with Matt and I had on my USF shirt and hat and Matt had on a USF shirt and I bet you 10 or so people said " go Bulls". This was not the case a year ago!!! I am telling you the stands will be rocking this year!!! season ticket sales will be out of this world this year just wait and see!!!!!!!!!! Is it Sept. yet???

When I was in Tampa for the holidays, I was presently surprised to see a much stronger presence of USF in the area.  Everywhere I went, I saw USF hats, shorts, license plates, etc.  It has been trending upwards for years now, and it is great to see that continue.

Get us to the Gator Bowl or BCS Bowl and it will explode

Yes, indeed.  I see a lot more green and gold around Tampa these days.  I would love to be able to wear it at work, but alas I am not allowed to.  But, that doesn't stop me from wearing it any other time of the day.  No matter where I go when not working I am always wearing something that says USF or BULLS.

Glad that Matt is getting recognition in Lakeland as well as here in Tampa.  You raised a pretty remarkable young man.

GO BULLS!!!!

We should always have something to show we support USF.  It can be on your car, your clothes, a flag flying at your house etc. Never let anyone doubt who you are a BULLiever! Do not be undercover always be loud and proud! GO BULLS!

I would love to see the Gator Bowl next year if USF was in it.

There would be no excuses and we'd bring at least 10,000 people there.

BullsNation is definitely growing by leaps and bounds!!!  Some of my kids in my classroom got USF stuff for Christmas!  GO BULLS!

I think this had a lot to do with our UL win in 05.  After that I saw SOOOO many people with USF on.

I make sure that people know I'm proud of where I will be graduating from in May.  I got a USF tag, have a ton of stickers on the back of my car, and seem to always wear something USF.

I can't wait to get my season tickets this week!

This is somewhat related, during our family ski trip this year, we went out to Utah.  While in Salt Lake wearing a Bulls sweatshirt and hat a a guy approached me about the Bulls and their win over WVa.  The guy was a BYU fan but was impressed with USF.  I discussed the brief history of the program with him and for him to watch for the Bulls next season.  This encounter illustrates the Bulls growing national recognition along with an increasing local presence.
