Rumor is that they are not doing well. I know that we have all had our share of bad experiences at the Bull Ring, but it is hard to staff good employees when there is no revenue to pay them because of low sales. Fact is, they have really good food and could use some help on the service. We need to support the only TRUE place set up for us Bulls fans. Zimbo pays big dollars to support the Bulls by advertising and decorating for US!!!!!! The coaches and players are always there, and we are not. In anyother city/college town, fans would love to have a place that they could call their own. Fans would love to have a place where they could socialize and even have a beer with player, coaches and administration.Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should be right ACROSS campus. Somehow.I think that they are just too "far" from USF.JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clubhouse is a HUGE supporter of USF. And from my understanding was the host of some of the earliest watch parties for football(not sure on that though). And I've seen coaches at the Clubhouse before. Sorry, just wanted to point that out, there is enough of a population to support both places.

It was a HOPS when I was in school and the closest place I always went to was the Copper Top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, they aren't kicking any money in that direction. I agree that the Greenery, Coppertop(?) and closer places are good college hangouts, but I'm talking strictly USF SPORTS!!!!!!! Give me a better supporter. Give me someone who gives back...LITERALLY $$$.It seems that we always make excuses to go to other places for whatever reason. Clubhouse, Greenery, Peabody's and etc. can't compare with the quality of food or the support level towards the Bulls. Sorry, but no excuses. I'm from Blacksburg, VA originally and the fan's there ONLY support places that $$upport the Hokies. You give, you take, you ultimately recieve. We need all of the donor money we can get. No excuses.

That is just not a good part of town, especially once the sun goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People arent going to hand money to a restauraunt thats been open about a year just because it has Bulls in the name if the service is horrible etc. To be fair, there have been people that have said that the owner is responsive and listens to people's complaints.
