Get out there and support a fellow Bull....anyone who would write a book and include a quote from me, a story from NormalBull and a reference to a party with mutt certainly knows how to entertain...

I've read it, it's a great book.

Who saw Hoop Dreams?  Great tie-in there I never knew about...and I am not talking about William Gates playing in the NIT against Chucky and our Bulls...Tony tells another great story about how lives cross, amazing.

Wish I could be there.  Really enjoyed the long phone conversations with TG as he was writing the book.  What memories.

I was there.  I bought the book and got Tony's autograph - obviously.

Tony gave a nice speech about his book and told some hints about what you would read in his book.  He also told us the motivation behind writing the book and a little about his childhood and why USF is so special to him.

I cannot wait to start reading the book.

Tony is a great guy and I was glad to meet him.

There were 4 of us that drove over from Pinellas. We bought our books and had them autographed.  Enjoyed the time with Tony a fellow BULL alumni.

I can't begin to tell you how much "USF Bull" love was evident last night at the book signing. Thanks are in order to all who attended, thought about it or may attend future signings...We really have a wonderful support community in place...

It is my hope that "A Raging Bull" might help tap into new territory by having some history documented...Bob, Fontana did not have the study lounge during your time:-) It was later on they decided to create a "study" environment for students...Thanks for all the posts and Doug Hatch you have to sign a copy for me.

Bulliever, thanks for believing..Go Bulls!

Done.  We'll trade autographed copies.  Call me.

    "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."
