CJ is going to number #1 in the hearts of BULLS FANS after all he was the first

[JoeB]

Charlie was the first Bull to ever touch the ball in a real football game.  He fielded the opening kickoff against Kentucky Wesleyan of the opening game. 

sorry for the double post, but this had to be said twice!!

go Bulls!

I have to say, Brad and ET ... you guys did a great job with this... it was a great way to spend the last 100 days...

and a chance to reminisce about some of our previous players.

I have fond memories of Charlie Jackson running sideline to sideline on his punt/kickoff returns drawing illegal block in the back penalties left and right...

Hey JoeB the USF media guide says that USF's first ever play was on defense.  I think USF kicked off to Kentucky Wesleyan.  Maybe Charlie returned or fair caught the first punt?

Doesn't the 10 year DVD say that we didn't have a kicking tee, but it wasn't an immediate issue because Ky. Wesleyan was kicking off to us first?

It's a shame C.J Lewis couldnt get more playing time.  He could run like hell but couldn't catch the **** ball.  He looked like he would get some PT in 03 but was hampered by a foot injury.

Charlie Jackson - the kids made signs RUN Charlie Run and we had them for every game.

In the early days, Charlie Jackson was my toddler's (first son's) favorite player...and The Sheriff was nice enough to get a Charlie Jackson autograph for him.  Charlie Jackson WAS Bulls Football for all my son knew...
