I know the men's team is excited for their trip to Mobile. One of my students plays for the team, and I filled him in on some fun things around town -- I fell in love with that city when I was there for the GMAC bowl.

Plus I'm now dating the daughter of USF alums, one of whom played golf here, so I have incentive to root even further.
