Dear Mayor Iorio:

As a graduate of the University of South Florida yourself, I'm sure you're well aware of the remarkable ascent of the Bulls football program, highlighted this year by a landmark win over a storied Auburn team. The buzz now surrounding the Bulls in the Tampa Bay community is undeniable, and there has never been a better time to support this program.

With that in mind, on Friday the 28th of September, Tampa Bay and the University of South Florida will be the focus of the College Football world, as ESPN will be visiting us to televise what may turn out to be a match-up of two nationally-ranked teams. As is par for the course in ESPN broadcasts, there will be a number of lead-in and lead-out shots that feature the Bay area and our community. How wonderful it would be to make a strong showing of support for our Bulls by illuminating the top of the SunTrust building in Bulls green, or by projecting the "Iconic U" logo of the team up on the side of the Sykes building!

With the team making huge strides nationally, I respectfully urge your office to use whatever influence it has to show the nation that the Tampa Bay area is firmly in support of the Bulls, and that this is now and will continue to be BULLS COUNTRY!

GO BULLS!

Sincerely,

Matthew McDonough
