"Thank you for coming to Tampa, I just hope we have a good game. Would you like to join our tailgate party? Oh, by the way I think you are a dumb couch burning hillbilly." Does not seem to flow very well Too bad they did not have these shirts when I was trying to do my best impersonation of a soccer hooligan ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reference to USF. They probably made the same shirt in a variety of colors so that the could be sold at any school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Beat WVU' is fine, but the 'hillbilly' crack is uncalled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want people to talk about what a great football team and fans we have. A person can be tough and nice at the same time. It's no federal crime, it is funny -- but at the expense of others. Not my kind of funny, I guess. But some people like to call the mothers of other team's players whores, so go figure. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shirt is not very conducive to representing class. The old saying goes, "It takes one to know one" and I am not one and woullnd't be caught dead in that shirt.

Some may say, "Lighten up", but c'mon, do we really even have to go in that direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
