Sun Bowl fans want USF by large margin

Isn't it great when you can get blog ideas from your own blog comments? Thanks to "thebigcheeze" for pointing me to a great online poll at the Sun Bowl's official site, sunbowl.org, which asks visitors which Big East team they'd like to see in El Paso.

If the selection committee meeting as we speak is looking for another reason to pick the Bulls, how about public opinion: USF has 86.8 percent of more than 13,000 votes cast, well ahead of Cincinnati at 11.8 percent and largely-out-of-consideration Connecticut, which has a wishful 1.4 percent.

Can an online showing like this impact the committee's decision? It can't hurt things for the Bulls, and I imagine the results of this poll have come up at least as a curiosity in that committee meeting. The Sun Bowl expects the BCS to release the available teams at noon Tuesday and should be able to announce its choice shortly after.

That was one hell of a stampede.  Wonder how many of those votes are attributable to this site?

Probably a higher percentage than USF's actual % share in the poll itself...but that doesn't matter.  It's great that Greg put it in print for all those Google searching volunteer research assistants at the Sun Bowl.  He could have exposed our hi jinx.  Now, if he does, I'll be seeing him at our bowl game and pulling a Billy Jack. :)

I like how the bowl committee checked with their "computer guy" who assured them the voting was legit.

We should probably bury this thread before our opponents read it, but it still shows the fervor of the Bulls Fan.

Billy Jack .... Brut ..... You're definitely into your retro mode.... You need to break out that Nehru jacket for the trifecta.

Well... I know a certain someone on this board who prolly did about 1700 of them.

We just walked in the door to read the good news.  And I'm sure I didn't vote 1700 times.  But more than once. ;)

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
