Anybody know why there hasn't been any news/discussion coming from Spring practice lately?

Practices are closed to the public and USF hasn't released anymore updates.

With the new spring schedule, it's just not as fast and furious in the news department.

And yeah, we don't have much info, unless it comes from USF.  Now if we can sign up a volunteer journalist/reporter, we could have some info.  I'm hoping we'll have a photographer at the scrimmage tomorrow (waiting to hear).  Should we come up with a volunteer to report on the Bulls (as we have had in the past), I'd be happy to arrange and provide the platform.

I forgot to add (we have so many new members) we are a FREE site - always will be (and have been for 9 years). 

As a free site with very limited advertising allowed, we rely mostly on the work of volunteers to run the technology side of the board as well as the content side.  We have a few that volunteer their services such as MikeG and the Matt(s) for content;  Velcro, Neil and Jim for tech; and others for various duties such as moderating.  And of course the members that come here daily to contribute their thoughts and commentary.

Should anyone want to help fuel this fan effort for fans, please let me know.  We are always ready to welcome volunteer content contributors.

It could also be that many fans are tired of having legitimate threads hijacked by smazza and the usual suspects.

So do we get like a "Press Pass" from Bullspen.com that lets you get into the practice ?  I might be able to get over there and even do a little one on one with Jimmy.  He actually will talk to me but if I became "Press" he might just kick my ass.

this doesnt help spread interest or the word

a publice university shouldnt allow closed practices

there's a scrimmage today, so we'll have an update on that, and i'm sure usf will as well.

there really hasn't been a lot of discussion here off spring football when there has been news posted, so i wouldn't necessarily put it on a lack of news coming out of spring. like i said, we'll have something off the scrimmage today.

i'm not sure what being a public or private school has to do with whether spring practice is public or private.

Thanks Greg . . . I see the official site has a good review of the scrimmage.  Not sure if it was "closed", as there were reported to be 250 spectators in attendance.  Reading between the lines, seems the O-line needs to get better at run blocking.  And Delbert had one of those days . . .  I'm getting pumped for the Fall.  GOOOOOOO BUUUUULLLLS!

    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.
