Practice begins on Friday, Oct. 17, and the Bulls open the season with a pair of home exhibition games. The exhibition schedule is highlighted by an intra-city matchup with the University of Tampa on Monday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. Prior to facing Tampa, the Bulls kick off the 2008-09 season with an exhibition game against the University of West Florida on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m.

USF’s first regular season contest will come at home vs. SMU on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. The home schedule also includes visits from High Point (Nov. 25), Northeastern (Nov. 29), Niagara (Dec. 14) and Iona (Dec. 27).

The all-u-can-eat seats did not taste as good as they looked on TV...now , about that crowd behavior at the hoops games...

Can we get a standing/rowdy alumni section? or is this going to fall on deaf ears too?
