[South_Florida_Flip]

Why aren't we playing in the last week of August?

Because that weekend is not Labor Day weekend.

Props to rizman's contact. I am surprised that this was done and for a 1 for 1.

uh where? is it that difficult to at least get their stadium name right?

This is probably the most exciting announcement that could possibly happen during the offseason.

I'm stoked for this. I grew up a Noles fan and will be at their house chanting against them.

If we win @FSU and vs Miami, it'll be epic. And, we can realistically pull out both.

Pretty exciting news.   Are we going to be ready ?  I wonder how many folks from the board will be there ?

[Woogie53]

I'll be there....in my season tickets

while my family (usf alums) sits in a luxury box.....

I'm stoked to finally have a true house divided game!!

Good luck finding a quality place to stay in tally though.

I have completely stopped working today and focused on this game! September 26th can't come soon enough! This should definitely help in recruiting as well! I will be there for sure!!!
