Embarassing Stat...

[Cow Pie]

Apparently UCiF has sold more State license plates then we have...

This is four year old data that pre-dates us joining the Big East, national rankings, etc.

I watch locally when I am on the roads, as I have always used this as a mark of our success.  The USF branding on vehicles is increasing, to the point that most days on I-275 I see more USF than even UF plates and stickers.  More importantly, I see it on more expensive vehicles.

As Dixie said, this is older data, but I will also say that is a growing school that is branding well.  We also lost support when Ft. Myers left the USF program to be Gulfcoast or whatever.

I have 2

FNBUL

FNBLL

I have 2 as well.  I think with UCiF being the largest school in the state it will be tough. 

I think about 3 or 4 years ago USF Alumni started the $25 refund and they really helped boost our numbers.

I see them much more common than when I started at USF in 02

There is more current data than that somewhere. Alumni Assoc did the big push to increase sales, and I believe said that we had well surpassed UCF and we're then trying to overtake FSU. I believe Greg Auman occassionaly updates the numbers too.

these are the most recent stats:

1 University of Florida               120,858

3 Florida State University           76,216

15 University of Miami                28,990

24 Florida A & M University         21,594

37 University of South Florida     16,636  

40 University of Central Florida    15,545

Looks like we are slowly moving up.  Doesn't look like we'll be catching UF or FSU in my lifetime.   Leaping over UM is a much more reasonable goal.

It's always great to see the USF tags on the road.

Every time I see a UCF license plate, I laugh at their pathetic symbol (and the fact that they went to Orlando Community College).  I bet they would sell way more plates if they changed from that stupid unicorn to the UCF symbol or even the gay Knightro schmuck.
