Criticism Bandwagon: Poor Choice in University Name

[Jihme]

no one will care about our name if we simply win. don't waste money ripping out and redoing our branding - use that money to hire good assistant coaches who actually prepare us for the conference games.

I honestly thought at the time of the logo redesign (the iconic U) that we should have changed mascot and/or colors. Become the Pirates with red and black. Why not change the school name too? I wasn't for that, but at this point I don't think I would mind, but it's not that big an issue. But I am tired if people out here confusing us with UCiF. With them in the Big East, it will get worse before it gets better.

why not embrace what I first heard it referred to--- USF = University of Sun and Fun

[IncrediBULL]

USF, Un Savory Football... Oh, sorry, that just applies to Octobers and it is now Nov 1.

SCU - Suitcase City University

Seriously though, i could get behind something with Tampa Bay in the name.

And if Univ. of Tampa doesn't like it, we can just change their name to University of New Jersey Transplants.

University of Tampa Bay - immediate identity; heck the St Pete Times is changing to Tampa Bay Times
