I mean they are not really Brahman? and well help me out here. They're standard common place bulls. We dropped the Brahman for a reason, they are dopey looking and not very aggressive. The Bulls are more fierce. Yes, we should remember our history, but I have no problems with the new bulls being used. Which of these is your "standard common place bull"? - Angus - Hereford - Florida Cracker - Simmental - Brahman - Charolais - Limousin - Gelbvieh - Red Angus - Beefmaster - Brangus - Maine Anjou - Chianina Fierce Brahman Bulls http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=brahman+bull+jpgs+free&qpvt=brahman+bull+jpgs+free&FORM=IGRE Edited August 16, 2012 by mviusa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the "smoke" at the entrance, we're not um. 2. Stop the firing of the "cannons", we're not the Bucs. 3. Stop the "running with the Bulls thing", as much as ET likes to call us Tamplona, we're not. 4. Stop trying to "force" a tradition, when they start they start. JMVHO You missed one: 5. Shut that guy up at the begining when the band is play... "Oooooh that's hot" Lord I hope that's been fixed this year... he's downright embarrassing as a representative of USF. I've asked about the running of the bulls thing.... too may people in high places like it... plus SBC likes it and now that they've pretty much officially eliminated the original Brahma Bull in favor of a more spanish type bull I doubt it's going anywhere. Common sense and school history be damned.... Since I was on the inside of the last live mascot deal from the perspective of the rancher, the live bull and the running of bulls thing are tied together. My rancher pal told me that a certain big money donor / sponsor is throwing a lot of money around to turn USF's mascot into a Spanish Bull. Thus why the University keeps doing the running of the Bulls even though people don't like it... the Building Traditions poll showed that people don't like it... also explains why we won't have a live Bull. My rancher pal who also owns a number of Beef's around the area said that the issue is not RayJay, the TSA, or the Buc's but is this donor and few people in athletics that pander to this group. Apparently this donor, not RayJay, does not want to see a live Bull in any shape or form. This donor does not want to see a live Bull because the live bull would be a Brahma and not a spanish bull which does not exist in Florida, and would ruin the plans of this donor. Now all of this is hearsay but my buddy is no slouch and have no reason to doubt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bulls in front of the Marshall center are Hereford, which is an English Bull The artist the University contracted out to build these statues was British... this is what happens when you hire people to make USF school spirit decisions that did not get their undergrad at USF.

They're not Hereford Bulls. Look at these pictures: https://www.google.com/search?q=hereford+bull&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=URV&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=dEwsUOimHKraygGohoGADA&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=612 Then compare to this: It has nothing to do with where the artist was from. You look at those statues, the one on the 2nd floor of the Marshall Center, and the one inside the Athletics lobby, and they are all similar to the Spanish Bull (I shouldn't have said common bull earlier).

I think we should be able to do Tampa Bay as well.... USF represents Tampa Bay as the main college in this region.... jmo No. Green and Gold should do fine. That would be like Southern Cal chanting Los - Angeles or LSU chanting Baton-Rouge Works for Bucs games, and I can't see how that would be exclusive to the Bucs They are the "Tampa Bay" Buccaneers. That's why that chant works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as others have said, butts in seats for the pregame and staying til the end. Many of us on here have gone to away games. Crowd participates in pregame when the band is on the field. Several schools fans did songs at the end of the third quarter.. Stay for the Alma MAter at the endo of the game and Learn the words to the fight song. its not that hard.

I was going off of an article I read a while back when we had our last mascot argument... the artist that designed the statues was quoted as saying that he got his inspiration from his native Hereford bulls... I really need to start saving this shiz to save me time looking for it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not just telling my group but everyone. USF should do something about this crap... fans should be allowed to hang around for a while after the end of the game vs. being rushed out like, well a bunch of livestock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
