To me a nice tradition would be getting 50k to EVERY game.

Bingo!

Even better would be to have all 50K standing in front of their seats at kickoff.

Any story which I can recall about college traditions usually tells how traditions happened over time more by accident than design. I am not sure I would be happy with a contrived tradition.

My main complaint has always been the non-stop loud music and ads during breaks. We get a U-S-F chant going and then 50,0000,000 WATTS of NFL speakers drown us out. The crowd's voice has no chance.

The Rocky's Rag is something that could catch on and I believe it has the possibility. It just depends how many others are willing to try it and yes, the winning would help implement it. The fact that it is green definitely helps and seeing a giant wave of green at not only RJS but at all the sporting events could become a great tradition. I understand the complaint about the cost, but one good thing about that is the fact that people will make sure not to forget about it when they know they spent $8 on it. Hopefully many fans will use it Friday night at the Men's Soccer game vs Michigan which will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel

I would love for a group of "Green Men" to go to most of the events. I have a friend who did it for several softball games last year and seemed to be a success

War Flamingo was a joke post but apparently some of you are quite passionate against it. May I ask why? Is it that you are too cool for such a childish "gimmick"? Inquiring minds want to know.

Not spending $8 on a small green towel. Will stop at WalMart/Target and buy a small green towel, since no one on TV will know the difference.

At least Tamplona and War Flamingo are USF originals. Not saying that we should use either, But at the very least they are both unique to USF. Plus wasn't Auburn our first huge road victory?

Tamplona is cool. War Flamingo isn't.

Solid agree with you on this one.

Pitt in 2001 was out first huge road win.

Define huge.

Come on, compare an eagle with a flamingo and tell me which one is more worthy of being a mascot for a football team. :D

It was great for the Auburn game, and a great joke henceforth, but to speak of it being a tradition smacks of a not-so-subtle Florida-ized version of Auburn's tradition. Just not something I would want to associate with USF for the rest of my life.

Second game as a 1 A program going up against a team who was the first team receiving votes in both polls. We received some good time on ESPN that day. You can argue that we arrived as a program that day.

Partially toungue in cheek. I haven't ever seen such passion towards a "Joke Gimmick".

Second time... what is tamplona?

Starting a green rally rag tradition is very very easy. Just raise the price of the our shirt by $1 and then include a green rag with each our shirt purchase.

Got that.... include green rag with each our shirt purchase and that's all it will take. Make the our shirts $6 or $7 dollars to cover the cost. If a business is selling the A&M rags for $1 I'm sure SG can find a place to get green ones for a similar price. I can't imagine green dye raises the cost by much, if at all.

EDIT: So for those who support that idea just write an email to SG with the above suggestion, I think they could easily implement it and include a little green towel with each 2013 our shirt. If they get enough emails I'm sure they will at least give it thorough consideration. It can go through SG and be tied to the our shirt. I think that would be the path of least resistance.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
