If we cant get 10,000 to 15,000 of our own fans to drive to Jacksonville less than 4 hours than we have bigger problems than Skip, the AD and the BE. If Skip is still here this may be our only "Bowl like" game. Edited November 30, 2012 by Dhambuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it at the local school sites. I'm pretty sure the Jax info is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Tech would travel well so that is not a problem. For USF to travel well to jacksonville the game would have to be the first or 2nd game of the season after the 1AA opponent, this way all the hope of a new season will still be there and fans will travel. The people of Jacksonville might also want to see college football in addition to the Gator/Dogs game. You never know both schools could make money over the deal. It wold be nice if this became a long term "tradition" It's this type of outside the box thinking that USF needs to take part in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned a few years ago that we may look to play a game there. Earliest it could be in 2013 is the 3rd week of the season if FAU comes off the schedule.
