We have made great headway.  I remember when it was extremely difficult to find USF gear in the stores Now we have seen in cruise ships and department stores next to that garnit and orange stuff.

 

Go Bulls

Down here in North Port/Port Charlotte. Nothing but Turd and Noles crap, despite the fact there's a small satellite campus in North Port.

Final thoughts:

For all of its potential, USF’s football program has aimlessly drifted along like that big pirate ship in its stadium set out to sea without a rudder. The Bulls finally have a coach who can give them some direction.
Taggart is more than just competent, though. He’s dynamic and energetic. He has also proven that he has the chops to elevate a bottom feeder.

Taggart had next to nothing to work with at WKU. He’s now leading the program best-positioned for sustainable success in the Big East. USF may not challenge Florida or Florida State for supremacy in the Sunshine State anytime soon. With Taggart in the fold, though, USF could grow into one of the most fearsome mid-major programs in the country sooner than anyone realizes.

Yeah, so, we like this hire. A whole lot. Like, it might have been the best one made this offseason.

Agreed slick. That paragraph made my stomache churn.

[Ricky the Bull]

The bright side to that paragraph is that it will make us a no-brainer addition when expansion happens.

Churn or not, it's the truth.

 

Truth hurts sometimes, but self-deception hurts more/ longer...
