Tampa Tribune and USF Logo

[Boomer]

They still have the flying goat logo.  Why can't the local paper even get it right?

That right-hand "scoreboard" section of TBO's website (it's the same on tampabay.com, just above the main image) where the box score of a specific game or an upcoming USF schedule is listed with the old Bulls logo is not run by TBO. It's run by a third-party service called "The Sports Network" and sportsnetwork.com, which supplies statistics and other numbers in real-time to most news outlets for their websites. It usually depends on the day, because I've seen both the old and new logos used in that info box. Rest assured neither newspaper has control over it.

So Jeff, what you're really saying is that you've seen it and you're okay with it or it isn't worth calling anyone.  You could have left it at that.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you've never even tried to have any  "...control over it." To say, "Rest assured neither newspaper has control over it." is exactly the point of this post and others on this board regarding the interest in USF sports.  I'm betting you never even tried to contact this service (that I'm assuming you pay for to help provide your product to your customers) to attempt get them to quit using the old logo.  Again why?  Because it just doesn't bother you enough that our school logo is improperly represented to pick up the phone.

 

You may ask, "Okay Boomer, have you tried to call them?  My answer would be, "No."  "Why not?"  "Because I don't care enough to."

 

There you go - it's that easy.

Get a grip dude. So what. In the scheme of things its not important. Many of us like the old logo fine.

Insightful.

McMurphy reminds me of the beginning of Ironman 3 where Tony Stark says, "Someone once said we create our own monsters." I think that the way Leavitt treated the media, and him, were key to what became his attitude and treatment of USF.

I doubt you have any idea how that battle started.

My apologies. I was just trying be nice and clear the air about any misunderstandings anyone may have about the local newspapers and their relationship with the service.

I hate the italicized "U"

 

Looks like some crap a traveling AAU softball squad would use.

The logo is the size of my pinky nail ............... is it really that big of a deal? Geez

IMO, it's one of the best and most versatile logos in college sports.  Hate will eat you up!

 

 

Agreed. One of the better things athletics has done.

No apologies really needed here, Jeff. His post was ridiculous ... I'm not sure why some think this is either paper's obligation to fix, especially considering they don't control it and it's a pretty intermittent screw up to begin with. This is obviously DW and the Athletic Department's **** up to allow this to continue.

That Doug never ferreted out the obvious UCiF'er that's hacked the sportsnetwork feed to sabotage our logo with an older one is just unforgiveable. That should be his new "special assignment" during his pad-on year.
