Harder to confuse whole words than abbreviations. The fans booed the ref loud and long after that call. And I'm pretty sure he did start calling us South Florida after that. Edit: And it prompted a chant of U - S - F as well. Edited September 20, 2014 by CousinRicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate seeing our team name abbreviated to "S. FLORIDA" on ESPN. We need to embrace "USF" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it was same guy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always prefered South Florida +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this happens to every school every once in a while. Refs aren't perfect. Mistakes happen. I laughed when I heard the boos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more about marketing and image than being insulted by an innocent slip of the tongue. How can he promote a brand (AAC) when the employees can't even call out the right name on national TV? On the other hand, it could comical when we play each other ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear such passion from the fans again. All 12,000 of us. But it certainly mobilized all 12K fervent, die-hards to boo and correct with the "U-S-F" chant. Even with the terrible climatic conditions, I had a great time in an almost empty Ray Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
