This is great for USF and Tampa!  Should be an exciting finish to the season and tickets for the remaining games are almost sold out! Thank goodness I got mine before the season started!! Congrats to the coaches, players and teachers!!! This is very exciting time for them!!!

You know what?  I’ve been in Iraq a year and right now the Bulls are making these last three months fly by!  I watched the game at 4 a.m. local time Saturday in Baghdad. 

They later showed the highlights in the DFAC (dining facility) on the FOB Saturday afternoon.  I can’t describe the pride I had in seeing MY USF Bulls getting all the love and attention.  So much for the “where’s USF?  what’s USF?” questions, haha!!!  Great job coach Leavitt and best of luck for the rest of the season.  This team deserves it.  By the way, love the blogs and updates Brett.  Go Bulls!!!

As a staunch college football fan (I’m a Ramblin Wreck from Georgia Tech) I came to this site just to read about the excitement you all must feel!!!  Wow.  #6 Well deserved and well earned.  I watched you Friday night.  very impressed.  Good luck the rest of the way.

Man that’s great.  But makes me nervous as $%^$ for the guys.  Now comes expectations and the big target on the back.  I guess the city can enjoy this today, and the bulls can get back to work tomorrow if not today.  The coach said it best, time to get ready for FAU and nothing else.

I have to echo Chris’ comments - I thought this would be a good year, but SERIOUSLY!!  SIXTH in the AP??!!!  I was so proud to see the turnout at the Friday night game too!!  I hope these heady poll numbers don’t get to the players’ heads—I know the coaches will do everything possible to keep them focused on FAU.

Won’t the UCF team be gunning for us too, to gain themselves some respect?

As an older alum who graduated over 20 years B.F. (before football), I want to thank Coaches Leavitt, Burnett and all the rest; and thanks to all you players - keep hitting hard, playing smart and bullieving!

GO BULLS!!

Enjoy it while it lasts… it’ll all be over when UCF comes to town.  USF is no Texas.  The Knights will be fine tuned.

Take a lot of picture, Bulls fans, it won’t last.

No cowbells please.  They’re the Bulls not the Cows. 

Great victories versus WV and Auburn.  Can’t take FAU lightly next Saturday.  Need to go 6-0 into the Rutgers game.  In my opinion, toughest foe will be Cincinnati. 

Go Bulls from Class of ‘83 alumnus.

This is freaking amazing.  I don’t know what else to say.  We were never ever ranked until 2 weeks ago and now we are in the top 10.  We are the highest ranked team in the state of Florida. 

If we cut out the silly mistakes every week this team can play with anyone in the country. 

I went into the year thinking we would have a good year and get to a nice bowl and keep building a foundation.  We might end up blowing up the foundation of college football and shocking the world if we can run the table.

Hey Brett, how does it feel to be covering the #6 team in the country?

Unreal.

Posted by  Ben Forlaw, Atlanta on 09/30  at  01:32 PM

I was wrong in almost all my picks to Brett’s contest questions this week ... but I don’t care.  Here in Atlanta, I went out to eat this morning and got several comments for the USF shirt I was wearing.  I love what is going on and we are freakin’ #6 in the AP (forget the USA Today Poll - how dare they rank Florida ahead of us??)  Aside from my graduation day, I have never been so proud to be a Bull.  Go Bulls!!!

As a season ticket holder it was great to see the huge USF crowd at the WVU game.  The noise was deafening during the entire game.  Brett, why don’t you get Tampa Tribune to get some USF cowbells made and sell at the game, so it can be even louder..Can cowbells be taken into Ray-Jay? Check out the following site for ordering cowbells www.cowbell-central.com  

One last note Tampa PD are a bunch of idots, as usual.  Some things will never change in TAMPA.  Why arrest and hit fans after a big win???

My wife and I attended the game Friday evening and were amazed by the crowd support for the Bulls. The noise level was constant and deafening. As much as I hate to say it, The Bulls appear to be the new “beast of the east.” Congratulations on a great game.

How about at least a link to the rest of the rankings, please?

That is incredible and well deserved!  Congratulations to Coach Leavitt, his staff (the ones who didn’t defect and the new ones), the players, the students (current and former), the city of Tampa and Bulls fans worldwide!  Let’s keep it moving forward!  Go Bulls!
