If we actually played a quality opponent, like UCF for a home opener, we wouldn’t need to essentially give away tickets at $5 a piece (and you can’t tell me the place wouldn’t be packed with those looney tunes from Mousetown). However, the old regime was very intent in scheduling an absolute cup cake to potentially limit the damage before playing a capable BCS opponent. I hope Skip shows a little more moxy with the scheduling. I’d rather play a quality road opponent then have a meaningless home game against a cupcake every year. Anywhere, any place, anytime.

Teebone:

I will check on that password and post on the blog as soon as I get an answer from our marketing folks…thanks for the heads up.

UF_Sucks: I’ve heard similar opinions from others, and I have to agree. I think you’ll see the program add some better out-of-conference opponents under Holtz once the current contracts run out…An annual USF-UCF season opener every season would be fun for the fans and actually boost the exposure of the season opener…

oldgreenandgold: I appreciate you checking out the blog and thanks for the note.

I’m not sure I would consider UCF a quality opponent, or that they would draw huge opening crowds. They have been the most obnoxious drunken idiots the past few years, and I don’t want to expose my family or myself to that kind of an afternoon. So that would be a few empty seats from a season ticket holder. It’s not worth it to me. I also understand that scheduling cupcakes was a practice that I didn’t like but that it was the athletic director and not the head coach who was responsible for it. Not sure if that’s true, but if it is, we wouldn’t necessarily see a change because Holtz said he liked it and Woolard is still AD

Trying to remember what $5 would buy when I was a graduating senior and pauper at USF in 1972:
Gasoline for the week in my Chevelle.
Beer for Friday night. (nothing left for a
Saturday night ticket)
Three or Four Big Macs to keep me in food for the whole weekend.
Okay, $5 isn’t that precious these days, (although if the recession lasts much longer it may soon be so again) and I’d love to be down there and spend it to mingle with the USF crowd this weekend. Go Bulls.

To teebone and any others interested in the USF-Stony Brook ticket deal, looks like the link is working again…

USFTBO is the password once you get to TicketMaster page.

Hey BlueRidgeBull,

Are you in Blue Ridge, Georgia?  We’re in Ellijay—were in BR Sunday to watch the community theatre production.

thanks scott…

To Ken in Georgia asking about BlueRidgeBull:
I live in Roanoke County, Va., at the edge of the mountains and near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Looking forward to reading comments from USF fans who do get to the game on Saturday.
On Monday, Sept. 6, I’m invited to the Virginia Tech-Boise State game in Maryland, which should be fun.
Meantime, Go Bulls.

Also lovely territory.  We’ll be at the game.

I didn’t know there were so many USF fans/Alumni in GA.  Ken, I am in Cumming…...Ellijay is nice country.

GO BULLS!
