not to worry the traveling hoards from smu are on their way to boost your flagging attendance woes by around 10 or 15.

Their attendance percentage wise is worse than SMU's and they have a worse record. But they a have really good recruiting class so they have some hope for the future.

"We haven't done anything to get 'em all there," Willie Taggart said about the lack of attendance at USF home games. "We shot ourselves in the foot. I said it from Day One, we're going to earn our fan support."



The Bulls fans "did a great job today for our football team," he said. "And I know things aren't going the way that they want them to, but I do want to say I appreciate you all, and go Bulls."

I know they announced 28k, but I was trying to estimate if you squeezed everyone in together I'm guessing there may have been about 18k at that game. I will say this...Raymond James Stadium is going to be a very loud, hostile place if they ever put even 50k in that place. USF fans were making some noise when they scored to make it 16-6 and were going for 2. Much louder than Ford will ever be because of the acoustics. Loved that stadium

that would be their season low; we bring that out in people and obviously those kind of numbers make us feel right at home
