wide web of (tampa bay) sports: da bulls

In case you haven’t heard there is a little game this Friday night involving the University of South Florida. How things have changed in the Big East, three weeks ago no one could have predicted this game would likely decide who wins the conference. Ignoring that Friday night games are an affront to every high school coach who ever taught the game best of luck to the Bulls tomorrow, they’ll need it.

  • We Must Ignite This Couch not only has the best name EVER for a West Virginia blog but also a preview of Friday nights’ game. WMITC predicts a 31-20 victory for the Mountaineers in Raymond James. We predict no couches will be burnt in Tampa Friday regardless of who wins.
  • The Bulls are becoming the talk of the web as Sunday Morning Quarterback runs down the (short) history of the program, and struggles with accepting USF as a top tier program. The Bulls were not supposed to be this good this quickly and their success (much like playing on a Friday nite) is an offense to the USC’s and Notre Dame’s of the college football world.
  • If we can depend on our elected officials for one thing it is shameless yet harmless displays of support for the hometown team. Tampa mayor Pam Iorio is no different, having declared Friday to be “Green and Gold Day.” Does this mean Tampa is also supporting William and Mary?
  • West Virginia has one of the most dangerous rushing attacks combining the three headed monster of Steve Slaton, Pat White and Noel Devine. Which leads BullsEye.com to question whether USF can stop the West Virginia offense.
  • And finally a bonus Pat White Youtube clip mocking another Big East team. USF you are now on notice, Pat White is not impressed with your lame audio.

    It’s a longstanding college football tradition to burn a couch after the game, win or lose. If USF wants to be taken seriously as a football university, someone needs to take some responsibility here.

    PS – I guess it goes without saying that participants should be inebriated when igniting the couch.

    After tonight’s game, I’ll be cheering on the Bulls. I’m really happy South Florida has stepped it up. The Big East doesn’t even miss Miami, BC or Virginia Tech. Let’s go Mountaineers.

    No sir, I’m from Meechigan, and I graduated from CMU, a Playboy-ranked Top 20 party school, and roadtripped to WMU (rival), MSU and U of M. Couch burning is a regular postgame ritual there.

    I got my masters at USF so I’m rooting for the Bulls.
