By Guest | Published 08/27/2023 | USF Fans Site News Here we are Game Week, the first for USF Football in 2023. So much on the line. In this crazy time of conference realignment, abandonment, destruction and consolidation, the Bulls program is just trying to come back to life - in time to be relevant in the future. After three miserable seasons under former head coach Jeff Scott, the Bulls moved on from the Clemson experiment and hired Coach Alex Golesh formerly of the Tennessee Volunteers. Golesh, or "Coach Go" as the players call him, paired with Volunteer head coach Josh Huepel to re-energi ..read more

It's scheduled for a 7:30 kickoff at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium where the Bulls lost to the Gators 42-30 last season.

By Brad Meyer | Published 09/06/2022 | USF Athletics Facilities Tampa, FL – After last Saturday, who doesn’t need something to celebrate? Across the USF Athletics landscape there is quite of bit of uncertainty and “show me” or “I’ll believe it when I see it” mentality. Understandably so. Our efforts to be competitive have created periods of optimism followed by seasons of grave pessimism. When it comes to facilities we’ve heard a lot in past years, but we haven’t seen a lot until the Indoor Performance Facility began construction last fall. That was after a lengthy delay, mostly related to fun ..read more

By Brad Meyer | Published 08/31/2022 | USF Fans Site News Today marks the beginning of the 24th season of TheBullsPen.com. It's amazing to me, so I write this post. We started up with "TheBullsPen" being the message board for the SouthFloridaBulls.com site. The site's beginning in 1999 was launched just before the Bulls first game of their third season. SFB was a blast, I started it when I lived in Tampa and could attend USF press conferences, media days, games and host watch parties. As I moved out west, it became harder to maintain but the message board was booming - and so were the Bulls! S ..read more

By Guest | Published 08/11/2022 | USF Bulls Athletics THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT DREAMFIELD OR THE FOWLER AVE COLLECTIVE OR EVEN USF Ok, with that out of the way I’d like to talk about the man behind the curtain. He’s pulled a bit of a trick on us, and we were too busy looking at one hand while he was pulling off the trick with the other. Feels like just yesterday the battle cry that was the injustice of the sport sounded like, “this is a billion dollar industry and the kids don’t make any money. It’s their bodies on the line. They should get a slice!!!” The demand was a slice of the pie. But what ..read more
