USF Freshmen Quarterbacks Duel At Spring Game

USF’s annual spring football game was all about first impressions this year, as the split squads of green and white faced off for the first action on the gridiron of 2009. On one hand, the trio of new coaches – offensive coordinator Mike Canales, defensive coordinator Joe Tresey, and co-defensive coordinator David Blackwell – had [...]

USF Women’s Basketball Continues Record Season

With the disapproval and utter disbelief of being snubbed out of the Women’s NCAA Tournament, the USF Lady Bulls are proving to the NCAA Selection Committee that they belong. With a 22-10 overall regular season record, the Bulls were hoping to clinch a berth into the Big Dance, but instead were forced to settle for [...]

The Return of Tiger Woods

The outer appearance of the Ritz Carlton Golf Club at Dove Mountain is vast, beautiful and uninhibited. Last week at the WGC Accenture Match Play Championship, it served as an appropriate site for the return of perhaps the world’s greatest athlete, whose swing complements the course’s outdoor landscape.

Changes on the Horizon for USF Football

The last two USF football seasons have been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride, both in an emotional and logistical sense. The Bulls and their fans have experienced utter jubilation because of wins over Auburn and West Virginia in 2007 that put the program in the national spotlight for the first time in its short history. They [...]

A-Rod nabbed as baseball’s biggest name in steroid era

It’s ironic how 10 years ago, the one aspect of the game that was supposed to save baseball has been, for the last six years, the same thing that has destroyed it. But even more true, the irony of the situation is sad. Players today live by the homerun and die by it too. Just [...]

College Football Lagging Behind In Diversity

Who knew sports and politics had so much in common. In America, both are rooted deep in our social fabric and possess a certain irony. In fact, a bizarre connection is evident. The nation’s first African American president was inaugurated Jan.20. If you think that alone is a telling sign of the times, then you [...]

USF Defense Provides Much-Needed Win

After losing four out of its last five games, USF rebounded with a 17-13 win over Connecticut in this season’s final home game. The victory allowed the Bulls to avoid their first four-game losing streak in school history and guaranteed USF a bowl appearance, likely in the St. Petersburg Bowl on Dec. 20.
Still reeling from [...]
