USF’s First Sold Out Football Game
Having a notable college football team is a new thing for the Tampa area. USF’s Bulls have only been around for 10 years and fir the first time in their history, they finally have a sold out game on their hands. I find it ironic that the team they are playing for this game is WVU. I lived in Morgantown for three years while I was working at a small publishing house and for a while I lived in a house where I could see Mountaineer Stadium from my front yard. Sold out games are a fact of life in Morgantown. Of course, WVU has their own stadium, an older program, and a team that has been very good for much longer.
Local enthusiasm is palpable about the Big East showdown with fifth-ranked West Virginia is encouraging, even if more people around the Tampa area think the Mountaineers are from the western part of Virginia. I’m not sure why people forget WV is an entirely separate state. Perhaps they had bad geography teachers in school.
A win would be great for morale around here. Despite that, I am still predicting WVU will come out of this with a win.
