Been there a couple of times. It's pretty cool. My buddy use to live in Tampa. It would still be small timey to add them tho.

[Panjandrum]

My buddy's brother married a girl that went to USF to get her marine biology degree, she absolutely loved the school.  Stadium in video looks kind of small-timey though.

There is a big push for an on campus stadium.

They play basketball in the Sun Dome, which holds 10k+ and was renovated in 2011.

Baseball stadium was opened in 2011 as well.

They are probably a little more advanced in a lot of areas than UCF.  If they could get an on-campus stadium and play certain games in Raymond James, they may be a fairly strong candidate.

The Florida Cabinet approves the name "University of South Florida," in part because it is the southernmost university in the state at the time.

These fuckers offer a geography major.  That rivals KSU offering a PR degree.

If this ever came to completion, they could keep the name.

Until then, "South Florida" is Palm Beach County and straight down.

[eastcat]

that's a good idea.  big 12 should just deny everybody, but also put out the a very public list of reasons that each school got denied. 

1.  UCF: Bad academics.  Poor football program.  Poor basketball program.  Metallic bleachery stadium sucks.  Idiot fans.

2. Memphis: Named after a crappy city. Poor Academics. JT isn't that cool anymore. TeamUPS. Do you have fans?

And so on through the 20 schools.

Where? I'm more familiar with St. Pete campus (sister is an SLP at the hospital) I've only been to the Tampa campus to play golf, but it seems sufficiently land locked.

There's a swamp next to the Claw. Could stick it there I suppose. But hippies.

I'm all for USF and Louie. End of list for non-5 candidates.  Come on Arizona schools! 

[Panjandrum]

@Blackcats: MOSI spot next to the campus. But there is contention with folks that want to turn it into an innovation park for businesses.

Tampa is nowhere near the southern part of Florida. Like, "West Florida" would actually work because geography.

Central Florida and "USF" are like an hour apart too on I-4. You'd need to drive about 2-2 1/2 hours south of Tampa/Orlando to finally reach "South Florida"



CASE CLOSED.

I've seen it on a map.  It's in the southern part of florida.  Sad that you don't know what your own state looks like Winterz.  Better take a geography class at good old KS of U this year.

Quiz for my curiosity:  where in the state of Idaho would you say is Boise?

I've spent time in Tampa, Orlando, and Miami on business, extensively, over the years.

Tampa is my favorite by far.
