It looks like Cincinnati isn't the only Big East program trying to convince their city that they are worth coming out to see. Like Cincinnati, South Florida shares their city with a pro football team, but unlike Cincinnati, the Tampa Bay Bucs have yet to win a game. It would seem like a perfect time for fans to hop on the undefeated USF bandwagon, but apparently that isn't happening.
This Thursday's nationally televised game between two undefeated, ranked teams is not yet sold out, so the school is promoting the game with billboards, two-for-one ticket offers, and $10 upper deck seats in an effort to pack over 60,000 into Raymond James stadium. They are seeking to recreate the atmosphere in 2007 when 67,012 fans saw the Bulls defeat #5 West Virginia.
Playing USF on the road is going to be a tough test for the Bearcats. Fortunately UC has already been tested with big road wins at Rutgers and Oregon State, where they broke a string of 26 straight non-conference wins.
