Bulls sign Home and Home with Western KY?

Guess Brett was right.

Why?

Granted we needed to fill the sch.

If true Brett was right a few years ago and some people owe him an apology.

Stupid series. I understand we don't hae the money to sign a 1 game deal...but they're stil D-IAA and waiting to move up...

see Greg's blog

we should have extended the UCF series two years. This series makes you scratch your head. How many big time programs go to Bowling Green to play the Hilltoppers?

Hope they bring the koolaid looking mascot with them.

Actually they are already D-IA transitional year this year. 2009 they will be official and bowl eligible.

Nothing like coming off vacation to find out USF added a home and home football series with Division I-A newbie Western Kentucky.

Here’s the release from USF:

University of South Florida Director of Athletics Doug Woolard announced the addition of Western Kentucky to the football schedules for 2009 and 2010 on Thursday morning.

The Bulls will play in Bowling Green, Kentucky on Sept. 12, 2009 and then host the Hilltoppers in Tampa, Sept. 25, 2010.

“Western Kentucky adds another NCAA FBS team to our upcoming schedules and really brings into focus our plans for the 2009 and 2010 seasons,†said Woolard. “The best part of the two-game deal is that we add a seventh home game in 2010.  The entertainment value for our fans increases with one more home date.  For our team, it provides the competitive advantage of playing one more date in front of our home fans.  And from a revenue standpoint, it provides a significant stimulus with seven home dates against five travel dates.â€Â

From Bret

AT least we get 7 games in 2010. Does that mean season ticket prices go up that year?

HHHmmmm, ROCKY beats up on Grimace's brother in Bowling Green, KY.

Wow, their stadium seats 17,500 people.  This is embarrassing.

I think its a great move by Woolard. Seeing that we have the toughest home schedule ever that year. This is a perfect road game to set up.

Don't forget we have WV, Cinci, Louisville and Miami at home in 2009!!

I am happy about.  My boss's alma mater.  I like it!  Their team is actually improving as are their other sports.
