UM, FSU, and yes UF gear at our games these days?  As one who has been attending games since the beginning I can only say "YES"!  Hell I remember having conversations on this board a few years ago about this topic...  I used to bring shirts to games and make people (Thru PEER PRESSURE) change their colors.... Now I have a new technique... At the WVU, I spotted a man wearing um shirt... The following conversation ensued...

ME:  Excuse me sir, I am very sorry..

UM GUY:  Sorry what for?

ME:  I am sorry the old U has given way to the new U..

UM GUY:  Oh you mean my shirt?

ME: No sir its not just your shirt, its your stadium, your ranking, and your lack of respect for our boys..

UM GUY: Yes I hear you, I have been wanting to go get some new merchandise... My daughter is a freshman at USF...blah blah blah..

ME: Well you know what... the bookstore on campus has a nice selection of gear... It's time you follow your $$$ and daughter and move into the year of the "BULL"... 

FAST FORWARD TO THE UCF GAME..

FORMER UM GUY:  HEY YOU!!!! YES YOU WITH THE HORNS!!!! (I always wear my horns to the game) LOOK I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!!

ME:  Congrats!  WELCOME HOME!

NEW USF GUY:  YEA MY WIFE WAS PISSED I DROPPED OVER 100 AT THE BOOKSTORE!

I know we will get recruits... I know we will get $$$.... I know we will get recognition...

But **** it is nice to go to a game and see USF supported by most of the fans now!!!!  BTW, I have matured but I still give UF fan hard time when they visit.....

I am definitely seeing less other team gear at our games.  It is nice.

Way to spread the good word!  I live in Lakeland and the amount of USF gear that I have seen Downtown the last few weeks has taken a huge jump.

T man, I took a page out of your book earlier this year.  One of my buddies has season tickets in the family section, and during the Elon game he wasn't wearing USF gear.  I told him he needed a USF shirt and that the Our Shirts were only $6.  He told me he'd wear it to all the games if I picked one up for him.  Well, needless to say, he was wearing a green Our shirt for the UNC game, the WVU game, and now the UCF game.  I went over and picked one up for him, as I picked up a few for my sister in Delaware.  This guy isn't even a USF fan per se, he's a FSU grad, but has season tickets this year, and also Year 1.

They were probably UCF fans, but too embarrassed to wear their colors.
