[E.T.]

I'm hoping Eric Lee gets my locker, my middle name is Lee.

I better get another email to Eric S.

Skip got back to me on Facebook, but haven't heard anything lately. This is his busy time now.

If it is anything like the VTech one, Ill be happy lol. We need something unique, just like we have 12,501 student seats, VTech went "one inch bigger," we need something like that.

Wow! Lets hope the locker room turns out to be this nice

I just hope they are an inch bigger than everybody else. That's what Virginia tech did. LOL

Each stained-wood locker is seven feet tall and 42 inches wide. Supposedly, they are the biggest in America because coach Frank Beamer asked his people who had the biggest and said, ‘Make ours one inch bigger.’â€

This has the WOW factor we need. Imagine being a recruit and walking into this locker room. Very impressive and makes you want to hang your jersery and helmet there and then.

Nice surprise when they get back from Vero

They timed their stay in Vero to coincide with upgrades being made back on campus to the locker rooms in the Selmon Athletic Center

Official release on US football Locker room with video and more pictures.

USF Senior Writer

TAMPA - You might be tired, sweaty, filthy and ready to hop right into the shower, but you better take off your cleats.

That's the warning that senior linebacker Sam Barrington has for the Bulls now that they get to enjoy the latest installment of USF's amazing series of renovations across the athletic district - the football locker room. USF had two practice sessions on Monday, but the players certainly weren't complaining because of what they got to step into afterwards.

"The new locker room is legit. They have neon lights and everything that you need. It looks like a pro locker room," junior defensive lineman Tevin Mims said.

Yes, there are neon green LED lights that illuminate custom made glass pieces to help section off each locker and that's just a portion of what makes USF's sweet setup so great. Each locker has a ventilation system in the overhead compartment as well as the foot locker that holds items that certainly could use some airing out after a long day of work.

"We talk about being a top 10 program and those are definitely one giant step towards going to a top 10 program because they're just awesome," redshirt freshman quarterback Matt Floyd said.

And that's certainly not all.

Each locker has power outlets and an electrically coded safe for personal items. Possessions that players just want to place in plain sight now get placed on a 35-pound concrete shelf that bears the USF logo.

"I feel like a freshman again," Barrington said.

Barrington, one of the team's main leaders, is now happy to make sure USF players of all ages keep the new locker room "beautiful," as he calls it.

"The lights are shining and everybody is just grateful. We have to make sure we keep it clean," Barrington said. "Rule No. 1 - no cleats in the locker room. It shows how they're trying to build a championship program here, not just on the field but off the field as well."
