Respect - just a little bit
Recognize the above logo? Yahoo! Sports doesn't.
Check out our team page. Check out Terry Bowden's weekend forecast, where he predicts a Bulls win (he'll also be doing the color commentary for the game on ABC - it's USF's first national game). Notice something amiss? Our "new" logo - new for over two years now - is nowhere to be seen. I understand it's going to take more than a win against overrated Louisville to even get the hometown newspaper to care more about USF than the Big Three. I understand that we're going to be Southern Florida for a while still to most in the rest of the nation, and that those same people will be perplexed by our location in Central Florida - so where does UCF play then? But would it be too much to ask someone at Yahoo! to watch at least highlights of a game - Chad Simpson's kickoff return against Louisville was a nominee for Week 4's ESPN Pontiac Game Changing Performance - and say, "Man, those helmets sure look different."?
On the flip side, crazy ol' Lee Corso, never a favorite of mine, gave us all something to enjoy when he predicted that USF would beat West Virginia and go to the Sugar Bowl. We still have to beat UConn, but it is nice to see someone outside of Tampa give us some props. He even called us USF. I'll bet he's seen our helmets.
