USF's Nov. 17 home football game against Louisville has been designated as Military Appreciation Night. Exact details of the promotion haven't been released, but you can expect some kind of ticket discount for military-employed fans and their families (which should add to an already large crowd) and ceremonies before and during the game -- flyovers, paratroopers delivering gameballs and such. Stay tuned for details.

-- For fans seeking single-game football tickets this fall, those tickets go on sale Wednesday morning. The ticket window at Entry 3 of the Sun Dome will open at 7:30 a.m., and fans can also call 1-800-GoBulls starting at 7:45 a.m. or try Ticketmaster.com.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
They should give free admission to every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine and Coast Guardsman in uniform (with proper ID) and their families.

Make's me Bulls proud when they do something like this.
Helps us to keep things in a proper perspective.

Mad props to the servicemen and women abroad. Best wishes from this veteran that bleeds Green and Gold as well as the Red, White, and Blue. Be safe!

As a UCF fan I think this is a pure class move by USF. This should be done at every school in the Country. I remember UCF doing it a couple of years ago. It is truely moving to see all those men and women in uniform.
It is a great event, no matter what happens on the field. Good job USF!
