USF expands radio network for football
USF announced an expanded radio broadcast package Tuesday for Bulls football games this fall, including a new 90-minute pregame show in Tampa and three new radio affiliates on the East coast of Florida.
Bulls fans on the East coast now have three new options to hear USF football games: WFLL 1400 AM in Fort Lauderdale, WPSL 1590 in Port St. Lucie and WTSU 1590 in Stuart. Those three join USF's flagship station, WFLA 970 in Tampa, as well as WORL 660 in Orlando. Jim Leavitt's Thursday night "Bull Session" call-in show will be broadcast on WQYK 1010 AM in Tampa.
USF is holding a "Bulls Bash" on Thursday night at Channelside Bay Harbor, built around Leavitt's first call-in show of the year, with players available for autographs as well. It's scheduled from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., but USF's practice on campus isn't scheduled to end until 6, so don't be shocked if Leavitt and his players are there closer to 7 or so.
The 90-minute pregame show will only be in Tampa, with the other affiliates carry 60 minutes of pregame before kickoff.
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
so who's bringing the "firejimleavitt.com" sign to Channelside?

Why not you? That way we'll know who to tar and feather.

This football program has made great strides in just 10 years. It's really amazing when you think that other state schools took decades to accomplish what we have already done. UF and FSU had many lean years and UM was close to dropping football all together before Howard Schnellenberger arrived.

Hey Greg, I would love to see you or someone from USF represent the Bulls on tailgate overtime on sunsports. You have 2 guys have a love fest for UF. Then you have 2 UM guys. Then you have Floyd for FSU. Then you have the host talking big five. There's no room for five teams, only four. Keep the "other three" at the bottom.

Mark, i'd love to join Greg and represent USF. I think I speak for most of the passionate (not casual) USF fans when I state my opinions on the program. They are legitimate concerns that need to be addressed if we are to every consider ourselves to be an elite program.

Cee, you are lonely, lonely man/woman.

Greg,
Do you know if there is currently an affiliate radio station that broadcasts the games in or around the Jacksonville area? My parents live there and wanna catch some games.

Miles,
If you can't find a local station that carries the games, you may want to check the web sites of the stations mentioned to see if they have live internet feeds. It will tie you to a computer, but at least you can listen to the games.

Miles, RTB has the answer for you. If you want to sign up for the "Press Pass" product on USF's official site, that would also do the trick.
