Hear this: Web audio and live radio!

Web audio is back! Click here and you can hear me ramble on with the Times' Tom Jones about USF's game Saturday against Cincinnati, the Bulls' two losses and the start of basketball season. Tom got in a good shot at Jim Leavitt in his sports-related Halloween costumes feature this morning.

And if the sound of my pre-recorded voice just doesn't do it for you, there's more of me -- live! I'm a guest of Mike Pepper tonight at 6:25 p.m. or so on his "USF Magazine" radio show on WQYK 1010-AM, which is online here. Is there a higher-scoring call sign, in terms of Scrabble scoring, then WQYK? I know the Q is pretty much an anchor without an accompanying U, but still, just saying. ...

Latest numbers I'm getting on USF-Cincy are upwards of 50,000 tickets sold and distributed, though this is a week where the actual fannies-in-seats count should be more of a disparity than in past weeks. Plenty of folks bought three-game mini-packs that included this game, which might explain why there were 26 upper-level tickets available on Stubhub.com for $10 each or less earlier today. As I write this, that number is down to just eight that cheap. Companion tickets for students -- more than 8,000 of their tickets have been distributed -- go on sale Thursday at the Sun Dome.

And for what it's worth, Cincinnati did not sell out its allotment, returning 1,200 tickets back to USF. And, just as a Halloween tease, check back around midnight or so and I'll have some real, actual recruiting news. I know, it's cruel, but you've got tons of candy, so stop complaining.

Can you PLEASE!!!! try and get a real number for attendence this Saturday. We all know there will be less than 40k there, but how small the crowd is these next two home games is HUGE news for bull fans.

Greg are you going to report a new verbal?

Please, post the news! I'm writing a paper I've put off until the last night so I need something to cheer me up and help me delay it even more.

Adam,

Who gives a crap. Buy a ticket and go to the stadium to see for yourself.

[Booooooooooooooyahhhhhhhhhhhh]

My grandma and all her friends said they're not gonna go. Probably less than 35K, impressive!

Cincy is known for a lack of ticket sales so the 1200 returned tickets shouldn't surprise anyone.

I've been to all the home games and some of the road games for 8 seasons now. I will be there saturday tailgating and cheering on my BULLS. If the bandwagoners want off, JUMP! GO BULLS!!
