swamprat Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Is anybody here close enough to the Hilltopper program to know if they've decided on a start time for this game and what that might be? If it's a night game, Mrs. S and I may just try and make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEERFAN Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Didn't know WKU was hosting a game against a Big East squad. You don't see that happening often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see that happening often.When USF started their football program in 1997, nobody would schedule a home and home with them. Western stepped up and scheduled them. When WKU went D1A, USF returned the favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tops022 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Swamp, I will see what I can find out. I have a bunch of buddies within the Athletics Program at WKU and I am sure they will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tops022 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Swamp, found out it is currently a 6PM CT start. Anything could change because ESPN may pick it up. Also WKU will be wearing their Black Shirts for "Black Out!" I will be making the drive from Tampa to watch my Tops against the Bulls as well!

CatsCatsCats Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thats class by USF IMO to come play them. I'll be there! Not to long ago, USF was in a similar position as WKU. They know what kind of up hill battle the Hilltoppers have, plus it shoud be a relatively easy victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the tickets won't be available until mid July and that I should receive an email when they do. USF is requesting the standard 5000 tickets, but I doubt that many fans will make the trip, so most will be turned back. Right now it looks like a road trip. The USF Alumni Association tailgates are OK, we attended them at UofL and UC last year, but I really like doing my own. Since this going to be a weekend trip and not a 2 week vacation, I plan on driving up fully loaded for tailgating. Maybe we'll treat Topper fans to some Tampa flavor. We'll have Tampa style Cuban sandwiches, picadilla, plantains, black beans, yellow rice, and ropa vieja. I'd make Cuban empanadas, but I don't want to break out the turkey frier for that. If we go, OF, you are more than welcome to join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more than likely going to fly and have a buddy who is going to get me some tickets that works in the WKU Athletic Department. I would have to stay, since I moved to Tampa, the Cuban sandwichs are fantastic! I can't to see some Tampa flavor in Bowling Green and I'm sure myself with my fellow WKU Alum will sample the flavor. Just let us know! :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamprat Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Got my tickets ordered today. Only $18. You can't beat that price. Room wasn't bad either, only $71 a night and only 3 miles from the campus. This is going to be a cheap weekend. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
