A Few New Additions to the Locker Room
In between practices today, we walked through the locker room and two things stood out.

There were 17 bodies sound asleep on the floor. You gotta love the dog days of camps, when full grown football players can take a deep sleep in the middle of the locker room.

Kudos to Kion Wilson for bringing an air mattress to the slumber party. Rumor has it Carlton Mitchell is in possession of an air mattress as well.

The other thing that stood out is the debut of the 82-inch flat screenthat completes the player entertainment center on the west facing wall.

We have posted an image in the photo location above.

Schuyler on HBO Real Sport
Former USF walk-on Nick Schuyler will talk publically for the first time with HBO's Real Sports next week. The episode was described to GoUSFBulls.com as "a story about friendship, respect, fighting to survive and honor."

Schuyler was the lone survivor of a boating trip that took the lives of former USF tight end Will Bleakley, Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, and free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith.

The episode will debut debuts Tuesday, Aug. 18 at 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT and will reair multiple times in the week following.

Fan Fest Update
The Bulls will get a break from the practice schedule for Fan Fest on Saturday at Raymond James Stadium.

Will you be there for the free event from 3-6 p.m. Eastern? The players will be signing autographs, taking pictures and participating in interactive games. It is the best time all year to get autographs from USF players.

Select-A-Seat
One of the best opportunities annually at Fan Fest is the Select-A-Seat program. Fans interested in purchasing tickets can come out at 2:30 p.m. and enter the stadium for a private viewing of available seats. The fan can sit down in the seats, meet with the sales staff and lock in their 2009 tickets on site.

If interested head to Gate B at 2:30 p.m. and ask for a USF staffer to give you a inside look at Raymond James Stadium. Fans can also call 1-800-Go-Bulls before Saturday to set up an appointment.

We're Going Live
BullsVision Radio will be live from Fan Fest with the USF football radio team of Jim Louk, Mark Robinson, Mike Pepper, Jim Lighthall and Justin Pawlowski. Pre-game analyst Nick Quartaro is the only analyst who will not be in attendance.

BullsVision Radio and GoUSFBulls.com will stream the free broadcast live from 4-5:30 p.m. The crew will have player and coaches interviews throughout the 90 minute show.

Can You Hear USF Radio?
USF and the ISP Sports Network just completed a partnership with Live Sports Radio that brings a real-time radio feed to fans that purchase the product for a one-time fee of $20.

Here is More InformationThese were utilized at the Super Bowl and BCS Natiuonal Championship Game this past year and are a phenonmenal product that USF has brought to its fans.

Selvie at No. 25 in Rival Top 100
It might as well be a daily feature... George Selvie's preseason accolades. Yesterday afternoon Rivals named George Selvie the 25th best player in college football in its Top 100 countdown.

Here is a link to Rivals.com.

And what they wrote on the USF star:
"USF's career leader with 60 tackles for loss and 25.5 sacks, Selvie has excellent speed off the edge. His sack total dropped from 14.5 in '07 to 5.5 last season, but much of that was because of constant double teams and an ankle injury that forced him out of the majority of three games. Healthy again, his sack total figures to rise this season. Not bad for a guy who played center in high school."

Do You Want Miami & West Virginia Tickets?
The USF ticket office has been innundated with requests for tickets to home games against Miami and West Virginia.

The best way to secure seats is by purchasing season tickets, including the Eat For Free offer, which is only available by calling 1-800-GoBulls.

The only other way to purchase seats (at this time) for the two marquee home matchups is through a Group Package. Group tickets come at a discount from the single game price, but must be purchased in orders of 20 or more. In addition to the price break, group tickets come with a $5 service charge for the entire order, instead of with each ticket. Call 1-800-GoBulls if you are ready to lock in your group for the huge games against the Mountaineers and Hurricanes.

Below is pricing breakdown (please refer to seat map for location of the categories):

Seat Category Group Rate Full Price Savings
B $32 -- --
C $29 $35 $6
C $20 $30 $10
F $18 $25 $7
