First off, on behalf of all USF alumni, boosters, and season ticket holders, let me personally apologize to anybody who was on the receiving end of poor treatment at Friday's game in Tampa. We are a new program and experiencing unprecedented growth, and those of us who graduated from USF and who have grown along with this program are equally incensed at the poor hospitality shown by some of our younger fans. It is unfortunate that a small portion of our new fans act in such a way that has caused such a negative impression on our Kansas visitors. Those young idiots are NOT representative of our overall fan base. Rather, they are punks who incorrectly assume that buying a ticket to a sporting event gives you a license to treat others with disrespect, an assumption that ALL of us feel is incorrect.
Rest assured that there are many USF Alumni who are on the lookout for such behavior and will not hesitate to correct those who need correcting. I personally sat next to numerous Kansas fans at the game and we had a great time discussing the game, critiquing the refs, and enjoying what was a tremendous game. I again apologize, and wish success for Kansas during the remainder of their season.
