coming to the SunDome this fall

The USF Bulls Mens' Basketball Team released their 2005-06 non-conference schedule on Wednesday. You want big-time college basketball? Perennial powerhouse Michigan will make the trip down Fowler Avenue to face Coach McCullum's squad Dec. 10. Saturday night's alright!
Of course, as much as Michigan is an excellent program, we will be facing a lot of great teams this year in our own conference, the Big East. USF's conference schedule has not been released yet.
For those of you who aren't aware, most "experts" will probably pick USF to finish last in the Big East.
We will also face an old foe in non-conference: our perennial rival, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) comes to the SunDome. USF has played 53 games against UAB, and it's always a dogfight.
Sometimes we have fun in the SunDome. Sometimes we do not have as much fun as we wish. But I hope to attend all the games. Hey mister schedule maker: how about a 6 pm tipoff on saturday games? That way I can make it to work on time! If not, I'll just be late... Ok, George?
USF once had a guard named Cedric Smith who said: "To our fans, we're their Duke, we're their North Carolina." Mr. Smith, you hit the nail on the head.
