The CBCS Tailgate held on February 27th before the USF Bulls Women's basketball game was a blast. Along with great food, give-ways for each guest including a USF Bulls hat, and perfect weather, Rocky D Bull was on hand with the Herd of Thunder band to perform. President Judy Genshaft, Athletic Director Mark Harland, and Alumni Association Executive Director Bill McCausland stopped by to greet guests and thank everyone for supporting the USF Women's basketball team. The President of Temple University, Neil Theobald, also made a brief stop at the tailgate to talk with guests. The Bulls won against Temple 76-62. We hope to make this an annual event to support the college and our Bulls teams.
