USF Bulls Tailgating Association
The USF football program itself only dates back to 1997, and the Bulls Tailgating Association members began tailgating in 2000, when USF was still a conference-less, Division I-AA team. Since then, they’ve grown into USF’s premier pre-gaming party. Association President Brad Sufficool and his crew have amassed an impressive list of tailgating sponsors. “Basically I [...]
