Attended the game yesterday, USF has a nice joint Baseball and softball stadium setup. It was a festive atmosphère, kids playing in the grassy area. We can definitely play with these guys, our team needs a bit more resources. Lastly, i was chatting with a USF alum and he thought A&T was a division 2 school. He looks up where A&T is located, says we have a good team then asked who i got for the Carolina Duke game. Go to show A&T has a ways to go before becoming a truly national brand. Yeah, I've gotten into the same types of conversations before with folks in other states, especially here in Florida. I remember one guy asking me about Duke after he said that he "didn't know much about NCAT&T...I mean NCA&T." I told him that I didn't realize that Duke was located in North Carolina.
If not for my wife's brother's wake, funeral and burial this entire weekend, I would've been another Aggie down there with you for all three games, AGGIE2039. He was a 30-year naval officer and will be buried here on Monday at the Tallahassee National Cemetery.

Mid major D1s overlooking the low major D1s will always be hilarious to me because they get the same thing from Power 5s/6s and have to unprovoked try to dish to the next level "below" them. UF, Florida State, Miami see them as a little brother so they have to small fry the D1s smaller than them. And in the case of Floridians, their state is genuinely so big they seem to be kinda disconnected from the rest of the Southeast and kinda just operate as their own thing (except the Tally & Jax). But Tampa doesn't seem like a HBCU enthusiast typa environment.
I realize that its a High Major > Mid Major > Low Major D1 bias a couple years ago when the Charlotte & ECU games took place, ECU fans tried their hardest to do the AT&T thing and pretend like they don't know the name. American, C-USA, Sun Belt, MAC, etc all get real corny with the OVC, CAA, MEAC, Big South of the world.

Really wanted to win this series (and should have) but I'll take a 2-2 Florida trip. I believe this group can ruffle some feathers once conference season starts.

A 2-2 Florida trip should put the CAA on notice.
