Posted on July 1st, 2009 by South Florida Bulls Gameday

Kickoff time and TV coverage announced for South Florida at Western Kentucky on 9/24

Official release from Big East / USF Athletics:

The BIG EAST Conference announced that the University of South Florida football road game at Western Kentucky on Sept. 12 will be broadcast by ESPN Regional and televised locally by Brighthouse Sports Network (channel 47 on Brighthouse cable).

SNY, the cable home of the New York Mets and New York Jets, will also carry the game as an affiliate of ESPN Regional.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Eastern at Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium in Bowling Green, Ky.

The Bulls open the 2009 season one week earlier (Sept. 5) against Wofford at Raymond James Stadium.  After the trip to WKU, the Bulls host Charleston Southern (Sept. 19).  Game times and television packages have not been announced for Wofford and CSU.

The fourth weekend of the non-conference season is one of the most anticipated in program history, as the Bulls will travel to Tallahassee to face Florida State for the first time in program history.

A game time for the USF and FSU showdown will be announced within a 13-day window prior to Sept. 26.  No national networks have picked up the game, but it is a likely candidate for a national spotlight through the BIG EAST’s multi-year deal with ESPN.

Other 2009 games that are currently scheduled with times and broadcast partners are:
  • Thursday, Oct. 15: Home vs. Cincinnati at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN
  • Friday, Oct. 30: Home vs. West Virginia at 8 p.m. on ESPN2
  • Thursday, Nov. 12: At Rutgers at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN
  • Saturday, Dec. 5: At UConn on ESPN/ESPN2 or ABC (Time TBA)

Additional Florida State Tickets on Sale on GoUSFBulls.com

Courtesy: USF Athletic Dept

After selling out its initial allotment to the Florida State football game in Tallahassee on Sept. 26, the University of South Florida ticket office has put additional tickets on sale on GoUSFBulls.com until June 22, 2009.

Fans can log on to GoUSFBulls.com right now and purchase tickets.  Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis but the seating priority will be given exclusively to season ticket holders, Bulls Club donors and USF alumni.

“The Florida State tickets have moved quickly for the last three weeks and the amount of support made it clear we need to procure additional tickets,” said USF Executive Associate Athletics Director Bill McGillis.  “Based on the fact that the number of tickets requested by our fans during the initial selling period far exceeded the number of tickets available at that time, we expect that these additional 2500 tickets will move very quickly.

“It is clear that Tampa Bay is excited about this matchup and we thank our counterparts at Florida State for their assistance in providing additional tickets for our fan base.”

USF received an initial allotment of 5,000 tickets and received an additional 2,500.

Tickets are $52 each including a $3 Ticketmaster charge.  If you purchase tickets, you will be notified when they can be picked up at the Athletics Ticket Office in the Sun Dome. Tickets may also be mailed for an additional charge.  A signature will be required to receive tickets through the mail.

If you have ticket questions about the Florida State game or any other ticket inquiries,  please call the USF ticket staff Monday-Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 1-800-GoBulls. Information on student tickets to the USF-Florida State game will be announced in the near future. The kickoff time for the Florida State game is yet to be determined and could be announced within 13 days of Sept. 26.

St Pete Times: South Florida Bulls football defensive coordinator Wally Burnham hired by Iowa State

TAMPA — A veteran defensive coordinator, synonymous with a Tampa team’s consistent football success, makes a surprising jump at a new challenge and the rare chance to coach alongside one of his sons.

Much like the Bucs’ Monte Kiffin leaving for Tennessee, defensive coordinator Wally Burnham, a USF assistant for nine seasons, is leaving to take the same job at Iowa State. Joining him in Ames as his defensive tackles coach will be his youngest son, Shane, a defensive assistant at Division I-AA Elon.

Burnham and his wife, Barbara, visited Ames over the weekend, and he accepted Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads’ offer Tuesday morning. The decision to leave USF wasn’t an easy one.

“It was hard, there’s no doubt about it,” Burnham said. “You stay nine years at a place, you’re going to get close to a lot of people, the coaches, players, everyone. You can’t stay nine years at a place and not become a part of it. … We went out there and just had a real good feel for the place. It just seemed like the right thing to do.”

Players were told Tuesday afternoon, and the news was hard to take, All-America defensive end George Selvie said.

“It hit us pretty hard; everybody’s devastated,” Selvie said. “He’s a great person. He wasn’t just your coach, but a friend, a mentor, someone who really cared about you.”

Burnham was the Bulls’ highest-paid assistant, making $220,000 last season, and his departure leaves USF without either coordinator less than three weeks before the start of spring practice. Offensive coordinator Greg Gregory was demoted and subsequently left to become offensive coordinator at South Alabama.
