I'm going to save everything that is specific to USF football for another Bull-ogosphere later this week. Then the Bull-ogosphere will be replaced by the daily camp updates, followed by daily or near-daily posts during the season.

Anyway, on to the links.

Big East's Top 10 Storylines to Watch in Fall Practice | AthlonSports.com

Ranking the Big East's Basketball Coaches | AthlonSports.com
There are a lot of good coaches in the Big East, but putting Stan Heath 14th out of 15 still seems low. Then again, Athlon had Rick Barnes in their top 30 nationally. I'm not even sure Rick Barnes is a top 30 coach in the Big XII.

USF Night With Rays Set for Saturday - GoUSFBulls.com
You can buy tickets from the Rays for either lower or upper reserved seats, and you get your choice of a dark blue or a white Rays/USF hat. This is going to be a big series against the Orioles, so even if you don't go to support USF, go to support the home team. (And can someone get me one of the white hats, please? Thank you.)
