They tried and it didn’t work out very well for them.
When the Canes came out of the tunnel , they made sure they let the usf players know they were in their way as they made their way onto the field. A bunch of our players made it a point to go through their players rather than around them.
The usf HC should have never let his team post up like that and try and provoke a pre game fight. Which is exactly what they were trying to do. But our players didn’t totally take take the bait and our coaches did a good job of helping to get our guys out of that situation.
Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed because that could have very easily turned into a nasty situation.
I was at the game and what I saw was a bunch of delusional usf fans that really thought they were going to beat us before the game got started and they didn’t take too kindly to us Cane fans when we slowly started taking over the game and taking over their **** hole of a stadium.
Thats when their fans started pulling out the victim card and started complaining that we were being too loud and obnoxious. I even had a usf fan tell me that I was being too loud and he had the nerve to tell me to stop because it was bothering him. He wound up leaving early and we just got louder and louder as the night went on.
USF fans were trying to be loud and boisterous towards a louder and even more boisterous Canes fan base that traveled to Tampa!
Big mistake!!
