On a recent road trip to see the Tampa Bay Rowdies play, Ralph’s Mob members were harassed by New York Cosmos fans. When the members of the Rowdies’ independent supporter group voiced their concerns to the league office, the response from commissioner Bill Peterson was, “Go watch another league.” According to Charlie Cole, a member
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel announced on Thursday the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy and the United States Military Academy would play their football games for the remainder of October, regardless of what happens with the government shutdown. The three schools are able to continue playing football because their football programs are not paid
It’s been a long time coming. It wasn’t a full 60-minute effort for the South Florida Bulls. They played well in stretches but ultimately it came down to survival in their 26-20 win against the Cincinnati BearCats. “It’s about putting together four quarters of winning football,” head coach Willie Taggart said. “Our guys don’t give

If someone said South Florida wouldn’t roll over McNeese St. in the same way schools like Florida and Ohio St. destroy FCS schools in week one they wouldn’t have been far off. Last season, the Bulls struggled in beating Tennessee-Chatanooga. But the idea they would be down 33-7 after 30 minutes would never have gotten
When it comes to the new pier we are beyond talking about the condition of the old inverted pyramid or the necessity of a new one. Like a married couple, the citizens of St. Pete are arguing about how it will look and how much it will cost. At the heart of of the issue
Entering last Saturday’s match with the Atlanta Silverbacks, Tampa Bay Rowdies goalkeeper Andrew Fontein had not allowed a goal this season. Not a bad start, considering the first two games of the spring season were also the first of his career. Fontein’s shutout streak lasted for 202 minutes before Atlanta’s Rubén Luna tied Saturday’s match
Before he attacked the Boston Marathon, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the suspected terrorists, wrote on the Internet that he had no American friends and didn’t understand them.
