Get excited bulls — the first ever annual USF St. Get excited bulls — the first ever annual USF St. Petersburg Balloon Drop is here! 

When the clock struck 7:50 p.m. Friday of the first week on campus, students on the first floor of Lynn Pippenger Hall were overflowing in balloons and excitement for the fall semester. 

The tradition is a first for USF St. Pete, with USF Tampa being the campus to originally host it. It is a way for bulls to build their school spirit and start the year with confidence. 

The night was a night to remember. Students and staff all came together to celebrate the beginning of the 2026 school year. 

Providing entertainment was a DJ, Rocky D. Bull, the USF SunDolls, and the All-Girls cheerleading team. Spirit games were also played on stage that gave out prizes to students who wore the most USF swag or won a game of “Guess that Tune”. 

Many speakers took the stage to preach bull pride, including the USF St. Pete Student Government. 

The last speaker was USF St. Pete’s newest president himself, President Moez Limayem. He gave away T-shirts and hosted a raffle for four $500 dollar scholarships to be given out to students in the crowd. 

Limayem started the countdown for the drop, with every student turning their attention toward the massive nets filled with green, white, and gold balloons on the roof of the building. 

The excitement continued at “The Balloon Drop After Party” located at the Edge which was hosted by Student Government. The new tradition marks a stronger school spirit for the USF St. Pete campus.

After three straight days inside, the Buccaneers w After three straight days inside, the Buccaneers were back outdoors Thursday for another day
of padded work at One Buc Place.

The defense once again stole the show.

David Walker continued his impressive camp, making an impact in the backfield throughout
practice and finishing with a would-be sack and a fumble recovery on the final play. Head coach
Todd Bowles praised Walker’s athleticism and speed as he continues returning from a torn ACL.

Josiah Trotter also made one of the biggest plays of the day, stopping Cade Otton short on
fourth down during the two-minute drill.

Meanwhile, the Bucs' run game continued to struggle, with most rushing concepts getting
stuffed at the line. The defense also made an impact in the screen game, including Rueben
Bain Jr., who blew up a Bucky Irving screen.

Emeka Egbuka returned to team drills, while Tez Johnson, Jalen McMillan, Alex Anzalone,
Tristan Wirfs and Vita Vea remained out of team work.

A rainy Sunday forced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ins A rainy Sunday forced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside the Adventhealth Training Center for their fourth day of training camp. It was a tough start to the week as the team prepares to begin practicing in full gear this week. 

The defense dominated the whole practice with constant pressure on the quarterbacks. Buccaneers starter Baker Mayfield attempted to connect on a deep pass play to Jalen McMillan, but he was intercepted by Antoine Winfield Jr. Ifeatu Melifonwu contributed to another takeaway after he pressured a pass from Jake Browning. The passing game was hard-pressed, with players like David Walker, Rueben Bain Jr., Yaya Diaby, Al-Quadin Muhammad, and Chris Braswell getting would-be sacks. 

Some players shining in this practice include linebacker Caden Fordham, who recorded a sack and broke up a probable touchdown pass during red zone practice. In terms of offensive players, David Sills V had a great day. He tallied three touchdowns, including a long catch-and-run, and scored his other two during red zone practice reps.
