South Florida Strong - Powered by Alumni

– by Joel Raney

Welcome to South Florida Strong!

I have been a passionate USF fan since attending my first football game as a freshman in 2006 when tickets were free and the legend Matt Grothe walked onto the field for the first time.  I witnessed the fad of the Grohawk, watched us sell out Raymond James, and I was even one of the first students to rush the field in 2007 when we upset West Virgina.  I held up signs like "Moffit is a Monster" in the stands with my friends and enjoyed seeing George Selvie get to quarterbacks faster than they could hike the ball.  I also endured the grueling He Who Shall Not Be Named era after the Slapgate Scandal that took the great Jim Leavitt from us.  After graduating in 2010 I have become even more involved with USF through their alumni association and two of my other companies have actually been named to their USF Fast 56 List multiple years for the fastest growing companies led by USF Bulls.  I also recently joined on as an official Iron Bull with USF athletics.  A goal of mine has always been to provide a high quality product of apparel for the real USF fans out there that know the players' names on the teams, that have walked on the campus wanting to wear USF gear and have actually attended the games.  After a very long process I was fully approved to make official apparel for USF and with a few other South Florida alumni, we are proud to launch this new business, South Florida Strong.  We are not a national brand that is just adding USF apparel options to their website to generate more traffic and sales, we are a USF apparel ONLY website that is founded and run by actual graduates of USF.  You won't ever find another schools gear on this website and we guarantee that.  This a business focused on giving USF fans top quality products that they have long deserved and will be proud to wear.  Please share your Bull Pride with us by tagging us on social media wearing our gear and as always, GO BULLS!
