Traditions


“Go Bulls” Hand Symbol- First started as a good luck symbol for basketball free-throw shots, the “Go Bulls!” hand symbol is now used as the premier symbol of USF cheering and greetings.


Green and Gold Guys -The Green and Gold Guys and their painted bodies first appeared in 2000 as the crazy spirit idea of two freshman students. The Green and Gold guys are at all home football and basketball games and even make road game appearances. In 2003, a second painted group of students, calling themselves The Beef Studs, also took to USF spirit duty.
