The top three goal scorers for USF - more than 100 combined this season! - speak with Darek after Thursday's practice as the Bulls get set for their home finale Saturday at Noon against East Carolina. With a win the Bulls can clinch the regular season conference championship, something only one other program has done in its second Division I season.

FOURTEEN INNINGS - and not just from the softball team... from its ace pitcher Anne Long in a truly classic Sunday. Bulls sweep the series and are alone in first place, and in a nice spot in the computer rankings as a result. Baseball loses its series at UTSA but, considering the Roadrunners have now won their last 16 conference sets, the lone victory might be a springboard. Lacrosse locks up a spot in the conference tournament and is alone in first place.

NOTE - the show was updated late Monday with tennis, golf, track and field and...

Maybe the busiest weekend of the entire USF sports calendar awaits, but before that Darek gives you some football news and intel on the assistant coaches brought on board by Chris Mack for men's basketball.

Two holdovers from the previous Bulls coaching staff speak on being able to return under new Head Coach Brian Hartline - note, Creamer spoke for the first few minutes before Rowe joined in for the bulk of the conversation with local media including our own Joey Johnston and Darek Sharp.

Note - Rowe played football against Danny Verpaele starting at age 9, then both became close friends while at USF, where Rowe actually was a member of the baseball squad.

The former Bull player, and a member of that famous 2007 team, is back on Fowler Avenue - and thrilled to be. Verpaele was an assistant at Army the past three seasons.

Lacrosse goes up against a returning NCAA tourney team Liberty as well. Then Friday both tennis and track kick into action. Darek also recaps how men's golf fared in Arizona. <...

After a walk-off win that wasn't Friday, softball answers with two very critical wins. Lacrosse rolled 21-3 at ODU Saturday before losing an incredibly dramatic one at Richmond Monday that saw the Bulls lead 8-3... then trail 14-10 in the fourth, only to come back and tie. Baseball dropped 2 of 3 but Darek explains why it's not the worse news - and how the Bulls had plenty of company in the top 25. Full standings updates on all the sports along with NCAA outlooks, like for beach volleyball after seeing its win streak end at 11. Men's tennis clutches up for a...

Darek caught up with Bulls senior Regina Plascencia, who in her fourth year (the first three at Georgia Southern) claimed her first individual championship in college - as the Bulls won their first team title in Coach Newell's tenure in Tampa.

A full Wednesday program begins with some big news, as Rob Higgins announces that Kristy Curry - who led Alabama to six NCAA appearances after the Tide had gone more than 20 years without making the tourney, and before that had terrific success at Texas Tech and Purdue (national runner-up) - is the new Head Coach of Women's Basketball.

Zimmerman and Bustamante both hail from Long Island, with Zimmerman in her third year as a Bull after starting off at Colorado while Bustamante is in his first season at USF. Natoli, an every-game starter on D, was originally recruited by Head Coach Mindy McCord to Jacksonville but never played there, choosing to follow McCord after she was named the Bulls' leader.

After telling you about Bryan Hodgson's heading to Providence, Darek gets into all the events of another packed weekend starting with two outstanding performances - by lacrosse to beat perennial NCAA tourney team JMU, and a school record tying 9-under par score turned in by Jackson Spybey as men's golf surged in Georgia.
