University of South Florida vs. Wofford football

For those of you who might like a taste of images and thoughts from around the world of college football (not just my admittedly, sometimes Big 12 biased slant), I offer you Mr. Jason Roberts.  Jason, my friend and colleage has graciously agreed to allow me to share with you the sights and scenes he partook in on this opening weekend of the college football season at the University of South Florida.  For more coverage of Florida-area sports, please visit Mr. Roberts’ website at www.prismpressgroup.org.

Florida weather looked men­ac­ing as ever with just 45 min­utes remain­ing before the kick­off of the 2009 col­lege foot­ball sea­son for the Uni­ver­sity of South Florida Bulls, but even a short down­pour couldn’t keep an ever-increasing stu­dent fan base from crowd­ing into the stands behind the North end­zone, with bod­ies adorned in green and gold body paint and voices car­ry­ing loudly through­out the expanses of Ray­mond James Sta­dium in antic­i­pa­tion of USF’s first game of the year against the Wof­ford Terriers.

PRISM Press Group founder and lead con­trib­u­tor Jason Roberts was one of two indi­vid­u­als down on the field dur­ing pre-game fes­tiv­i­ties in order to cap­ture images high­light­ing the build­ing antic­i­pa­tion sur­round­ing the promise of a new foot­ball sea­son, and here offers an exten­sive photo jour­nal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of one of the Big East conference’s most promi­nent pro­grams, in all its glory and grandeur.

As always, please note that all pho­tographs remain the sole prop­erty of Jason Roberts and may not be repro­duced with­out Jason’s explicit per­mis­sion. Such requests, along with ques­tions or com­ments regard­ing this piece, may be for­warded to Jason directly at jason@prismpressgroup.org.
