Rocky D. Bull
The official ‘live’ mascot of USF Athletics can be found stampeding up and down the sidelines of just about every sport.
Herd of Thunder
USF’s Marching Band, the Herd of Thunder (HOT), first took to the field at the football season home opener against Southwest Texas State on September 11, 1999. Their unique entrance to the field began as a running “stampede” and the tradition has continued ever since. Their songs create an exciting atmosphere during USF Athletic events.
The Bull
Confused by many as the fight song of USF, “The Bull” is a rally cry for fans to get on their feet and start circling the Go Bulls hand symbol
March Victorious
March Victorious is played at different times during USF football and basketball games, including after every touchdown by the USF football team.
USF Fight Song
USF Bulls are we, We hold our standard upright and free. For Green and Gold we stand united. Our beacon lighted and noble to see. USF Bulls are we, For USF will always be. With all our might we fight the battle here and now, and we will win the victory! (shout!) S-O-U-T-H F-L-O-R-I-D-A South Florida, South Florida, Go Bulls!
Alma Mater
Hail to Thee, our Alma Mater May thy name be told, Where above thy gleaming splendor, Waves the green and gold. Thou our guide in quest for knowledge. Where we all are free University of South Florida, Alma Mater, Hail to thee! Be our guide in truth and wisdom As we onward go, May thy glory, fame and honor Never cease to grow; May our thoughts and prayers be with thee through eternity, University of South Florida, Alma Mater, Hail to thee!
