The Orlando Sentinel columnist David Whitley, unintentionally earning a motivational game-ball for his bull-riding photo and column last week leading up to USF's 64-12 win against Central Florida, follows up with a fun mea culpa column Tuesday, offering to wear any other opponent's colors the rest of the year for the Bulls. "Few things would be more fun than watching USF crash the haughty BCS Ball, so I'm officially jumping on the Bullwagon," he writes.

Funny thing is, USF coach Jim Leavitt, in showing his players the pic of Whitley riding the Bull, apparently didn't tell them the context. "I think it was just some fan, some random fan or whatever, who did that," defensive tackle Richard Clebert told the Sentinel. "That really ticked me off." The Sentinel's Mike Bianchi had harsh words for the Knights in Sunday's paper after the "embarrassing" loss.
