A couple days ago, Tampa International Airport tweeted out their support for USF Athletics and their quest to join the Big 12. As seen below:
We support @USFAthletics in its quest to join the @Big12Conference. It's time, and we're ready. Go Bulls! #Big12

This particular tweet got me thinking. Two Twitter accounts who have little in common wishing the other the best of luck. To me, it sounded a lot like the USA's Big 4/5 sports teams wishing US Soccer "Good Luck" before their major tournaments. The bulk of these tweets occurred before the USMNT took the pitch for the 2014 World Cup.

So as I said before, it got me thinking. Specifically, what would it look like if that was more centralized, say to the Tampa Bay community and their support of USF Athletics in the Big 12?
We're gonna take a look.
Over the next couple weeks I will post images that "display" LOCAL teams/businesses/organizations showing their support for USF Athletics. Some may be funny, some may be obvious, but no matter what I hope they shed light on just how great this community is.
I couldn't figure out (didn't have time) how to upload images to this, so I just created a Twitter and I'll embed the tweet from there.
First up, Tampa International Airport. Combining air and sea for a perfect match. Displaying both our world-class airport and competitive sailing team.
