(PRNewsChannel) / December 11, 2009 / Tampa, Fla. / The Hillsborough county passport office saw the running of the bulls Thursday. More than 150 University of South Floridastudents and staff applied for expedited passports. The football team hopes to travel to Toronto at the end of the month after being selected for the International Bowlin Toronto.
"We did not know until Sunday, when the decision was made, that that was where we were going," said Patrick Burnham, assistant director of USF football operations. "A lot of the kids, and even myself, don't have a passport, so we are down here (at a passport office) trying to get everyone legal and ready to cross the border."
The passport process typically takes about six to eight weeks, but the clerk's office agreed to expedite the process. The clerk's office shipped the applications to Miami for final approval. There is still no guarantee the team will have the passports in time.
The USF Bulls are slated to play the Northern Illinois Huskies in the International Bowl, which will be held on January 2nd.
