It's time to be Wild About the Bulls at the University of South Florida homecoming, SuperBull XII.

The celebration starts with Charit-a-Bull, which aims to create about a 100 sculptures from canned food that will be given to Metropolitan Ministries.

Saturday kicks off with the Bulls Roast brunch, when about 2,000 are expected to gather at Raymond James Stadium. The Bulls' football team takes on the Syracuse Orangemen at noon.

The festivities include several student competitions.

Students got a head start this weekend when they visited about 20 nearby businesses to paint the windows in Bulls colors and logos in the "Paint the Town Green & Gold Contest."
