To the surprise (and glee) of Matt Grothe, Rocky the Bull crashed the wedding of the former USF quarterback (far right, brown tie)

Tack on another title to Rocky the Bull's expansive resume. USF's most distinctive mascot, cheerleader and costumed community ambassador also is a wedding crasher.

Unbeknownst to groom (and ultra-popular ex-Bulls QB) Matt Grothe and bride Alyssa Wright, Rocky entered the couple's reception Saturday in Lithia as the Sugarhill Gang dance anthem "Apache (Jump on It)" blared over the sound system.

Wright's mom, Susan, arranged Rocky's appearance through the school; WTSP news reporter Charles Billi announced his entrance.
