Hello there, back to blogging

After more than a week away from Shootin’ the Bull, I’m back. And like Jason Pierre-Paul, my back hurts.

His back aches from returning to football; mine from some rare physical labor.

I’m no longer a Tallahassean living in part-time in Tampa. There is not a lot to say other than moving really stinks.

Finally back in the Tampa Bay area full-time, I’m officially relaunching my little blog here on tbo.com.

OK, I’m done. That statement should suffice. The blog is officially relaunched.

I plan to have some sort of summer contest that I’ll post on here soon, but for now, a few tidbits from the headlines today:

USF lost out to Marquette for coveted 6-foot-8 center Davante Gardner of King’s Fork (Va.) High.

“I liked the atmosphere there and all the people up there,’’ Gardner told the Suffolk (Va.) News-Herald. “It’s a whole lot of stress off me.’’

For more on this story, click here to read about Gardner’s decision.

USF has officially responded to former football coach Jim Leavitt’s lawsuit, filing a motion to dismiss the complaint. I’ll have more on this in Wednesday’s Tampa Tribune.

Anyway, when I returned to work today I had more than 500 e-mails to decipher. I noticed several are from regular readers of the blog and newspaper. I promise to respond to them all and thanks for checking in.

Glad to be back.
