Gruden on ESPN, me on radio

SEPTEMBER 28, 2007

A little help for Bucs coach Jon Gruden, who gets to introduce USF's starting lineups on ESPN2's broadcast tonight: it's GROWTH-ee (how does this still get butchered?), and CLEE-bert (from his family's roots in Haiti, it probably should be cle-BEAR, but it's not how he says it) and BOO-ee (Pam Ward, you listen up, too).

And for you folks not already at the game: I'll be on USF's pregame radio show around 6:30 p.m. on 970 AM, and I'll be on Sportsline Radio West Virginia around 6:50 p.m. (listen at sportslineradio.com).

I'm getting an odd flurry of live-mascot e-mails today. There's no live bull. USF folks shelved that for at least a year, unable to answer all their logistical concerns before the season. Boosters are more than gracious in donating a bull that would be used, but if there's a threat of injury to anyone on the field, it's going to be hard for USF administrators to sign off on it.

Questions? Thoughts? I'll be back once I'm over at Raymond James Stadium ...
