Blogging live from state football media days ...

JULY 17, 2008

Perhaps the official start of college football season for me is the first preseason media gathering, and this year, it's the Florida Sports Writers Association's College Football Media Days, which brings all the head coaches in the state to Tampa to meet with reporters about the season ahead.

USF coach Jim Leavitt is due up at 9 a.m., and he did make it to Tampa after taking an overnight flight from Los Angeles, where the ESPY Awards were taped Wednesday night. Florida coach Urban Meyer took the same trip and is leading off the morning as I type this.

We'll have any news from Leavitt and should be able to get a transcript up this morning, and I'll share a link to a story from the front page of today's Sports section, writing about how USF football is in a different place this summer after the wild ride of its 2007 season. More to come ...
