Remember the breakfast with Tom columns?  Those were the best.

Indeed they were. He actually wrote what he ate for breakfast LOL. Great column and memories.

Way back in the early 1970s when I was a student at UF, I rode a Greyhound or Trailways bus home from Gainesville one Friday afternoon, and Tom McEwen just happened to be on the bus too and he sat in seat next to me on way down to downtown Tampa bus station. He'd been at  UF that morning doing sports stuff and I think he told me he didn't like driving a car too much. He talked sports with me  and was  pleasant during the ride.  Back then I think the only college football programs in Florida were UF, FSU, FAMU, Miami, Bethune Cookman, and Tampa.  I always enjoyed reading Tom's sports column in Tampa Tribune.

That is great story and memory to have.

If our fan base demanded better coverage, we'd get a better beat writer. Our local fan base is rather quiet on multiple fronts. It's as simple as that. :ph34r:

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "For me, I never considered it that way (as a stepping stone), honestly. When I was offered the head job at South Florida, and I'm sincere about this, I never thought I would ever go anywhere."
