Is this the right link to the USF page? Why do they even bother having a USF web page? Do they ever update it? Greg does a lot of good work and they ignore it. Stupid.

It's contains links to recent Bull's articles.  Hey, there's even a link to SouthFloridaBulls.com and the BullsPen.

Seems harsh to blast the SPT when they have stepped up their coverage of USF sports, and their beat writer's blogs essentially fullfills a free premium service.

The only legitimate knock is the lack of road game coverage for basketball and football.

Guys, you're absolutely right about the Bulls page. It's nearly random whether a USF story makes it onto that page or not. It's been my No. 1 pet peeve for a long time, so you're preaching to the choir a bit by telling me.

Best thing you can do -- anytime you have a comment about USF coverage, good or bad -- is send an e-mail to sptsnews@sptimes.com. I can complain all day, but sometimes it's more effective if you guys say the same things.

Cyber, what's wrong with the road football coverage? We've had a beat writer at every game as far as I know, certainly in my two years on the beat ...

Greg,

Before you started covering the Bulls I used to write and complain about something almost eceryday. You do such a good job that I haven't had to complain in a long time. I know its not you fault/responsibility to update that page. Its a shame to waste all of you good work and that was my point. I will drop a line. Perhaps a sponsorship of a USF web page would some programmer time devoted to updating it. I'll see what I can do . . . . .

Thanks again for the good work. Not since Sharron Ginn have I been so pleased with the USF reporting.

thanks. I actually traded e-mails with Sharon just last week. Small world: she covered UT coach Joe Urso when he was a minor-leaguer in the Angels minor-league system and she was a reporter in Riverside, California. Was just telling me what a great quote he was back then, well-liked enough that the Lake Elsinore Storm retired his jersey. Sounds like Prado has a good sense of humor about him too, though ...
