About Brad »

I believe there are only two essential things for sports writing ability. They are a vast knowledge of things most human beings care little about and an abundance of free time. Luckily I usually have both working for me. I attend Boston College and write for the sports section of The Heights on campus. I'm from New Jersey though and also root hard for the Yankees, Giants and Knicks.

Hey Brad—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Satire page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

B-Rad,

Hope all is well. On my blog (franktherber.blogspot.com), we are coming up with a preseason All-America team. I would love to see who you think deserves each spot. Below the post where I describe what we are doing and how we will tally the votes, submit your preseason team by clicking on "(number of comments) Comments." It will then take you to a page where you can type your lineup. Hit me up with any questions.

Thanks,

Frank

Deathly, I'm optimistic but I've seen Bunting pull this stuff for too many years now. The only difference is I believe Butch, Bunting...not so much. Also everyone in our division is pretty much in rebuilding mode, Vtech reloading, Miami very young, virginia isnt what they were last year, Duke with a new coach, and gtech with a new coach so who knows!

Brad,

I will be starting a blog up tomorrow, and will provide you with the url. Feel free to visit and comment on my write-ups, and please tell others on here in order to spread the word. I think this can be a neat thing with college football approaching and the big time college basketball recruiting going on.

Thanks,

Frank
