Be ahead of the curve as you follow USF sports, so you won't be surprised when the Bulls are The Next Big Thing in college athletics. As a sports reporter/columnist at The Tampa Tribune, Joe was there for USF football's birth and Bulls basketball's growth. He has the sources and institutional knowledge to tell fans what they want to know, and that's because he is a fan, too. Joe has numerous state and national writing and reporting awards and has been featured as a trusted, knowledgable source in ESPN documentaries and other local outlets. When not watching the Bulls, Joe will tend to his fantasy football team, the MoJoeMen. He is also a closet Cincinnati Bengals fan.
