Remember me?
Hey, folks, I'm back from an extended vacation and plan on being around for the next nine months or so to take you through football and basketball season.
Lots of things happened since I was gone, including Luc Richard Mbah a Moute remaining in the NBA draft, football commits Myron Pollard and Byron Moore Jr. de-commiting, quarterback Kevin Prince officially enrolling at UCLA, OL Greg Capella committing to UCLA, JUCO OL Josh Edwards saying he will attend UCLA if he gets the neccessary grades in summer school and projected starting right tackle Sean Sheller injuring his knee and being out for the season.
Oh, and there was also hoops coach Ben Howland getting another raise and also landing Brendan Lane for the 2009 class.
Anyway, it's nice to be back.

This is 

Brian who?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but thank God you are back, Dohn. The blog is boring without you at the helm.
Please no updates on Track & Field, Olympics, Rose Bowl sit-a-thons, or MLB all-stars. Jill gave us plenty of that already.
Welcome back, friend.....
Welcome back Brian! Hope Mom and Baby are doing well. Jill Painter did a wonderful job filling in for you.
welcome back, Jill did great. there are some of us who do not mind updates on other sports like track and field, olympics, baseball, etc. so keep those coming too. thanks
Your writing style is oddly familiar, stranger. Who are you again?
Although Jill did a great job in your absence, I missed the east coast sarcasm. Welcome back and hope all is good with the fam.
Don't listen to those other guys, I'm really the one that has your best interests at heart. I love to hear the UCLA/Olympics news, so for the next two months or so, keep us up to date.
It'll be nice to have more than a couple updates a day again, so I am glad you're back.
Finally, I hope all is well with the new addition to the family and that you are all doing fantastic.
Welcome back, Dohn!
Welcome back, Brian! I have three little girls, ages 7, 8 and 10. The baby years were a little difficult, but it gets better and better every year. I think you made a wise decision to be with your family during this special time.
Welcome back. Nothing wrong with other Bruin athletics as long as it does not compromise football news. Jill did well.
Welcome back, Brian! This is the longest month of the year - great to have you back to help fill it with the latest Bruins news! Looking forward to seeing you in Tempe at Thanksgiving time, I hope. - barry
