First, I want to say hello to Bucs Dugout. I’m the new Managing Editor and just want to introduce myself. I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and I graduated from Pitt. Though I moved away for about a decade after college, I found myself back home when it was time to raise a family, as many Pittsburghers who move away initially do (there’s no place like home!).
I’ve been with SB Nation for six years now and also currently serve as Managing Editor of The Dream Shake, which covers the Houston Rockets. Growing up here in the ‘Burgh without a NBA team in town, I fell in love with Hakeem Olajuwon back in 1986 and have been a fan ever since.
