AKA Pete. Call me Pete, Mist, or whatever else.
Pro sports are good: Dodgers, Lakers, and Raiders
College football is my passion -- USC, TCU, and BYU. Since BYU and USC already had some writers, I thought I needed to cover TCU, though I still like to write about college football in the West in general. I hate the BCS in general and really would love a college football playoff....
My article http://bleacherreport.com/articles/258746-contenders-or-pretenders-what-we-learned-week-three was featured on the CBS Sports College Football front page.

And thanks for the POTD votes.

Writer bio
I am a recent graduate of the University of Utah, but ironically I am a lifelong BYU sports fan.
Simply put, I am a sports fan.
My friend Jake and I created a blog about sports in our spare time http://thebigpodcast.blogspot.com/ .
We podcast and write about different sports stories; focusing the bulk of our attention on Mountain West Conference sports, and the Utah Jazz. Yet, we also like to look at different relevant national sports stories.
I like to hear different opinions from people, and I am willing to debate different sports topics with anybody.

I love college sports. Need I say more?
Ok well I will. I am a Oregon Duck fan first and foremost. I am not a conference cheerleader but I will defend the Pac 10 when people down talk it without reason. I love college football. I read a handful of preseason magazines every summer. I have 5 tv's in my living room through football season so that I don't miss very much. I like to travel around to the differnent college stadiums as well, no matter who is playing. I have been to 9 college stadiums in the last 5 years.
I also like college basketball, but not to the extent of football. I do my best to follow lacrosse, track, baseball, softball, cross country, gymnastics and as many other college sports as I can.
If it seems like it has been a while since I have written anythin...

5 - Chris Golightly
Writer bio
My name is Chris, and I love sports.
I was born and raised in Las Vegas, and I attended UNLV. I generally write about the Rebels, and the Mountain West Conference, as a featured columnist here at the Bleacher Report.
I love basketball. I love football. I love volleyball.
Currently I work as a financial services representative at a credit union. It'll do for now.
My goal is to eventually become the greatest and most influential sportswriter of all time.
I'd settle for being able to earn a living covering sports.
I'd like nothing more than to someday be able to spend my time in a gym or near a field somewhere, tapping away at the keys on my laptop.
If you'd like to make my dream come true, feel free to contact me.

Writer bio
My names is James "Jimmy" Crytzer and I am 22 years old and a recent graduate of Middle Tennessee State University. If you have not heard of this school, well you are like 97% of the United States. I am from Knoxville but currently reside in Nashville. I have lived all over the United States and seen the best and worst of sports. Best: Denver Bronco's Fans, Worst: New Orleans Saints teams during the 90's.
I am a huge Baltimore Ravens fan and I look forward to when the Black and Purple take on the Black and Gold of Pittsburgh. I still cant believe the AFC championship run the Ravens made with a rookie Quarterback and Head Coach.
I am a proud alumnus of Alpha Tau Omega, and would love to be able to go back as a successful radio personality. I love my Blue Raiders o...

Writer bio
I am a big Utah fan. Adding TCU to the conference not only has given us a chance to watch the Utes in person every other year but I get to cheer against them twice (having attended SMU also). A holiday tradition of ours is to try to make a Utah bowl game whenever possible (with the exception of the games in California). If SMU ever goes to a bowl game, (25 years and waiting) I have a standing promise to my wife that we will go.
Utah bowl games we have attended:
2003 Liberty Bowl
2005 Fiesta Bowl
2006 Armed Forces Bowl
2009 Sugar Bowl

Writer bio
I am a sports addict. I spend a minimum 6-8 hours a day reading or playing sports. It is a sickness that I never want to be cured of.
I love a good debate with intelligent people. No one is ever 100% right, especially when it comes to sports.

Writer bio
Hello all who may read this which is probably not to many, but i'll do it anyways. My name is Paul I'm a student in Cincinnati. I love sports, playing and watching. I have been told I know to much about to many sports many times in my life, but what can you do. I love the offseason just as much as the actual season of almost any sports. Nothing like anticipating and speculating whats up next for your team. I personally am more of a fan of collegite sports than Pro. College Football is my love, but college basketball is right behind it. I think thats it for now if you need to know anything else well just let me know!
