Allen Kenney

1 - Allen Kenney

 

Writer bio

Growing up in college football hotbed Oklahoma in the '80s in a home split along Bedlam lines, Allen Kenney's pro-OU dad got to him first. Despite lighting out for school in the college football wasteland of the Northeast at the age of 18, his passion for the game never waned. After graduating from Villanova University in 2001, Allen bumped around the country for a bit before settling temporarily in Chicago to complete a master's degree in journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. Since then, he has worked as a writer and investigative reporter in Washington, D.C., and recently completed a part-time MBA program at The George Washington University School of Business.

Allen's blog, Blatant Homerism, follows the college football world at large, with an...

Writer bio

My name is Bryan Waters. It was clear to me that by high school, I hadn't received much fruit from the tree of athletic ability. Thankfully, my Dad taught me the maxim, "The pen is mightier than the sword." So I threw down the baseball bat and picked up a writing utensil.

I turned to writing for the school newspaper and yearbook, mostly covering sports at the then-biggest high school in the United States.

Now, 28 years after walking the plank of my high school graduation, I've returned to a first love: Sports writing.

OU Sooner faithful, don't hold it against me that I graduated from the University of Texas. Hey, in an English class at UT, I was taught that the word "out" contains both "ou" and "ut" and "ou" always comes first!

Writer bio

Born in Omaha, Nebraska in 1983. While I only lived there four years, the family brainwashing took full effect, and I've come to care about Nebraska football above pretty much everything except God and my family. Someone who isn't a Husker fan wouldn't understand the passion I have for them, though I'm sure a few SEC fans would beg to differ. College football is the best sport on earth, and in my opinion, nothing else comes close. If I could bottle the air on a late-autumn Saturday and wear it as cologne, I would.

I lived in Iowa for 10 years before moving to Bloomington, Minnesota, which is where I currently reside. I graduated from Bethel University with a history degree (which turns out is basically a $30,000 piece of toilet paper). I also played football there for two years as a...
