I am an old school Alabama fan. I live, eat, and sleep college football. I played the game, so I know a little about the sacrifices these kids have to make. I have been involved with Alabama football since Bear Bryant's glory days. I have witnessed Alabama winning 7 National Championships..

When I die I plan to have my ashes spread over Bryant-Denny stadium. I only ask that I live long enough to see Alabama win another national championship. It's beginning to look like my days are numbered!

I have been banned from AuburnUndercover, TigerDroppings, Gatorenvy and Volnation apparently for just telling it like it is...

I have two great passions in my life: My family and Georgia Bulldog football. In the "offseason", between January and August, I entertain myself with things like Braves baseball, national signing day, and the NFL Draft. However, it's all just a way to kill time until I can watch football again; there is no sport greater in my opinion. Go Dawgs!!!

College football is a great way to pass time and I love the drama. With that in mind, I try to keep it all in perspective. I love to listen to Rivals Radio (Bill King), only read the paper for sports and absolutely love the Crimson Tide.

Times have been tough since Stallings let go of the reins but Nick Saban is the perfect fit for Alabama and kudos to Mal for a good choice.

Love the Atlanta Braves, NE Patriots, Baltimore Ravens D, Peyton Manning fan (Eli too) and all SEC competitions. I will even watch a swim meet or tennis match if it is SEC. My wife loves...

I'm Alex, I'm from London, and I have a job as a journalist. About insurance. If there's anything that can drive the person truly mad, it's years of writing about insurance. Trust me. I know.
But my biggest love is sports. In the UK I love my soccer teams, but I have my big American passions: baseball and football. Sure, I can deal with the odd NBA game and March Madness, as well as a bit of the NFL, but give me Ken Griffey's swing and a Penn State White Out any day of the week.
So here I am. I have a blog - The View From North America - http://viewfromnorthamerica.blogspot.com that I hope you'll look at at some point.
Oh, and I also have a column on the UK's biggest commercial website, Sky Sports. Here's the link: http://www.skysports.com/opinion/0,25219,16560,00.html

I have been following college football, specifically Auburn football, since 1994. I was a co-host and eventually host of a sports talk show called "The Dream" on WEGL 91.1 FM for two and a half years. I am just an amateur sports guy, and I always have an opinion on what is going on in the world of sports. My opinion is usually never "objective and un-biased." I'm a fan first, and one is to never forget that in the world of sports. Feel free to contact me at any time at P_Tiger_scrug@yahoo.com.

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 just recently received my Masters degree form Cal State Northridge and am considering the pursuit of my PHD in social studies/history. Along the way, I have developed a passion for USC football, which I have followed for more than twenty years. In a somewhat less myopic state of mind, I also follow all things college football and most sports in general. My other passion is politics and I am very involved in following the day to day workings of the Washington DC movers and shakers. Now single after my ex-fiance got smart, I have decided that my next relationship will be with a woman who matches my interests or can share me with the things I love. In the meantime, I will get along following the things that make me happy.

I am a lifelong sports fan, especially college football and basketball. I am a writer for titletownfl.com and fireoleary.com I also enjoy NASCAR, the NBA, MLB and the NFL.

I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida. I believed the lie that a college degree would open doors. Little did I know it was the door to the poor house. Oh well. Just wait until the try and collect on those student loans. LOL.

I am thankful that I grew up when I did. I lived through the hard times of being a fan of the Gators. And I am now enjoying the good times. And hopefully I am young enough to enjoy living in the past when this era is a couple of decades old. My kids are going to be spoiled. They've never known UF to not be a dominant program. My dad is enjoying the good times now, but for ho...

I've recently retired from school (UF class of 2009!), although I plan on following the path of Favre and staying in half–decent shape in case I want to come back.

If you have reached this page because you're a Florida Gators football fan, hi, I'm one of your new featured columnists.

I write mini-articles. Some call them Notrcles; I prefer to think of them as test articles, testicles if you will. I once asked a coworker if I could show her my testicles. That got me fired from my last job.

Born and raised in the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee. Grew up bleeding orange and hating crimson. I did a short stint in the service where I developed bad ankles and acquired a passion for writing. I will note that ability and passion are two very different things. I live within shouting distance of the Falcons training facility, quietly hoping they do something noble to make me like them more. I share my home with my wife, three kids and a very large wolfhound. When I'm not playing mister mom I read the sport pages and write stories for my kids. I don't have anything published nor have I tried but they like em' and that's enough.

Hello everybody, I'm Trey Jones - a balding, 40-ish, sports fan who can die happy now that the Gators have a a few national championships to brag about.

Yep, I'm a Gator fan (have been for decades) but didn't attend UF because my Father insisted that I go to school out of state... SOOOO... instead of me going to Gatorland for next to nothing he paid big bucks for me to go to SMU in the early 80's... Yes, I actually saw DickerJames in action! However, rumors of "other" issues leading to the NCAA instigating the Death Penalty soured me on my alma mater... Sad story.

Oh, most every male in my family (except me) went to UF... the women in my family attended.... FSU... one was even a cheerleader. Thanksgiving is a mess at our house... One thing we have in common - Miami...

Tom Kessler believes that it's bad luck to be superstitious.

He is unapologetically apologetic.

Kessler prints all his black and white photos in color and will kill anyone who challenges his pacifism. He gets strange looks at traffic lights with NPR's "All Things Considered" thumping from his sound system.

Kessler has an unusually large "personal space" requirement…and if someone invades his space, he'll start talking like Richard Simmons very loudly.

Kessler lives in Central Florida, and is an alumnus of The University of Florida. He spent 15 years working for The Walt Disney World Resort including a four year stint in production at The ESPN Club. While there, Kessler had the opportunity to meet many high profile athletes. His conclusions? They all make...

My love of the game came from watching Monday night football with my dad and going to Bama games during the end of the Bryant era when my older sister was at Alabama. I played high school football myself and wanted to play in college but wasn't recruited. I enrolled at Alabama at only 17 years old in 1984 and was still developing physically. I decided to walk on the football team once but got very ill before winter training and had to drop out. I started playing rugby for Alabama that fall to get into shape for another shot but wound up getting seriously injured doing that so at that point I had to just stick to the books and be a fan.

Today I make my living as a computer programmer and live in Argo Alabama.

Born and raised on Alabama football. I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on the subject of college football. The venues, the coaches, the players, the history...I love it all. It is my number 1 source of entertainment.

When it's not college football season, it's recruting, then spring training. When I'm not doing something relating to college football, I am either working, sleeping, or spending time with my family.

This guy is obsessed you say? You may be right. But that's just the way it is. The worse part is that everyone that is closest to me is the same way.

I'm a teacher, caddy, writer, and daddy.

There are three deep cuts in my heart. My sports heart.

1976. Final Four. A Jersey-boy roots for Rutgers. I'd graduate from RU fourteen-years later.

1977. The Sun Bowl. From snowy New Jersey, that same Jersey-boy would watch the orange-helmeted University of Florida Gators play Texas A&amp;M. I'd leave my heart in Gainesville as an undergraduate.

My whole life. New York is the baseball capital of the country. Born and raised in New Jersey, I had no choice. The Yankees were offered to me. They stuck.

And to this day, I die hard for all three teams. I'd been scarred.

A lot has happened since I last entered the Bleacher Report arena. Because of these events I, like the great Brett Favre, have also considered retirement. But the closer it gets to football season, the stronger the itch becomes to return to what was a great run among BabyTate's "Losers" and the weekly edition of my SEC Football Outlook articles.

Just to let everyone know that I am still alive, and how alive I really am, I'll briefly recap the events that have unfolded in my life during the past 6 months.

First, my wife and I purchased our first home. It was a long grueling process, but our prayers were answered after two months of negotiations.

The day we moved in, June 12, was also another big day for us. You see we had been praying about and working toward something...

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....
