Robert H. Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Robert H. Spain

Favorite Athletes

Kasey Keller, Warrick Dunn, Emmitt Smith, Terrell Owens, Peyton Manning, Hope Solo, Bruce Pearl (yes, he's an athlete in my book...), Jerry Rice, Oguchi Onyewu, and I'm starting to follow Rafa Nadal.

All Time Sports Moment

"Five seconds left...Do you believe in miracles?...Yessss!" The 1980 USA Hockey Team.

Most Memorable Game Attended

Watching Michael Johnson become the fastest man in the world at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. I was actually watching from the very top of Fulton County Stadium, but it still counts.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Oklahoma's 47 game winning streak in College Football (1953-1957).

Ruth or Mays?

Mays. He was actually in shape, so I'll give him the nod.

Unitas or Montana?

Coinflip

Pele or Maradona?

Pele...because Maradona cheated ("hand of God").

Jordan or Gretzky?

Jordan...hands down.

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

It depends which sport. But in general I have to lean towards my southern roots and choose the SEC.

    Robert,

    Over in the NFL section, we're trying to put together an "official" Bleacher Report NFL mock draft. We're getting together the best from the NFL section and assigning everyone a team or two (depending on how many people we get). The draft will take place in a chat room set up for us by Zander.

    We could use your college football knowledge to help break down the picks. If you're interested in making a few selections, you could do that as well. But I'd definitely love to have you involved.

    Let me know if you're interested.

    Thanks,
    Sean

    HA HA HAAAAA.... Just catching up on Bleacher Report. I've been busy! But, going through past notes I see you had asked which sites I've been working on.

    Just finished one (have a few pages to finish up) for Oregon and Oregon State fans. It's called Civil War Sports (the rivalry game between these two is called the Civil War). www.CivilWarSports.com

    The other two are actually being revamped from the ground up:

    Robert, did you get a chance to check out the show? If you got past all our talk about WashU basketball (which might I add is one of the best in Division III), we actually talked about some things going on nationally, like the trade deadline. And we didn't even bash the SEC or anything...this time.

    Hey Robert H.,

    I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

    Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Robert H.!

    Zander

    i'm OBSESSED with the color orange. I do take into serious account the colors of a school when evaluating them. for example, it didn't take much thought to U of A because the colors are so classy and well, patriotic. They look good on anyone, much unlike ASU's UGLY UGLY color scheme.

    That's why I'm torn with the Suns- they have orange which is great.. but orange and PURPLE? really?

    I like tenneessee's colors for sure, but too much of it (like the entire orange tuxedo) in that exact shade reminds me of a giant bowl of Kraft macaroni and cheese.

    Texas' orange is lovely, a little burnt and brownish at times, but I'll take it.

    Virginia's is a little darker, and definitely not their first color.

    Oregon State is good- it's a solid orange, not macaroni and not burnt.. and definitely not burnt macaroni because that would start to look like ASU. enough with that school.

    Okay, I could keep going, really. This could be quite the humorous article.

    In conclusion, orange is the greatest color out there.

    R.H. -

    Just wanted to commend you again on the great work on the Ricky Rosas piece. It's been getting a great response from the BR community so far, and it also just got posted up at PeteCarroll.com: http://www.petecarroll.com/index.cfm?pk=viewall&cd=NAA&pid=400654, under the caption "For a good read...". I'm working on spreading it through the rest of the USC blogosphere. Very well done, and looking forward to more like this on "Beyond the Bleachers".
