Here's my first shot at a "soccer" article: Would love to hear your comments:

you're not the first to think there's a sport management/administration degree at the devil spawn school in tempe, but there really isn't. they have kinesiology which is more science based muscle movement, and parks and tourism management.. I just looked it up because I wanted to make sure I was still correct.

I'd still never ever dream-for a nano second- of going there. I'd rather go to UNC.. well ANY school reasonable warm that ISN'T aswho. eww.

Update though: I applied to 6 schools and got into Long Beach State so far. Gotta keep waiting (hopefully not longer than a month) until I receive word from the others.

How are you doing? how's your sports teams doing lately?

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:

Thanks for the heads up, Robert. We're still working out a few kinks...but the site should be in good order by early next week.

PS- Anthony had these AMAZING orange basketball shoes, orange sweatband and orange mouth guard that was overall amazing. :)

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.

My article before this one explained how I got into the Super Bowl. I don't even like the jacket. It's an ugly brown color. The polo is cool- it was white with nice blue stripes down the sleeves. I'm definitely keeping that. I want to sell my jacket on eBay.

I have a hat too, my credentials, a $700 super bowl ticket, and a seat cushion. Oh I also have my training manuals and a guest guide, and over 100 pictures. So really, I think I can afford to lose the jacket :)

And if it's any consolation, I really can't believe I WAS AT THE SUPER BOWL! I think I'm still in this daze. and, I'm jealous of myself haha. :)

Who knows, maybe one day you will go to one. Keep your hopes up! And start making networking connections!! :)

Fourteen Feet probably won't get made for a while because its very similar to Gridiron Gang. Both are based on true stories and involve football teams in juvenile halls. Regardless, I'm proud of it and it's helped me get the ball rolling with other projects....until this strike, that is.
