Ryan 's Bio

I used to have it made. I grew up following three amazing sports teams. Teams that were rich with tradition. Teams that consistently won championships. Together, we could do no wrong! Over a three year span, my teams won a College Football Championship, a College Basketball Championship and a World Series Title. IU Basketball - 1987, Notre Dame Football - 1988, Cincinnati Reds Baseball - 1990.

Those were the glory days; those were the greatest years of my life. Ages 9 through 12. Its been all down hill since.
