Adam's Bio

I'm a proud graduate of Western Michigan University (home of the Broncos). I covered Bronco football and hockey for the Western Herald (WMU's student-run newspaper). I'm a die-hard fan of Detroit sports, most prominently the Tigers and the Lions. Generally, my favorite sport is baseball, but I really have no qualms with any sport out there. I'm even into auto racing, golf, tennis and college sports.

I'm now working part-time at the Saginaw News and Bay City Times in the sports department. I'll mostly be working in the office to start, but should be writing stories for the paper down the road.

As for Bleacher Report, I wrapped up my editing internship in August and I highly recommend the experience. I'm also a featured columnist for Michigan football.

I can be reached at a2bouton@wmich.edu for further comments, inquiries or questions.

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

The Michigan/Notre Dame game has the feel once again of a typical rivalry game. Both teams look good last week, but see what the Irish NEED to do in order to be successful for a second Saturday in a row. Don't be shy, even you Wolverines!
