James 's Bio

My names is James "Jimmy" Crytzer and I am 22 years old and a recent graduate of Middle Tennessee State University. If you have not heard of this school, well you are like 97% of the United States. I am from Knoxville but currently reside in Nashville. I have lived all over the United States and seen the best and worst of sports. Best: Denver Bronco's Fans, Worst: New Orleans Saints teams during the 90's.

I am a huge Baltimore Ravens fan and I look forward to when the Black and Purple take on the Black and Gold of Pittsburgh. I still cant believe the AFC championship run the Ravens made with a rookie Quarterback and Head Coach.
I am a proud alumnus of Alpha Tau Omega, and would love to be able to go back as a successful radio personality. I love my Blue Raiders of MTSU and will be a fan for the rest of my life. Maybe the Sunbelt is not the best place for football talent, but I love the idea of building a football power.

Without a doubt the greatest upset in football history is Appalachian State over Michigan. The most incredible thing about that day was it was the launch of the BIG TEN Network! Kinda hard to sell the Big Ten as a Power Conference if you cant beat a FCS (I-AA) team. I love the underdog stories and I will never forget the Boise st. and Oklahoma game or the Whoopin' Alabama got from Utah. I will argue to the grave that Utah is the Real National Champions.

I am currently a featured columnist for the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders and I'm quite excited. The season is looking great so far.

Go Blue!

The Heisman Trophy isn't the same as it use to be. What are the faults and what can be done in order to get the bronze figurine back to where it once was?

Don't be shy!

No, the Saints didn't win a playoff game in the 90's, but they made the playoffs three times - which is more than can be said for the team during the 70's and 80's.

There were far worse teams during the 90's.
by Michael

You do know that the 1990's were some of the best years for the Saints, right? They had an all-world defense during the mid 90's and dethroned the NFC West Champ 49ers during that stretch.
