About Aaron »

Born in Ft. Rucker, Alabama in 1983.

Raised in Rutledge, Alabama.

Born an Alabama fan.

Moved to Ft. Campbell, KY in 1989, where I lived there and watched sporting events such as:

Alabama's trouncing of Miami in the 1993 Sugar Bowl.
Chicago Bulls three-peat.
NY Rangers breaking their curse in winning the Cup.
The Buffalo Bills being down 35-3 at halftime and coming back to beat the Houston Oilers.
Four straight Super Bowl appearances by the Bills.
And many many more.

I've lived in Clarksville, TN since 1996. I grew up watching players in this area like Shawn Marion, Trenton Hassell, Charles "Bubba" Wells, and Marques Maybin. I also played basketball for four years at one of the high schools here as well and can talk about some of my 'war stories' as well.

I'm currently finishing up my education at Austin Peay State University.

The SEC West is extremely crowded. I've posted the first two in a series of three articles on a revised look at the front runners.

I tried to be objective and left my 'colored' glasses in the case, please take a look if you've got a minute and let me know how I did!

I hope you 'like' it!

I became a fan of yours today after a great comment you made on of my articles. You are a fresh talent that is well spoken and one who possesses clear thought patterns and turns out nice articles.

We are glad to have you in the Bama section and I look forward to many more of your great thought provoking articles. Way to go!

December '07. I moved to NC for a bit, but now I'm back in Cape, thinking of going for some post-grad work.

Not a problem, sir. Keep up the great work!

On a side note, I graduated from SEMO and actually still live in Cape Girardeau. OVC Pride!

I understand that one. Larry Burton, while I love him dearly, has a little homerish feel about him.

And I am that way in most areas, but sometimes you have to take a step back and look at how other teams might see you and perceive your reactions and actions.

Really? That's one of my older articles. Ha. But thanks for the read and fandom anyway. :)

You are absolutely right. You can never have too many Bama fans to talk with.

Hey Aaron,

I just saw where you fanned me and just wanted to drop by and say thanks. :) May I ask which article(s) you read that made you click that button? :)
