Brandon's Bio

Brandon Boyd is an incoming freshman at Pennsylvania State University. Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, Brandon is a lonely Houston Texans fan in a predominately Pittsburgh Steelers town. Also a big Cleveland Cavaliers fan, he hopes that the Cavaliers are able to keep LeBron James in his home state.

His goals for the future include becoming a sports writer. He hopes to cover a professional sports team, but for now, he is just enjoying writing articles for fun.

Hey, Brandon.

Please check out my new blog explaining why Titans RB Chris Johnson is not human.

Thanks.

Hey,

I know you are a big NBA fan and if you are a true NBA then you know of the travesty that is currently happening in Oklahoma City. I am not talking about the Sonics moving there, I am talking about Kevin Durant being held captive on that team.

The team is stuck in a perpetual cycle of rebuilding. How are they going to resign all those high draft picks? They can’t offer everyone one of those guys over $10M a year and if they sign Durant to the max offer of $14M a year, which they’ll have to, then they cannot afford to sign a good supporting cast to help him win.

So, what I am asking for you is to come help me out with FreeDurant.com and write little posts about why it would be great for Durant to come to your city and help your team win a championship.
If you are interested go here: http://www.freedurant.com/about there is an email link on the bottom of that page.

Let’s create a storm to get Durant out of OKC to a place where he can win a championship!

And the site is going to be going through some revamp soon, just taking a while to get the graphics done.

Awesome! Congratulations! I'm starting at Schuylkill Haven, then transfer to UP, so long as I can keep my GPA up.

I've always said two things: It's never too late, and better late than never. It took some time to figure out what I really wanted to do. In fact, I've actually been pursuing a degree in communications for a few years now, but prefer the traditional method.

Good luck to you at PSU! Are you going to the main campus or one of the satellites?
