Pete's Bio

AKA Pete. Call me Pete, Mist, or whatever else.
Pro sports are good: Dodgers, Lakers, and Raiders

College football is my passion -- USC, TCU, and BYU. Since BYU and USC already had some writers, I thought I needed to cover TCU, though I still like to write about college football in the West in general. I hate the BCS in general and really would love a college footbal playoff....

My article http://bleacherreport.com/articles/258746-contenders-or-pretenders-what-we-learned-week-three was featured on the CBS Sports College Football front page.

Many articles have been linked to by CBSSports.com.

Looks like b/r is switching up the writer rankings formula -- going up to 23 in college football in two months and dropping to 50 a few days later and then dropping out entirely..... I really do not care as long as a get some readers and commenters.

I try to write entertaining and provocative articles. No sacred cows for me!! Thanks for reading and commenting! I love the feedback (and even the correction once in awhile).
