About Pete »

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 football 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.

Just passed 40,000 reads on November 18th. Thanks for all the support folks. Hard to believe I have been writing for about four months.

And thanks for the 51 POTD votes.

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).

Pete Misthaufen commented on Should The Mountain West Conference Expand To 10 or 12 Teams?
