Chris's Bio

My name is Chris Ballay and I am a senior at LSU in journalism. My passions in the sports world rest with LSU (in particular football) and the Saints. School is pretty intense right now so I don't get to write as many articles as I'd like, but I do what I can. Even so I enjoy reading what people have to say.

Also, this past summer I studied abroad in Tanzania for 6 weeks. Believe it or not I saw and met Hasheem Thabeet there. Even crazier is I got to be on his team in a pick up game.

Thanks. Go read a few of my articles. by the way, I actually like what the Boston Sports Fan has to say. He's actually pretty moderate for a Boston fan (I live in Boston)

And here's an old article I wrote about Moss.

Chris,
thanks for the comment on my article, always nice to see another Tiger fan on this site. I'm the LSU community leader so if you ever have any questions or just want to contribute great content to the LSU section, please feel free!!

NO, that National Championship ring is for the Kansas Jayhawks... who won the National Championship in BOTH College Football and College Basketball this past academic year :)
