John 's Bio

I'm a sports fan who grew up watching Texas Tech. I have a degree in journalism and a masters in sport management. I'd like to work in a collegiate athletic department. My dream is to one day be an athletic director at a Division I institution.

Favorite Athletes

Michael Jordan, Dwyane Wade, David Robinson, Nehemiah Glover, Wes Welker, Michael Crabtree
Favorite Sports Teams

Texas Tech sports, any pro team that has Tech players, San Antonio Spurs (fan since 1989), Dallas Cowboys
All Time Sports Moment

Nehemiah Glover going 62 yards for a TD right before the end of the first half against UT (the alleged #1 secondary in the country) in 2002
Most Memorable Game Attended

Texas Tech's 42-38 win over UT in 2002 and 39-33 in 2008
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

John Wooden's cheating to win all those NCAA championships
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan
Gretzky or Orr?

Hockey sucks
Pele or Maradona?

Pele
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras, the men's game was more competitive when Sampras was playing
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger, quite possibly the greatest golfer ever.
Petty or Earnhardt?

racing sucks, it would be more entertaining if they had to drink while they were racing.
Schumacher or Senna?

see above
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

SEC, Big 12, Big 10, Pac 10, Big East. The Big East does not deserve an automatic BCS bid.

I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

Hey John ,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend John !

Zander
