About Dan »

*A big thank you to all the fans of my work here at B/R. My first AOTD, The True Story of Knute Rockne: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/265043-the-true-story-of-knute-rockne-college-footballs-most-renowned-coach

Being from North Jersey, I have been a Yankees fan since the day I was brought into this world. On the other hand—I am not a Giants fan. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And most importantly.. I am an over-obsessive, subway alumni of the University of Notre Dame.

Happy to be serving as Notre Dame's newest Featured Columnist.

I currently play basketball and am also a single-digit handicap golfer. I'm a fan of all sports, but I pay in extreme attention to College Football and Basketball, the MLB, and the NFL. The reason I joined the site is to ready myself for my journey into a sports career, whether that be in broadcasting or journalism. Sports are my love and writing is my passion. I've got some dreams yet I have the motivation and passion to make those dreams turn into realities someday.

I am looking for opportunities to contribute anywhere possible. Most recently, I began contributing to fightingirishgameday.com.

I love reading - if you leave a link, I will most likely take a look.

Dan,

I'm not real comfortable with the Clausen fumble call in the Pitt game.

Could you possibly tell me where I could see a video of it on the internet.

I don't have ESPN 360

Thank you, Jeff Kalafa

The BCS rewarded LSU for losing to the "Tide last week, moving from No. 9 to No. 8. They kept their spot this week, after rallying over LA Tech, 24-16.

In addition, Stanford is apparently only slightly better than USC, even though they handed USC their worst loss in Pete Carroll's era. Becuase Stanford landed at No. 17, just ahead of the Torjans. Absurd.

Here are the rankings, without the bias.
