About Chris »

I am a 22 year-old student attending the University of Oregon. I am double majoring in Finance and Sports Journalism. I have no idea what I'm going to do once I'm out of school.

I was born with an innate love for sports. Neither of my parents cared for them much, but for some reason I was drawn in. I played them throughout high school and into college. I've studied them since I was 5 years-old. There is some unspeakable truth within my soul that breathes when I think about sports.

This blog of sorts is simply a medium for me to share my thoughts. These thoughts are sometimes straight forward and sometimes obscure. Some are serious, others ridiculous. One thing to be sure of is that no one will agree with everything I say. I thrive on the notion that everyone is entitled to their own opinions. What I will do is try to effectively use my wit and knowledge of sports to make any thoughts I convey intriguing at worst.
