About Ben »

I am a college student who has grown up loving sports both in playing them and watching them. After getting to college I really started getting into writing and my connection with sports inspired me to become a journalism student and start covering college and local sports.

Hey Ben, thanks for the edits, but just to let you know, "Come to Think of it" is my tag line for every headline I do, similar to how Ryan Alberti uses "Just Saying is All". Just wanted to make sure you were aware. No worries, I'll change it back. Thanks dude!
