Linnea's Bio

I'm originally from Evanston, Ill. and am a recent grad of Indiana University. I received a degree in Sport Communication with a minor in Sport Marketing and Management and a certificate in Journalism. I wrote for the Indiana Daily Student sports desk for about 2.5 years, covering everything from intramurals to men's basketball. I am currently riding out my lease in Bloomington, where I continue to write for the IDS and am an editing intern with the B/R for the summer. I am desperately seeking a job for August and beyond. Seriously desperate.

I love college basketball, football, and soccer. I occasionally enjoy the NFL (when the Bears aren't sucking) but rarely the NBA...I lost interest after the Bulls fell off in the late '90s. I am bitter and frigid after 22 years of being a Cubs fan—my soul died in Wrigley Field at Game 7 of the NLCS in 2003.

That's me in the red, celebrating a Hoosier basketball victory on the football field...they should never leave those gates open. RIP Coach Hep, you are the MAN!

All Time Sports Moment

5 years old, looking up from my seat in Wrigley Field and watching Harry Carey sing the 7th inning stretch out of the pressbox. It's when I knew that sports was where I wanted to be.

Most Memorable Game Attended

2003 NCLS Cubs vs. Marlins Game 7...greatest and worst moment of my life, all bundled up into a sad pathetic little package.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

IU men's soccer 8 overtimes versus Duke in the 1983 College Cup for their first national title...it's unbreakable 'cuz the rules have changed about overtimes. Ha.

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

    Thanks for your help. Just starting with bleacher. Just made a few more revisions to clean it up and expend on the Nets vs. Jordan draft comparison. A shame since would like Mike to bring success to Charlotte, but just makes bad decisions.

    I am just happy my Celtics finally won after 22 years. Also liked their draft.

    I am also an IU grad and also wrote for the IDS my freshman year :) Wish I continued it, but got discouraged when I did not get credit for news articles with my name listed ;( Look forward to read your articles.

    Thank you again.

    Linnea, could you be my long lost daughter? I can't tell you how many times the Cubbies have killed my soul! Thank you for your kind words and for editing the "Cote" article. If you are a Cub fan then you know why I have turned to MMA for solace.
