As a former FSU student, I have been a close follower of all things 'Seminole.' I am still friends with of some of the players of the 1999-2003 teams, whom I often tutored in subjects ranging from Sociology to Economics. I hold a typical 9-5 job, and I just find blogging and writing a worthwhile means of escaping the typical daily routine. I am a statistics guy, and I do a ton of homework to find that one "did you know?" factoid.
I am more interested in writing as a means to consider the extraordinary, the unique, and the surprising, rather than things people find themselves rehashing over and over again.
A famous quote I once read was, "We do what we have to do, until we can do what we want to do."
Well I hope that you find my opinions intriguing, and find a good a point of resolve from the angle I approach sports matters from, because I am doing what I want to do, perhaps for the first time in my life.
Thank you for reading!

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

The SEC West is extremely crowded. I've posted the first two in a series of three articles on a revised look at the front runners.
I tried to be objective and left my 'colored' glasses in the case, please take a look if you've got a minute and let me know how I did!
I hope you 'like' it!
