About Aaron »

Hi my name is Aaron Partridge. I attend Olivet University in Illinois and am majoring in Sports Management with a minor in Journalism.
I'm probably one of the biggest Cub fans you will ever meet, its a lifestyle.
I'm a huge 49ers fan,yes I live I live in Illinois and hate the Bears. Steve Young is my favorite NFL player of all time.
I'm also a huge Bulls fan, have followed them through thick and thin and finally they are back in Finals contention.

I'm from Champaign, Illinois home of the Illini so I bleed Orange and Blue. Zook has the Illini playing great and as I predicted at the end of the season they could win 9+ games. No one else in Champaign thought that but myself. Basketball wise everyone knows I absolutely have a hatred for Bruce Weber.

Bottom line is I love talking and writing about sports. Everyone has a different opinion in everything associated with sports.

Hey Aaron—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our College Football page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

Hey Aaron,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Aaron!
