Phil's Bio

I am a double graduate of Ball State University, picking up a bachelor's degree in 2003 and stealing a master's in 2007. For my real job, I'm the sports editor at a newspaper in Indiana and I also write for BallStateInsider.com, part of the scout.com network. I will primarily write about college football, the Cubs, Celtics, Redskins and Ball State sports when the opportunity arises.
