About Matt »

I am a 21 year old student at the UNC-Pembroke majoring in Mass Communications, so I can duh, become a sports journalist. I'm the sports editor for the school's newspaper, The Pine Needle, and I love it even though it takes up most of my time.

Huge North Carolina and ACC fan, but also enjoy the Braves and the Panthers.

Hiya Matt. We just launched a brand new Tar Heel website and we would love to use your articles on the front page and in the UNC News section.

We have a blog page our members add to, a forum/message board, a photo gallery our members add to, and a video page thats member controlled as well. We also have a chatroom which will be used mainly for games. Let me know if I can use your articles and stop by and get to know us. You're the man.

Hi. I actually added two of the sports articles I wrote for feature writing last semester to the site. When I google my name this is what comes up so I figured I should probably add something for people to read.

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

I've been spending time on our UNC 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

Yeah I've been to all the home games this year. Its just been crazy with going to the games and working I haven't had a ton of down time to write much. I'll be missing the ND game because of a Bachelor Party and the BC game because of the wedding so I'm gonna try and get some writing done since I won't be traveling to chapel hill those weekends.

'03-'07 and yeah I know both of them really well, we played ball together. Jacoby Watkins was from Scotland too if I'm not mistaken. They're good guys and from everything I gather Hilee is turning heads with the Panthers and although they're still looking for a position for him he's going to be a serious contributor on special teams.

I feel bad for Cam, coming in we were so high on him and expecting huge things and the injuries just added up to be a bit much for him to overcome. After the first ankle injury he really wasn't the same, lost a lot of his fearlessness and the speed dropped off a bit.

Anyways, yeah I know them, they're too really good football players and two of the best guys in general from the team.

Thanks for the read and the comment, yeah growing up in Charlotte and living here listening to the sports radio and talking to fans its obvious how apathetic they are unless the Panthers or Bobcats are winning.
