About Robert »

Robert is a student at the University of Florida getting his Masters of Education degree and also owns a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Troy University. He originally hails from the Bay Area in California, so he's an avid Sharks, Warriors, Giants, and 49ers fan. He is in love with Sun Belt Conference football and is always the guy rooting for the underdog those first five weeks of the season.

Robert thinks the SEC is (always) overrated, the Pac-10 is (usually) underrated, and that Alabama is the worst school in the history of humanity.

As a student who attended Troy from 2003-2008, he's witnessed many a milestone victory in Troy's move up the Division I sports ladder. Being a former member of the renowned Sound of the South Marching Band allowed Robert to attend most of Troy's away games. This has precipitated his becoming a football field whore, having been down on the field at Florida State, Georgia Tech, Florida, South Carolina, The Superdome, UAB, San Jose State, MTSU, Arkansas State, and Louisiana-Lafayette.

In his spare time, Robert is an amateur photographer, enjoys watching and listening to drum corps, plays intramural football, and fancies himself a wine connoisseur.

    Hey Robert,

    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 Robert!

    R, There will definitely be a title-bar link to the NCAA BB page (a la the current College FB set-up) in the very near future. As far as a poll--I don't know what the plans are on that. I'd recommend dropping a line to Zander Freund (http://www.bleacherreport.com/users/19-Zander_Freund), who generally manages those sort of community issues.

    Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. Hope all is well.

    Nice Robert...I love me some Troy (don't say Troy State) Trojans. Mike Turk (former Troy player/coach was the runner up for the Harlon Hill Trophy in '87) is one of the classiest men I've ever met. Keep up the good work.
