Nathan's Bio

I try to be objective, but I may slip into some homerism. If that happens, I will be the Bill Simmons equivalent to the Chicago Cubs. Most of my articles will be researched, but there will also be a few rants.

Hey,
Sorry for the completely delayed response...
Gustav... ahhhh! We lost power Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and it came back early Thurs. morning.
We ended up deciding on Wed. night to get out of the madness and go to Florida for the weekend.
We lost 2 trees in our yard...but they didn't fall on our house...so that's good.
All in all, it could've been worse.
I just hope Ike doesn't find its way here. :(

On a sports related note,
Yeah LSU did well against App St... but then again, it's App St. :)
Bummer that they cancelled Troy but oh well... legit reason.

My FFL team lost though :( Due to lack of power/being out of town, I didn't check on my roster...and that resulted in my playing an inactive TE. :(

Oh well better luck next week :)

Yeah, dreaming....ehh it's the same thing as what anyone would've told a Jayhawk fan before last season started....Kansas....in the NC hunt??? lol.

So hey- dream on :)

May the BCS force be with you ;)

Breakup during a game -that's rough!... because if you lose, it makes it that much worse...and if you win...then you can't really celebrate and relish in the fact that you won.

Man... that's painful. Well we both experienced pain that day then.....just I was mad at Drew Tate and you were mad at.... well your gf.

Well hopefully this season treats us both better...although I don't know how last season can be topped... aside from the fact that my team won the NC, it was so insane from day one with App St. beating Michigan.... it was the most unpredictable season ever.... I love it like that! lol.

Thanks for the comment on my article.

Yeah, I actually almost went to a Zephyrs game, but it ended up not working out...I might try it again though :)

Hawkeyes huh?? I'll do my best to forgive ya'll for the Capitol One Bowl :P

thanks man. I do what I can, and not slurping the SEC is one of the things I definitely can do.

In the past, the roundtables have been just a serius of Cubs-related questions. So as not to drag on too long, I would try and limit it to 3-5 q's and only 3-4 writers tops. Q's like 'who is the Cubs MVP?' and 'Who should they trade for?' and 'which 3 pitchers should be active in the playoffs, assumign you only need 3, who gets the boot?'....stuff like that.
by Bob

Nathan,

I've tried to get a roundtable going and the past two times one of the three writers never responded so I wasn't able to get it done. But basically, as the community leader for the Cubs, I can suggest questions, send them to Cubs writers and publish them. Or, you can suggest topics to me or q's of myself and other writers and publish the results. You can include yourself or not, it's up to you.
