Mike's Bio

Mr. Eagan's eclectic sporting interests are derived from the patchwork quilt that is his life. Descended of an Irish-Catholic, lawyer-breeding family from New Orleans, Eagan was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated in 2005 from the University of Notre Dame du Lac in South Bend, IN. While studying in London during the Spring of 2004, Eagan acquired a taste for Premiership football and Westminster's finest pubs. He recently relocated from San Francisco to the hilly terrain of the Stanford University campus, where he is attending law school. Go figure.

Eagan has had the opportunity to have attended some very memorable sporting moments in his 25 years of life, including:

- Game 4 of the 1989 World Series (not the Earthquake game that would have been much cooler)
- Barry Bonds' 1st game/HR as a Giant, 1993
- 2000 Rose Bowl, Stanford vs. Wisconsin
- Game 5 of the 2002 World Series
- USC at ND, 2005
- 2007 Sugar Bowl, ND vs. LSU
- Barry Bonds' 756th HR, 2007

Mike,

When I think of someone who deserves a Super Bowl ring, I think of Larry Fitzgerald. Who do you think of? Let me know what you think.

AWESOME profile pic. One of the hidden perks of that signing will be seeing that video over and over. Love the look on Randy's face when he realizes it's not his hat.

Priceless.
