BYOB's Bio

First of all let me begin by saying my name is Matt. BYOB is just a reference I came up with to describe the fact that I watch more sports than I play these days. I am a big fan of MMA, baseball and hockey. Being a typical Minnesota guy I start the football season liking the Vikings and by mid-season end up frustrated and not liking football anymore. I am however, a loyal fan to the Twins and the Wild. I'm also known to joke around, so if you are coming to my profile to be mad at me, keep that in mind. I was probably just messing with ya. Don't look to me to be worried if you get mad, just smile and get over it. Life is short, don't spend it pissed off.

For sure about the wild tickets. We go at least a couple of times every year. I grew up as a youngster in Michigan so I grew up a Red wings fan, and we go to that game every year. The Xcel is just a great place to see a hockey game, concerts can be iffy sometimes but Hockey never disappoints. I went to see the Twinkies in the Dome yesterday and actually had a good time which usually doesn't happen in the Dome for me. 33 hits 19 runs, not exactly a defensive battle.

We are doing another group article and if you want you should write up a paragraph and send it to rywales@hotmail.com. The topic is: Will Brick Lesnar ever be UFC Heavyweight Champion.
