About DScot »

DScot lives in Birmingham, AL with his wife , his newborn son, and his dog. Due to these responsibilities, and a lifelong battle with the disease called laziness, he writes articles for this sight infrequently. He enjoys all things sports, writing, video games, and complaining about the current state of the music and motion picture industries. He also enjoys accumulating generally useless pop culture knowledge in order to annoy his friends.

DScot is a huge Alabama Crimson Tide sports fan. He also pulls for the Cubs. In the NFL, he pulls for the 49'ers (kinda) and his fantasy team, The Knights Who Say Ni! (mostly). In the NBA, he pretty much pulls for whoever the Lakers are playing.

He also maintains a blog on blogspot, and is anxiously awaiting his first comment as proof that somebody has actually seen the thing. He is thrilled to have stumbled across this website, and hopes to contribute something worth the time to read it every now and again.

DScot commented on The Iron Bowl Matchup: Dream Team Versus Team Still Dreaming, Part I

Tuberville did not coach the Tigers until 1999. In 1998, Terry Bowden left mid-season and Bill Oliver finished out the year.

Ummm, anytime you lose a game and you scored 0 points, you were killed. There is really no comparison.

We are the Knights who say "Neat."

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

Thanks for the comment.. I agree, there are a lot of factors involved. Some people just hate because they want to hate. its part of their personality.

Alabama fan and a Cubs fan? Killing me. I'm an Auburn fan and a Cards fan myself. At least you like the Niners.

Congrats on the upcoming baby, that's great.
