12's Bio

I love college football. I was born in Birmingham, Alabama, raised in Southwest Virginia, and attended college in Overland Park, Kansas (Johnson County Community College)and Birmingham, Alabama (UAB). I currently live in Charlotte, NC. I have lived in 6 different states, giving me a pretty wide perspective on fans from different parts of the country, but mostly the southeast. Southeastern conference football is my passion, but I love all college football no matter who is playing. I am a fan of a few other mainstream sports, including baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, boxing, mma, and Nascar. I am a sports junkie, and I love discussing sports of any kind. I don't pretend to be an expert on anything, but I have a passion for sports that comes from my mom and dad, who both were as passionate as I am, especially concerning the University of Alabama.
