About

2nd year grad student at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. Played football for 8 years and stopped because I love the coaching aspect of the game more than actually playing. I love the Texans and hope to see them in the playoffs soon. I also absolutely love the 2007 World Champion Boston Red Sox

    Hey Ryan,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Ryan!

    Only administrators can delete comments at the moment when you see inappropriate stuff, email me and I'll take care of it for you.

    Down the road, we're going to be implementing a user-flagging system to help monitor the comment threads.

    Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks as always Ryan.

    Ok, just wrote my retraction (decided to wait until after Hawaii-Washington so I didn't have to eat my words twice). Check it out. Also gave a shout-out to your Hawaii-Georgia article in there as well.

    Happy to help, Ry. Keep the good stuff coming. RA

    Yup, I will eat my words and a column is forthcoming in which I eat crow and own up to Hawaii's greatness. With one HUUUGE caveat: IF Hawaii falls to Washington this Saturday, I will laugh all the way to the beach. I'll check out your article.

    Re: the addition...

    Sounds good to me--remember that you have the ability to edit your own work, so I'll defer to you on making the revision.

    Hey Ryan -

    Just wrote a response/rant/breakdown of your article countering the point that Hawaii should be in title game consideration. Check it out here:

    Hope you don't take my points the wrong way, I actually thought your article was well written, I'm just fed up with all the pro-Hawaii stuff being thrown around and felt a counterpoint was in order. It's all meant in good fun and you gotta remember that all's fair at Bleacher Report.

    Looking forward to your response and Hawaii's performance these next two weeks here's hoping both you and the Warriors make me eat my words.

    Glad the edits check out, Ry--no better time to write than PE class. I'll look forward to next time...
