BabyTate's Bio

Community Leader of College Football In The Bleacher Report.

Old enough to be old school for a living.
Longtime Web Sports figure since 1997.
Believe in the H.L. Mencken quote " It is the responsibility of the journalist to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable".

I've been fortunate to have the good people at SI.Com, ESPNU, MSN.Com and Fox publish my articles.
Honored to be interviewed by WCMH-TV in Columbus, Ohio concerning column on "The Ten Most Disliked Programs".
Happily interviewed by NBC4i.com concerning my article on Ohio St. football.
Pleased to be quoted in a feature story in the Columbus Dispatch concerning my article regarding the 10 Most Disliked Programs featuring Jim Tressel and Ohio State, that has over 41,000 reads.
Featured and quoted in "The Rant" website. Credited as information source on Minneapolis Sports Radio.
Article on Most Disliked Programs Reviewed On Iowa State Cyclones Web Site.
Featured on CBSSPORTSLINE regarding story of college football traditions and our weekly 11 Best 11s College Football Poll.

I'm pleased with the reaction to "Beyond The Forgotten Door—The Lost Boys Of College Football", "Jim Dunaway—The True Notorious Big", as well as the 4 Pick of the Day awards.

Give all credit to the readers who voted 4 of my articles, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", " Bear Bryant Family Tree", "Do You Remember Steve Spurrier? ", and "An Open Letter To B/R" as The Pick of the Day..

    Bt, I really apreciated the comment you left on one of my articles. After reading your bio it is obvious to me that you know what you are doing whenit comes to writing about sports. I don't know if you are a journalist or sports analyst but you sure seem to be qualified, if not over qualified. Anyway to cut to the chase, if you haven't read my bio, which I doubt you have, I am a senior in high school and am considering going into journalism. From what you have read and from what I have posted on this site do you think I have what it takes to do that, or is it too early to tell?
    Thank you,
    Cody

    If only more people had read about "wrong way Goldfarb"! That and the book "Son of God" about Jesus playing football were two of my favorite football works of Fiction. I am going to try to track those books down to read them and relive the fun again!Thanks again for the memory.

    Baby Tate, I'm new to the BLleacher Report, and after browsing through writers and articles I must say yours are some of the best I've ever read. Being from southern Alabama I have strong ties with the University of Alabama. I loved the articles on the sec, Do you remember Steve Spurrier, and anything you have written on the Bear. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work. By the way where are you from, your subject matter, and knowledge lead me to believe you are from tyhe south.

    Alright BT, I've taken a refreshing break from college football and have written about some good old fashioned baseball! Take a look if you could!

    Hope you're looking forward to game two of the NLDS! Here's my take on Chad Billingsley for the Dodgers:
