About Michael »

I am a Univeristy of Texas alum. Go HORNS! I am originally from East Texas but living in Atlanta, GA. I generally gravitate towards Houston teams and here are my sports priorities: 1. College Football - Texas, LSU, Michigan, Washington, Colorado, Penn State 2. NBA -Suns (/whereever Nash is), Rockets, Kevin Durant and the city that shall not be named 3. College Basketball - Texas, UNC 4. International Men's Soccer - USA, Italy 5. NFL - Titans, Texans (kinda), whichever team has more former Longhorns on it (sadly there are a lot on the Lions). 6. MLB - Astros, Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers 7. Texas H.S. football - Lufkin, whoever can beat South Lake Carroll 8. MLS -Houston, Dallas 9. College Baseball - Texas etc.... teams I hate: Oklahoma Sooners (all sports, and just in general), U Miami football, Spurs, Jazz, Yankees, Braves, Steelers, Ravens, France (soccer and again in general), Duke basketball.

    Vince Young Scoring the Final TD vs. USC in the Rose Bowl

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    A lot of good but not great in the grand scheme of things Texas football games...vs LSU in the Cotton Bowl when Roy Williams took over was special. I remember a TTech game that we won in the last few minutes on a bomb to Roy was amazing. Winning in Fayetteville in the last minute was special. The one time I went to Fenway was magical, but it was an interleague game. I dunno.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Would take some research, I don't know.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele

  • Federer or Sampras?

    They're the same person, Agassi

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Jack I guess, it's golf though.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    NASCAR is not worthy

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Is this racing? I dunno

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    Big 12!

Since I am trying to become a FC, please leave any feedback that you can, what I should do differently next time, things I can do to improve the article, etc. Thanks in advance. I appreciate the support!

U should know that Texas won 45-35. It was an overall a good game, I was lucky to be there. But not as fun when my team loses! Maybe next year.
