Ben's Bio
Note: I decided to shake up the whole profile picture. I love Chris Long, he was truly a man among boys while in college.
Hi everybody. I recently graduated from the University of Virginia and have been writing sports articles since 2005. Whether it's the Cavalier Daily, thesabre.com, The Fanatic Magazine or www.laxnews.com, I've been around the block. Obviously I bleed orange and blue but I love almost all sports including golf. I recently got the opportunity to become Virginia football community leader so feel free to contact me if you have any ideas. Better yet, write your own Virginia articles and let your voice be heard!

Actually, I was shocked to see that was your first badge, Ben. You've done so much great work, man! I just made sure you got some exposure; the rest took care of itself!
B/R is indeed a great place, flaws and all. I hope to contribute here for a very, very long time. :-)

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.
