Doug's Bio

HUGE Buckeye fan! I also attending Iowa State for a few years so I am a Cyclone basketball fan as well. I would rather not talk about Cyclone football, thank you very much. I also attended Sonoma State (now Cal State Sonoma) so I am a Cossack (now Seawolfs) soccer and baseball fan. I live just outside of Boulder so I am working to become both a CU Buff and Denver Bronco fan. I always love to see the Cubbies almost win the pennant. How 'bout dem Bears!!?!?!!!

I appriciate the comments on the article Doug. Thank you for taking the time out to read and participate on my board.

However, I would appriciate if you didn't tell me to "zip it", in the future please.

That poster hated me from the beginning...so I egged him on with a comment back because I loved it! He hates me so much now, he'll wait to hear what I'm going to say next so he can rant about the next thing I write.

I either want them to hate me or love me, because either way...they'll read again. If they just think, "eh, whatever", they won't care either way.

Once again Doug, I thank you for reading the series and your participation!

Sincerely,
OneZuke18

Thanks for your props on my latest article. Mistakenly posted my reply in the new comment box though.

Best of luck with your teams the rest of the season.

Okay, so I've gone a little USC-Ohio State crazy, but I'd really appreciate your input on my latest article!

Hey Doug,

I just wanted to make sure you check the feedback on your "Kraus Index: Week Two" article history. You asked for advice on how to make it look better, and I gave some on your Week One entry, but I think you probably didn't see it. I tested it out and it works pretty well, so if it's not working for you let me know. Basically, just paste in from an excel sheet with all the teams in one column and all the numbers in the next one.

Take it easy,
-Tim

Doug-
So sorry about your mom. I will be a Hawkeye fan this year just for her! (I'm serious!) My condolences on your tremendous loss.
