About Derek »

I'm currently a sophomore in college majoring in English. I love all sports, but most all college football. Of course, as you can tell, my favorite team is Ole Miss. I've enjoyed writing for various high schools and Ole Miss sports. Thanks for dropping by and if any questions, leave me a note at the bottom. Thanks again and God Bless!

Derek,
Great writing man. I have reposted a few of your articles on my blog site located at www.secnation.net.

My postings are linked to you so I am not plagiarizing...I just wanted you to know. Hotty Toddy. Great profile pic by the way, looks like you are enjoying your student section seating.

Derek,

You went AWOL for a while. Glad to see you back. I don't normally do this but I wrote an article on Oklahoma and I'm afraid if it doesn't generate some quick buzz, everyone is going to tune out because the season is over. So, if you have the time, I'd love to get you to comment on it. It can be found here...

I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.

I saw your note on Zander's profile...I have the same problem, but only in Firefox. I discovered the reason is having Flash 10 installed, so that could be it. Beyond that, Zander might have a better answer for you, but I know Adobe screwed up Flash 10 as far as how it operates with opening browse windows.

Derek,
I know you can answer this question for me. What is up with the Rebel secondary? Do we just not have the talent, or are the right men for the job not in there? Second, why is Marshay Green a defensive back? In my opinion he was much better on the offensive side of the ball. If you can answer these questions for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tyler

Derek,

I want to start a B/R college football poll with B/R writers as the pollsters.

If you are interested, I would love for you to participate.

Hey man,

I know you are sitting pretty here on Bleacher Report, but I am a part of another site who is still looking for guys who want to write and we don't have an Ole Miss writer yet. If, you are interested, I can get you hooked up for this.

Sup. I've read some of your articles before, and we've talked a little SEC football as I'm a razorback fan.

That's besides the point though. I'm trying to get a fantasy football league going of bleacher report writers. If you or anyone else you know on the web site is interested, post your email on my profile. We have five that are in as of now and I'm sending this same message to a ferw others.
