David's Bio

I love college sports. Need I say more?

Ok well I will. I am a Oregon Duck fan first and foremost. I am not a conference cheerleader but I will defend the Pac 10 when people down talk it without reason. I love college football. I read a handful of preseason magazines every summer. I have 5 tv's in my living room through football season so that I don't miss very much. I like to travel around to the differnent college stadiums as well, no matter who is playing. I have been to 9 college stadiums in the last 5 years.
I also like college basketball, but not to the extent of football. I do my best to follow lacrosse, track, baseball, softball, cross country, gymnastics and as many other college sports as I can.

If it seems like it has been a while since I have written anything, because I got busy or something, just wait longer.

Along with Bleacher Report you can also find my stuff on a number of other sites.

OlyDuck's Opinion is my fox sports Blog. basically the same stuff sometimes a little different though.

Also have been asked to contribute to these sites.

Awesome. Olympia's a great town. I lived there when I went to Evergreen and still have family in the area.

No problem David—easy mistake to make!

By the way, does the name OlyDuck mean you live in Olympia?

Hey David,

The Pac-10 has my respect because when other conferences scrambled to fill that 12th date on the schedule with I-AA teams, the Pac-10 did the right thing by adding a conference game. I wish the other conferences would follow suit instead of feeling obligated to fund the athletic programs of Wofford, Charleston Southern, Appalachian State, Southern, Western Carolina, The Citadel, Furman and others.

Hey guys, if you would please read this article on the comparison between Vince Young and Tim Tebow.

I think it was more Miami was tied to it as they were the only Big Easters to go during that time frame. But the bowl was in their backyard, so of course they'd be likely to go to it.
