About David »

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?

    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.
