Ohio State's Columbus, West Virginia's Morgantown: A Tale of Two Cities
11/16/2009
I have been writing sports since 2000, covering the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the now-defunct Football Network, and for Lindy's online. In recent years, I have blogged about West Virginia football, following the Mountaineers during their 2006 and 2007 seasons, both of which ended with January bowl victories. I really cannot take credit for those wins, but it sure was fun being a part of it.
I have also written two novels, with a 1970s pine-riding college football wideout protagonist in the earlier one, and with the same guy as a loser stockbroker during the go-go years of the '80s in the other.
I figured since I got the Featured Columnist gig I ought to represent.
But Gibson still rules, especially after the Dodgers sucked again in the post-season.....

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.

Wrote a article as we're approaching the quarterpole of the NFL (more so if you count preseason).
Which players surprised even the best of analysts?

Just a reminder that anyone can make it to the SEC Title game to face the obnoxious and annoying Tim Tebow.
