Brian's Bio

College football fan first. Everything else second.

I discovered this site a year ago after a night of googling. I was hooked from the moment I saw the great college sections and unique writer rankings. The rankings are interesting enough and fun to track even though they make absolutely no sense to me.

I write on here for fun. It's a great medium for writing about what you are passionate about. The volatile arguments are what make this site great as well. I also intern as a reporter/writer at InsideTennessee.com, but writing on here is so much more satisfying as I can be more creative and a part of a wonderful group of "fans."

College football first? Everything else second?

Jesus Christ, no wonder you're a Hood. College football really is all you care about. You literally don't care about anything else.

Be careful what you wish for.

Actually don't. I hope you don't change and do wind up paying the price. The world has nothing to gain from someone who puts college football above the trauma caused by his own family members.

Do you think your cousin will ever forget that day?

Everyone else in your family has. She never will.

Everytime the family gets together and talks about college football and how great Daniel is doing, what do you honestly think is going through her head?

I know you have zero compassion for what is, but amuse yourself. Try to think what she could be feeling. I don't think college football means nearly as much to her as it does to you.

Your whole family is a disgrace to mankind. You are backward progress. You are an example of how humans should not think and behave.

Daniel Hood is not even an animal, because animals don't duct tape their own family down and rape them with plungers and then watch TV afterwards like nothing happened.

He is a monster and so is anyone who pats him on the back. I'm sure deep down he liked it, so don't ever tell me I can't judge him. He raped his own cousin. Most of the people in jail right now would never even think of doing something that horrible.

Only a true monster could.

Your family member Daniel Hood is the definition of evil.

Anyone who talks to him like it never happened is worse than him.

Hormones? Try evil.

SEC, huh? Look at your priorities you sick individual.

You put SEC above rape victims.

Let me repeat that so it sinks in.

You put SEC above rape victims that you are related to.

You put SEC football above the dignity of your own family members who were RAPED WITH PLUNGERS BY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.

Daniel Hood is the very definition of evil. I don't care if you see him every Christmas. I don't care if grandma told him it's okay.

He is walking, talking evil personified.

Every God fearing true Christian man can judge him. All he had to do was not RAPE HIS OWN COUSIN WITH A PLUNGER before the eyes of God and he failed to do it.

Now I'm supposed to be impressed with his ability to football and get a full ride to Tennessee?

I'm not impressed. He's a monster who RAPED HIS OWN COUSIN WITH A PLUNGER.
