Illinois a Dark Horse In The Suddenly Loaded Big Ten
01/12/2009
My name is Benji Maurer. I grew up in Moweaqua, IL, and currently reside in Tuscola, IL with my wife of 3 years, Liz. I am an avid sports fan, and am a die hard fan of the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Illinois Fighting Illini.
Hey Benji,
I had an awful day today, so I took it out on MLB. Here's my first humor piece on "the worst case scenarios for all 30 teams." If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.

As always, thanks for the support, and I hope you enjoy the read/makes your day better!

Hey Benji,
Yao Ming has done so much for the game of basketball, that I felt compelled to write a tribute. I'd love for you to take a look and let me know what you think! Again, I hope my passion comes through and it's a good read.

Hey Benji,
I hope you have some time to read this article, as it really means a lot to me. It's an article about why we need sports in our lives now more than ever, and how its impact on our future generations are so important. Hopefully, my passion came through and it's a good article.
I'd love to get your feedback on it if you get the chance: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/134273-the-love-of-the-game-why-we-need-sports-now-more-than-ever

Hey Benji,
If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check out my recent analysis on Derrek Lee's batting woes. I take an interesting perspective on the issue and offer some possible solutions, and I'd appreciate your comments and feedback very much!

DeleteHey Benji,
I think the best part of sports is the passion involved, so I wrote an opinionated piece on why I think a perfect athlete is capable of crying, both win or lose. I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. If you’re too busy, no worries.
