About Matthew »

A little about me... I am a freshman at LSU, and I love sports, especially LSU sports. Sports Writing is not what I want to do professionally, but its in the same boat as what I want to do. What I want to do, ladies and gentlemen, is be a broadcaster. Working for ESPN as either a Sportscenter anchor, or a college baseball analyst/broadcaster, would be my dream job. Recently, I was offered a position as a featured writer for the LSU Football page. Also, I am forming a band here in the Baton Rouge area, so if any of you guys need a band for anything, let me know and I'll see what we can do.

    If you've never played fantasy march madness before, you gotta give it a try on my website! Here's why its better than brackets and a top players ranking list to get you started.

    Hey Matthew,

    We rotate the communities that get spotlighted on the front page based upon activity. Thus the best way to ensure that College Baseball remains on the front page is to write articles, post comments, and convince the other writers within your community to do the same...

    I'm sure you're already acquainted with the college baseball page...but just in case: http://bleacherreport.com/college-baseball

    Please let me know if you have further questions...Keep up the great work!

    Hey Matthew, I just read your LSU article ... glad to see someone writing about the Tigers in basketball (there hasn't been much so far this season, despite their record!).

    BTW, if you'd like to participate in my Conference Rankings for CBB, there's still time to submit a top-10 (or top-whatever you want to go up to) on my profile or email to nathanmedic2003[at]yahoo.com.

    I'd love to have your input, since we're a little overrepresented by Big Easters at the moment. ;) It goes into a weekly column, similar to Jameson Fleming's top-25 team rankings.

    Thanks in advance if you get a chance!
