Justin's Bio

Hey I'm Justin Cocchiola and I'm a student at Virginia Tech. I'm interning for bleacherreport.com this semester as a campus spokesperson, which means informing you, the reader, of anything football related going on or around campus.

I am a mass communication major with a minor in professional writing, and I'm doing everything in my power to become a sports broadcaster/anchor/reporter after graduation.

Hey guys,

I just put up the roundtable article. All you guys need to do is go in and edit the article and put in your answers to this week's questions. Feel free to add any slides with additional questions too. I'll check back during the week and answer any if you post any. After your done, just save your edits and enjoy your free time till next week's new round of questions.

Thanks again

Hey Justin!

I was wondering if you would be interested in taking part in a college football roundtable. I did a couple of these on the Orioles, and they were quite a hit. I've assembled a writer a piece from the ACC, Big 12, SEC, and PAC 10, so we've got some of the best writers from each of the best conferences.

Basically, it would consist of me writing several questions in an article and you and the other guys posting answers to them. It would be some simple stuff, such as "who's the best team in the SEC?" and some more involved stuff like "which coach is on the hottest hot seat?"

I was gonna try to make it a weekly thing, covering each weekend's games, and we can discuss which team was the most impressive, and which player stood out the most to you.

Let me know if you have any interest, and I'll put one together for the Monday or Tuesday after this weekend's games. Take it easy!
