Dan's Bio

I'm a creative writing major at SUNY Oswego, and as journalism is no longer my thing, my writing may at times stray from typical journalistic style and end up closer to a creative essay.

I'm the featured columnist for Syracuse football here on Bleacher Report.

Sports and writing are my two passions (as well as the only two things I may at times be considered knowledgeable in), and I'm particularly passionate about my hometown Syracuse Orange. The majority of my other rooting interests are derived from my years following the Orange as well. I follow the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL, the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA and despite their having no connection to Syracuse that I'm aware of, I also love the Boston Red Sox.

You can also follow my random, sometimes schizophrenic thoughts on sports and life on Twitter.

Feel free to post any articles on my bulletin board. I'm a general sports nut so I don't mind reading just about anything and I'm more than happy to offer my thoughts. Bonus points are awarded for college football and basketball though.

All Time Sports Moment

Aside from the obvious choice of Syracuse's national championship in 2003; the 2009 Big East Tournament quarterfinals between Syracuse and UConn that the Orange won in 6 overtimes was definitely the greatest game I've ever seen.
Most Memorable Game Attended

I've got two: For football, Syracuse/Virginia Tech in 1998 and for basketball Syracuse/Pitt in 2003.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Possibly Bonds' single season homerun record now that steroids are banned in baseball.

Hey Dan,

I just completed the second of a three part series between myself, Mike Kline and Justin McTeer, breaking down the Duke Blue Devils basketball season.

I highlight the back court of Duke and the different players that will need to contribute to the team. If you get a chance, check it out.

Feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!

Hey, I just wanted to drop you a note. I had pulled the conference metrics from a previous bleacher report that were for last season instead of the previous 4. This painted the PAC 10 in a much worse light than they are.

I wanted to let you know.

Sorry about that. I should have gone to the source for that data, especially as I linked it.

It's time to ask yourself do your suffer from the Crimson Tide Stain? Obviously you dont but I wonder if our good friends Larry and Franklin are suffering from such a terrible illness.

Jimmy Clausen has been the best quarterback in the past 240 minutes of college football. Will he be invited to New York this year, or will the Tebow's of the nation get their pre-reserved seats?

Don't be shy.

Haha, I'll see what I can do after the Northwestern game. Is it just me or have the Orange's receivers been stricken by Pass dropping disease this year. Lol
