Hi all. I'm Anthony and I'm a recent graduate of the infamous UC Santa Barbara. I have a huge passion for researching/writing on basically everything.

Having been an MMA fanatic since UFC 1 and being a soccer fan (not just every four years), I apologize in advance if I tend to get very elitist and snobby when it comes to those two topics. I also like to fashion myself a pro golfer and surfer. Unfortunately, no one else shares those sentiments about me..

I like to read (favorite author: Thomas Sowell), watch the History/PBS/Military channels and wrestled in the...the...THE worst, torturous years of my life (pathetic claim to fame: OC Register "Athlete of the Week"). I am literally blessed not to be dead from the literally asinine and inefficient weight-cutting tactics I employed (every horror story times 10, I guarantee you). Anybody who's even a .250 wrestler at the college level (junior college included) is an absolute beast (and semi-retarded, seeing as how it is THE most physically draining/mentally-killing sport with very possibly the LEAST glory and appreciation).

Please, feel free to contact: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/anthony-kang/23/607/342 and http://twitter.com/kangpin

Anybody who denies SEC football is hands down THE toughest, loses any and all credibility. That being said, overall in all sports, Pac-12

Thanks for the edit Anthony. Good catch in regards to the readers comment on George Wilson. I meant it was the first signing of the inevitable flurry that will come with teams being allowed to talk to free agents now. Again, much appreciated.
