About Andrew »

To the left is a picture of me near the top of Mt. Lemmon -- the only location of snow in Tucson, Arizona.

Currently in high school, I run cross-country and track (one-mile and two-mile). I have a deep love for all Minnesota sports, but I have a deeper love for my Creator, Jesus Christ. I believe that I am saved by grace, through faith in Christ alone. I hope to bring you entertaining and relevant articles while I rant on whichever Minnesota sport happens to be struggling.

I recently came closer to Mexico when I moved to Tucson, Arizona, but moved farther away from my Minnesota sports.

No, I don't limit my interests to Minnesota sports. I love all sports, but I tend to gravitate towards baseball. I will try to find peace with Arizona fans and maybe pick up a team or three.

I may have to see someone about this, but I almost enjoy the MLB off-season better than the regular season...

...maybe it's something in the 100-degree-at-8-am-air...(but don't worry, it's a dry heat)...

I love to come home on Sunday to three football games, then another on Monday.

I am one of the Minnesota Twins Featured Columnists here on Bleacher Report. Feel free to drop me a line if you want!

On a side note, I was the feature story on SI's Campus Clicks for July 22nd, 2008. Here's the link:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/sioncampus/07/22/ralphie-versus-uga/index.html

I also write a blog called Primary Focus.
http://www.theprimaryfocus.net/

Also, feel free to email me and yell at or compliment me. You can reach me at:

Instead of studying for finals, I thought it would be fun to determine the NFL playoffs from a different perspective. If you have time, check it out and let me know what you think!
