About College Football »

I'm just your average guy who loves sports.

I also like to cover more than just college football. This includes baseball, college basketball, hockey, auto racing (NASCAR and sometimes IRL), and the NFL.

College football is the dominant sport in my life, though. I watch every game that I possibly can. I have season tickets for the Vanderbilt Commodores since the stadium is just an hour from where I live. I love everything Tennessee. I root for just about every Tennessee team there is.

Hope you've learned a little more about me.

    Well, there's several. Vince Young's TD for Texas with little time left on the clock in the 2006 Rose Bowl, the Manning-Tyree play in Super Bowl 42, Casey Clausen's Hail Mary TD pass to James Banks right before halftime in the 2003 Florida-Tennessee game, California-Stanford 1982, final play, Matt Davison's TD catch with no time left on the clock in the #1 Nebraska-Missouri game, The Music City Miracle, Eddie Robinson's final game, all of the FSU Wide Rights, the Miracle at Michigan, Fifth Down, the last game at Yankee Stadium, Casey Clausen's 26 yard pass to C.J. Fayton on 4th and 19 against Alabama in 2003 in the second OT to keep the Vols alive in a game they would win three OTs later 51-43, and Clint Stoerner's fumble with 1:45 left that kept Tennessee's unbeaten season alive.
