About Dustin »

Dustin is a Senior Computer Science student at Oklahoma Christian University, and is an avid University of Oklahoma supporter. He grew up in Rochester, Minnesota, and has been a lifetime fan of the Minnesota Twins and the Green Bay Packers. He is most interested in MLB, the NFL, and NCAA Football, but also follows the PGA Tour, the NHL, the NBA, NCAA Basketball, and most recently, professional Soccer. Dustin's other interests besides sports include electronics, programming, video games, and spending time with friends and family. Dustin is getting married to the love of his life this summer, and hopes to graduate in December of this year.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Brett Favre, Reggie White, Kevin Garnett, Kirby Puckett, Torii Hunter, Joe Mauer, Adrian Peterson
Favorite Sports Teams

Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Twins, Oklahoma Sooners
All Time Sports Moment

Superbowl I, II, and XXXI.... the Packers Superbowl wins, Lombardi and Favre.
Most Memorable Game Attended

A playoff game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the LA Lakers
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken's consecutive starts (If Manning or Brady were injured as seriously as Favre, his would be unbreakable too)
Ruth or Mays?

Ted Williams or Lou Gehrig (any of the 4 were amazing)
Unitas or Montana?

Brett Favre or John Elway (two most winningest QB's, Favre: 3 MVP's, only one losing season in 16 years)
Pele or Maradona?

Tiger Woods (I have no opinion on the other two)
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

1) Big 12 for brute strength, 2) Big 10 for tradition, 3) SEC for pure athleticism, 0) Pac 10 for hype

Hey Dustin, I really liked your article on the AL central, you are right that payroll doesn't mean playoffs. Do you think the Tigers will stay down though? Their pitching is weak, but their bats are for real!

Good analysis, and I hope to see you around here more often!

Thanks for the comment on my Twin's piece. I too like the way the Twin's offense is going this year...but time will tell more.

If you haven't, check out Sinker's blog over at the Star Tribune. It's pretty funny. Here's a link:

Hey Dustin,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Dustin!
