About

I am, first and foremost a sports fan like the rest of us here. I am the lead college football and recruiting analyst for 5thQuarterSports.com and those are my two biggest passions. I seek to provide useful insights into the world of college athletics for the fan who needs just a little more information than the ESPN box score can provide.

If you like college athletics and are interested in recruiting you will likely enjoy reading my articles. As a Michigan fan, some of you in Ohio may hate my articles, but I encourage the debate and rivalry as that is what makes the world of college sports so entertaining.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Charles Woodson, Magic Johnson, "Pistol" Pete Marovich, Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson and Roger Federer

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    University of Michigan (All Sports)

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bo Schembechler, Coach K, Bobby Knight, John Wooden and Bill Walsh

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Desmond Howard's "Hello Heisman" punt return against Ohio St. in 1991

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    The Braylon Edwards wide receiving clinic against MSU on Oct. 30th, 2004 during the last 7 minutes of the game for one of the greatest comebacks I have ever seen.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    I always used to say Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points in an NBA game, but with the current state of the NBA, I will go with the Joe DiMaggio 56-game hit streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Willie Mays. I'm an athlete guy and Willie Mays beats out the Babe every time in that category.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Joe Montana. I was too young to fully appreciate his greatest years, but even as a very young child I can remember something magical about his game.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Michael Jordan. He's the greatest player to ever play the game and it's not close. Russell is a born winner, but if you have to win one game it's an easy choice.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. Like Jordan, he's easily the greatest player of all time. 215 points in a season is absolutely ridiculous.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Admittedly not a soccer historian, but I love watching Brazil play the game and nobody epitomizes that style and grace like Pele.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Huge fan of both, but Federer is the greatest of all time. In elite company with Jordan, Gretzky, etc.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger. Even given his recent...umm, struggles, I think he will bounce back. Winning the U.S. Open on one leg was one of the greatest performances I have ever seen in any sport.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Given my extreme dislike for NASCAR, I'm going to have to go with Tom Petty. One of the greatest songwriters of all time. (And yes, I know it's referring to Richard)

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    I'm not even remotely qualified to weigh in on this one.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Overall my loyalties lie with the Big Ten, but I love ACC basketball and SEC football as well.
