Brian's Bio

I have loved sports for as long as I remember. Growing up in Texas, I grew to love high school football. I spent my college days at Texas Tech University where I received both my Bachelors and Masters in Business, so I like to keep with the BIG 12 and absolutely love college football.

Currently I live in Hoboken, NJ, just outside NYC. While I haven't converted to a Yankees or Giants fan yet it is hard not to get swept up in the lore of New York City sports! I don't root for one specific sports team; I simply love to watch for the sport of it.

Currently, MMA takes up 95% of my time in regards to sports. I remember watching the first UFC's with my high school friends and it has been great to see the resurrection and meteoric rise of MMA. Feel free to contact me at brianc.oswald@gmail.com

Some of articles I am most proud of to date:

A few Fox Sports articles:

    Yo Brian,

    Was just dropping my article off on some people's boards and noticed yours.

    Wanted to preemptively apologize for possibly stepping on your toes. I'm guessing the same thing happened to you, but I was asked a while ago to put together a list of my top 100 and—due to altitude sickness—couldn't get it out by last week like I planned.

    Not that 2 takes on such a diverse assignment is a bad thing, just wanted to make sure you didn't think I saw your idea, liked it, and knocked it off.

    Andrew
