About

I'm a native Oregonian who's transplanted to New York City via Eugene and Washington DC for professional reasons (International Finance). I eat and breathe college football year round, and am predominantly a Pac-12 fan. I do enjoy the NFL, watching former collegiate guys you follow for four years make a splash in the pros. College basketball is great albeit a watered down regular season, and I definitely turn my attention to hoops once bowl season is over. Living in NYC I have grown to enjoy watching the Knicks at the Garden and it’s tough to beat a warm summer evening at Yankee Stadium with their rowdy fans in the bleachers eating a Nathan’s chilidog.

A personal goal is to see a game in every BCS football stadium, even a handful of other FBS non-BCS schools would be fun as well (i.e. the Kibbie Dome or scenic Michie Stadium in NY where Army plays it's home games)... I'll just share that I'm not even close to achieving that goal.
