About

I'm a native Oregonian who's transplanted to the Washington D.C. area for professional reasons. I eat and breath college football year round, and am particularly 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, and I definitely turn my attention to hoops once bowl season is over. The NBA is a league of overpaid street ballers, however, NBA Playoffs are fun to watch when guys start playing defense and a sliver of team basketball is represented.

As an Oregon alum, I'm a kool-aid drinking Duck but I try to always find that middle ground an be non-biased.

A personal goal is to see a game in every FBS football stadium, even a handful of FCS would be fun as well, I'll just share that I'm not even close to achieving that goal.
