About

During my college years I always enjoyed writing and reading about sports. I started writing on this site for fun back in 2008. I wrote articles for my Universities' athletic department from 2009-2012. This caused me to take a bit of a hiatus from writing for the BR. I am back now and ready to start writing articles regularly for the site that first drew my interest. Who would've thought one of those Facebook ads on the side of a page would actually be worthwhile huh?

    Hey Marcus—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

    I've been spending time on our T wolves page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

    Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

    If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

    Thanks so much,

    Dave Mo

    Marcus,

    Do you have any interest in launching a North Carolina Blog and being the editor? Email me at joe@sportstechnow.com if you are interested.

    You're lucky you write good articles, I would never otherwise become a fan of a Miami fan. Maybe there's hope for you Hurricanes after all, haha.

    I'm fairly sure Tiger shot -12 at the 2000 US Open and won by 15 shots. Both are records, but your numbers seem off.

    Hey Marcus, I hope my second reply back to you didn't upset you as much as the first one (on the article re: GSP not fighting training partners or friends). And I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the Matt Brown and Amir fight, it was one of the very best fights on Tuf 7 IMHO.
