Anthony 's Bio

Anthony Elias. I'm 16 and I live in a city laden with football tradition, with two of the longest running football rivalries (HS-Easton v. P'burg), and (CFB-Lafayette v. Lehigh) located in the great city of Easton, PA. I am a diehard Penn State and Phillies fan, and also like the Oakland Raiders (ouch), and the Philadelphia 76ers. College Football on Saturdays is my version of heaven, and I aspire to become the third man on ESPN's College Gameday once stupid Lee Corso retires! I look forward to reading tons of great writing, and hope you look forward to reading mine!

I also write for informativesports.com, and am the Senior Baseball Editor.

Hey Anthony,

It was a tough loss. Although I will admit it wasn't as tough as the loss to Florida. Not making excuses at all, but Utah we were unprepared and unmanned. If thats the right word for it. Florida, we didn't get an intentional grounding call, Javi made a huge mistake, and we didn't finish the game that we had dominated so far. Now, THAT was a disappointing game. Ha.

Bama had a great '08 season though. Undefeated regular season in the second year of a coach is nothing to be ashamed of. Plus, I'm always proud of my Tide. :)

Anthony,

This one takes a twist in the middle and I'm not sure if it works. I guess we'll see. I'm sure you can relate though. :)

thanks for the note anthony! i respect you a lot and your newest article proves you are a gracious loser... sometimes thats more impressive than being a good winner.

I hope you realize usc fans aren't a-holes and anyone who says anything to piss you off is probably just trying to pile on and doesn't really follow usc and psu and football. PSU is a solid team and I still think they are a top 5 team as I said before but people underestimated this usc team because of oregon st game where we simply weren't prepared and had no heart, which was unacceptable too. thanks for the nice comment and psu fans like you are class acts, thanks.

Instead of studying for finals, I thought it would be fun to determine the NFL playoffs from a different perspective. If you have time, check it out and let me know what you think!

I think I've found the accurate way of how the BCS works...and whoever wrote this is a genius.

I have been. I have been a tad preoccupied. I think this article explains why.

I'd love your feedback when you get a chance.

I realized the BCS is better than a play-off, and decided it needed to be defended. I'd love your input.
