About

I suppose I have been a bit of a drifter during my years. I went to college straight out of high school because I was supposed to. After a year I dropped out to pursue a career in music. Looking back, it sounds incredibly naive but I had the time of my life. Over that period I met everyone I consider a close friend today while touring all over the country playing music. I hit 25, however, and came to the quick realization that there is no way to make a career out of it and stumbled back to college. That is where I reside today as a proud Finance senior at the University of Oklahoma. Writing has always been a fun hobby of mine, but after coming across this site I decided to combine it with my previously useless wealth of sports knowledge. Score!

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Watching the 2004 Red River Rivalry six rows behind the Longhorn bench. Jason White and Adrian Peterson vs. Vince Young and Cedric Benson. I was right behind Cedric and we heckled him into moving to the other side of the bench as a freshamn AD broke off 225 yards in a 12-0 Sooners win.

    Hey Eric, thanks for asking. The em-dash is the longest type of dash and is created by typing SHIFT-OPTION-(dash) on a Mac and ALT-0151 on a PC (hold down ALT while typing 0151 on the numeric keypad). If you're working on a PC without a numeric keypad, you'll have to copy and paste em-dashes as necessary.
