About Patrick »

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama and moved to Chattanooga, TN. I live here with my wife Sarah. Somehow God thought it a good enough idea to let me be responsible for another persons well being so we were given a 1 year old boy in which we named Sam. He wasn't 1yr old when my wife had him, he was new then, he's 1 now. He loves to eat a bunch, poop but above all else he loves crimson. He watches with his daddy every Saturday with looks of worry and embarrassment at how his father is behaving. Hopefully he will become a little more well rounded than myself, but that's why there's mommy. Roll Tide everybody, I hope you enjoy some of the articles, I've been enjoying all of yours, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

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

I'd appreciate it if you had the chance.

Hey Patrick! I am actually attending Indiana University for a Journalism career as well. If I do not like your article I will not put 'Great Article.'

I am really honest about my feedback. If I do not agree with something, I will tell the writer. I am here to help others improve their writing. And for BR here, as long as you have a passion for what you write for, it really shows through on your writing.

So the answer to your question, if some one says 'Great Article' or Great Story or whatever, the editors will more than likely mean it. It they don't put anything, and just put what you need to improve on, they may not have liked it!!

GOOD LUCK!!!
