About

I have a wide variety of experiences that vary from farm hand, and kitchen manager, to intelligence analyst in the US Army. I have traveled all around the world and I enjoy traveling greatly.

I am an avid college and professional sports fan that includes the majority of sports, and I most enjoy football. I spend much of my off time researching statistics, and historical information on players, teams, and programs.

    Matt... thank you thank you thank you for all the posts and all the reads and all the conversation over the last few years... but I'm pulling the plug here. I just don't have time anymore... and B/R wants constant articles. They demoted me, I quit! Keep the conversation going... keep the haters down... I'll pop in every now and again to see what's up... but for now... time to slip quietly into the shadows!
    Good luck man, and GO IRISH!

    Gave you some time to let that loss soak in, only icing that T'eo lied about having a girlfriend. 42-14.

    Hey Matthew. I wanted to share with you this spreadsheet I made. It has the games ND and Bama played against current top 25 teams, with stats from the games and how well they did compared to that teams average. Then it takes the difference between the two to see who did it better (positive ND, negative Bama). Hope it gives you some ammo!

    Maybe we can go back to the Rockne days and play 10 away games? This is weird. It's like they are a different team at home. Lethargic... slow... lacking intensity and urgency. Especially on offense. Just a mess. They make everyone look like Alabama at home, and crush everyone they play away. I don't get it.

    It's coming Matt! I had to spend the weekend in Dallas, and flew home sunday night into a hurricane! Go figure! I still haven't seen the game because I was on stage during. I'm hoping to watch it tonight and put my thoughts down in cyberspace.
    How about them Irish!
