About Matt »

Summer job + summer workouts = very limited time to log on to Bleacher Report, sorry in advance.

My name's Matt and I'm currently enrolled at St. Cloud State University. I was majoring in Business, then realized how boring it was for me to listen and learn about economics and all sorts of math.. Now I'm majoring in Mass Communications with an emphasis on Print Journalism.

How I found this site? Well I was looking at some articles on Fox Sports and found it interesting how the Bleacher Report can give fans a chance to publish their own articles. Now I'm using this as a place to work on my writing.
Though I've had this account for like half a year, I only started actually writing articles in Mid-March, then stopped for 2-3 months because of up and coming finals. My posts are pretty inconsistent.

Hobbies...well, I love sports, but I spend most of my time playing and watching basketball, music, getting into shape, writing, reading especially about sports, enjoying warm weather, etc.

I have a lot of interests that I will plan on posting in the future (not like anyone probably cares too much). It's all on my facebook page anyways. Friend me if you'd like.

e-mail: jibbers_30@hotmail.com
I will never get a twitter. Having facebook is enough to get me fired from a job, ha.

Anyways, have a good day!

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Lebron James, Albert Pujols, Wayne Ellington, and Ray Allen just to name a few. I have a lot of favorite athletes.
Favorite Sports Teams

Minnesota sports, UNC, Uconn, Portland Trailblazers, tons of others.
Favorite Coaches

Tubby Smith, Roy Williams, Jim Calhoun. Basically any coach that has built a great winning program.
All Time Sports Moment

Right now I would have to say watching the Syracuse-Uconn game that went to six overtimes. Wow. It was just like those B-Dubs commercials.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Hitting two game winners in high school, but also playing against Cole Aldrich in AAU. What a sight.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripkin's games played streak
Ruth or Mays?

...I really have to pick?
Unitas or Montana?

Tarvaris Jackson. Just kidding...
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan because I watched him as a kid and he's changed the game so much it seems.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretsky because I used to watch him too
Pele or Maradona?

Pele...go Brazil!
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger
Petty or Earnhardt?

Don't like racing really
Schumacher or Senna?

Who?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I am in Big 10 country, but ACC and Big East basketball are intense.
