Emily's Bio

Hi :) I'm Emily. I'm a 20-year-old junior journalism major at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. I have always loved sports, especially my Pittsburgh teams! My favorite 'Burgh team is the Pirates, even though they break my heart every season. I am a busy college student, with a lot on her plate! I work for my school's newspaper as a features editor; I have been on my school's student government for three years, and I am currently the President Pro-Tempore and a committee chairperson. I also am a statistician for our Division II basketball teams, and I'm active in our campus' dance ensemble. And, when I get some free time, I just like to hang out with my friends and family and my dogs. I am excited to become a part of the Bleacher Report team as an editorial intern, and I'm thankful that I found the site! :) That's about it!

All Time Sports Moment

Once, after a rare, but very exciting Buccos' comeback, I started chatting with an old man in Dunkin Donuts later that evening. He told me he had season tickets, and he was bummed that he missed such a great game, and he didn't get his Willie Stargell figurine. So I gave him mine. He was so touched he insisted he had to do something for me in return. The next day, he came to see me at the store where I worked and gave me his tickets for that night. And I got to see another amazing game with a Jack Wilson grand slam. :)
Most Memorable Game Attended

The year after I graduated high school, the football team made a run at the state championship 10 years after Brandon Short had played for the team. I followed the team the whole way, and they finally made it to Hershey for the big dance. However, I didn't get to attend this game. Unfortunately, in my freshman year of college, I had mono. I had to sit in my small dorm room by myself and watch the Tigers roll to victory. Being there or not, I will never forget it.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Jumpin' Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak
Ruth or Mays?

the Babe
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas was before my time, so Montana
Pele or Maradona?

Don't follow soccer much, sorry
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I'd have to go with the Big East

SEC media policy makes it hard on fans, freelance journalists (of which many B/R writers are both). Thoughts?

I am surprised by the number of people who actually want to reserve the right to bad-mouth their teams! I offer constructive criticism, of course, but one in particular wants to be able to say, "they suck," if they do.

I don't get it. Will YOU take the pledge?

Hey - thanks for being one of my "fans". I'm looking forward to writing an interactive series about college football each week this season, and I'd love it if you have any input or ideas. My first article's coming Sunday, but I previewed the series here:

Thanks so much for becoming my first and favorite fan!

Hang in there rooting for the Pirates....I am a New York Jets fan and I can empathize with your plight....Something's got to give for us eventually...And, I like to think, it will!

Keep up the writing....

Best always!

Going for AP style points, I see. :)

I think I'm gonna make a rule that all people who edit my posts have to be my "fans" first. :)
