"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
-Buddha

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I've grown up a baseball kid with a love for college football. I've been a Cubs and Fighting Irish fan for so long that I don't really know how I became a fan of either team. Since graduating from high school, I have gained extensive experience coaching baseball at the high school level and minor experience coaching 10-12 year olds and working out some college players. Currently, I am a Sport Management major due for my internship in the spring of 2011 with a minor league baseball team.

If anyone has any matters about the Notre Dame Football community, or any other community here on Bleacher Report, feel free to send me a private message through the "Send Matt a Message" button below my picture on the left. I do occasionally take short breaks from B/R for personal, work, or school-related matters, but I do promise that I will get back to everyone as soon as I can and that I will not be abandoning the site any time soon.

When it comes to problems in comment threads, I suggest keeping in mind Proverbs 12:16: "A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult." However, if it gets out of hand, flagging the comment usually gets the job done.
