Josh's Bio

Josh is a recent graduate of the University of Florida and self-appointed baseball and college football guru. It is his intention to one day take Chris Low's jobs as ESPN's SEC Football blogger/reporter, because really... who even likes that guy. His influences are Clay Travis, and.. well, I guess that's it. Also, he and Erin Andrews attended the same high school (Bloomingdale Senior High School, Go Bulls!...1st winning season in football in school history... yeah!), so he's got connections... sort of.. not really.

Favorite Sports Teams

Florida Gators, Tampa Bay Bucs, Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Rays, NY Yankees (dont judge me... )
All Time Sports Moment

Thats so hard for me not to be biased and pick a UF championship... but I'll say Tiger Woods 2008 US Open Championship was very impressive, all things considered.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Jarvis Moss blocking the field goal to beat South Carolina and keep 2006 Championship season alive.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Roger Maris's 61... non juiced
Ruth or Mays?

Mays was probably more talented, but the Babe was a badass
Unitas or Montana?

Montana got it done when he had to...
Jordan or Russell?

Really?
Gretzky or Orr?

The Great One
Pele or Maradona?

Due to my general disdain for soccer, and therefore lack of knowledge on the subject, I will have to say no comment.
Federer or Sampras?

I like Pete a lot, and I didn't really like Federer until Nadal came around, who really don't like... but I'll take Tampa native Pete.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger is the greatest golfer to have ever set foot on this earth. Period.
Petty or Earnhardt?

The Intimidator
Schumacher or Senna?

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

Thats like asking whats better? AIDS, Cancer, Ebola, Mad Cow Disease, or Free Chipotle?.... SEC

You would do some pretty simple things like encourage others to join the site and write about UF basketball, do QandA's with others, roundtables, maybe do power rankings with other SEC community leaders. It's not a lot of work really.
