Anthony's Bio

I'm a Double Domer with a strong interest for Fighting Irish football. I specialize in the numbers, meaning I track statistics and the schematic chess matches that go on during the games. I also write editorials about whatever piques my interest. Finally, I have my own college football computer ranking system which can be found at http://ClashmoreMike.com where I write.

No problem on the edits Anthony. Unfortunately B/R seems to be having some sort of glitch with the tagging system, as I can't apply tags either. When the problem resolves, I'll be sure to slap the appropriate tags on your piece.

This is actually the most important piece to me that I have written, so I kindly ask that you give your feedback on the situation, and help with the promotion of the article.

Thanks as always guys,
