About

Born and raised in North Alabama......Florence to be specific.

Attended the University of North Alabama after having lost a full-ride to the University of Alabama in the Spring semester of my Senior year of high school. Its a long story, but it all worked out for the best. I've been in the military since 2001 and greatly enjoy what I do.

I started contributing here just to occupy some time when it became available. As of late, I haven't had the luxury to write anything worthwhile, but whenever you come across something of mine, I don't mind any form of feedback or criticism. Like I said, this just became a hobby of sorts, but I have enjoyed it.

I try to put an honest effort into to everything I write, so I hope you enjoy.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Montana, Favre, Jordan, Bird, Kirby Puckett, Maddux, and Dale Murphy.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    The Crimson Tide, the University of North Alabama, and the Atlanta Braves

  • Favorite Coaches

    Paul "Bear" Bryant

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    '92 Sugar Bowl when George Tegue ran down "the fastest man in CFB", Lamar Thomas, from behind and stripped the ball away to prevent a TD.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    All 3 of the DIV II national championships that North Alabama won in the '90s.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Not a huge NASCAR fan, but given the number of races available to win in any current year, I feel safe in saying that the King Richard's mark of 27 wins in 1967 is pretty secure.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana hands down....

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Maradona without a doubt.....I'll be spending my next 3 years in Buenos Aires, so I really have no choice because two things there will get you stabbed/punched/kicked/shot or all of the above quicker than anything else:1. stating that Pele (or anyone) is/was better than (pre- or post-cocaine Maradona) 2. being on the wrong side of a Boca vs. River argument (much worse than any rivlary we have here)

  • Federer or Sampras?

    What is this "tennis" that you speak of?

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger....I had doubts until the '08 US Open.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty has the advantage in most records, but neither won 3 in a row.....especially in a playoff, so I'll go with Jimmy Johnson.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    If I have to "google" at least one of the names, I don't feel qualified to give an answer.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Ala "Frickin'" Bama.......solely. I couldn't care less about the conferences as a whole. Trying to rank or compare them is a useless, unending argument that is all too often dominated by personal/media bias. Personally, I refuse to be a conference lover and don't recommend it to any else.
