Matt's Bio

I am 28 years old, was born and raised here in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am a Finance Manager for a dealership in West Knoxville. I am a veteran of the US Air Force, aircraft maintenance was my AFSC. I was active duty for 4 years and served overseas and got out in 2004. My Father and older brother are HUGE Tennessee Sports fans, so I have been around it as long as I can remember. So, it would be safe to say that I grew up around UT football and I love Tennessee football! That is the main reason I came on here, but I have found out since I have been on here that I like to know what is going with all the teams in the SEC.

Football and golf are my favorite sports. I grew up playing football and played up into High School and unfortunately a shoulder injury ended my football endeavors. I was a speedster so I tried running track the following year , but I never really got into it and in that time frame I picked up golf, which I have grown to love over the years. I was very fortunate to get the opportunity to play on some beautiful golf courses in Northern California where I was stationed. There are some very nice courses here in East Tennessee as well. The only problem with golf is I wish I had more time to play!

• Most Unbreakable Sports Record

  Jerry Rice's 22,895 career receiving yards. Not many people can average over 1,400 receiving yards per season in their 30s. Even a young star like the Patriots' Randy Moss would have to average over 1,500 yards per season for the next decade to come close, and by then he'd be close to 40. So it's safe to say this record is not getting touched - at least in this lifetime anyway.
