About Lace »

Lace Banachek is a former resident of Ventura County California pre 1994. Lace Banachek enjoys diverse arts. As a young boy he use to box in a boys club. Later on in life Lace studied Martial Arts. Lace said, in the beginning it was Karate. In the later years he enjoyed Kung Fu (White Tiger).

Another art of his is music. Lace has been awarded for songwriting contests he has entered. Lace enjoys writing lyrics and setting them to composition. Some of Lace's music has had airtime.

Lace loves sports, mainly football. Lace is a huge Boise State Bronco football fan. Lace say's, "I am not saying I am huge. I am saying I like the Broncos a lot." The Boise State Broncos are the first college football program Lace has enjoyed since Ara Parseghian’s and Dan Devine’s Notre Dame teams of the 70’s. Lace Banachek use to listen to sports on the radio in the 70's - boxing and football mostly – “that was exciting in those days."

Lace Banachek has also received some acclaim as a sports writer. He is currently Bleachers number one football writer for Boise State Broncos (BSU) and is a featured columnist at that site. Lace was listed in the top fifteen of the writers specializing in the NFL's Minnesota Vikings and had written for the New York Giants now and then. However, Lace devotes all his writing time at present toward the Boise State Broncos.

Lace,
Thanks for the kind words. As for my brother, no he is now an NOPD guy, just like my pop and way too many other family members to name. Although he did coach with Gary Andersen of Utah State, formerly with the Sugar Bowl winning Utes. I think they coached at one time with Kyle Whittingham together, who recently added John Pease to his coaching line up.

Thanks a lot man, not just the catchy name than? I really appreciate it, as I really enjoy YOUR writting, so comparing mine to yours is a real great compliment comming from you.
Look forward to your feedback on my future pieces (and you can expect to see mine in yours, after all, if we write the same, we should be able to give great critics to one another)

See ya
