Shaun's Bio

My name is Shaun Hart. I'm a Penn State graduate who loves Nittany Lions football and all Philadelphia sports.

Because Penn State basketball barely qualifies as a Division I team, I'm a die-hard Kansas Jayhawks hoops fan. Their 1988 National Championship is my first college basketball memory and inspired me to be a fan ever since.

My favorite sport has always been college basketball, highlighted by March Madness, for which I would skip school and take days off from work in order to watch the Thursday and Friday opening round games. There's no better event in all of sports!

Fun facts:
- I was a contestant on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" in 2005.
- I am an all-time MVP (98th-percentile) in ESPN's Uber Challenge for fantasy sports: http://games.espn.go.com/uber/front
- I am a writer for The Sports Chat Place — http://sportschatplace.com — check it out!
