About Jake »

I discovered my love for sports journalism when I joined the newspaper at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor. I earned a bachelor's degree from Albion College in American Studies and a minor in journalism. I worked for the school paper my first three years as sports editor and also editor-in-chief for two semesters. I currently work as a stringer for wral.com, primarily covering Duke basketball, and the Associated Press. I also write for Basketball Times Magazine

I'd like to see Tebow win, but if he doesn't I'm cool with that too. I'm hoping for a national title. You're welcome for the pick, it was a good article. Send me your links whenever you put something new up.
