About Mike »

I'm a former writer for the student newspaper at UW-Madison. After a few years working for the man, I'm back in school trying to get my teaching certificate. I still want to pursue writing long-term, but for now, I'm enjoying writing for fun and learning some things about sports/whatnot in the bleachers.

Hi Mike!

My good friend Leroy Watson and I have composed a piece about the history of Bill Russell. It's actually a two-part series, and we'd really love for you to check out Pt. 1.

Also, due to our extensive, hard work on this (gave this baby a good three weeks), we'd really appreciate a comment for feedback purposes.

Thanks for your time!

Hey,

After the great success of my first article about the uniform numbers 1-10, I have come back with the next installment, with the best players to wear the uniform numbers 11-20. I hope you can take a look and even comment on my choices. Thanks in advance!

I think the other student newspaper might be a little perturbed about calling yours THE student newspaper. I'm a current student so you're going to have to clarify which one you used to write for.

Well said my friend and welcome. I debated on writing an article about the topic, but after reading yours must applaud you for saying everything that needed to be said on it. Keep bringing the goods!

Welcome to the Bleacher Report. Your first article was nothing short of sensational. Keep up the great work and hope to see more of your articles in the future.

If I can help in anyway, please let me know by posting a note on my bio. You can access that by clicking on my picture.
