About

A Nebraska Cornhuskers fan by birth and breeding, I added the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Bengals to my repertoire of teams to follow in my formative years. The Royals and Chiefs soon followed based mostly on proximity

My sports blogging debut was on San Diego Spotlight at MVN.com covering the San Diego Padres. I also contributed to Big Red Analysis covering the Cornhuskers, and From the Midway writing about the Chicago Bears, and finally wrote for NCAA Outsider, covering the Big 12, and WAC conferences.

I also wrote for Fan Sided as the original writer for Stripe Hype.com

I've also contributed to the SB Nation Blogs, Corn Nation and Big 12 Hardball.

I also write news stories for Digital Journal.com

In short, I've written for a lot of different sites, on a lot of different topics.

    Oliver, what do you think we can expect out of Matt Cassel? Will he pay off in the end? I'd love any feedback you may have.
