Shay's Bio

I have been a sports freak all my life, and as I'm stuck living in the frozen wasteland of Minnesota, there is often nothing better to do than watch, talk about, and read about sports.

I've recently had articles on Gonzaga basketball and the United States national soccer team posted on Fox Sports.

As per request from Bleacher Report, I'll be doing a twice-a-week column about Gonzaga basketball. While the offseason months will be a bit more difficult to find and produce material, I'm excited about the challenge.

Overall, I've found Bleacher Report to be a really fun and enlightening experience, and I'll continue to post articles as often as I can.

Feel free to contact me at ShayCronin@hotmail.com

Hey Shay,

A woman called Samantha Kleinman from ESPN360.com has e-mailed me regarding football matches available to watch for free on the website. Her main target audience is U.S based football fans, so I thought you might be interested. Would you like me to give her your e-mail address (if so, what is it?) or would you rather not? She would simply send you imformation about what free games are being shown, and when. They are matches from all over the world as well (Italy, Holland, England, Portugal etc.)

There is no pressure to say yes, I was just wondering whether you'd be interested and would like me to pass your name on?

Cheers,
Barney

I updated my article ... I guess the Cotton Bowl has the rights to the game until the 2010 match up.

Thanks for the feedback ... I'm pretty sure the RRSO as well as the ATT Cotton Bowl are both moving to the new Texas Stadium in the up coming year.
