About

I grew up in central Illinois--right smack in the middle of Big Ten country. I've worked in the sports department for several Illinois newspapers, but I recently relocated to Lincoln, Neb. (aka home to the MOST OBSESSED college football fans EVER!).

I love to watch pretty much any sport, especially (college and pro) football and college basketball.

    Hey David, thanks for the edits, but just to let you know, my tagline is "come to think of it" - all my articles start with that in the headline. It's just my thang, I guess. I changed it back, no worries.
