The name is Brian Wagner. I was born in West Texas, but have now lived in Los Angeles for the past ten years. You could say I’m getting used to the perfect weather. I am currently a student at USC and am a huge Trojans fan, as you might have guessed.

I am a lifelong sports fan – and have been ever since my Dad groomed me to do so. But as of late, I have just created an interest for sports journalism. And a major one, in that.

I entered the blogosphere last Fall where I wrote about my experience with the USC Football Team: http://uscjimokes.blogspot.com/

Aside from writing at Bleacher Report, I am a USC staff writer at Real Clear Sports, where I publish The Purple Trojan: http://www.realclearsports.com/blognetwork/the_purple_trojan/

I have also joined The Sports Guys to post some articles. It's a great website with a great look! And a few other Bleacher Creatures are also writing over there too! http://www.sportsguysblog.com/

I am also a newly minted staff writer for the Daily Trojan, USC’s school newspaper.

With the assistance of Bleacher Report, I have been able to have some very successful articles published. I have been featured on CBS Sports (for my Mark Sanchez piece) and ESPN Sports Center. (for my Favre take)

I hope you enjoy my writing! And feel free to drop a dime to me at anytime…whether it be good or positive feedback. I love it all!

I am a sports fanatic.

My two favorite teams are USC Trojans (football) and the Minnesota Vikings. I devote my life to sports. But nothing gets my blood flowing more than the Purple & Gold…and Cardinal & Gold. Must be the Gold!

Literally, my life revolves around those two programs. And I am convinced before I die; I will see the Vikings hoist the Lombardi.
