patrick's Bio

name's patrick..I currently live in virginia but was born in alabama in 1981.I have been a die hard and loyal fan of the alabama crimson tide since birth.Growing up in my family it's not like i had much choice.I love it though.It takes total precidence over all sports from august til november..and hopefully in the postseason.
My second love is MMA.I started watching the UFC in about 95...when it was unmatched fighters and no weight classes.It's great to see how the sport has evolved.these are basically the only two sports that get my blood pressure up.I keep up a little with the NFL, but other than that.....i consider myself for the most part to be an antagonist.I love the underdog in any fight other than my select favorites..same with football.i always pull for the underdog unless it's bama
