Thanks for reading, man! Good stuff on Va Tech. Tell Vince the 49ers still suck even though they got Crabtree, heh.

That's great. Maybe you'll let me some of your fiction or poetry some time. You'll probably learn a lot from that poet laureate...I write both in my free time.

I graduated from the College of Charleston in South Carolina. Majored in creative writing and minored in film studies. Those are pretty much my passions.

Editing in B/R has been awesome so far. I'm not sure what it will turn into. I know I love reading what people, like you and others, have to say about the sports and athletes they love.

Thanks for your kind words James. They pretty much made my day.

I look forward to it James.

That's pretty cool you're studying creative writing. That's what I majored in too.

I'm sure you have other great articles, essays that aren't exactly sports related.

Do you write fiction or poetry?

Hey,

In 1996, The Yankees had a magical season that would end with a World Championship. In this article, I take a look at the first time I thought the season could be special, a game vs. the Seattle Mariners on May 14th, 1996 at Yankee Stadium, Dwight Gooden on the mound, the rest is history. Please take a look and comment as well. Thanks in advance

This is different for me because normally prefer opinion or humor/satire, but I was asked to take a look at it, so I did.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the analysis side you may have for future such articles.

Be forewarned....its a longer piece, so grab some coffee.

My next article is going to be a three-parter doing an in-depth analysis in the form of an ACC power rankings. I'll try to get about two a week in, so keep your eyes peeled.

Thanks for reading!
