I am a die-hard sports fan currently attending high school in Starkville, MS and will soon be enrolled in the Mississippi State University. When I attend MSU, I hope to get a degree in teaching so that one day I can be achieve my dream of becoming a high school football coach.

I have lived in Starkville all of my life, so I have bled maroon since the day I was born. I love college sports, especially basketball - Mississippi State style. Some of my favorite Bulldawg moments include watching QB Wayne Madkin run for a 6-yard TD to win the 2000 Indepence Bowl in overtime against Texas A&M 43-41; seeing pitcher Brett Cleveland strikeout 4 of 7 Mississippi batters in the last few innings to win the 2005 SEC Baseball Tournament over the Rebels 4-1; and watching Erik Dampier and Dontae Jones lead the Bulldogs past top-seeded Connecticut and second-seeded Cincinnati on the way to State's first ever Final Four appearance.

If you ever want to know something or talk about anything related to college basketball, feel free to contact me at any time.

I am currently a high school student in Missouri. Even though I'm a big college football fan, to me, nothing can compare to the energy and the passion of college basketball. As a diehard Missouri Tigers fan, I pride myself on my knowledge of college hoops in general and especially Big 12 basketball. Right now I serve as a sports editor for my high school newspaper, and journalism may be a field I'd be interested in pursuing in the future.

The best game I ever witnessed live was the Mizzou/Kansas game at the Hearnes Center during the 2003-2004 season. We ended up losing, but that was the only MU/KU game I have ever personally seen, and it was an unbelievable experience to say the least. My favorite game that I have ever witnessed on TV would have to be the year before, when the Tigers took out UCLA in the Sweet 16 to march on to the Elite Eight. Honorable mention goes to the 2005 Independence Bowl when Mizzou stormed back after trailing 21-0 to win.

I am a 24-year old law student at The Ohio State University. I'm in my seventh and final year there, after completing a B.S.M.E. in 2005. I grew up in Iowa and Ohio, so I'm a diehard Buckeyes and Hawkeyes fan. My favorite college sports moment was rushing the field at the Horsehoe in 2002 and 2006 after wins over Michigan to complete undefeated seasons. The best atmosphere at a game I've seen is actually a tie between OSU-Texas 2005 and OSU-Michigan 2006, both huge evening games in Columbus. I'm hoping to expand my horizons in the coming years and visit each Big Ten stadium as well as some others around the country.

In my spare time, I play tennis, poker, and just about every popular board and card game created. I've stayed active in law school, making my school's National Moot Court team and becoming Executive Editor on my journal, The Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution (look for my published scholarly paper on patent law in January 2008). I've been married since July 2006, and we are currently looking at many possible future home cities depending on where I can find the best job in patent law. I've written for SCS.com 3 years now, so please contact me with any questions, comments, and criticism!

I am a 21-year old writer currently living in Tallahassee, Florida. I�m currently on hiatus from Florida State University, where I�ve been majoring in English since the fall of 2003.

I�m originally from West Point, Mississippi and my mom graduated from Mississippi State, so it was just natural for me to be a Bulldog fan from an early age. I�d say that I�m the biggest MSU fan around, but that�s just a matter of opinion. Being here in Tallahassee for the past few years, I�ve also become a pretty big Seminoles fan as well. It doesn�t hurt that Dick Howser Stadium is right down the street from me.

I�m a huge sports fan overall, but I live for college sports, baseball especially. I remember going to my first game at Dudy Noble when I was 13 and smiling the entire time. I have plenty of good Bulldog memories, from Richard Lee, Adam Piatt, and Eric Dubose leading the way to Omaha in �97, State�s SEC Tourney victories in �01 and �05, the SEC overall basketball title two years ago, and the Independence Bowl win over Texas A&M in 2000. But nothing can compare to Dudy Noble in the spring.

I�ve written for CollegeBaseballInsider.com the past couple of seasons, and I also contribute to Vainquer Teens Magazine and Dawgsbite.com. I also write fiction stories and am pursuing a career as an author and/or sports journalist.

But above all else, I�m a sports fan, and that�s why I�m here. Feel free to contact me anytime, or send me hate mail, if you�d like.

I am a Financial Manager by day and a huge college sports fan by evening and weekends. I live in Easton, PA and graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Business Logistics. I still hold season tickets to PSU games and enjoy nothing better than spending the day on campus at a Nittany Lion home game.

I have been watching and enjoying college football as long as I can remember. One of my goals is to travel around the country and visit college campuses to see a new college team every season. My most recent visit was to the University of Washington; it's really a great setting for college football in Seattle. I also am the editor for a collegiate wrestling website and enjoy traveling to as many matches that I can make it to during the year and always attend the NCAA championships ever year in March. Feel free to contact me via e-mail.

I am a 34 year old senior at the University of Georgia. In December of this year, I will graduate with a degree in Business Education. I have worked in a systems analysis role for the past 10+ years. I started working during the Y2K buzz of the late 90's and have been in the field ever since. About three years ago, I decided to start pursuing my dream of taking the reins of a college baseball program. I figured that I might not strike oil right away and figured that I might have to start at a high school, thus the education degree.

My first love is Mississippi State as I graduated from Southaven High School; however, I do hold a place in my heart for the Eastern Division Bulldogs. When they play one another, maroon comes before red and black.

Some of my favorite sports memories:

1983 AFC Championship Game for the Seattle Seahawks

Watching all the Mississippi State games on their run to the 1996 NCAA Final Four

1998 SEC West Football Championship for Mississippi State

2002 World Series Champion Anaheim Angels

1996 and 2002 SEC Tournament Championships for Mississippi State Basketball

2003 SEC Regular Season Championship for Mississippi State Basketball

2005 NFC Championship for the Seattle Seahawks and Super Bowl XL

Numerous Seasons for Mississippi State Baseball, including being in attendance for Mississippi State winning the 2005 SEC Baseball Tournament Championship and being in attendance for every game in helping Mississippi State Baseball get to Omaha by sweeping in the Tallahassee Regional and Starkville Super Regional in 2007

Being in attendance as Derek Pegues returned the punt and then watching the kick sail through to put away the Ole Miss Rebels this past November, 17-14!

I�m a 20-year old student at the University of Maryland and a broadcast journalism major. I am a huge college basketball and football fan and have been following both sports for quite some time. At Maryland, I work as a sports broadcaster for WMUC Sports, Maryland�s student sports radio station, covering everything from men�s soccer to football and basketball.

I love getting to attend any and all sporting events, and my best sports memory to date is sitting courtside as a broadcaster for the 2007 ACC Tournament. I recently started a year-round college basketball blog called The Field of 65 so feel free to check that out, and feel free to contact me at any time.

I am a 27 year old graduate of Salisbury (MD) University, leaving with a B.A. in Journalism/Public Relations and now working for DuPont in Philadelphia. While in college, I played one season of football and then moved on to play club sports and enjoy my remaining college years. I have always been a huge fan of all the Philadelphia sports teams, both college and pro. College basketball, however, has always been my favorite. I can remember being only in middle school and filling out my mock brackets to compare to the one revealed on Selection Sunday. For the last 7-8 years I've followed the Atlantic 10 and Big East very closely, largely due to the amount of local teams. Every January, the first thing I do at work is put in my vacation days for the first 2 days of the tournament.

My favorite college basketball memory is the run put together by the 2004 Saint Joseph�s Hawks which came to a screaming halt thanks to a John Lucas III three-pointer in the Elite 8. Getting the chance to see them play in person several times made me realize how rare the backcourt of Jameer Nelson and Delonte West was and how it is one that the Big Five may not see again for quite some time. Even Villanova�s backcourt of Kyle Lowery, Allen Ray, and Randy Foye did not impact the game quite the way these two did.

I am a currently attending high school in Nashville, TN. I have always been a huge college football fan, and my favorite team is the Ohio State University. I also root for Vandy, due to the fact I live in Nashville. I've never liked Tennessee, but now I have family ties to the college so my opinion on UT is changing. I am trying to see all three teams at least once this year.

My favorite college sports moments are Holy Buckeye, Ohio State ending Illinois' undefeated season, and the 2002 National Championship game. I love to watch sports, but I also like to play them as well. Tennis and basketball have always been hobbies of mine. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact me via e-mail.
