: About Me

I am currently a student at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas. I'm in my first semester of college right now at the age of 22. What took me so long to enroll in a college or university? Hmmm... perhaps that "young & dumb" phrase could be attached to my name. In any event, my passion for writing has always been prevalent. I figured it was time to put it to good use and pursue a career in journalism. The possibility of becoming a football coach and/or a teacher at the secondary level(s) also seems like a good fit for me, should I choose not to pursue my current career choice of journalism.

Moving to Kansas from Louisiana to pursue a degree.

My inspiration ...

The ones who were thought to have little or no chance at achieving great things.

Politics, News & Issues > Football News & Opinion Should fans boycott college football because of the BCS ranking system?

1 of 8

Ab-so-lutely NOT! For starters, without the fans, college football would seize to exist. A large part of a university's revenue is generated through a school's football program. At the FBS level, formerly known as Division I, this holds true to each BCS-affiliated school. Another thing is, it's never going to happen. There are too many fans out there that schedule vacation time from work around the schedule of their favorite school. Boycotting college football, for any period of time, would have a potentially harmful effect on the sport. I am no fan of Mack Brown, nor Texas for that matter...
