I'm a lifelong Oklahoma State fan, having grown up there, and I attended Tulane and Notre Dame. I love reading/writing about, playing, and watching sports, and I enjoy writing for the Saturday Blitz and Pokes Post. My favorite parts of writing here are the intersection of sports, history, and geography.
