Florida Gators Football Top Writers

Writer bio

Hi everyone. I am the Community Leader for Florida Gators Football here on Bleacher Report.

I am a graduate of the University of Florida with both a BS and MS in Decision and Information Sciences. I lived my entire life in Florida up until January 2008 when I moved to Charlotte, NC for a job. I was born and raised a Gator, and still remain a devoted Gator to this day.

I run the blog year2.wordpress.com and have had opinion articles published in the Orlando Sentinel in the past. I also have had three Bleacher Report articles picked up by FoxSports.com, which is really cool.

I am a die-hard Florida Gators fan and I just want to get my opinions out in the open. I try to keep an open mind about the world of sports and respect other people's opinions. I may not agree with them all, but I will consider them for what they're worth.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who voted for my article "The Death of a High School Football Player" as a Pick of the Day.

Ron Johnson
Height: 6'1
Weight: 175
From: St. Louis, Missouri

If there was ever a man who lived to shake up the foundation on "perfection," it is the enigma known as Ron Johnson. For the past two years, Johnson has been rocking the nation with countless submissions that challenge not only the conscience, but also the sports mind. From his censor filled "My Two Cents" to his comical "Dem Apples," Johnson is living proof that no name wannabes can even have their name etched in history.

Only follow two sports closely. College football and golf. SEC fan, Gator fan. Known for my enthusiastic opposition to any kind of college football playoff system.

A small format mini-playoff will create more controversy than it will solve. A playoff system must have at least 24 teams to be credible. I am against a 24 team playoff because it will destroy the drama of the regular season.

I'm Alex, I'm from London, and I have a job as a journalist. About insurance. If there's anything that can drive the person truly mad, it's years of writing about insurance. Trust me. I know.
But my biggest love is sports. In the UK I love my soccer teams, but I have my big American passions: baseball and football. Sure, I can deal with the odd NBA game and March Madness, as well as a bit of the NFL, but give me Ken Griffey's swing and a Penn State White Out any day of the week.
So here I am. I have a blog - http://viewfromnorthamerica.blogspot.com that I hope you'll look at at some point. And I love writing.

I am an old school Alabama fan. I live, eat, and sleep college football. I played the game, so I know the sacrifices these kids have to make. I have been involved with Alabama football since Bear Bryant's glory days. I have witnessed Alabama winning 7 National Championships.

The picture displayed is "yours truly" sitting at Bear Bryant's own desk.

When I die I plan to have my ashes spread over Bryant-Denny stadium. I only ask that I live long enough to see Alabama win another national championship. It's beginning to look like my days are numbered!

I live in Birmingham, Alabama, where I have spent my whole life, save the four years I spent in Tuscaloosa. At 29, my wife Jennie and I are expecting our first child in June. I am an Alabama fan, with entirely too much emotionally invested in all things Crimson Tide. I am also an avid follower of the cursed Atlanta Braves. I picked up the writing hobby recently, so I've decided do dump all of my emotional sports-related baggage on you unsuspecting readers.
While my aim is to remain somewhat unbiased, most of my posts will have a Crimson slant. I am in no way qualified to be writing at all, which is why I love this site. If you enjoy my writing, check at my blog at....wait, I don't have a blog. Nor do I know how to start one. Or even what a blog actually is....

I am a lifelong Chicagoan who loves sports, especially baseball, and especially the Cubs. I could die a happy man if the Cubs could just once win the damn World Series. But I refuse to die until they do, which ensures a long life I think.

I have a passion for writing, am opinionated, and I don't bathe frequently. I do try to be balanced and fair, but I look forward to your comments, I love feedback.

On a personal note, I have three kids, one of each. If you want to know more about me, first consult a therapist. But if you still insist, Sam Wenk was kind enough to do a brief profile on me for BR:

My name is Christopher "Chris" Williams; I am a 30 year old from South Louisiana. As a sports fan and someone who enjoys entertaining, being a sports writer has always been something I wanted to do. Sometimes life does not always go as planned and for whatever reason life long dreams get off track, but it is time for me to do what I love to do. I hope you enjoy my articles and although some of my work might not be the best, I do attempt to do the best I can when I have the time. Maybe one day I can devote all of my time to doing what I love.

Once every 3 or 4 minutes a child of myth and legend is born. I missed that boat too.

My life can be best described as a series of events that got me to the point I am currently at.

I'm a 4th year student at the University of Florida, Gainesville edition, working on a major in criminology and a mid-major in Business. I'm not seeded yet, but its only November, nobody pays attention to those things until March.

I write mini-articles. Some call them Notrcles; I prefer to think of them as test articles. I once called them Testicles. That got me fired from my last job.

My sports playing background is largely based in baseball, but as a fan my passions lie in both college football and major league baseball. Being from Texas, my knowledge lies in the Big XII for college football, and for baseball I know all about the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros. While I do have my regional biases, I can converse intelligently about teams all over the country, and also about almost all sports.

Growing up in Little Rock in the 1980s, few things gave us more pleasure than Razorbacks sports. Whether we were watching Alvin Robertson on the hardwood or Quinn Grovey on the gridiron, we were captivated in the way that kids everywhere are captivated when watching their athletic heroes. When the Hogs won, we were joyous; when they lost, crestfallen.

In the early 90s, we both moved out of the state (barely) to attend the same college in Memphis, Tenn. You might think that the obsession would have waned; on the contrary, it exploded. Encountering lots of people who didn’t like the Hogs - even some who, horrors, hated the Razorbacks - our fandom kicked into overdrive. It also didn’t hurt that our small liberal arts college’s teams competed in the NCAA’s Division III and thus engen...
