William's Bio

William is a sophomore at Clemson University and a lifelong Tiger fan. He is also a fan of the Colts, Packers, Reds, Pacers, and Hoosiers, since his dad is from Indianapolis.

William has lived in the upstate of South Carolina for the entirety of his existence and loves it there. He is currently a resident of Central, SC, about 10 minutes away from Clemson's campus. He has a younger brother and two younger sisters, as well as a supportive and loving extended family.

William enjoys sharing his infinite sports knowledge with whoever will listen and wants to be a sports broadcaster. He lives for college football season and feels especially knowledgeable about all things football. He also has some insight on baseball and basketball, plus whatever else someone happens to ask him about.

William is a Christian who loves the Lord and wants to glorify Him with his columns. God Bless!

Most Memorable Game Attended

November 18, 2000-Rod Gardner's 60 yard catch against South Carolina to set up the winning field goal

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Joe Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak

Ruth or Mays?

Ruth--he paved the way for Mays. While Mays was great, Ruth was uncommonly great, and his stats dwarfed everyone else in his era.

Unitas or Montana?

Montana has the rings, but Unitas was a better passer.

Jordan or Russell?

Russell was great, but nobody changed the game like Jordan.

Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky is "The Great One". Enough said.

Pele or Maradona?

Don't really care about soccer much, but Pele is the father of soccer, so I guess it's him.

Federer or Sampras?

Sampras had a more impressive resume over a longer period of time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Federer after his career is over.

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Nicklaus was incredibly successful despite competing with Palmer. Tiger benefits from today's technology and has virtually no competition.

Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty

Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

ACC--I go to Clemson, grew up in Clemson, and think that the competition in the ACC is better than any conference overall, in all sports.

    Will- Congrats on the win in the contest...nicely done. As soon as I get out week two's contest picks, you get the mandatory first paragraph kisses from me. Sorry about Clemson...man, sometimes that can really wake-up a team. (Michigan rings a bell last year)

    Way to go, you were great!

    William, thanks for the great effort in the contest with Lisa. She states on her Top 25 comments that you beat her in the picks last week. I believe we all enjoyed following how the games you two picked went this past weekend. You are probably down because of the Tigers loss to Alabama but, it is a long season and there is no doubt Clemson will go bowling. So, chin up, you did a great job on the picks, and keep up the fine writing you've provided the Bleacher report.

    Hey William,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend William!

    Glad everything checks out, William. Suffice it to say that good writing edits itself. Keep it coming, and I'll look forward to next time.
