    Hi Scott -

    I'm one of the founders of Bleacher Report and an ND Alum.

    I've heard that you're down in Santa Clara, and might be available to meet tomorrow. I could make it down at 8pm ish, or early morning. Otherwise, let's definitely set up a time via phone.

    Thanks, and look forward to chatting.

    Dave
