Hello there. This is Dan, geeking out slightly over actually having a blog. I always have a lot of thoughts in my head, so I'll be using this baby a lot, starting with a preview (later this afternoon) of tonight's Virgina Tech/Boise State game. This game is a BIG DEAL. I'm sitting here in the only Virginia Tech shirt I own, and I'm not even going. My dad is. My brother (a current VTech freshman) is--he'll be in a uniform with the Corps of Cadets, with a big banner, so I'm betting I'll see him, or at least some of his buddies, on TV. The game is being played tonight, 8:00 p.m. primetime, on ESPN, at FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins. Expect some 80,000 people, most of them Hokies fans.
Did I mention this game is a big deal? I've heard it called 'the [Boise State] Broncos' most important game of the year.' I've heard it said: "this might as well be a championship game for the Broncos." Yeah, because they need to win in order to gain legitimacy. I guess being undefeated in the WAC (Western Athletic Conference) just isn't enough.
Yeah, so, this is me. I'm 22, have a Bachelor's Degree in Print Journalism from Liberty University, and I'm hoping to work for ESPN or Sports Illustrated one day. Definitely wouldn't mind being a beat reporter for a pro sports team either (baseball, football, or hockey). I am a Christian, I love Jesus, and it's only because of Him that I'm a) alive b) have hope, and c) am going to heaven despite the fact that I'm not perfect. His sacrifice on the cross paid for my sins, and justified me in the eyes of the Father. There's no getting around that.
Anyway, if you're reading, thanks a lot. I'm psyched for this game tonight. Go Hokies!
Dan, I picked VT to beat Boise. I thought the double threat at running back would do the job. I guess I was wrong. If Boise gets by Oregon St they have a clear schedule. I also pick LSU to beat Bama, Iowa to beat Ohio State, and as usual the Big 12 will be settled in Dallas when TX and OK meet. Remember the Braves games when you visited, it gets worse because LLL is worse than I am in yelling at the players. We have a good time watching although the Braves are trying to give it away. I know you can write so I pray that you will find the job you want and God will bless you with it.

The Braves lost last night. Hudson took the lost even though he pitched well. No offense. Even if they make the playoffs they won't get by the first round. The Phils are in first by a half and Florida is trying to run with it also. The Braves might not even get the wild card. Bobby Cox will sneak out to retire.
