The Greek: Founder, Administrator,Staff Writer, and Socially Unacceptable
Bio: "Floridian by birth, Gator through the grace of God!" A long time Gator fan, I endured the 1979 season. Little did I know that UF was on the cusp of greatness. Growing up, I could only dream of a National Championship. Now it's expected; just like my ability to verbally cross the line, and to use a sledge hammer to pound the square peg into the round hole. To be honest, I am surprised that I was able to get this many people to tolerate me long enough to get this thing going. I find humor in everything....and while you may not....it's okay. I'm sure you'll tell me all about it on the forums. Hate mail always welcome....gives me more material for the next week. Yes, you'll be used like a young foreign boy in a Kathy Lee Gifford sweat shop. Enough talking about me. Check out the rest of the hardest working gang in college football fandom.
G8rSweetie: Administrator, Staff Writer, Sack Stomper, and Resident Hottie
Bio: I bet the first thing that crossed your mind was, "What is this girl doing on here amidst all these misfits and heathens? Is it to fulfill some sort of affirmative action quota?" Not by a long shot. Like every other die hard SEC fan, for me college football is a love and a sickness. I guess it is something in the water down here in the dirty south. I am a 1st generation UF alum who spent 4 years working with the Gator football program. I fully understand and accept that this fact alone makes me a Gator homer to the nth power. As soon as they start making badges for that, I will wear mine with pride. In the meantime, I'll just continue to sport my jorts and battle all you haters across the world wide web. Oh, and if you think you can push me around you have another thing coming. Most would forewarn that I am feisty; although I prefer to say that I'm just passionately outspoken. Bring your A game, and don't cry if you end up getting kicked in the nads somewhere along the way. Remember, you were probably asking for it.
TheNerd: Administrator, Technical Programmer Genius, Digital Artist,Holder of the Golden Mouse
Bio: I'm the definition of a nerd, I have more computers than most people have IQ points. Most of my time is spent indoors staying goth white and growing the ass-print in my favorite chair. I love video games, technology of any sort, science, horror, baseball, and am getting educated in football. Yes, like most of my kind, I don't understand it. However, it won't be long until I've at least mastered a video game version of it, and can "pwn" you all on xbox. Somehow I tricked a woman into marrying me, and worse yet, sleeping with me long enough to produce and unbelievably beautiful child. Wonders may never cease. I'm responsible for the technical side of this site - however that doesn't mean I want to hear your bitching.
Maestro: New Voter Committee,Player of the Week Administrator, and the Dali Llama for this group of miscreants
Bio: Born the son of a Buckeye and a Bobcat (Ohio U that is), this native Ohioan is a Buckeye fan through and through. As fate would have it I was forced to move south as a youngster, and I spent most of my formative years in The Lone Star State. A graduate of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and a current resident of Oklahoma, I'm an Ohio State homer with a Big XII twist.......let's just call me a Red Buckeye.
FSUBoston: New Voter Committee, Administrator, and Lord of all E-mail Address Gathering
Bio: How I ended up here today is beyond me. I grew up with Bird, Clemens, Bourque, Hannah. I moved to sunny South Florida when I was a teenager, and that was when I discovered exactly what I was missing in life. Saturdays in the fall now begin and end with the Garnet and Gold. It still puzzles me how a bunch of Gators let a Seminole get involved in this venture. I guess all those things we say about our bitter rivals aren't completely true! All that aside, I eat, sleep, and drink college football year round. From recruiting, to spring practices, to season openers, to the bowls... if it's on TV or if I can get to it, I'm there. Having once worked in sports journalism, I have the ability to put aside homerism and look at teams objectively. That is why I'm here. I'll trade paint with you all day on any team, player, or coach in D-I football (screw the new names...it'll always be D-I football to me) you feel like discussing. Just promise you'll come back and tell me I was right when all is said and done.
GatorzBack2Back: New Voter Committee, Administrator, Staff Writer, and Common Sense Police:
Bio: As a third generation Gator, born and raised in Daytona Beach, I now reside in Palm Coast with my lovely wife (a Barner), and our two perfect children (both Gators). When not developing commercial real estate or passing judgment on the Nation's best college football teams, I can be found somewhere outside fishing, four-wheeling, or coaching youth athletics. A freshman at UF during the 1996 campaign, nothing compares to the back to back National Titles in College Basketball and the 2 BCS titles in 3 years for the football program. I am a die-hard Gator, yet I will put aside personal feelings to give a fair assesment of each team. I am notorious for making you defend your every opinion. So when you see me on the boards you'd better come prepared. Have some thick skin too, because this group is not the normal, PC watered down turds that hide behind a cloak of anonymity. We are out here and we make ourselves very available.This will be fun and respectful. Comments, positive or negative are always welcome, but the key is to participate. If you wish to be included in next season's pool of voters, drop me a line for further details. See you out there.
TeddyDupay4: Conference Chaos Creator, Administrator, Staff Writer, and Verbal Scourger
Bio: As the one white guy other than Marshall Mathers born in the Motor City, I bleed, crap, and pee maize and blue. The latter 2 conditions probably have to do more with a few one night stands gone awry rather than any actual fan condition. I realize, as you should, that Michigan runs college football the way Anthony Mason runs his brothel. I played basketball in college- mostly to meet the "short, white guy quota," and I enjoy beer, short skirts, pissing people off, and JJ Redick. If your hate mail is good enough, it might wind up on my beer casket....I mean fridge.
Eloveku: New Voter Committee, Administrator, Staff Writer, and Mizzou Hater
Bio: Growing up in Southern California, it's every boy's dream to move to Kansas, mainly for the beautiful people, weather, and scenery... uhhh... ok, so maybe not, but that's how my story goes. At the ripe old age of 17, I headed to Lawrence, Kansas to pursue my footabll dreams. It was there that I learned the NFL was apparently not interested in big, slow white guys (who'd have thunk it huh?). Though my football career may be over, the sport still courses through my veins. Through the course of my life I've learned two absolute truths, one, college football is THE greatest sport ever. And two, Missouri sucks. As long as we can see eye to eye on those two things, we'll get along just fine! Rock Chalk Jayhawk KU!
Goosewv7: New Voter Committee, Administrator, Staff Writer, and Pitt Hater
Bio: You may be asking yourself how someone named after a character in Top Gun who died in the movie, has anything remotely important or coherent to say when it comes to college football. You may even be wondering how someone from West Virginia is able to unlock the Al Gore Code (most know this as the Internet) to be a part of something so technologically advanced as TBDPITL. (Here is a hint: it was developed by a Florida fan...'nuff said). Well listen up you SEC, Pac 10, Big Ten, Big 12, and even you ACC fans who think the Big East is just a basketball thingy. Born and raised in Morgantown, WV, I have spent my entire life devoting most of my free time to the world of sports (in a completely non-sexual intimate way). I've been a WVU football season ticket holder for about a decade, and I have traveled to some of the finest stadiums and campuses in the USA to watch the sport we love. If I'm not at a game, I'm watching the game...and not just on any regular ol' TV. I'm watching it in high-butt licking-definition TV SON! SO THERE! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
NoQuarterPirate: Staff Writer, Administrator, "Damn, That Just Happened!" Play of the Week Guru, ACC Hater
Definitely the youngest of this group of psychopaths, but everybody needs a little variety right? Oh well, if you dont like it you can kiss my ass! From Greenville, NC, born and raised. Love the East Carolina Pirates and wont take shit from anybody who tries to put them down. So if you talk trash, you better back your ass up. One of the most "country" people you will meet, who loves to go fishing, hunting, muddin', and whatever else us "country" people love to do. Anybody wanting to have a good time, grow a pair and give me a call.
HilbyPirates: Staff Writer, NonBCS guru, Poll Voter
Bio: Quintessential NonBCS guy demanding respect. First guy from family to graduate from college and that is East Carolina. Married a third generation Pirate (farmer’s daughter) and East Carolina’s only been around for 100 years. Raising kids to be Pirates in the land of Blue (UNC) t-shirts and Red (NC State) necks. By trade, I work to improve the East Carolina region, one of the most depressed areas in the country while also being one of the most fascinating. Grew up working Penn State football games (before the Big 10) and played a little ball in high school. First year at ECU was 1991, the Pirates finished 11-1, Number 9 in the polls and have been on board the Pirate Ship since. I have no conference allegiances, I am an independent in nature, although I do have a deep respect for JoePa and have some roots to that program and its locale. You better not bring a bunch of crap with me, because I don’t handle it well.
*** This site is intended for mature, knowledgeable, true fans of college football. If you are easily offended by homer opinions, strong language, brutal honesty, tasteless humor, PAC 10 pillow fights, or visor throwing-this isn’t the site for you. We here at TBDPITL are incapable of being sympathetic and politically correct, so strap on a pair and check your sensitive feelings at the door
