Bama Hawkeye

Mar 24, 2008 Nov 10, 2009 163 420

I'm a Chicago Boy who fell in love with the White Sox as they were Winnin' Ugly. My cat was named Kittle. I still know every word to the Super Bowl Shuffle. I watched the Bulls win title number three at a high school graduation party and title six at a bar in Iowa City. I get a big smile on my face just thinking of October 26, 2005. I went to Iowa for Law School, practiced in Kansas City, and now work at the University of Alabama.

Beyond the teams listed, I root for the Crimson Tide, Royals, and whomever plays the Cubs.

a fan of

Chicago White Sox Major League Baseball Team

Chicago Bulls National Basketball Association Team

Chicago Bears National Football League Team

Iowa Hawkeyes NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Iowa Hawkeyes NCAA Men's Basketball Division 1 Team

Chicago Blackhawks National Hockey League Team
