My name is Rob and I'm ...holy crap ...49 years old. I live in Phoenix where yesterday's high was 113. Sure it's a dry heat...put on a helmet and pads and see how dry it is. For the last 19 years I worked for the Arizona State Football team as their video coordinator. Essentially I got paid to watch college football. It was a fun job, but the hours were absolutely brutal as there was no such thing as fall holidays and I worked 7 days a week 18 hour days from the 1st week of august till the last week of december. That changed when ASU fired Dennis Erickson. The new HC brought in his own video guy (a first in division 1 football!) so I found myself exiled to other sports. It's actually not a bad gig, I get holidays and weekends off in the fall...so suddenly I have all this extra time to fill. Got my degree from ASU though I did the bulk of my undergrad at Florida State. I'm married with 3 kids, my oldest daughter is 23 and lives in Boston now, my middle one is 19 and in Denver and my son hangs out with me (he is just 13). I'm a die-hard college football fan who spent the last 10 years hating the BCS. Money is everything that is wrong in today's "amateur" athletics and the BCS was the biggest problem with that. I don't things are getting much better with the new play off deal as the power conferences are still setting the rules...but I digress. I still love the game and will miss those road trips to Pullman, Washington (which is the end of the earth ). I have also been a series long NCAA fan. I have been playing some version of this game almost as long as playstation has had one. (Im now on an xbox 360). Me and my employees would set up tournaments each season at football camp (two a days) and on the road. Hell of a lot of fun and I kick my share of ass. Thus my interest in the online. That's obvious me in my profile pic...shot last year on the team plane after one of our road games (I want to say Illinois). Anyway I look forward to getting in one of the leagues here...
How's it going y'all? I'm Jon, I'm getting ready to turn 30 next month, and it's been 3 hours since my last drink! <applause> I'm happily married,(anyone married knows that's a lie), for 5 years now and have two beautiful daughters as well as my first little man on the way in October. As of a few years ago, I've been an alumni of the Univ. of North Florida. By day, I'm a mild-mannered IT support specialist for a large national e-commerce company. By night I'm usually found drinking a cocktail and playing MW3 or some sports game. Football is my main passion. I'm a die-hard Gators & Jags fan and an avid fantasy football participant. Other than that, I'm a born and bred Mets/Knicks/and Rangers fan and trying to find my way into becoming a fan of the Euro football. I've also coached youth football on some level for the last 12 years, and enjoy every minute of it. All in all, happy to be here, and looking forward to enjoying the experience.
I'm Jackson, 20 years old, born and raised in Fresno, CA. I'm a junior at Fresno State and interning at Scout.com - (Barkboard.com). I grew up as a huge Fresno State fan and have been to every home game since I was 1 year old. I've spent the last two years covering Fresno State football/ mens+womens basketball / baseball for Scout.com which has mostly taken the homer out of me though. Have always loved a variety of sports from a young age - especially college football and basketball. I played basketball and tennis through high school. Outside of work and school I like to go to/watch sports, play basketball at the gym and play video games. I've been a member of Hard4Yards for a few years and now the commish of the dynasty reborn as The Dirty Dozen. Also a member of Orange Crush. NCAA: Fresno State NBA: Memphis Grizzlies NFL: Tennessee Titans MLB: San Francisco Giants
I'm Jason, 36 yr old Firefighter from Middle Tennessee, married with two daughters. I'm surrounded by females in my house - even our dog is female. I live in the estrogen ocean, lol. I'm a huge football fan. Love my Titans & Vols. I also enjoy Predators hockey games. I attend as many Titans games as possible & at least 1 or 2 Vols games every year. I get my sports fix in the winter at Preds games (I'm still bitter about losing to Phoenix in the playoffs). Attended my first college football game (Tenn vs Ga Tech) at Neyland Stadium in 1979, first NFL game (Falcons vs St. Louis Cardinals) at the old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium in 1982. My gaming interests are mainly sports games but I do play Call of Duty quite a bit. I currently own Madden 12, NHL 12 & Tiger 13. Due to bugs/glitches & various other reasons I decided not to buy NCAA this year. I'm waiting on the release of the new Madden & NHL. Online gaming is where I get the most enjoyment out of gaming. The human element is so much more enjoyable for me. I got my first taste of online football with NCAA 06 & I've been hooked ever since. I've played in numerous Madden & NCAA leagues & I'm hoping to give NHL league gaming a try this fall. I'm very excited to be a member of this site & I'm hoping to make alot of friends here. If any of you guys want to play some Madden, NHL or COD at anytime feel free to hit me up thru Xbox live or Twitter (see my sig below). Note: I work a 24/48 schedule so I'm on duty every 3rd day for 24 hours but you can still contact me thru Twitter or TSO.
I'm Patrick, 22 will be turning 23 in September. Originally from Maryland but moved to Illinois a little over a year ago. I am a huge football fan, like most people here. I love watching every level of football from high school on up. Football is my passion, really my life style. I played very little in high school due to knee and back injuries, and played "semi pro" in Pennsylvania while going to school for my HVAC license. Right now I am planning to go back to school and get a masters in Sports Management, along with coaching studies. My career goal is to land a coaching job with a Division 1 school, and dream to coach in the NFL. Every chance I get I am reading up on offensive and defensive schemes that the NFL and NCAA teams use. When watching football I love to take notes on each game, especially teams that my Ravens are going to be playing the following week. For some people football is a hobby, sport, and then for others it's life. I am a die hard Ravens fan, been that way since they moved to Baltimore. Originally I was a Cowboys fan, ya know when I was like 3 and that's all my dad watched was Cowboys games. Then I heard the term "gotta take the Browns to the Superbowl." When I asked my dad that and he told me I instantly fell in love with it and the Browns. Again, I was 3 or 4 around this time, I didn't know any better haha. When they moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens I couldn't have been happier, even as a kid I loved The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, so it just kinda set in with me. I used to play Madden competitively, won a few minor tournaments on Madden 08-10 but stopped due to all of the cheesing that started to appear. Other than Madden I play CoD, even though I hate MW3, HALO, among other titles. I have heard amazing things about TSO and their leagues and can't wait to become a part of the community.
Hello and Greetings to all, My name is John I am 27 years old and I have been a member to TSO for about 25 minutes now lol. I just finished my new member application and I am looking to participate in a Madden 13 Online League. This is the first time I have ever signed up to play online and I am really excited about the prospect of meeting new people and competing. I am a 3rd grade teacher at an Army base here in Maryland. I am also working on a Masters in School Counseling. I love to travel the Country and the world. Recently, my wife and I just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary in Turkey! Her Father was born in Turkey and it was truly an awesome experience. I got to go to Troy and visit the Virgin Mary's house. A once in a life time experience. Again, I am very excited to be apart of the TSO. I am little lost on how to get into a Madden 13 league so if anyone is kind enough to give me some pointers I would be more than appreciative.
http://forums.traditionsportsonline...-players-league-looking-for-superstars.81333/ is kind of a SS only league. You could see if it's something you would be interested in. Welcome to TSO.
You can give all the backlash you want. That lady on my back is the best person on the planet. So say what you want, but it will do no good : )
Nobody(who matters) will be commenting on your wife. Pay him no mind. Always a couple bad apples in each group. Welcome man.
I was just simply stating that people in this community like to mess around with each other, and it's all in good fun. Wasn't trying to offend you, and didn't say anything about your wife, I don't know you from Adam.
stfu Bl0ndeRedHead leave the new guys alone. You talk about making fun of people's wives while your getting handjobs from Filiberto's drive thru cashiers....
