CFF Enthusiast since 2001 (24 seasons)
A former football coach and teacher of math and history, I have been playing CFF for 25 seasons. My greatest accomplishment in fantasy occurred in 2005 when I won the U-Sports National Championship. My favorite fantasy football school is Hawaii, and my favorite moment this century was watching Boise State defeat the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. I loved Ian Johnson! I have hosted a fantasy sports show on Fox News Radio and love seeing how College Fantasy Football continues to develop.
