For anyone who eventually stumbles across this, welcome! Chances are if you have found this, you already know me, but on the off chance you don't, glad to meet ya.
Here's a quick rundown about me and my writing. I love sports and I love writing. I received a journalism degree from Sam Houston State University and started my professional career combining my two favorite things as a sports writer. I'm no longer in journalism (a blessing from God), but I do miss sports writing, especially column writing. I plan to use this forum as an outlet for my love of sports writing.
You probabaly (hopefully) won't find this space filled with daily diary entries or smarmy, smart ass comments that so many other online writers thrive on. My goal is to write newspaper style sports columns — or at least my version of one — because it's something I love to do, and right now this is my only outlet.
Often the topic will be SHSU athletics, which I enjoy keeping up with as a graduate and a former beat writer. I live in Alabama now, so AU (Auburn) and UA (Alabama) will probably get some run (to all my friends back in Texas... if you think UT and A&M fans can be annoying, consider yourself lucky that you don't have to listen to Crimson Tide and Tiger fans 365 days a year). The wide world of sports in general is fair game as well.
Take care — BL
About Me
- brianplacy
- I spent eight years as a sports writer, assistant sports editor and managing editor before turning to "the dark side" and taking a job in public relations. I spent 3 1/2 years as the beat writer for Sam Houston State University, my alma mater, and have written about SHSU athletics for the past 12 years. While I don't miss much about the newspaper industry, I do still enjoy writing columns. And, in case you were wondering, that is a picture of me hanging on the rim at Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium.
