Honestly, I started the Schalke blog because I needed something to do during my downtime between classes and track practice.

And on a side note Ryan, I go to school about and hour south west of you. haha

I started blogging about Lyon because I liked the team, but I didn’t know that much about them. Blogging made me fall in love with them a lot more.

As for my double life, I’m getting my Ph.D in virology, so you can imagine how weird it is for me to be a soccer blogger on the side. No one in my lab knows I like sports (we talk about germs over the water cooler), and very few of my friends know I write a soccer blog. The ones that do think I’m going through a phase or something, especially because I never even talk about soccer with anyone (what’s the point because none of my friends even like soccer?).

So in my case, it really is a double life!

Hrrrrmmmm, I got frustrated because there was a lot of news on the new new San Jose Earthquakes and no-one was writing about it. Now there are lots of people writing about the Quakes so I basically just ramble on about whatever and try to connect it to soccer.

I’ve been a Sysadmin for something like the last ten years and I’m kind-of at a plateau so I’m looking for a career change but have no clue what that change will be (yet). Anyways, blogging about footie sure beats discussing disk i/o and layer 2 networking. BORING.

It is said if you are gonna write then ‘write what you know about!! Thats why I started. I only know about football!!

I am interested why you called that article ‘Soccer Blogging – Haven for Hooligans.’ There is nothing about Hooligans – nice pitch! I fell for it!!
