YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: Broadening horizons next step in becoming better sports fan

All sports aren’t created equal. Or are they? We all grow up watching whatever game our family puts on the TV without considering the fact that there are far more options than watching Atlanta teams lose. I’ve watched the Hawks get trampled on so many times without thinking that maybe, just maybe, that random soccer [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: College athlete idolatry creepy, unneeded

Aaron Murray hasn’t made it yet. He’s a student. He isn’t technically getting paid for what he does. He hasn’t quite made it. And just because he is the most well known student on campus doesn’t mean you need to skip your 3:35 class and follow him to Yo Dawgs every time he tweets about [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: Following athletes on Twitter more fun when focus is on daily life instead of games

If you don’t follow Chad Ochocinco on Twitter, you’re missing out. I’m not saying he’s the greatest wide receiver in the NFL or that he isn’t completely bizarre, but I can assure you that his Tweets are worth reading. The fact of the matter is, when it comes to Twitter, I don’t particularly care who [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: Basketball players should stop complaining about ‘one-and-done’ rule, learn to reap benefits of college experience

I have thousands of dollars in student loans. And if I’m lucky, my hard-earned bachelor’s degree will score me a job as an art educator where I will barely make more money than the 70-year-old greeters at Walmart. This scenario probably sounds familiar. That’s unless you are one of the lucky, talented athletes sitting around [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: Weighing when to stay (home), when to go

Hot dogs and beer are just about the only two things Americans can agree on. And what better place to find those two things than at a sporting event? There’s nothing quite as exciting as watching your favorite team live from the stands — smelling the sweat, feeling the energy, possibly getting hit in the [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: Girls can fill out brackets without resorting to good looks, asking guy friends

With March comes Madness. With madness comes testosterone. And arrogance. Lots of arrogance. Unless you drew your picks out of a hat while you were drunk and sleep walking this year, your bracket has been busted since day one. Even with this, I can’t count how many times my opinions and predictions have been disregarded [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: March Madness, spring break a perfect combination

It’s the most anticipated week of every college student’s year. Spring break has arrived. Well, at least for those who were lucky enough to finish that multiple choice Psychology midterm Wednesday and sail away on a weeklong cruise their parents paid for. The rest of us are stuck here until 3:20 p.m. on Friday because [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: NBA needs to overhaul All-Star weekend competitions

The NBA All-Star weekend never fails to bring us all great disappointment. And for the biggest disappointment, we look no further than the Slam Dunk Contest. We get our hopes up every year expecting big names and jaw-dropping dunks only to end up watching Chase Budinger attempt a blindfolded dunk 32 times before making it. [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: 10 sports rules to give up for Lent

With everyone talking about what they’re giving up and changing for Lent, I decided that I needed to find something for myself. Instead of coming up with something realistic, such as giving up chocolate, I thought of this idea. If you fight over the ball for more than three seconds, you must play a game [...]

YOU GO GO GO HUNNAY: Honing sports knowledge a lifelong journey

No one wakes up one day and knows calculus. Let’s be real, I’m 21-years-old and I still don’t know calculus. Sports knowledge is no different. Well, except for all those numbers. Really knowing sports is something that takes years of bonding with ESPN and that screaming drunk guy at the bar to accomplish. As much [...]
