Welcome to my (sports) world

You've been warned.

I can't imagine anyone reading has ever thought this, but if you've ever wondered, "What exactly is Ben thinking?", well, you've come to the right place.

If it's a sports subject in which I'm interested, you can expect to find my thoughts here. 

To get to know me, you must know my background. Or rather, my family's background. We love sports. My father has been taking me to football games since months after I was born. He was also drafted by the Chicago Bulls in the late '60s. My mother would watch late night Saturday college football and cheer for Fresno State because she "liked David Carr." No, not because David Carr was good looking. She actually enjoyed watching him play football. I played sports through college and was simply known as the "sports almanac" in grade school. 

Sports are what bring my family together. It's in my DNA. And it's a passion of mine that bleeds through on a daily basis.

I'll be bringing you plenty of Clemson football analysis, other college football thoughts, and Postseason baseball throughout the fall. I'll sprinkle in some NFL and NBA, too. When springtime comes around, plenty of baseball, including lots of Red Sox info. 

This blog stemmed from my Facebook page. Every Sunday morning following college football games, I posted "The Morning After...". You see, being a Clemson fan and grad, I often needed time to let my emotions simmer before I typed anything and clicked Post. I would wait until Sunday morning to post my thoughts on the previous day's games.

As time wore on, my posts grew longer. Thus, my faithful readers - and likely unimpressed and annoyed Facebook friends - recommended I start a blog instead of clog their News Feed. There may also be a podcast developing over time. Stay tuned.

So here we are. On the Bench, er, my couch. Analyzation of the sports world. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to reading your comments.
