1. I add jokes to a stand-up comedy routine I'll almost certainly never perform (my friends and I have always talked about finding an open mic night somewhere and watching each other bomb).
2. I grew up on a hog farm. There wasn't much to do but play baseball and football with my brothers in the front yard and ride tractors with my dad. It was a pretty awesome way to grow up and I wouldn't change it if I could.
3. I'm mad I never got the memo that the fountain of hot girls shuts off once you're out of college.
4. I have two TVs in my living room. My friends love coming over on Saturdays. Their wives/girlfriends hate it.
5. I played football, basketball, and baseball in high school. Baseball in college. When I played quarterback in 8th grade, I was intercepted by a kid who only had one arm and my friends still haven't let me live it down to this day.
6. I haven't been any further west than Evansville, Indiana. However, I love traveling and I probably wouldn't even be living in Ohio if I wasn't so close to my family.
7. I always thought my dream job would be creating TV commercials. I'd still love to do that, but now my dream job would be anything pertaining to Ohio State football.
8. I was the Player of the Year in the state of Ohio for my division my senior year of baseball, and I don't think I was the best player on my own team.
9. I have dislocated my shoulder 4 times and torn my ACL once (why #8 never led to anything).
10. Last summer, I did a double backflip off of a bridge at a lake in Tennessee. I knocked the wind out of myself and had a bruised rib cage for 2 weeks. I'll do it again when I'm down there next year.

1. The schools I attended ranged from Harvard to Ohio State.

2. I have played basketball against NBA players, and once outscored the opposing basketball team (5-on-5) by myself.

3. I have been to all 50 states twice - once before my kids were born, and a second time with them.

4. I have visited all of the continents except Antarctica.

5. My completely naked 18-year-old body was on Columbus local TV in the 1970s.

6. My name has been listed on ESPN as the winner of a competition.

7. I got my longest-held job by answering a newspaper ad and taking a programming aptitude test, despite having almost no computer experience.

8. When I was younger, I entered a couple of beer-chugging contests in bars, and won them both.

9. I've met dozens of BPers and gone to games with a few of them.

10. I'm very proud of my kids, who seem to have avoided making most of the mistakes I made in my youth.

Full disclosure:
1- Harvard was the name of my kindergarten.

2 - I was only in that pick-up game because my brother-in-law actually had game; in a separate game years earlier the final score when I outscored the other team was 56-3 and I had 4 points.

5 - I was one of a group of streakers on the track at the 'Shoe that was shown on the 11:00 news running away from the camera.

6 - I was the first correct caller on an ESPN trivia question back in the early '80s - I won an electric shaver. The question was which other still-standing track-and-field world record was set on the same day as Bob Beamon's WR long jump? Lee Evans in the 400-meters was the answer, and Evans' record has since been broken. And I just dialed the phone, there was no Google to check back then.

10) I am currently living out of various NYU dorms and village apartments in attempt to avoid staying with my parents in Westchester (north of NYC).

9) The only professional sport I have no interest in is basketball, although I enjoy the experience of attending a Knicks game.

8) I founded the Rugby Union club at my high school. It is the only sport I actually play.

7) I am a rare individual who is a closet jock and widely-perceived nerd, instead of a jock being a closet nerd.

6) I am a huge history nerd, but I hated school. I got a 5 on the AP US History test without taking the class. I am totally self-educated.

5) I am the only student of my class (~500) who did not immediately go to college after high school. I enlisted in the Marines.

4) I read about 2-3 books a week. Despite being a nerd, I don't know anything about video games or computers nor do I own any systems. I also like to write.

3) I am obsessed with anything "vintage", but not in a hipster way... As in, I love clothing from the 20s and 30s, music and cars from the 20s through 70s.

2) I can't stand sports fans who support teams which have no relevance to them, i.e. not one's home team or college team.

1) I don't wear team merchandise. I only wear team colors. The one exception is my NY Yankees cap.

1. As you can probably guess by my username, I run cross country (and track) and have since 7th grade.

2. I'm incredibly injury prone. It really sucks.

3. I used to play soccer, and I always wonder if I would have been better off sticking with it, since I liked it more and was better at it. I decided to switch to running because my entire family runs, and I do love it a lot.

4. I moved from Columbus, OH to Gainesville, FL in 9th grade. Next year was the 2006 season.. Football and basketball. It sucked.

5. Although my major is undecided, I will probably be the first member of my family to not major in math.

6. I've only been on OSU campus a few times.

7. One of those times was 2004. In the 'Shoe, against TSUN. It was awesome.

8. When I read Into The Wild, I was stunned at how similar I was to Chris McCandless. Biggest difference is I don't have the family problems he did. Pretty scary, actually. Loved the book and movie though, one of my favorite books.

9. My favorite author is probably Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

10. I have never had any idea what I want to do for a living when I get out of college.
