My favorite sports memory: I’d have to say the 1993 state championship for the BG girls basketball team. Thousands of fans are screaming. In a brief moment, I heard my dad’s voice, and I turned and looked directly at him out of all those thousands of people. And for a split second, our eyes met and he gave me a big fist pump.

Claim to fame as a fan: Chris Elliott and I picking blades of grass out of Notre Dame Stadium and bringing them back and sprinkling them on the Mansion Park turf.

If I were the boss of local sports, the one rule I would like to see enforced would be: Put your team before your self – always!
