Doesn't matter. Butler hoops is unique, so each player -- from the 1st man to the 12th -- are bad-asses.

Too many to count over the course of the last few years, but beating IU in the NIT Season Tip-Off was pretty sweet. Winning the entire thing was also sweet, of course. And although it was a loss, the FLA game in the '07 tournament was a pretty strong statement.

Bringing you the finest meats and cheeses for a clubhouse feast.
| Height: | 6' 2" |
| Weight: | 180 |
| Bats: | R |
| Throws: | R |
| Schools: | Shawe Memorial Jr./Sr. High School, Butler University, Northwestern University |
| Kids: | I defer to Travis Henry. |
| Occupation: | Student, Writer |
| Companies: | Feel Good, Inc. |
| Greatest Moment in Sports: | Things bigger than sports -- Lance winning his first tour, Louis dropping Schmeling in '38, Tx. Western over UK, and Carl Lewis singing the National Anthem |
| Greatest Event in Sports: | World Cup |
| Greatest Athlete of All Time: | Best -- Lance; Most Important -- Jackie; but MJ is in a category in which he has no peers (and I really think Tiger is getting closer) |
| Most Fanatical Moment: | Spontaneously combust at the end of the '06/'07 AFC Championship |
| My Sports Superstitions: | Big loops and double knots at all times |
| Most Disappointing Sports Moments: | UK/'Zona, '97 title game |
| Fantasy Sports I Play: | NFL |
| Fantasy Skill Level: | more into it than the hosers I play with |
| Sports I Play: | Basketball, Soccer, Tennis, Video Games |
| Nickname: | The Best |
| Current Skill Level: | Academic All-State tennis player in high school (yes, the "academic" is there, but you still have to be pretty good); always a sharpshooter and Christiano Ronaldo wannabe (drew my fair share of cards in the teenage days) |
| Highest Organized Level: | almost D3 tennis, but didn't feel like it/transferred |
| Athletes I've Played With/Against: | assorted Butler basketball players in the off-season, former WAC freshman of the year Ladrell Whitehead (although I wouldn't call that "playing" at the ripe young age of 10, or whatever it was) |
| Career Highlights: | Impressing the ladies with the bullet serve. Okay, former part totally untrue, but I did have a bullet serve. And reeling off seven straight games from 0-5, 0-40 to win the deciding match against one of our rivals back in the day. Kinda unique. |
| Career Lowlights: | Being down 0-5, 0-40 to said rival. |
| Sports Injuries: | Overhead smash to the groin area. Seriously, it happened. And I also briefly fainted at the end of a three and a half hour USTA event in the eighth grade -- not because I won (I lost), but because my endurance was decidedly not on par with Nadal's. Humorously, the subsequent trip to the doctor is how I discovered my asthma. Finally, Jerome Bettis and I have something in common. A dream come true. |
| Games I Usually Attend: | Reds games, Colts games, UK basketball games |
| Greatest Sporting Event I've Attended: | I'm a bad omen. |
| Sports People I've Met: | Bird, Bob Sanders, Gary Brackett, Marlin Jackson, Dwight Freeney's boo, Jim Edmonds' Hulk Hogan-esque hand to his ear at a Reds game beckoned by my harsh accusations regarding his age (true story) |
| Sports Figures from my Hometown: | Bryan Bullington (#1 overall pick in the MLB draft a few years back) |
| Most Prized Sports Possessions: | a limited edition Maker's Mark fifth capped in special edition denim wax from the '96 UK championship season (obviously my father's, but I lay partial claim) |
| Athlete Autographs: | KG, David Robinson |
| Favorite Sports Collectibles: | same |
| Dream Sports Job: | Host of College Gameday (seriously, my initials are "CGD" -- totally meant to be), GM of the Reds or Yankees |
| Favorite Jerseys: | several |
| Favorite Sports Brands: | Nike |
| Favorite Ballgame Foods: | SKYLINE |
| Beer of Choice: | most of the Sam Adams line, just about anything from Three Floyds in Munster, IN (probably the best microbrewery in the United States) |
| Hottest Athletes: | Natalie Gulbis and the underrated Daniela Hantuchova |
| Ugliest Athletes: | Noah. |
| Favorite Sports Announcers: | Gus Johnson, Ernie Johnson, The Gameday Crew (football, not basketball), Marv Albert, Joe Buck, Marty Brennaman, Vin Scully, and Dick Enberg's senility |
| Least Favorite Sports Announcers: | Tim "Bobby Abreu Grips the Bat Like a Pianist" McCarver, Billy "What I Would've Done in That Situation Is _______" Packer, and God bless Dickie V's heart, but I can't take him. |
| Favorite Sports "Experts": | Cowherd, Michael Smith, Grant Wahl, Kornheiser, and Wilbon |
| Least Favorite Sports "Experts": | Pretty much any sorely unqualified hire for ESPN studio work (e.g., DEE BROWN) |
