Meet the Staff

I'm Chip Ramsey a career broadcaster who has been a sports radio program director in Milwaukee and Nashville. I've covered everything from high school and college sports (including the SEC, Big Ten, MVC and OVC) to Major League Baseball, The NFL and the NHL. I have a few things to say, and when I want to say them, I say them here.

I mostly talk about my teams, which would be the White Sox, Bears, and Blackhawks, but I do talk about other things as well. Thanks for dropping by. I hope you will bookmark this site and visit often!

Some quick takes on your 2008-09 schedule of college football bowls:

Best Match up in the BCS: The BCS Championship game will be awesome. Sam Bradford vs. Tim Tebow. The over-under on this game should be about 250.
Most Interesting BCS Match up: The Sugar Bowl. Alabama and Utah. The Utes spread versus the Bama defense. Can John Parker-Wilson generate enough offense? Does Utah have the speed and depth to play with an SEC team? Is this another Boise State-Oklahoma shocker?
Most uninteresting BCS Match up: The Orange Bowl better known as the "we're just here because our conference has a deal" bowl. Does anyone really care about Va. Tech and Cincinnati. This is why the BCS stinks. This game should be the Gator Bowl or something, but not a BCS game. Yes, I know how the system works.
BCS Match up that could be a blow out: Rose Bowl. USC already carved up Ohio State. Penn State is similar.
BCS Match up including a team with no business being there: Fiesta Bowl. Texas deserves it, but Ohio State? Please.
Best non-BCS match up: Poinsettia Bowl. Boise State's offense and trickeration vs. TCU's defense. Yum.
Bowls that I will not waste any time on: Eagle Bank, New Mexico, St. Petersburg, Pioneer, New Orleans, Motor City, Emerald, independence, Papa John's, Humanitarian, Texas, Insight, Outback, Gator, International, GMAC.
Bowls that I might watch a little of: Hawaii (just to see if Notre Dame loses), Car Care (Pat White is always worth watching) Champs Sports (Wisconsin is the local team), Sun (just to root against Dave Wannstedt) .
Bowls I want to watch besides the BCS bowls (excluding the Orange): Alamo Bowl (Let's see how good Northwestern really is against a top flight offense); Holiday Bowl (Let's see how well the Big 12 and Pac 10 match up); Chick Fil A (LSU's defense will finally be healthy vs. Paul Johnson's triple option); Capitol One (Will Javon Ringer be in Georgia's wallet?); Music City (to see if Vandy can win a bowl game);Cotton Bowl (just to watch the two wackiest coaches in college football. Please have gratuitous sideline shots.)
