Spectator sports of any kind bore me to tears. However, I enjoy fairly long (multi-hour, not multi-day or anything like that) cycling rides.

Rodeo, I was a barrel racer and will be again, once I find another barrel horse. My best friends are all roughstock riders and almost any weekend in the summer you will find me at a rodeo somewhere in the Midwest.

I also like Badgers football and the Packers, but that comes with the location.

I’m a sports nut, so I have a wide array of sporting interests.

Obsessed with: Illini basketball (college bball in general actually), White Sox baseball, Bears football  
Love, but not obsessed with: Illini football, Bulls basketball, international soccer (go USA!)  
Interested in, but don’t love: NHL hockey (may move this into the love category when the Blackhawks owner dies or sells the team), European and MLS soccer

Play: Soccer, flag/tag football, golf. I’ll sometimes play basketball with friends.
