June's Member Spotlight is Shining !

The Women R Us Group was founded by Cassidy's House back in September of 2007. The group's objective was to bring the female sports fans together in one group to discuss all things Sports. Not just women's sports. All sports. Today, the group has grown to almost 60 members.

Each month, a member is chosen who represents and supports the group in a positive and active manner. This month's member spotlight shines on the one, the only and probably the most fanatical OSU fan I've ever talked with:

Buck-I-Girl !

I sat down and asked Buck-I-Girl some questions so we could all get to know her a bit better, and here's what she had to say !

Well, golly, we pretty much know you're an OSU fan, but what about pro sports? any diehard true blue fandom?  

College football is my passion, but I love football in all its incarnations-NFL, NFL Europe, CFL, Arena League-I think I was one of three people who watched (and didn't hate) the XFL... In the NFL, I pull for the home state teams (born and reared in Ohio , though Cincinnati 's off-field antics are driving me away), but it's best to ask the teams I don't like rather than the teams I do.  I've hated Dallas since I was little-NO ONE has the right to the title " America 's Team" (which would also explain my venom toward New England as of late). Hated the Raiders from back in the day-they played SO dirty.  And of course, because I am an Ohioan, I believe that Art Modell (henceforth he-who-shall-not-be-named) deserves a torturous death-I hate him even more for drafting Troy Smith and forcing me to actually pay attention to how the ex-Browns are doing...   I also love tennis and follow the Americans-James Blake is a demigod-smart, socially conscious, gorgeous... ::SIGH:: ...sorry... what were we talking about again? ;)

Women R Us Member Spotlight !

The Spotlight is on .....

Every so often, the Women R Us Group, likes to shine a spotlight on one of its members. The group hopes that by shining that light, members of FanNation will be introduced to a valuable site and group member. An informal introduction if you will.

This week, that member spotlight is shining on Becca E.

Becca E hails from Kentucky and is an avid and I do mean AVID Red Sox fan. Just goes to show you that fandom for a team is not limited to the local area. Becca is also a huge fan of College Basketball. More often than not, you can find Becca on one of the MLB threads. I  "sat" down with Becca and asked her a few questions so that we could all get to know her a bit better. Becca is a proud mom and just welcomed her granddaughter Lily to the family!

What was your Best Athletic Moment? 

I was a benchwarmer on my highschool basketball team that went undefeated. I got to play for four minutes, in one game, I made a layup and two free throws!

What was your Worst Athletic Moment?

I got hit between the eyes playing catcher in a baseball game when I was a kid. I had two black eyes for about two weeks..ouch!

What was the last movie you saw?

I just watched Mississippi Burning the other day.

If you had a million dollars? 

I would relocate to be close to my honey and then spend, spend, spend!!

What was the last CD you bought?

Norah Jones

Sports is ?

Time to spend with family and friends, excitement, a good reason to bet, stress reliever and a fun time talking smack.

Will NFL Commissioner reinstate Pacman?

For those who didn't get the chance to surf the net today, here are some top NFL articles hot off the presses. Okay they're not all that hot anymore, but just in case you missed it.

Despite his agent saying "Pacman" Jones would ask for reinstatement today, Pacman disclosed today on Michael Irvin radio show that he wold wait until he is traded.  Some believe he should wait until Goodell tells him to reapply.  The commissioner has made it clear that he will reinstate Pacman when he' damn good and ready.  I haven't heard any news of Pacman frequenting strip-clubs lately, but that doesn't mean he isn't.
