New contributor to the Buckeye Nine

As many of you know I currently still am a student at Ohio State. The 15 credit hours, plus two part time jobs and other volunteer efforts, at times make it difficult to keep on schedule with writing, stories, ad projects as I intend.

Last Monday I lost my grandfather to lung cancer and it has been a pretty emotional time. I apologies for the lakc of updates last week as planned, but hopefully you can understand having other priorities in life.

With that I have decided, and I hope Todd has my approval, to add a contributor to the site in a good friend of mine, Matt Brown.

I will let Matt add a few words of his own, but Matt is a 2009 graduate of Ohio State, has wrote professionally (unlike I) and currently is a teacher in New Orleans. Matt also helped me and the Buckeye Nine this past spring, contributing for the Buckeye Nine's Tournament Central if you remember.

With everything I have going on and Matt's professionalism, this is a great addition I feel to the B9, and hopefully you will agree as well. I, and we, continue to do our best to cover Ohio State baseball.
