Hey everyone,
Since I hope we'll be together in a league for quite some time and we're getting close to filling up the league, I thought it would be best to introduce myself.
My name is Souriyo (pronounced like "oreo" with an "S", like the cookie). I just finished school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2015 with a degree in chemical engineering (gross). I spent the last six months working for an outsourced sales and marketing firm in Milwaukee, WI. I'm currently transitioning to a recruiting job until the summer and then I plan to go back to school working towards a second bachelor's at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I grew up in Moline, Illinois which is right on the Iowa border but because I was never close to any specific major city (3 hours from Chicago, 3 hours from Milwaukee, 4 and a half hours from St. Louis, 5 and a half hours from Minneapolis), so I choose to support the team that really got me engrossed in the sport. My favorite football team as a kid was McNabb's Eagles. My favorite basketball team was the run and gun Suns with Steve Nash (my idol growing up when I played, but I played shooting guard at the varsity level and have terrible ball-handling skills). My favorite baseball team was the mid-2000's White Sox, and my favorite hockey team is the heartbreaking San Jose Sharks. Basically, I like any team that I like to watch play and fantasy sports has had a big effect on that too. I'm a staff writer for a startup sports and pop-culture fan site called NoCoastBias and through college I played coffee shop sets as a country singer. Welcome aboard everyone .
