The skinny: 23 y/o. San Francisco resident. 2006 Pomona College grad. Nutty fan of the Olympics (particularly the Winter variety) and college hoops. Slightly less nutty fan of the A's, the Sharks, and the Niners. Generally dislike the NBA, but will watch any entertaining and competitive sporting event. Yes, even biathlon.
