About the Author

Hey — I’m the voice behind Fourth and Chill.

Born in 2000, raised on Texas Football, and permanently scarred (in a good way) by Vince Young’s Rose Bowl run. I’ve been a Longhorn since diapers — and I can argue with terrifying conviction that Texas is always one big win away from being back.

But I’m also enlisted in the Navy, and that means the Midshipmen have my full loyalty too. It’s not just about school pride — it’s brotherhood. And if you think there’s a better game than Army–Navy, you haven’t watched it with your soul on the line.

I live in the middle lane — learning more every season with the casuals, but still passionate enough to lose my voice arguing about targeting calls, Playoff expansion, or why helmets looked better in 2005.

Why I started this blog

College football is insane in the best possible way. The band fights. The mascots. The rivalry trophies shaped like broken bits of agriculture. The emotional rollercoasters in places called Ypsilanti and Ruston.

But somewhere along the way, the coverage got… intimidating.

Too much gatekeeping. Too much coachspeak. Too many people trying to turn this into the NFL’s serious older brother.

So Fourth and Chill is here for the rest of us:

  • The fans who love tradition and chaos
  • The fans who know what “SP+” is but still pick games by uniform
  • The fans who yell, cheer, cry, and meme their way through Saturdays

No pretension. No lectures. Just vibes, volume, and very unserious opinions about very serious football.

The Teams I Ride For

Obviously, I bleed Burnt Orange. But there’s room on this bandwagon for more.

Here’s who else gets my Saturday love — for reasons ranging from loyalty to aesthetics to “I just like that vibe.”

  • Texas – The flagship. The drama. The dynasty-in-waiting.
  • Navy – Brotherhood. Grit. Triple-option fever dreams.
  • Hawai‘i – Midnight kickoffs, Rainbow Warriors, island pride.
  • Washington State (Wazzu) – Late-night sickos unite.
  • Minnesota – Clean fits. Cold weather. Unexpected swagger.
  • Texas State – Sun Belt chaos. A team on the rise.
  • UTSA – Meep Meep. Enough said.

What You’ll Find Here

This isn’t a blog full of coachspeak or 1,000-word breakdowns of tight end usage rates.

It’s for fans who:

  • Want a weekend preview without needing a playbook
  • Love the stories behind the rivalries
  • Think the vibe of a game matters as much as the win
  • Laugh at weird mascots but cry when “Enter Sandman” hits
  • Know that MACtion is a lifestyle

Expect:

  • Weekly Watchlists
  • Cultural Deep Dives
  • Smart(ish) Takes
  • Vibe Checks
  • Chaos Rankings
  • No gatekeeping. Ever.

My Goal

To grow the love of college football — without scaring anyone off.
Whether you’re here for the Xs and Os, the fight songs, or just want to learn why Iowa plays in slow motion, you’re welcome.

Let’s make Saturdays sacred again.
