About Rick McMahan
I am in the process of completing my second Masters degree from Cal State Northridge and am considering the pursuit of my PHD in social studies/history. Along the way, I have developed a passion for USC football, which I have followed for more than twenty years. In a somewhat less myopic state of mind, I also follow all things college football and most sports in general. My other passion is politics and I am very involved in following the day to day workings of the Washington DC movers and shakers...but my first love is sports and, as such, motivates my meager attempts at prose.
