Hey you. I'm aztecskin in various incarnations on the internet. Also known as nTm in others. I am from San Antonio originally. I left to attend the University of North Texas for various reasons.
I am first and foremost a UNT fan - I even run meangreennation.com -- Roughly the third most popular UNT blog (out of three) yet reserve a nice cozy spot in my heart for the newborn Road Runner Football team.
I’m not a beat reporter. You can find that on Dan McCarney’s blog for the paper. I’m not fascinated by recruiting. The RowdyReport.com is on that.
So what can you expect? Well, I love me some football strategy. I love me some second-guessing and over thinking. Let’s do that, yo. Though I try to maintain some semblance of order on the podcast, it often veers into the unknown. I listened to a lot of sports talk in my years and try to veer away from Sports Blowhard while not stealing too much schtick from the little Ticket (dallas version).
Find me on twitter or email me.

I'm a current undergraduate student at UTSA seeking BBAs in Information Systems and Infrastructure Assurance. I work in marketing right now though. Once upon a time I was an English major. Haha!
I got my start in blogging through my music blog (thinkfastlivefast.com) where I cover(ed?) all types of independent music. If you don't know who Hot Water Music or Doomtree is, then it probably isn't the place for you. My greatest moment on TFLF was when the lead singer of Manchester Orchestra called me an idiot. Or when a hardcore group of GDP fans organized a campaign to spam my comment section after I gave his album a shitty review.
I'll handle most of your run-of-the-mill posts on Coker Chronicles such as link roundups, news tidbits, and crude photoshops. I've probably broken the record for the most mis-pronunciations on a podcast. I really like animated GIFs, and I hope you do too. I vastly over-use the word "swag" in many forms and variations. Follow me on Twitter. Email me here. Hate mail and Paypal payment is very welcome.

I am a proud San Antonio Roadrunner! My family moved to this city when I was a year old, I don’t really remember much from that first year, so I will say, to my memory I have lived here my whole life. I am the rare second generation Roadrunner and I have been so happy to see the developments over the last 10 years or so. I graduated way back in 2000, when football was just some far away dream.
It is intriguing to me what athletics can do for a profile of a university. One of the more exciting things of getting to the NCAA tournament in the past was seeing UTSA or (Texas- San Antonio, as they would use) on national TV and newspaper, if nothing more than being in a bracket. Now, we have this amazing story of a football program, seeing our name on a national scale isn’t all that rare.
As an alumnus, I feel that my role is to be the foundation of a fanbase. My perspective focuses on what needs to/is happening to get this massive city on board. It is my hope great experiences win over San Antonians and get full buy in from the current students. What I enjoy most is game day and all that leads up to it. I treat tailgating as the celebration of being a Roadrunner.
