Six sports fanatics living in Ithaca, New York. A mix of hotheads, stat-masters, and most importantly, diehard fans. We’re passionate about sports, and we believe that passion is all you really need. We’re six guys from a whole host of backgrounds - with an assorted bundle of fanbases. Some of us are in high school paving roads to our career. Some of us are in college, asserting our newly learned wisdom. Some of us just forge our own winding path, but we each recognize sports as our backbone..
We talk about sports, we argue, we debate, and write about sports. So welcome to The Outcasts - Our state of mind is irregular for sport, and common for few.
This is, The Outcast State of Mind
