Born in Chicago, but I have lived in Atlanta for the past 15 years. Although all of the Atlanta teams won me over during that time, none grew on me quite like the Falcons did, and I have been an avid follower ever since I first started watching the team as a kid. Currently living it up in the Classic City, I'm a marketing major at UGA, and love my Dawgs just as much. If there's one thing I know Falcons fans, it's this: your time to celebrate a Lombardi trophy will soon come!
