An introduction of sorts...

Hallo liebe Bayern fans! Becky, Chary, and Sam have invited me to contribute, so I hereby christen this my introduction post!

Just a few details about myself. My name is Brittany, I am a history major (with a German minor) at the University of Texas at Austin. Aside from Bayern, I enjoy Liverpool FC, footballer children, Rene Adler's chest hair...

As this is a football blog, I'll jump in to what got me to where I am today. I didn't grow up in a "footballing family." I was born in the midwest, and American football took precedence over everything. It wasn't until I was 14 did I really start to develop an interest in the real football. The 2006 World Cup came along, and seeing as the USA, well, did what the USA does best, I looked to the biggest part of my heritage and threw my full support behind die Mannschaft. And that is how my love of football began. Following the WC, I spent the next few months watching the Bundesliga, and in the end Bayern chose me. It's been a long 4-5 years, full of ups and downs, but here we are today, about to head in to our dream season, and I couldn't be happier.

I'll be back later this week to give you all a recap on all of the transfer stories swirling around FC Hollywood, from Neuer to Coentrao to Reus, and everyone in between.

Tschüss!
