MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Introductions have never been easy for me.
Of course, writing about oneself is never the easiest thing for anyone. It's one of the many reasons why I gravitated toward the world of journalism and sports communication in the first place: to tell others' stories rather than my own.
But, introductions usually start with names, and maybe a bit about yourself, so here's my best shot: My name is Sam Doughton. College athletics has been a passion for me for as long as I can remember. Both my dad and my uncle were fortunate enough to play basketball collegiately, my uncle for my future alma mater, UNC-Chapel Hill.
