Founded in January of 2011, 4guysinblazers was the creation of founding members Bill, Tom, Angelo, and Dominick. Armed with a passion of sports, the four set out to be true super fans of Siena Saints Basketball. To set themselves apart, the four agreed to wear green blazers to all Siena Saints home games, literally wearing Siena green on their sleeves.

The group expanded into the blogging world soon after with Bill and Tom teaming up to present a comprehensive Siena and MAAC basketball site.

In our first year of existence, we have established an impressive resume. Our work has appeared nationally on sites like ESPN Insider, recruitrecon, and more as well as internationally through our coverage of former Saints playing overseas. We were included on Ballin’ is a Habit’s College Basketball Social Media Must-Follow Database for the 2011-12 season. Along the way we have broken several stories related to both current and former members of the Siena Saints.

With a mix of news and editorial content, 4guysinblazers strives to be the number one internet destination for all Saints fans.If you’re looking for information on all things Siena Saints Basketball, we’re your source.

Bill is the man behind the action that keeps the engine of 4guysinblazers running smooth. A graduate of Hope College, one of the nation’s premier Division III basketball colleges, Bill has an acute appreciation of the tradition and history of college athletics. A former member of Hope’s Dew Crew (student section), he has a tremendous passion for the game. While having only followed Siena basketball for the past several years since transplanting to the Capital Region, Bill has quickly learned the history and tradition of the program. Bill takes care of the technical aspects of 4guysinblazers and is Tom’s right hand man in providing the internet’s most complete blog coverage of Siena hoops. From writing game day coverage to your latest recruiting news, Bill leaves no stone unturned in covering the Saints.

The Other Founding Members:

Dom: Special Events Coordinator

Dom has a beautiful wife and is the father of three great kids. I am a flat out sports nut, and what is better than hangin with the guys and watching one of the best mid-major teams in the country. My biggest challenge is trying to justify all of this to my wife. But I, like Ronald Moore have “ONIONS, DOUBLE SET”! WOOOOO! Lets Go Saints.

Angelo: Sales

As a father of four little girls I have come to grips with the fact I need a hobby that involves some male bonding. So why not become a guy in a blazer. Back in the day as a young lad I would go to Siena games at the Arc and we would shout profanities at the opposing team as well as cheer for our hometown team. I am not a graduate of Siena but I have followed them for sometime and they are just about the only local sports team that I care for. I am not the tech guy nor the alumni guy, but I am the hype guy. I wear the number one proudly and look forward to this new endeavor with my bros!
