By template you mean what settings do I choose right after I choose "new project" correct?

Yes, the "Sequence" or whatever Premiere calls it.

You know him?

It's not like we hang out and have a secret handshake but I know who he is and I've said "What's up?" to him before.

As for your black bar problem I cannot duplicate it:

My video was recorded in full screen resolution at 1920 x 1080 using FRAPS.
I used your General sequence settings.  Those were my only choices under Video Previews. 
I also used your Export settings.
Here is the result... no black bars.

I realize the preset shows custom but that is because I unchecked Export Audio and I increased the bitrate settings at the bottom in hopes of getting clearer text. All the resolutions stayed the same; the text, however, still sucks.
