Info: Welcome Ian Smith to the CF team

[ChrisMWilliams]

Fanatics --

I am happy to announce today that I have hired a quality journalist named Ian Smith to start helping me out with content here at CycloneFanatic.com. Ian has been in the sports journalism field for years and is an Ames native. He went to media day on Wednesday, where he put together two awesome stories that you'll see here on the site shortly. Ian will also be helping me out with game day football this fall. We have some great plans for the winter as well. So please everyone, welcome Ian to CycloneFantaic.com!

Welcome! More background?

Worked in print media in various locations around America. Ames High grad. Has a degree in journalism from Iowa. Young guy (around my age). Really, really solid writer as you all will see.

I graduated from high school with him. Cool to see him getting involved here, although I thought he was more of a Hawk fan? Maybe he got wise. :wink:

 

[pyrocyz]

If you were to give him a star rating what would it be?

I heard that he is a 5 star recruit.

I thought we're the only university in this great state of Iowa ?

 

[Knownothing]

No relation to Stephen A. Smith is he?

Well Adrian Clayborn thinks Iowa has the only college football team in the state...oh wait, he was taken out of context and was saying we have no pro teams in this state

When does the hazing begin?

 

[mj4cy]

Went to school with him. Huge hawk fan, but talented guy and you know you're going to get an unbiased opinion. Always been a nice guy when I've been around him.

Ian is a really strong writer and will do great things here at CF. Trust me. Do you really think I would bring on a guy who exists to belittle Iowa State? Please. When you read these two features he put together from media day, you'll understand.

If Osama Bin Laden was a great writer, would you bring him on?!


*edit: Welcome Ian! Great name!
