About Tim »

First and foremost, I am a sophomore News/Internet Journalism Major at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Originally, I called Anamosa, Iowa home; I still do on breaks and the occasional weekend.

I am a sports writer for the Drake University campus newspaper The Times-Delphic.

My time is spent writing as a Featured Columnist for Iowa Hawkeyes Football and Drake Bulldogs Basketball. I also maintain a recruiting/newsworthy notes blog on Hawkeye football.

As far as sports go, call me a junkie of the Iowa Hawkeyes, St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Kevin Harvick and the rest of Richard Childress Racing. Oh, and of course, the Drake Bulldogs!

I recently began working as an editing intern for Bleacher Report. If I'm lucky enough to edit your material, don't be afraid to comment back! Let me know how I'm doing.

Thanks for the edit. I know it may have been a bit of a sloppy article- my spell check did not work. All the best!

Hey, thanks for editing my story.

What is superscript? I think I have this problem with all of my stories.

I write it in Word and then copy and paste into bleacher's text box.

Should I save it as a text format before I do this, or just paste into notebook and then copy and paste into bleacher's text box from there?

Thank you,

JB

    New Article: Iowa Hawkeyes All-Time Defense

    Throughout the years, Iowa football has had a fair deal of success. While the Hawkeyes fly under the radar in comparison to Ohio State, Penn State or Michigan, a constant that has always kept them in the Big Ten discussion has been a spectacular defense.
