Ian's Bio

I am a 25 year old graduate of Angelo State University, which is where I received my two Bachelor of Arts Degrees. One of my degrees is in Communications with an emphasis on Radio and Television, while my other is in the field of Psychology.

I lived in San Angelo, TX the majority of my life, and now have moved to Junction City, KS.

Over the recent years, my affinity for sports has grown exponentially. Along with that affinity, my knowledge of sports past and present has as well. I enjoy learning more and more about all sports, and to have found a venue to express my thoughts and ideas on sports that I enjoy is wonderful.

As far as what sports I enjoy, hockey and bowling (yes, bowling) top the list. Having watched hockey for the majority of my life, played some, and been a season ticket holder to two separate minor league teams, I feel it is something I can really write about, and make it an enjoyable experience to those who read.

Other than all of that, with me it is best to expect the unexpected. There will be instances where I may go on a diatribe about something strange or completely random. Overall I just want to give an enjoyable read to everyone, and also engage people with the same or opposing viewpoints.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE... PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE:

Jimson Cuenta will turn 20 on Saturday, July 12, 2008 :)

So, on Saturday, July 12th... Jimson Cuenta plans to write a special edition, for Part 8 of his College Football series. It will be appropriately titled:

Pick Of the Day: Jimson Cuenta's 20th Birthday Kansas @ Oklahoma Special Edition

Jimson Cuenta would greatly appreciate it, IF everyone showed some class and respect... by using their Pick Of the Day vote on his article, on Saturday :)

Please post this message to 13 members on Bleacher Report... However, there are ABSOLUTELY NO SEND BACKS :)

IF you are the person who breaks this chain... you will be cursed for 13 years!

IF you receive this message, but you do NOT use your Pick Of the Day vote, on Jimson's article, on Saturday, July 12th... then you will be cursed for 20 years!

So, have a heart... and DO THE RIGHT THING :)

Ian, I'm not in firefox so here's some editor's feedback.

Nice article! I just tweaked your teaser and edited for style. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the great work!

Great article again. I really would like to see you write an article on the way baseball would be negatively affected by instant replay. I think the majority of people are for it and most people dont get why they wont implement it immediately
