Ryan's Bio

I'm just a big sports fan who is going to graduate in a couple years from North Texas. I plan on getting into the sports broadcasting industry in one or another. I am a sports anchor and broadcaster at kntu 88.1 in the Dallas Ft. Worth region.(It is the University of North Texas student radio station). I am currently broadcasting sports news at 5:40p during the week and help out during high school broadcasts as well.

I also spent 7 weeks abroad in Europe in the summer of 2009. Simply put, it changed me. The only thing that brought me back was my love for sports.

My sports website is www.sportsopinionweekly.com
I also have twitter now: bigsportsman

The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.

Hey, I just completed my second article on Duke Football, trying to become a Duke Football Featured Columnist. I preview the Top 5 Offensive Players to keep an eye on in 2009. Since I am trying to become a FC, please leave any feedback that you can, what I should do differently next time, things I can do to improve the article, etc. Thanks in advance. I appreciate the support!
