Assistant sports editor at Marshalltown says he roots against Iowa State

Quote from this column...

"Then I quickly learned even if I am or was good at something else, nothing would replace the love I have for journalism."

Another quote from the SAME column...

"Hawkeyes or Cyclones? That one is easy. The Hawkeyes are easily my favorite team of any sport or team. And I often find myself rooting against Iowa State. Yes, I am one of those fans."

Can't even make this stuff up. Here's the full link.

Is that a column introducing himself to the community? Unreal.

Not super shocking.

He'll last long. :rolleyes:

Well, I never have looked at that paper and now I never will.

Wait...Wait...Wait.... so your telling me he is a die hard hawkeye fan who hates Iowa State who went to College somewhere other than Iowa. C'mon man. So if I'm understanding this he is like 90% of the Hawkeye fan base. Perfect, let him cover High School sports in an unbiased fashion...unless its a Cyclone Commitment.

Way to **** off half your customer base ***hat

Sounds like a dbag.

What's a newspaper?

Haters gonna hate.

My daughter works in Marshalltown and she thinks so much of it that she lives in........Ames.

Marshalltown scored with that one.

Over or under on when this thread pops up on Hawkeye Nation...5 minutes? Lots of hawk lurkers on this site are probably licking their chops

Don't know why I'd ever read Marshalltown news anyway. I'd just get dumber.
