Mission Statement

The simple mission of CloneChronicles is to serve as a community for Iowa State Cyclone fans. I will work to stay up-to-date with the blogging, as I hope to provide commentary on Cyclone-related news.

I started my first Cyclone blog in October of 2004, and since then I've tried my best to at least provide some humor and some insight into Cyclone athletics. I know that sometimes I may offend some people (mainly Hawkeye fans), and a bit of that comes with being a college sports fan. I'm in this not because I love to write, but because I love to rant, complain, applaud and talk about the Clones. And I figure that's why you're here as well.

I was born with cardinal and gold around me, and I damn well plan to die the same way. I'll be running Clone Chronicles with the same passion I see in Cyclone fans. We've suffered through a lot. We might as well come together and complain about it amongst friends.

And just so it is known, I am a college student, so life manages to get in the way at times. I'm not doing this for the money, that's for sure, but rather for my enjoyment.
