Before I forget to mention it, SBI is looking for writers. We had a bunch of our writers move on to big opportunities elsewhere and now we need to replenish the ranks, so if you know any aspiring journalists, or are a writer yourself, feel free to contact us at soccerbyives@gmail.com.

From Ives. Just fyi.

Doubt he'll want a guy still in journalism school, but it's worth a shot. You're a good dude, CWil.

Give it a shot, man. You got nothing to lose. It would be awesome to see one of our guys writing for SBI. Send him a link to Kicks and Giggs - especially those interviews.

Well I don't think Ives wants a reporter until March, or a Ukraine beat reporter, as that is where I'll be living come March 26.

One of my buddies writes articles for SI.com. He is hoping it becomes full time. Don't know how he earned that gig. But cool nonetheless, So that may be another option for some peeps. I wasn't aware that they have part time writers.

ETA: I've also met Ives, he seems to be a pretty cool guy. He'd be ok to work for I think. I know a lot of people came up asking on how to get into the business. He answered everyone's questions thoroughly and wasn't rude about it or anything. Good luck, if anyone decides to pursue this.

Sent an email to Ives, linked K&G and my work for Auburn's paper.

Here's hoping it works.

Hey, was in finals and just now saw this. Congrats man! I'm going to give myself the assist on this one, haha. So awesome to have someone from the SB writing for Ives. How did you apply? We want insider info.

Just emailed him my résumé and a link to my Liverpool articles. He immediately asked me to contribute. I haven't accepted yet though. Told him I'd email him back after Christmas.

if anyone needs me to give their resume a boost I've been sexting Ives for months of twitter so I think a shout out from me could give you a big boost
