Ian Boyle

On the surface, Ian Boylan and Cal State Northridge don't seem like a match. Boylan was born and raised in Norman, Okla., in the shadow of a university renowned for its mighty athletic program. Indeed, while he plays forward for the Northridge basketball team, he still considers himself a die-hard member of the University of Oklahoma's Sooner Nation, not too far removed from those Saturdays in the fall when he used to sneak into football games at jam-packed Memorial Stadium.
