Wednesday Randos:
- So close to the longest month of the year, sports purgatory, to be over. Of course, the way it hits this year, Labor Day weekend is another week away, but just get me out of this **** month.
- GYERO UK Fan is just a different animal. We're in the 90th percentile of UK fans here. We care enough to talk UK sports on the internet 365 days a year. What made Jones and KSR so big wasn't people like us. It was that he engaged the other fans who aren't up-to-the-minute. Before, fans like us were the only ones who knew everything about recruiting. Now, even girls like my friend Jen- your typical casual social UK fan (at best)- know about our recruits. And it's not even the "casual" fan, it's people who are big UK fans but not as disgustingly consumed as we are. BBN is one of the only college fanbases where KSR would really work. Props to Jones on tapping into that market, although now I have to deal with occasional instances of people like Jen trying to talk to me about recruits. Still, I love and read the blog daily and will tune into the radio show/podcast on special occasions (good guests, big games, etc).
- Watching a doc on the Rolling Stones. What a band. I
suppose the Beatles were better, but I have always preferred the Stones.
- UNC isn't going to skate. The NCAA's rep is on the line and they're desperate.
- I generally hate self-righteous sports media, but love it when Romey gets on his high horse...such as blasting Sarkisian for his drunken antics at the USC booster dinner.[laughing]
- OK, we're thisclose to fall...let's hear your bourbon takes. I'm no guru, but for me, give me some Bulleit as my go-to, along with Makers or Woodford.
- Niykee Heaton :scream:
