Hard as it may be to fathom, in October 2008 a Buckeye and a Wolverine asked this Hawkeye to write on their site. I explained that I didn't want to write about Bo and Woody. They said that was OK (although they didn't understand why). I said that I would want to focus on the teams in the Northwest corner of the Big Ten. They agreed.
I produced an article, and on October 22, 2008 it ran. It seems like that happened three blogs ago. Since then the Wolverine and Buckeye have chuckled as I turned the rage of Penn State army upon me (final result: I was right on my theory, but wrong in degree). They have given me the freedom to turn my hobby of bowl projections into an ongoing column. They have tolerated my ramblings on each non-Big Ten conference. They have smiled as I got us our first link on CBS's website.
All because I wrote about a new stadium...
All the while, I got to have fun writing. So for that, I say I want to be thankful for the good things today. Thanks, guys. It's been an absolute pleasure.

Wow
I was sure this was a break-up post. Like, it’s been great, but my AIDS has progressed to stage 5 and I don’t have the strength to do Bowl Projections anymore. Phew. Great having you on TRE.

Happy Birthday, Bama!
“Workplace” birthday celebrations always remind me of Office Space.
Nina: Now Milton, don’t be greedy, let’s pass it along and make sure everyone gets a piece!
Milton: Yeah, but last time I didn’t receive a piece.
Nina: Just pass.
Milton: [mumbling] But… the ration of people to cake is…
[cake is passed, everybody but Milton gets a piece]
Milton: [whispering] I could set the building on fire.
It’s been a hell of year, and honestly, we couldn’t have done it without you.
That being said, we’re gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming onto the site in the next couple weeks, and we need all the space we can get.
So if you could go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific. Mmm…kay?

And since we like to back things up with statistics...
Just how valuable has Bama been to the site?
Average visits per day when Graham and I were doing this alone: 192
Average visits per day today: 2,391
That’s an 803 percent increase. Bama is like the Tim Tebow of blog contributors…

"Bama is like the Tim Tebow of blog contributors"
He’s running around giving y’all circumcisions? That seems, um, uncomfortable. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
Happy eBirthday!

So wait...
If Bama has been linked on CBS… and Law Buck has been linked on CBS… and I have been linked CBS… what’s taking Graham and Jerdogg so loong? :)
