HALF-COURT PRESS
Once again, special thanks to Jim Thomsen for getting us some press. We made it as a bullet point into the online edition of the Sun, which had me relieved after I learned that we didn't make it into the dead-tree edition of the Sun; we were squeezed out by ads for Floor Covering Direct and Tanya's Classic Glass. I was going to give Jim thanks whether or not we got any press at all in the A-1 article, because he consulted with us and told us that he was doing an article on Kitsap blogs. When I saw that we weren't in the print edition, I wasn't too ticked off because the other blogs that were featured in the article itself dealt with real life and more important things than sports. I didn't quite see us fitting in with those other blogs, and on the print edition, we didn't. But on the online edition, we got the last bullet point. Hoorah!
Of course, due to the fact that we were recognized by Jim, and therefore a press outlet, we can no longer claim that we're getting snubbed by every local media outlet that prints an article on blogs. The last shred we have is that we didn't get into print for the hold-it-in-your-hands edition of the Sun, so technically we've still gotten no ink. But today ends that Susan Lucci feeling for Jeremy and I, and we've got Jim Thomsen (also a USS Mariner commenter at times) to thank for that.
So if there are any readers coming to us from the Sun's online edition, welcome aboard, take a look around, peek through the archives, look through the specialty posts, it's good fun, and we've had fun doing it. We hope you have fun reading it.
Also in the Sun today was a little blip about North Carolina's second preseason game. Bremerton 2004 grad Marvin Williams came off the bench and shot 8-for-9 from the floor, ending up with 18 points and 11 boards. If either one of us here at Sports and B's gets in a rhythm with the North Carolina schedule, tracking Marvin Williams shouldn't be too tough, especially with the sure glut of games to be televised by ESPN.
Have a good evening, readers. If you're new to our Sports and B's madness, we hope you enjoy what you see, and we hope you keep coming back.
