UOAA Write Up

Yesterday the University of Oregon did a write up about FanSpan. The article talks about how we help fans find fans and how enjoying a game with others trumps watching the game alone. We are honored to have been featured in this article and know it is the first of many. We're getting the word out! Thanks everyone for all the help!

The FanSpan Team (Kevin and Ryan)

FHM compiled the coolest soccer videos of all time. Huge time waster on a monday if you don't want to work.

I thought this was a very clever twist on the Sonics recent move. Published originally in the Portland monthly, the writer tries to welcome Sonics fans to the Blazer family. I guess it's good for the team to have more fans, but the groveling will get a little old.

Well,

2 years later and nothing seems to change. Nice coaching Reily, nice choking USC. Well, I guess the rose bowl will have to be good enough for the #1 pac-10 team.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but there seems to be an imbalance of talent happening in college football. Because of rules changes that effect how many scholarship players are on a team, it seems slower developing or under the radar players are getting picked up by lesser known programs and flourishing. Take for example the WAC. They were a blip on the screen until Boise State rocked OU's proverbial shit in the Fiesta Bowl. Everyone thought it was a fluke, and that they would be losing all their 1 shot recruiting class of 4 years ago, but here they come again out coaching and out playing Oregon at Autzen.

Then there is the Mountain West Conference. 3 teams that are 3-0, TCU, BYU, and Utah. All three are serious threats and potentially could knock out the Pac-10 if they keep blowing them up in non-conference play.

And don’t get me started on Appalachian State giving Michigan the business at the big house.

I like the shift and love seeing other schools get fired up about football as much as OSU and Penn State have been enjoying for decades.
