A New Year, but an end?

November 20th?!? Hard to believe it has been that long since a post. Well, for anybody who has become a loyal reader of the blog, I hate to say it, but the experiment just isn't going to work. The demands of actual day jobs just isn't allowing for the creative juices to flow consistently enough to promote this blog the way we would have hoped...

Beyond that, there is a larger issue. As the authors of this blog are both 1) a coach of college athletes and 2) a play-by-play announcer, the ability to voice strong opinions in such a public forum has proven difficult. I hate to sound conservative, but you have to be smart about what you write. We can ill-afford to write something that would jeopardize our careers. As I (the announcer) view it, I can't be Bill Simmons and Mike Tirico at the same time. To be the former only burns possible bridges for the latter. (It's why Kirk Herbstreit abstains from picking the winner of the game he is covering)

So, this isn't the pulling of the plug of Cover Two. I think there will be times where both of us want to flex our writing muscles and put something up for our own growth and benefit. But, it's time for Cover Two to retire to a life with lowered expectations.

Thanks for reading! And, if you didn't listen to my advice, and wagered a nickel on college football this fall, you're welcome for the profit I made for you!
