Windfall
OK…things are changing around here…
I toyed around with not doing these this year but finally settled on at least one more year of them. Let me rephrase, I finally settled on one more year of starting them. Come early November and the arrival of my newborn, I’m not sure I’ll have the time or interest to continue them immediately. But, like most years, with the approach of Fall, the fading of the Braves and a slight slackening of the weather, my thoughts turn to UGA football. This year they’re just accompanied by thoughts of finishing the nursery, picking out a person’s name, etc. So, with that said, I’m going to have to make a few changes this year. I’m likely going to be modifying the format somewhat and making these things a little less structured. Hopefully it will free me up to get a little more creative and not bother trying to write about how decent the 2nd string RG for Kentucky may or may not be. We’ll see. For Week 1, coming out Thursday morning, I’ll focus way more on UGA and our outlook positionally rather than Buffalo as honestly, they don’t matter…and if they do, we’re screwed.
With that said, I leave you with this…
All we really need to survive are your “Random Thoughts,” and to close with “have a safe weekend.” Congrats on the coming youngin and GO DAWGS!
I sometimes wonder if you have any idea how many people read the “write-up” each week. I know I get at least 4 to 5 emails containing the write-up that has a forward list 100 people long.
Congrats on the kid and yes…all we need is a Random Thoughts.
Jody,
First, Congrats on the kid. Second, thank you so much for at least attempting to make it through another season. I will throw out an idea given the following you have for your weekly reports. Make it a subscription only deal and charge $100 per year per subscriiber. I would happily pay $100 annual to get your write ups. Given your reader base I would be willing to bet there are 100 other people thaqt would pay $100 annually as well. $10,000 in subcription fees annually would make for a nice education fund for you newest family memeber. Just throwing it out there.
Go Dawgs!
Jody,
I just need to know what time the Dawg Walk starts if you don’t mind at least posting that every week.
I am not paying you one measly penny for your thoughts, fyi.
Jody,
Per the other poster, i concur that your work is read by a huge number of people every week. There should be some way to be compensated for the amount of time it takes to work up one of these write-ups.
Good luck with the little one and GO DAWGS!
Thanks guys. I can’t ever charge for these things, then it would start feeling like a job. I’m toeing that line anyway. Some folks donate through the link and I really appreciate it, nice to help offset the site costs, but at the end of the day it’s something I mostly enjoy doing and as long as I have time I’ll continue. Like I said, from everything I’ve heard, kids take some small amount of time so we’ll see.
And commenter number 4, Nate Greer has a lot of nightmares so you’ll have to be more specific and the Dawg Walk starts about 20 minutes after kickoff.
