(UPDATED 8/11): I’m going to put this up top here, as a result of kj’s link to this page today. As can be seen in my comments below, I’ve regretted this post from almost the moment I hit “publish.” I’m still going to write here from time to time — what I’ve realized in the meantime is that I can’t make this a mega-comprehensive, 2-posts-per-day site like I had originally intended. What I will do is write here when something really piques my interest, and not worry about posting for the sake of posting.
What I really regret at this point is looking like such a drama queen throughout this whole thing (seemingly quitting this blog twice and then firing it up again). If I have no audience left, c’est la vie and I totally understand – but when I’ve seen stories like this one in the Free Press* in the past few days, it’s been absolutely killing me that I essentially stripped myself of my semi-creative outlet. Well, I’m taking that back.
*Wherein the Free Press printed sans-caveat MD’s glowing comments about our quarterback situation, and then completely glossed over this little nugget:
Keith Nichol 8-10-0 for 112 yards and 2 TDs (25-yard TD pass to Fred Smith and 37-yard TD pass to Keshawn Martin) — took snaps with the third-team offense.
I mean, holy hell, a guy who is completely ineligible to play this season is essentially functioning as our third-string quarterback? I know Hoyer barely missed any snaps last season, but what happens if he gets injured this season? Our backup is a guy who has never taken a snap before, and behind him . . . who, exactly?!? This is what keeps me up at night.

Original post:
Sadly, I think the whole blogging thing just isn’t for me. It’s been fun giving it a shot again, but I haven’t had enough time to make good posts, and if I don’t have the time now, I certainly won’t during the school year. More importantly, I just don’t think my football knowledge is strong enough to put out a quality product on a consistent basis. I still believe that there’s a disappointing lack of MSU football blogs out there. I’m not the person to fill the gap, but I certainly hold out hope that someone out there is, and soon.
Meanwhile, I’ll still be in Section 27, screaming my voice away this fall.
Go Green.
Ben.
