My Farewell (Sort Of)

by bamock on Sep 8, 2009 4:17 PM EDT

I wanted to take the time to let you all know that I will not be around as often writing fan posts at Stampede Blue. I have been honored by Eric Hartz at ColtPower.com with the opportunity to serve as one of the sites analysts for the coming season. It's an opportunity I am looking forward to and which I think I will thoroughly enjoy. I do not intend to "not visit" Stampede Blue anymore. I will still lurk, like the information starved Colts junkie I am. Still, I have real life to focus on and two stories a week to publish, which will demand most of my in-depth Colts writing time. (For those interested, the two stories will cover the "Five to Watch" for each upcoming game and "Who Looked Good, Who Didn't" for the preceding game)

I would like to thank BBS for this platform, without which I would likely not have been given an opportunity to write about my favorite team anywhere. I would also like to thank many of you for your support and kind words. I did not write fan posts here for recognition or accolades but you all made me feel very welcome here and some of you even took the time to support me in my effort to become an "official Colts correspondent." Needless to say, the camaraderie has been great and again, BBS helped provide the platform to find it.

I hope to see some of you over on Colt Power from time to time. I do enjoy the conversation and the feedback my stories spark. If there's anything I write for, it's that: seeing other people respond to my humble ideas on the Colts. This is not an attempt to "steal" any of BBS or Stampede Blue's faithful. Frankly, I don't think it would happen (you wouldn't visit another site and stop visiting this one) and I know that BBS supports the other Colts blogs/news sites anyway.

So, thank you again BBS for the opportunity and the platform... congratulations on your upcoming marriage. Thank you to all who supported me, and to some who I know will continue to do so. I look forward to seeing some/many of you on Colt Power from time to time to say hello.

Your stuff is great and it’s a shame to lose you…I just hope I’ll be able to read your stuff without having to be an “insider”.

Congrats!

I must say that there are some people you hate to see go. Your writing is excellent. I will bookmark ColtPower.com and check in regularly. As BBS has stated, we need good Colts blogs out there. How great when they are represented by fans who are both intelligent and gracious.

I am looking forward to it.
