We're head-long into the off-season for 2010, and we've been pumping out content at a rather consistent rate. However, since the Super Bowl, it has been obvious to Joe and me that Stampede Blue needs an influx of fresh voices in order to round out the content. Also, the end of the 2009 season meant the end of the writing fellowships. We saw some great stuff from writers Colt Homer and KingRichard (aka, Rick Browning). Rick has gone on to start a new Colts blog (The 12th Horseman) and it's our hope both he will continue to poke his head in here and say hi when he can.
Also, Colt Homer has written some very good draft profiles and we hope he continues to feed more to us. Pretty much any draft pick he writes-up will get promoted to the front-page.
Thank you to both Rick and Colt Homer for all the work you did throughout the nuttiness that was the 2009 season.
With our fellows now graduating to newer and better things, Joe and I decided to put the fellowship on hold while we re-evaluate content on the blog. However, this doesn't mean we don't need help.
Enter LovinBlue, aka Laura.
LovinBlue has been with Stampede Blue since 2008. For Joe and I, the running joke we had regarding her was she broke news on Stampede Blue faster than Mike Florio does as PFT. Someone as dedicated to posting important news, who is also intelligent enough to write thorough player medical reports like this, is an individual we simply had to include in our blog's writing family. LovinBlue will handle the weekly links articles for the blog along her usual stories on player injuries. She will also post breaking news on the site's front-page.
LovinBlue is a big fan of the Cal Golden Bears. So, if any Cal Bears get drafted by the Colts, she gets first dibs on doing write-ups on them.
In addition to Laura, we plan to bring in a few more people to help with the blog. Details on that are coming soon.
So, once again, join me in thanking Rick and CH while also welcoming Laura (aka, LovinBlue) into the writing family.

WOO HOOO
Congrats Lovin, I mentioned before I thought you would be good for it so that is awesome. CH would be great to keep on but at least he is still going to get his draft articles put up.
Id love to do something however Most of the people here would say no lol. Besides that I normally don’t bring anything new at a consistent rate except when I was preparing the Threads during College season. Actually there is another thing I think i would be good at but that is for another time and I assume we are not applying this time around.
Again Congrats to Lovin.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Butler is going to go to the sweet 16. Whatever happens after that is anyone's guess.
Congrats girlie!
I look forward to your posts!!

I don't think she can,
because she’s only in the Contributing Writers category at the bottom.

How can you not love a team that does this?

I logged in today and saw LB as the author of Luke Links before I saw the announcement, and I thought to myself “boy it would be awesome if they got Lovinblue on board as a writer”
Turns out you did,
Great choice guys, hopefully this wont be only for 2010!
Congratulations LovinBlue!!!!!!!!
I know you’ll do a fantastic job. I’m looking forward to your articles.

I think Indy Lori
needs to start up an “On the prowl for Peyton” stalkers only column.
I second this motion.

Awesome!
Now just get rid of BBS and this site will be great! :)
(Kidding!)
The Colt fan web presence has improved greatly over the past year. Keep it up, all.
Mock drafts are stupid and pointless.
Wait..
So now she gets to be boring on the front page instead of in fan shots and columns :)

You are ridiculously fast with breaking news though. It’s like I see ESPN or something break a story you have here an hour before them. It’s awesome!
