First, I would like to thank all of you for your time and attention in regards to Bob Long’s Sports Blog. I do this because I love to write about sports and I love when I can provide interesting information and opinions for others, and so I thank all of you for your support.
Over the past month, I have not been very faithful to the blog. The month was very hectic and I decided to just take the month off and return to blogging when school started. Today, on August 24th, 2010, I am entering my sophomore year at Penn State University and am thrilled and rejuvenated to be continuing the blog. I look forward to continued readership from my loyal followers.
The point of this letter is to both thank the readers and inform them of my plans to expand the blog over the next few months. First, and most simply, I look to continue writing every day, and to continue the weekly practice of delivering my Top 25 for both College Basketball and College Football. Second, in order to cover the landscape of sports more fully, and to include some loyal readers in a more interactive capacity, I will be conditionally allowing guest writers on the blog, if said writer brings something unique to the table that I feel would benefit the readers. Third, and perhaps most exciting for me, I am going to release a weekly sports podcast (Bob Long’s Sports Podcast), giving readers another interactive way to access the Bob Long’s Sports brand. Finally, I will be taking my writing past that of short blogs, and I will become an author. I will be doing a chronicle of the 2010 Villanova football season, from training camp through the postseason. I will be giving updates on the progress of both the team and the book itself throughout the season.
Thanks again for reading, and I hope you are as excited about the future of the blog as I am. As always, if you have something that you would like me to blog about, or anything else you would like to discuss, feel free to leave a comment on the blog or contact me in some other way. Thanks, and here is to a great semester of Bob Long’s Sports Blog.
Us at Doin Work will keep checking back to see what you come up with! Keep it up Bob!
