Moving day...

Not even changing timezones.

300 seemed like such a good number to end things on. In the last couple of weeks Mr. Bleymeier went to Washington, Z headed to Canada, Kyle Wilson broke stopwatches at BSU pro day—all these events were worthy of articles, but alas, none were posted. Why? Well, my run on FFBSU has come to an end and it seemed odd to push the 300 boundary too far. Fight, Fight, BSU started in between the magical 2006 season and the so-so 2007 season as a way for me to appease the offseason demons that demanded more Bronco coverage. Along the way, it became a nice little blog with weekly features and flashy header graphics. Heck, I even broke a few stories over here and got some advertisers...not bad for a freebie blogspot blog, really. All told, FFBSU has had close to 70,000 visitors since its inception...I'm busting with pride!

Ok, so technically this is post number 301 and I will be RSS feeding new posts to this blog until people get the memo that I've changed addresses. Oh, I didn't tell you where I'm heading too yet, did I? Well, that unstoppable juggernaut OBNUG is back—and guess who's been added to the roster? No, not David Augusto...it's me! Kevan from OBNUG gave me an offer I couldn't refuse (his henchmen are VERY persuasive) and I'll be taking my headline puns and Vandal jokes over to OBNUG full-time. A bittersweet decision to be sure as I have enjoyed being the Notre Dame of the blog-o-sphere and remaining independent, but OBNUG (now a part of the SB Nation community) will allow the forces of good to come together to blog the crap out of Bronco football. Everyone can get behind that, right?

So, in summary: thanks to all the Bronco fans that have made this blog a success. Don't cry for FFBSU, I'll just be over here...and I'm taking Kellen Moore facts, Know your Enemy and my other features with me. Think about it...what is more of a strain—typing in 'fightfightbsu.blogspot.com' or typing in 'obnug.com'? I'm saving Bronco Nation from the pain and embarrassment of carpal-tunnel syndrome. I'll see you over there later today as I make my first official OBNUG post. OBNUG will be happy with 78% renewal of our readers.

Yeah, you're in the same place...

A little remodeling is needed from time to time...

I decided to do a little housekeeping on the blog to make things a look and run a bit smoother. Hopefully, the new layout won't confuse anyone as it was done to streamline the blog a bit more and break out of the box that most blogger templates try to put you in. The content will remain the same and all the old posts are still here (virtually, anyway). You can now search Fight, Fight BSU all the way back to the beginning, but don't go digging for that blogpost about Mike Coughlin being the QB in 2008; I was a little off on that one. If you would like to see anything on the blog that you aren't seeing right now let me know.

Oh yeah, and I'll be unveiling a new series next week you should all like.

50k the hard way

Just noticed a little something...FFBSU has just passed the 50,000 page-view mark. Not too shabby for a messy little Bronco blog. Thanks to all the readers and fans of the blog, I'll try to make the blog bigger and better for the next 50,000 and beyond.

Sporting News likes my blog, as do I

Blue Hairs may need to click on this for a larger view

BC.com poster Mindcrime brought this to my attention this morning: a)the Sporting News has a free digital paper b)they mentioned FFBSU on page 33 of today's edition. Too bad they didn't inform me first or I coulda set them straight on who's baby the podcast really is, but I certainly appreciate the love. Thanks for caring Sporting News, and thanks for posting the first Boise State blog that google returned.

Hooray for Fight, Fight BSU!

Doling out self-pats on the back isn't something I do regularly...but checking my blog stats, I realized that Fight, Fight BSU has gone over the 20,000 visitors mark as of last night. Thanks to all of the blog's loyal readers and to the Broncos for being awesome enough to write about on a semi-regular basis. Hopefully this upcoming season will be full of lots of exciting stuff to talk about and WAC foes to make fun of. But, please...these early '09 commitments have to slow down...I'm getting carpal-tunnel syndrome.

OBNUG disappears

Oh, SNAP! Bronco blogging juggernaut OBNUG has disappeared off the face of the web. As of 5 minutes ago, the above screen was all we got when we tried to navigate to the venerable One Bronco Nation Under God. What happened exactly? Did Kevan forget to pay the webhost? Are we experiencing a blogger glitch? Whatever happened...we suspect a Vandal is behind it, and we hope that a swift resolution will be reached.

Sorry, Bart

I'm one link down today as I just went to the venerable Bart Hendricks' blog only to discover that it has become something...well...different. No longer is it chock-full of interesting Bart Hendricks-ness but has turned into a poor man's AgencySpy or something. I'm really not sure what it is, or what Bart's role is on the page. One thing is for sure...it isn't about Bronco football, Bart Hendricks, or a combination of the two. I'm sorry to say that I will no longer be offering a link to Bart Hendricks' blog from this site. I hope that Bart will not lose too much sleep over this. Does Zabransky have a blog?
