Q's, A's

Who are you guys?

Jeff is a freelance journalist and teacher, Grady is a pharmacist, and we're still not really sure what Craig does. Brian, our newest writer, is a recently graduated computer dude who doesn't have a full-time job yet. We're avid Cougar fans, and nice people if you get to know us. Read more about Nuss here, more about Grady here, more about Craig here, and more about Brian here.

Why are there ads?

The ads support Sports Blogs Nation (SBN), our network, who then provides us with awesome technology that allows you to comment easily throughout the blog and post pictures of Ryan Appleby getting dunked on. Among other things, like the small stipend SBN sends us every few months. And when we say small, we're talking like the-opportunity-to-take-our-significant-others-out-for-a-sort-of-nice-dinner-once-every-three-months kind of small.

What is SBN?

A network of blogs designed in the hope that every major college and pro sports team can have their own blogs linked together under one roof. See the home page here. It's a great concept, really.

I demand more posts.

Ok, that's not a question. We all have full time jobs, so we can't always provide quantity of posts. We strive for quality, however, and hope to keep things interactive by hearing your thoughts in the comments.

Why are you mad at me about a comment/FanPost/FanShot I left?

Because you probably violated our Community Guidelines. Everyone who participates is expected to know them and abide by them. If you don't, we'll give you a gentle reminder.

How can I contact you guys?

Comments, or cougcenter@gmail.com. We always appreciate feedback.

How can I write for the site or SBN?

The blog gives you the option to write "FanPosts" - essentially a blog within a blog where you can all break and discuss the news of the day, whether it's on-topic or off. If you write something particularly enlightening, we have the option to promote it to the front page of the site where it can get the recognition it deserves. If you write a lot of FanPosts particularly well, we will have no choice but to ask you to join us. That way you don't run off and start another blog, stealing all our readers in the process. Unless of course you want to start your own independent blog, in which case we totally encourage that stuff.

As for SBN, if you're interested in starting a blog up for a team that's not covered (we're looking your way, Vandal fans), find out more here. There is the opportunity to get paid, and possibly get paid more as your readership grows.

I don't understand the film/TV reference you just made.

That's OK. If you catch up on most recent movies, Arrested Development, Flight of the Conchords or The Office, you should get the majority of Grady and Craig's humor. Jeff isn't funny, so you don't have to worry about that. Another thing about Grady's writing: if you think it might be sarcasm, it probably is.
