The Great Migration

I know it must seem callous for me to be here, on OBNUG, with Fight, Fight BSU's eulogy so fresh in all of our minds...but we all must move on. Be strong, FFBSU followers, for blogs never really go away—sometimes they just move to a new city and get remarried...and you can still see them every other weekend.

You see, I feel lucky to have been FFBSU's caretaker through 300 non-sensical posts and a couple of years of laughter, tears, and mustache jokes...but a new era of Bronco blogging has dawned—one where mustache jokes aren't just made...but conferred with a panel of experts until they are hilarious-er . FFBSU is gone, but it's spirit will live on in our hearts and on the Blogger server forever. As the executor of FFBSU's estate, I have decided to join forces with OBNUG so that FFBSU's posterity can have a brighter future. Some may call it an alliance. I would also call it that.

Star-divide

When Kevan first approached me about joining the OBNUG family, I will admit having some trepidation. I foolishly thought that Kevan was after the $13 that I had accumulated on Google Adsense. After all, I was going to spend that money on a Bronco gumball machine. So I withdrew from Kevan's advances and ultimately ended up witnessing OBNUG's surprisingly sudden departure from the blog scene. It seems I had made the right decision and was well on my way to being the Bronco Blogging B.M.O.C. But alas, I could not carry the burden of OBNUG's mantle...I could not post 5 or 6 inane blogposts a day like Kevan and Co. could...the torch was extinguished. But wait! Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, OBNUG re-emerged — casting aside their lofty plans of world domination and rededicating themselves to being the best Bronco blog around by building a coalition. Affiliation with SB Nation soon followed and I was wont to resist the warming OBNUG glow any longer. The die was cast...OBNUG was becoming the DeathStar and FFBSU merely Alderron.

I'm no Judas and I haven't been the victim of a hostile takeover. OBNUG and FFBSU were always on the same team...one was just A squad and one B squad ( I was A squad, cuz I'm older).  A and B squad are both great, especially if you're the B squad leader—but together, they can perform much more complex missions, take on bigger foes, and be the best darn Bronco blog on the internets (that's right, I said 'internets'). That's what Bronco Nation deserves...and now that's what they're gonna get. Don't cry for FFBSU or it's slick header graphic...you can always visit if you want, but it's just a shell now...it's lifeblood—content—reduced to mere archives. That content, and it's unique voice, are now here...at OBNUG. Go Broncos. Go B squad.

Good timing!

I was getting my resume ready to submit to you Drew. I wasn’t able to find another intern job anywhere else (I even thought about going to Addicted to Quack). Now I know what irony means. Good things come to those who wait. I ready to resume my roll as the Intern!!! Let me know when you’d like your breakfast.

Breakfast

Two eggs, over easy. V8 with a stick of celery. Don’t screw it up, Intern…you’ll find that Kevan is much more forgiving than I. Bwahahahahahaha

Wow!

Two great Bronco bloggers on one amazing website! Can things get any better?
Ok, well I guess Kellen Moore could be blogging, but I suppose this is as close to that dream as I’m gonna get, eh?

Well, we'll just have to get to know each other a little better then. I like Ferris wheels, college football, and anything that goes more than 200 miles an hour.

Welcome to the fray gentlemen!
I’m really looking forward to reading whatever you guys have to offer, aka juicy stories on Ian Johnson’s weekly trips to the barbershop and past tales of Zabransky Throwing Potatoes 80 yards or more.

Go Broncos, and Go Orange!

A new beginning

Wow… I’m pretty stoked about this joining of forces. It only makes sense in the big picture… Together we are stronger than we are separately. Or something like that.

Congrats to both the OBNUG and FFBSU teams and let’s rock this place going forward.

Congrats!

Yes, congrats on the nerdy merger. This fusion of blogs only makes sense. I can’t wait for September to get here. Those Ducks are going to drown in the Blue Turf.

I doth protest!

I was thinking about protesting about the characterization “nerdy merger”…then I remembered that I had put a Star Wars reference in my article.

Drew...I am your Father!

Congrats on yer new digs! Loved the old – the new will be even better! Looking forward to “Know your Enemy” OBNUG Style.
