Pop quiz, hotshots. Does this post title refer to:
- The Illini's search for a new football coach, now that Tim Beckman has been hired?
- The Tyler Colvin era in Chicago, now that he's been traded to the Rockies for Ian Stewart?
- The Bears' playoff chances after Sunday's date with the Tebow steamroller?
- None of the above
When I started writing, the Cubs were run by Jim Hendry, the Illini were run by Ron Guenther, the Bears were run by Jerry Angelo, and everything seemed hopeless, sports-wise, so I needed an outlet to vent my frustrations. But now, 17 months later, the Cubs have a competent front office, the Illini have an AD who demands accountability from his coaches, and the Bears...well, two out of three ain't bad, right? Anyway, I don't know how many people are actually reading these posts, and I'm just tired of writing, so I've decided that I'm not going to be updating the blog anymore.
And as my final post draws to a close, I'm reminded of a few of the events that brought me closer to you: Albert Pujols leaving St. Louis, back-to-back football wins over Northwestern, premium ice cream wars, dogs that were mistakenly issued major credit cards, and others that weren't so lucky.
And so, farewell. It's been a blast. And if you do like what I write but can only take it in doses of 140 characters or less, don't forget to look for my new column in PC World magazine that you can still follow me on Twitter.
Smell ya later!
