Hopefully by “no”, you mean “yes”

Andy and Scooter met for lunch today.  Andy says they’re going to stay good friends and that’s it.  No more radio for Scooter.  A shame.

The Hawks have a good one in Andy, imho and my campaign to bring Scooter back shouldn’t be interpreted as a slight toward him.  Andy’s knowledge of the game is second to none and he’s a joy to listen to on the radio, whether as the #1 or #2 guy.  My Tivo though…

I kid.

The whole point of this campaign though resides in the fact that there’s a ton of work to be done in order to restore the Hawks to their former glory in this market.  There’s no one better suited for the task than Dean Vrooman.  He has the contacts and he has the passion.  So I shall keep banging the drum.

Is it futile?  Most likely.  But I’m going to continue anyway.

As long as we’re discussing the Hawks, did anyone hear Dwight on the radio this afternoon?  He brought up a good point about why we’re seeing the delay in the sale.  It’s one I’ve made in the past and forgot in all my excitement.  They’re taking their time to make sure they have the right guy and that he not only has the resources he claims (Alan Caldwell dug up an interesting tidbit), but is willing to use them.  Hopefully everything checks out and we have a new group in a few months.  Hopefully.

Thanks for Stopping By

A quick note of thanks to Justin Morton and Andy Kemper for linking to me this week.  They were both tremendous supporters of mine while I was at OregonLive and I’m proud to count them among my friends.

The hit meter has been going off the charts today, and it’s made me quite giddy.  I hope you’ll all bookmark this site and check-in frequently.  If you’re only here for Hawks news, you’ll notice the pull-down menu has made it ultra-easy to get your fix.  The Hawks will be a big part of this blog.  Even bigger now that team owner Jim Goldsmith has called my bluff and apparently credentialed me for the season.  Scooter told me Jim (everyone calls him “Jimmy”…I can’t bring myself to do that yet…I’m thinking of calling Jim and Jack “J1 and J2″) would be 85% awesome and 15% WTF.  This is part of the 85%.

Anyway, thanks to all for checking out the blog.  I’ve been getting tremendous feedback about the layout and how “clean” it looks.  I’m quite proud of how it’s turned out as well.  I hope to see y’all again soon.
