Readers, I Need A Favor

by Mitchell Maurer on Sep 19, 2009 6:40 PM CDT

Like most of you, I am excited for tomorrow's game against Cincinnati. However, unlike most of you, I will not have the opportunity to watch it on TV, watch it online, comment on the game thread, or in any way monitor the game. Instead, I have the pleasure of working a shift from 12:00 to 7:00 PM, and I lack any sort of mobile internet technology.

So here's what I want from you guys (and gals, but so far I know of no confirmed females on the site). I want to be able to come home and read the most detailed live thread comments in the history of APC. Comments not enough? Make a FanPost, a FanShot, or something, anything, that helps describe the game for those of us not fortunate enough to watch it live.

Consider it a personal favor to me, one of your beloved site writers. I'd offer a prize, but I'm too poor to really put up anything valuable, so the best I can do is some sort of shout out over the course of next week. And hey, the exchange rate of shout-outs-to-dollars is at an all-time high! Or is that euros? Or yen? Or gold? Economics was never my thing.

And, given the state of things, this might be a regular occurance with me (except on nationally televised games, which I will make a point to be available to watch), so perhaps we can make it a contest. Readers with the most quality comments and/or other game-related compositions at the end of the year might get something concrete. And yes, I'm using concrete in the abstract sense; I will not send you a cinder block for your troubles.

So what do ya say, fellows? Can you help this Wisconsin-transplant-turned-weekend-cafe-manager out?

I volunteer

To head this up as best I can.

I’m working too, but whatever. I watch sports at work.

You can count on me, skip.

Someone might want to deal with the half dozen spam fanposts too.

I've already got SB Nation brass on it

Brandon will delete them whenever he comes online.

I'll help

as much as I can (I’ll also be working) since I’ll be depending on a game thread and maybe radio as well….

Oh, and I just transferred over from Brew Crew Ball (and was spotty over there) but I’m a ‘confirmed’ gal. ;)

I'll echo BrewKitty...

No confirmed gals? Pshaw. I’m sure there are more of us than you’d expect.

I'm sure you're right

Unfortunately, we do not have a vocal female presence on the site. I’m all for changing that, so it’s up to you, ladies. Perhaps if you and BrewKitty and company make a bigger splash, the boys will behave themselves a bit more.

Well, crap

Online play-by-play is something I’m used to doing, but I’ll be at a bar. I’d volunteer, but I’m a sloooow typer on my phone.

I'll do my partq

I live in MN, so I’ll have to find and online stream to watch it. Normally I don’t like to go back and forth between the online stream and this blog, but honestly I feel for ya so I’ll do my best.

I`ll be here..

The bar was too hard to concentrate on the game last week…

I'll do my part in the first and fourth quarters...

But I have to help out with my engineering department’s picnic this afternoon. For some reason, I’m the only one with the keys to the storage room where we keep the grills. Anyway, enough of my sob story. At least I’m not stuck at work for the entire game.
