In case you haven’t heard, Josh Flory has a new blog called The Bank Draft. Go cash in some pageviews.

It was no sur­prise when Mem­phis took on Ten­nessee that new tele­vi­sion records would be set for ESPN; over 5.21 mil­lion view­ers tuned in. Oddly enough this was good for Knoxify.

On Jan­u­ary 14 we unveiled the hit sin­gle from the Sons of Bruce (SOB), The Bruce Is Loose. Roughly a month later, we told you about the SOB world tour. Our ana­lyt­ics have been going crazy ever since.

In Feb­ru­ary, our Bruce Pearl con­tent accounted for over 14% of pages viewed on this blog. It’s now a fact, Bruce is a one hit won­der.

Now this is a great idea.

A cou­ple of weeks have passed and the side­bar bat­tle has finally ended, for now.

Out­side of the main con­tent area, the right side of this blog is com­prised of 2 side­bars; one con­tain­ing out­side infor­ma­tion and another with an inter­nal con­tent focus.

The third col­umn or far right side­bar used to con­tain our post cat­e­gories and a robust blogroll. No longer is that the case.

Blogs and cat­e­gories go hand-in-hand only if they’re used for the ben­e­fit of the site and the read­ers. Most tend to think of cat­e­gories as nav­i­ga­tional bea­cons for vis­i­tors but in real­ity, they should be tools that empower a dynamic experience.

In the val­ley of orange that we live in, there is much empha­sis on the time-honored tra­di­tion of foot­ball, bas­ket­ball, and other pop­u­lar sports.

In the midst of the orange blood that we all swim and live in, there is a large move­ment of young new sports that are emerg­ing on a gigan­tic plat­form that most of us (even I) ever thought possible.

Wake­board­ing in Knoxville is one of the fastest grow­ing sports to emerge in recent years. This barely 17-year-old sport has begun to grow at rapid rates here locally. With much of the action sports that sur­round us today, there is also a cul­ture that goes with it. Just as the pride of Ten­nessee Vols bleed orange to show faith, many of these wake­board­ers do the same through their daily lifestyles.
