Goodbye

As if it weren't obvious already by the lack of posts for the past 8 months, Bears with Fangs is pretty much done as a blog.

Six years ago I started the blog as a hobby when there were just a few other independent Cal football blogs out there. The contrast in my life then and now is stark: I wasn't married, had a desk job that afforded me time to research, contemplate and post, and was consumed with my passion for Cal football and its relative success.

Now, I'm married with a baby boy, and have changed careers completely. Rarely, if ever do I have time to spend two to three hours to pump out a blog post.

And let's be honest here, writing about Cal football has become less enjoyable. Reading over some of my previous posts last year had me reliving just how brutal it was to constantly write about the current state of affairs with Cal football.

Still, I find it hard to imagine that I'd still find the time to blog even if Cal were soaring at uber-successful levels.

All in all, I look back at my time with BearswithFangs really fondly. It was a fun way to connect with readers and admittedly pretty exciting when I found out what I had written reached a large reader base like when I was linked and cited in ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Diablo Magazine, etc. Not many bloggers can say that.

Thanks to all the readers who even lent a minute of their time to read something I wrote. I want to also make it clear that my passion for Cal football is stronger than it's ever been despite how the team has struggled in recent years.

And as always, Go Bears. Read the rest of the post and comments here >>
