The Sagebrush Spot turns one year old

One year older and wiser too!

Ok, maybe not so much on the wiser part. Either way, today marks the one year anniversary of the first post to make its way onto this fair website, setting a standard of mediocrity that still lives on today! The idea for starting this thing had been in the works for a while at that time, but finally after breaking down just how poorly Dave Baldwin's offenses had done in the 4th quarter at that point last year, it was impossible to resist. Then somehow that team became the kings of 4th quarter dramatics. But hey, if talking sports and solving problems is all this website accomplishes, that's fine by me.

So here we are, with 209 total posts, somewhere around 125,000 words typed and 105,554 total page views in year one. Also worth noting that the Utah State football team has a total record of 11-3 since SagebrushSpot.com was born (fist pump). Been a fun run so far, and hopefully gets even more fun with basketball looking primed for a return to glory this year too.

Thanks again to everyone for the support! Excited to keep this train rolling!!!

100,000 hits, 200 posts and a million thanks!!!

I swear I didn't plan on this being the 200th post. That was just random coincidence that I realized on the post counter after typing a completely different beginning to this whole thing.

Let's get to the point of this though, shall we?

With this being the 200th post, it's somewhat of a double-milestone here at The Sagebrush Spot. This weekend also welcomed the 100,000th page view of this website!!!

This site won't turn a year old until more than two weeks from now, yet somehow, someway, people found the motivation to click their way over here 100,000 separate times in only 50 weeks. It's a number that I still almost can't wrap my head around, and as badly as I wanted to write some elaborate, fancy, well-written way to say thanks to everyone, each attempt at starting such a thing fell flat because I didn't feel it could do justice to gratitude.

I fancy myself an okay writer. A person who possesses a way with with words, if you will. Even still, I feel like whatever I write would be understating how grateful I really am to everyone for their support!!!
