We Love No Other 6.13 - Martin O'Donnell
You know how these intros go. Blah blah blah listen on Spotify here blah blah blah here's the podcast. So maybe I should just skip the typical intro to the intro and just get to that stuff (and then the podcast episode).

Going to echo what was said yesterday, Robert. Many of us don’t have a spare hour to listen, and prefer your written thoughts.

Robert pivoting. Cannot say I blame him and this not a complaint, but gone audio/video heavy this fall. The two written posts this week (him and Craig) were appreciated, but I don't have the time for the other stuff other than Saturdays and those dedicated to the games.

"Robert is pivoting"... to things that don't earn him a single penny?
Robert has to be the dumbest blogger on the planet.

I like the videos and audio sessions. That Wisconsin video was very entertaining. For audio, I can listen in the car or while I'm doing something else. Plus hearing voices is much richer than printed words.

The issue, obviously, is that I've done too many different things. I do CTT on video and I do podcasts and I write certain weekly posts and then I've painted myself into a corner where certain people are demanding certain content and I cannot provide it all.
And because the demands are coming in different directions, nobody sees the other demands. The two guys here who want more written content didn't see the "you can't do all these amazing podcasts over the summer and then just stop when the football season starts" demands. And the people who want CTT videos (I'm about 4 hours from being finished this week) don't see all of the "more podcasts!" and "more articles!" demands.
All of this is 100% my fault for putting different things out there. I'll find a way to fix it. But I just want everyone to know... I've gone sun-up to sun-down every single day this week. Took 3 hours watching Netflix with my wife on Wednesday night and every other waking moment was either spent writing, researching, or producing something. This just so happens to be a week with a trip to Minneapolis for media days and the tour of Ubben. Both of which I plan to write about... when I find the time.
Back to CTT........

I don't intend to make you feel bad. I really don't and tried to convey that. You've built a nice business and deserve every part of its successes. I've enjoyed your offerings for well over a decade and continue to do so.
Put it this way, to the extent you consider my words representative of x% of your subscribers, and to the extent you want to consider them, I offer them. If you don't, discard them. No hard feelings.

Hi Robert. Just thought I should first say that I love it all. Keep everything coming --- "Feed Me!" And just keep doing what you're doing.
With respect to your discussion with Martin above, I think you, Martin and BB are convincing me to revise my Saturday prediction for the first time in many, many years. I'm hearing way too much positivity. Bielema is building a real program and he's truly developing talent. This is not a mirage.
On top of that, Taz is playing. #1 is playing. Dark Angel is playing. Tommy and Josh COULD play. All this --- and the kicking game will be left in the capable hands of our two reliable Freshmen.
I predicted a 23-17 loss early in the week (Tuesday I think), under the belief that the world was collapsing and we'd be without 5-6 key players. Personally, however, I like Art and have trust he will manage an effective game for us if he ends up playing 60 minutes. A healthy roster will enable us to cover the full 6.5 point spread.

Also love all of the content in any form. Understand that everyone is particular and it’s impossible to cater to everyone. Keep it up!
