Anniversaries, Milestones and a Marriage of Thoughts

What a week this has been! First Zack earned his doctorate this week and now is officially refered to as Dr. Zack. Second, 3 Shades of Blue is about to celebrate their first anniversary. Well not exactly an anniversary of the site since it was up originally in March of 2007 but an anniversary of when we launched out into the world's attention. On September 14th we posted the blog Class in Session with Chris Wallace. Henry Abbott at TrueHoop actually wrote a blog about our blog meeting Chris Wallace and the rest is internet history so to speak.

Three Shades of Blue also just passed the 250,000 unique hits mark this week. Thanks so much for all of our readers for thier support in reaching this milestone.

and as many people may have already noticed, two of the most respected blogs covering our Memphis Grizzlies have joined forces here at 3 Shades of Blue. Nation of Grizzlam bloggers Kirk, Zac and HPTMatt are now official bloggers at 3 Shades of Blue. This seems to be the perfect marriage of two of the leading blogs on the Memphis Grizzlies. Zac and Kirk will continue to speak for the average fan with their slightly irreverant style. We are not asking or expecting them to change a thing they do. We just are happy to have them doing it here now.

I hope everyone else is excited about this news as we are.

New Blood

For those of you longing for the return of Nation of Grizzlam.......sorry, it ain't happening. :(

For those of you longing to hear more from the miscreants that made up NoG.......they're back. :)
3 Shades of Blue used up their salary cap space to sign most of those hoodlums and troublemakers, because quite frankly, we have no concern about our team chemistry and don't think we'll be around long enough for a 3 Year Plan. We also signed a top level free agent named Lee Eric Smith who did some freelance work for us while ignoring his more important classwork in college this past season. We're a bad influence like that.

That means that you don't have to listen to Chip and myself spout out the same opinion day after day after day any longer. In other words, the terrorists have officially won.

Getting airline tickets to midwest airlines is easier than getting on alaskan airlines or the indian airlines, due to less number of flights.
