Hey there everyone! This is starting to become habit. For the second time in less than a month my week in review post has run late into the week. I apologize for the delay in getting new content on the site, but you know how life goes…sometimes it just takes over. This has been a busy week for GrandmasterB, as I am putting the finishing touches on a custom theme for a vBulletin forum for work. I’ve been working pretty much non-stop for the past week trying to get all of the bells and whistles installed and working before the big day on Saturday.

FOOTBALL SEASON IS COMING

What big day you ask? Well, this Saturday is the kickoff to the Mountain West Conference football season! While I’m not the biggest college football fan; I am a fan of the network being broadcast nationwide on DirecTV and being the first network dedicated to a single college sports conference to go into nationwide coverage…pretty damn cool. The new forum isn’t quite live yet, but will be launching on Saturday morning for fans of the conference to jump on board and chat it up about their favorite Mountain West Conference teams.

…keep reading, trust me!

Well, I’m not personally in the newest issue of ACCESS DIRECTV, but some of my work is…

A few weeks ago I eluded to the fact that I was going to have an advertisement that I designed published in the August issue of ACCESS DIRECTV. Well, I have received my copy of the recent issue and there it was in all of it’s splendor planted on page 16 right next to some clown that looks like the spawn of David Hasselhoff.

For those of you that don’t know yet; I am the web designer/developer for the MountainWest Sports Network. We were the first television networked solely dedicated to a college sports conference (Mountain West Conference). The network is now in it’s second year and is going to be available on satellite via DirecTV. We will now be the first college sports network to be covered nationally and this is very big news for us. The network will officially launch on DirecTV on channel 616 on August 27th, just three days before the 2008 Mountain West Conference football season starts.

I am currently working on some top secret stuff for our website at work that will be unveiled on the 27th to coincide with the launch on DirecTV. It should be a very big weekend for us and finally the 2008 college football season will be here with the NFL kicking off the season just a week later. I can’t wait!
