Brewerfan.net mentioned on ESPN News!

[hawing]

Imagine the intimidation factor this will give the softball team!

 

You need an iron-on patch for the jerseys:

 

"As seen on ESPNEWS"

 

Jamie, did you imagine anything like this when you signed on as PR mogul? They could be contacting you next.

 

And for heaven's sake, everyone, watch the spelling and grammar. ESPN could be reading!

 

Edit: I guess that would be "as mentioned on ESPNEWS."

[Schlitz001]

Someone over at ESPN has been going through these threads. They must have read the one about how baseball tonight overlooks the Brewers, because there was a full 10 minutes of coverage at the beginning and end of the show. I'm impressed.

No, I didn't. We've been talked about before, but not on such a grand scale. I'm just trying to figure out if that spot was slightly poking fun or not.

I had never even though of espn as an avenue of approach. However you look at the mention, it's awfully cool.

Imagine- one day Brian dicided to "start a small Brewers fan site" and now it's got it's own 1-2 times a week radio spot, Baseball America Mentions, Baseball Prospectus mentions, Jim Powell is a fan, the Journal Sentinel, and now a mention on a national sports news show.

Pretty overwhelming if you think about it.

Mostly deserving is all of you. The members make this site what it is, and what it may become.

So let me get this straight, the Johan Santana thread they mentioned doesn't really exist??? Not sure why they would go out of their way to make that up.

[gobrew23]

Wow, that is so cool...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

[brewers19]

It exists, check the Trade Rumors forum.

[Southwest Brewer]

good stuff...........hope you're getting some advertising dollars Brian. this place is definitely seen by many people.

[Southwest Brewer]

I was just reading that thread last night and thought about posting a response. Wish I had, could've made ESPNnews. Dang it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[homer]

Wow. Odd to think a thread I posted in was mentioned on ESPN news. Granted, the guy probably just looked at the title and ran with it, but still.......nice job everyone.

[And That]

I'll echo other sentiments... wow. Had to show it to my friends once I saw it. Good job, Brian, and good job Brewerfan nation.

[berniebrewer4life]

What the heck? See, this is what happens when i work.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Oh well, nice to see the ole BF.NET making the jump to expanded Cable. I wish they would have used a different thread(as that one was pretty much a joke). It will be interesting to see if the # of views per day/members joined jumps much in the near future.

[madbad2000]

That was simply amazing. What was also pretty sweet in that clip, the whole time on the ticker at the bottom in reads "Wisconsin Wins Men's Ice Hockey Title." Just a great day all around.

[LS Brewer]

Very nice. Very very nice. Now let's see if we can make that Johan Santana dream become true...

[BCZF]

This is great, lesssee the internet, radio and now television. I see a media empire being born here!

Any way to download this?

Do you have an FTP site anywhere that I can upload it to? It's about 37 megs.

[litesrn]

Where's my magnet? I started this thread!!!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Just kidding - I was really excited to see all the BrewCrew coverage last night, especially right on the heels of the Badger hockey win!!

[brettac1]

Do you have an FTP site anywhere that I can upload it to? It's about 37 megs.

 

No. I have a Putfile, but I think the max you can upload to that is 25 megs. Maybe I'll just rip the audio stream and put that up there, so that at least that will be intact if they do indeed pull it off YouTube.

[Brian the Automator]

worst case scenario, i'll set up a web server or FTP server on my local machine and put it online for you to download.

Has Brewerfan.net ever thought of advertising at Miller Park, or on the Brewer Broadcast?

Given our non-existant revenue streams, I don't see that being a possibility... unless 13 of us want to streak across the field with each character of "brewerfan.net" painted on one of us.

I call the "dot".

[markwitx]

How about trying to sell ad space on here, that would give you money for outside advertising.

[ How about trying to sell ad space on here, that would give you money for outside advertising. ]

 

To be honest, I don't care about advertising. All I really want is enough money to pay for the site and to purchase items for promotions. I've gotten lots of offers to advertise before, but i've turned the majority of them down. A lot of them are commission-based, and I don't feel like dealing with them.

 

For the most part, anyone who's a die-hard fan is already a lurker or a poster. If you Google pretty much anything Brewers-related, we're right there. I'm not after sheer quantities of people and hits... I want to attract the people who either are diehard fans or want to become them.

Ah....no. It'd be all kinds of publicity, no doubt, but millions of viewers would be scarred for life.
