I haven't listened to this yet, but I've been thinking a lot about what's been happening at Banner Society/SBNation and why it bums me out (beyond the obvious, much more important fact that people's livelihoods are being affected)... https://twitter.com/HollyAnderson/status/1252817345241706497

What has made Banner Society/SBNation so interesting, imo, is that gets the essence of college football so well. It's a weird, sometimes stupid sport. It's easy to try to ignore/look past that. They didn't just acknowledge it. They enjoyed it. They leaned into the weird/stupid...

I always liked the weirdness subconsciously, but I didn't really realize it until they pointed it out. That's caused me to lean into the weirdness a little more, too, and it makes the whole thing more enjoyable, to me. ...

They also think so far outside the box that there is no box, like the complete answer to whether your team should hire Art Briles: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2019/2/4/18210674/art-briles-baylor-interview-job

There are a lot of other examples, too, both serious and not even remotely serious. I respect that as a journalist and enjoy it as a reader. It has been a unique, fresh approach. And I really, really hope it doesn't go away. /end
