2012 – The Third Quarter

Photo Attribution: US Presswire

We’ve hit a pretty slow time of year so this is a quick series to look back at what we did in 2012 and share some goals with y’all for 2013. Next up is Q3 (July – September)

1st Quarter | 2nd Quarter 

Top five posts

1. Camo uniforms – I got destroyed on the message boards for this post but literally all I said was “these were probably proposed but OSU will not be wearing them against Texas.” That’s it.

2. Preseason picks evaluated – Fun post here about who’s traditionally underrated/overrated.

3. Arizona watch guide – Not much to say here, you guys were beating down every door on the web to find this game.

4. Social media guide – I didn’t know this would be such a big hit nationally. Need to do it for college hoops soon.

5. Three questions with Melanie Weeden – Very gracious of her to join me to talk football, the NFL life, and what drives her and Brandon.

My favorite posts

Three questions with Mrs. Pistols – These are always hilarious in hindsight, this one is no different.

The biggest question – I’m not sure this year’s team ever found it.

OSU survey results – More awesomeness from OKC Dave.

Why I love this time of year – I’d been waiting seven months to unload that last line.

Synopsis

Pretty strange that we had more visitors last year than this year but that was mostly due to the popularity of the uniform post last year. Overall, I was pleased with the third quarter though I felt like I could have done a better job (as I usually do) with season preview stuff.
