PFB Schedule and Update: Soccer Starts on Saturday

Real games this week! Ok, one real game. OSU women’s soccer gets the school year cranking with a road game at Mizzou this week on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Also, fall camp for football rolls on with the first game of the year nearly three weeks (!) away. Here’s a look at this week’s schedule and PFB’s planned coverage.

Oklahoma State Games

• August 12: Women’s soccer at Mizzou — 7 p.m.

Oklahoma State Media Appearances

There will be football media availability after Wednesday’s practice.

PFB Coverage

We should have player and coach interviews and videos from Wednesday’s practice. I will be in Charlotte, NC this week for Rickie Fowler’s first major championship win the PGA Championship.

Site updates

I thought this might also be a good place to start bringing you updates on what we’re doing on the site, how contributions are going etc. I’m stealing this idea from this terrific Pittsburgh website which does much of the same.

We have completed the two things I really wanted to complete before the season which were bringing on another writer and pulling in a couple of interns to help us really grow the site this fall. This is incredibly exciting to me as our team continues to expand and diversify in talent. We have already built out the site a little bit more, adding schedules, rosters and a small recruiting database, and we have plans to add much more.

We added 6 new paying contributors last week and are up to 176 total. My goal is to get to 250 by the time football starts and 500 by the end of football season. If we get to beyond 500 we can seriously start thinking about bringing on a full-time employee (which would be incredible).

Our PFB store should re-open next week. We have 20+ new designs, and contributors will get discounts on the gear when the store re-opens (another reason to support us!)

An OSU staffer asked me at practice on Saturday if I ever dreamed PFB would blow up like this. I told him I honestly did not, but it’s been such a fun ride and we’re super fired up for the future of our little sports media company.
