SMQ To Come Out Flat After Excessive Bowl Layoff

Well, hopefully not. But the blog will be out of commission for the rest of the week (hence the early BlogPoll ballot). This is not optional, avoidable or a vacation. I've put a lot aside in the interests of SMQ; I've made my bed, as they say, and now that the regular season is finished, it's fashioned its sheets into a noose and coming after me. I will not be fishing or even, possibly, outdoors at any point for more than ten consecutive seconds.

I'll be around to moderate and possibly update woefully out-of-date sidebars and encourage all readers/users to diarize freely on big coaching stories or whatever they'd like. It's on the right sidebar and an underutilized tool. I'm still intently following various coaching searches, especially the wild one underway at at the ol' alma mater.

I'll be back Monday with vigor and whatever else I can think of. In the meantime, let this be a kind of open thread on the site: what's good, what's bad, what should stay, what should go, do you care about bowl coverage, should there be more news, what would you like to see more of over the offseason, cease and desist using my copyrighted images, etc. I can't control everything, layout wise, and I reserve the right to disregard ideas I don't like. But I've never asked for feedback and this seems like an appropriate time.

Aloha till then.

Enjoy your break
You've earned it.  Thanks for providing this site.  I discovered it this season and it's been part of my mandatory daily reading ever since.  I can't comprehend the amount of time it takes, but you certainly do it right.  

Getting the open threads cranked up during the season was a good move.  It's fun to read and interact with informed observers while the game is going on, or just keeping up games that aren't televised in my area.

And I'll hoist a beer to you while I watch the thrilling http://www.papajohns.com.bowl.featuring.your.USM.Golden.Eagles

Good Luck!

Ditto
I agree that this site is great and you deserve the time off.  Mandatory reading for sure (though it's been killing me in terms of studying for finals).

I just discovered the site this fall, so I can't comment on the off season stuff, but I really like the regular season coverage, and I think the frequency is perfect - not so much as to throw in useless stuff, not so little as to lose my interest.

The sidebar links to specific school blogs are helpful as well.

Feed formatting
It looks to me like curly quotes (including curly apostrophes) don't show up in the RSS feed. See the previous post, which uses lots of them. I know that sounds like a nitpick, but sometimes it makes it genuinely hard to read.

I agree
No Offense but SMU vs UC is a joke, I will watch it because I love UC. I"m still bitter about not being in the sun bowl!

Goddammit
Cincinnati was in a conference with Southern Miss. They played every year. It's USM. SMU is in Texas. Please.
