Thanks Sprint

This blog has been pretty quiet especially through bowl season, which is pretty inexcusable for a blog on college football national champions.

First off, congratulations to LSU on their BCS Title. Second, congratulations to the Missouri Tigers for their win over Arkansas to claim the Heavyweight Football Championship. Both championships are well deserved and earned.

Now, to the point of this post, a shameless plug for a mobile phone service. And yes, in some ways this plug was paid for, but in a bit of a different way.

A bit more than a year ago, the good folks at Sprint PCS contacted me after coming across this website. They invited me to try out their service, gave me a phone to try out and let me sample all the different services they offer. They started off with this great little Fusic phone and i loved it. I've always thought of Sprint as being rather limited on range and such, but that hasn't been my experience at all. I've done a lot of travelling and it's served me quite well wherever I've been. Then several months ago they sent me this M610 phone by Samsung, and again, I was quite impressed. For anyone who wished they had the NFL Network... you know, i never thought i'd ever watch a football game on my cell phone but i was pretty surprised at how clear it was on that Samsung phone.

Shortly they are going on to other programs, and my beloved Sprint service through this program will be going away. I think that's why I wanted to wait until a time like this to mention the service and all, in that I wanted to make sure that it didn't appear to be just offering a plug like this in order to get more services. But I did want to give a bit of a shout out to the guys at Sprint -- one as a thanks for letting me try their services, and two, to give an honest appraisal of the service I received. I did not think I would be impressed by Sprint, but I was. Thanks again guys for the opportunity and keep up the good work.

And now, back to fooball... hopefully sooner this time than last time....
