It's up!

As I posted on here a few days ago, The Tuscaloosa News is going to do a video series based on the book, and the first one is up. It's on No. 73: Own Something Bearing No. 12.

(Bearing, get it)?

Links are at the bottom of this post.

I also have my first book signing to announce, Saturday, Sept. 6 (that's when Alabama plays Tulane) I'll be at the Bryant Museum from 1-3. There's a chance I could get moved to the Quad on campus, but I'll post it if that's the case.

I also did a phone interview on ESPN SportsCenter on Wednesday morning, and I do a regular appearance on 1420 The Tusk in Tuscaloosa at 5 p.m. Wednesdays.

Now this could be pretty neat ...

For those who don't know, my day job is covering Alabama football for the Tuscaloosa News. Well yesterday, I was asked if it would be ok if the paper did the 100 Things in "100 Things Crimson Tide Fans Need to Know or Do Before They Die" as an Internet series.

Would it be ok? It would be more than ok, it would be great.

Not only could this be a huge plug for the book, but also a lot of fun.

I'm not sure which one we're going to do first (we're thinking of going in random order), but I'll let you all know and post a link.

P.S. Thanks to training camp I've fallen way behind schedule on the Notre Dame handbook. Time to pick up the pace.

August update ...

Greetings all, from the press box at Bryant-Denny Stadium, where I'm watching practice for Fan Day. We're not supposed to report on anything that actually happens, so I thought I would take a moment and give an update.

Unfortunately, I'm behind where I want to be on the Notre Dame handbook. After playing in a weeklong tennis tournament in 100-degree heat for work (yes, you read that correctly), there was SEC Media Days followed by a trip to River Falls, Wisconsin, where I spent a couple of days with the Kansas City Chiefs for a short series. The day I returned, Alabama reported for fall practices. So it's been a busy couple of weeks.

Things look good on the "100 Things" front. The marketing should kick in by the end of the month, and although I generally don't look much at the rankings on amazon.com, they've been higher than any of my other books. No signings scheduled yet, although I did turn one down in Mobile because of a scheduling conflict, but I did a radio show in Tulsa last week and my weekly appearances on a Tuscaloosa station (1420) will begin Wednesday.

Yes, football season is here.
