Better yet, it’s free!
As you have noticed, our little project is growing. TRL 2.0 has now been online for just under 60 days, and in that time we have shot up, way up — we are averaging well over 150,000 page views a month.
We have added half a dozen new features in the last month, and we have welcomed two new contributors. All of those are outstanding things, and we thank you for your time and patronage.
It is a labor of love for us, to be sure, but at the end of the day, 1. we want to give you what you more and more of the content you enjoy, and 2. though a labor of love, it IS still labor…And a helluva lot of it at that.
It wasn’t a BFD when it was just me cranking out 4-5 things a week. However, this past week, we produced 19 articles, and are aiming for even more. But, I am still handling the bulk of the writing while also trying to juggle the administrative cats, do the advertising, keep the lights on, etc. And sadly, I only have two hands, and there are but 24 hours in a day. I already have days in the week where I will easily be writing and doing things for the site for 13 or 14 hours.
That poses a bit of a problem, because I only have so much time and energy. And Basketball season has now started. I simply cannot do it justice and cover this team the way it deserves to be, while also continuing to crank out up to two dozen football articles a week.
So, we need you — yes, you! — to come and join our growing merry band of misfits at TRL!
We need someone to either be our hoops guru, or pitch in writing some Crimson Tide football (handle a few of the morning daily links on our Gump Dump, maybe some game recaps or previews, features that you want to write, maybe hunting down stuff for the meltdown. The sky is the limit).
So, hoops or gridiron: the choice is yours. But we desperately need a third content writer so we can continue to grow and we can continue to give you even more of what you enjoy.
No experience required. No technical skill needed. Don’t be bashful. Just have some decent insights, be willing to look some stuff up online, have a degree of writing proficiency at or about 9th to 11th grade, which is where most Americans read, the willingness to hop in, and bring your Gump!
if you’re interested in one or both sports, shoot me an email to: erikevans.trl@gmail.com. And even if you are not personally interested, please send this along to someone you know who might be.
Winning is always more fun when you’re sharing it with others…besides, we have the zestiest group text in all of CFB fandom!
Thanks for reading, and Roll Tide!

PRETTY PLEASE?! 🙏🏼
I might try some bball content, i can write much better than posting, lol
ill think of a few ideas- mine would be the game from the stands, atmosphere, tempo changes, etc
Man that would be awesome. We can find recaps and stats elsewhere. Analysis and vibe is what we need.
besides, I know for a fact that you have great seats. LOL.
just shoot me a text.
I would look forward to a Zappa article as much as CB’s Random Thoughts.
Please don’t change your writing style too much
