Bryan had some changes to his work life and had to sit it aside for the remainder of the season IIRC

Thanks for the info--- I was one of my favorite columns... Hope to see it again!

I'm not saying Bryan is Connor Stalions ... but I'm not not saying it either.

Ya Know.... Opponent Watch did stop the same time as the Signgate fallout and Stalions left..??..?? Hmmmmm...

Someone should tell Brian.

Seems like BiSB had an uptick in his personal/professional life that limited his time in writing the column. I agree wholeheartedly that the column is dearly missed, and I hope that the downtime between beating OSU and the game on the 1st means that one will be coming out tomorrow!

"Seems like BiSB had an uptick in his personal/professional life that limited his time in writing the column"
I find this inexcusable. Everyone has births, deaths, work commitments, tragedies, elation... Prioritizing any of these over my free content??? Like I typed: inexcusable.

Also everyone does commits murders and steals from you.

Oh, don't worry, we're definitely watching Alabama

my fav recurring column

I know it’s been mentioned that life got in the way, but my personal head cannon is that the writers and owners of the site also realized it was a favorite feature on the r/cfb sub on Reddit so it was cancelled to deprive those mouthbreathing group thinkers of their shiny toy as punishment for jumping early on the “UM bad” train.
It may have been a “this hurts me more than it hurts you” punishment, but something had to be done.

Just posting to say this is my favorite thing to read on MGoBlog as well. And that's a commentary on how awesome Opponent Watch is, not disparagement of all the other good stuff.
December 28th, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
I've said many times, it's the best piece of writing found anywhere on the internet. Top notch, every single time. It is what I look forward to the most each week, 2nd only to the actual game.

I made a thread about this a while back as well (totally valid question though, no worries there). BiSB explained that he has a transition with his work and it made things really difficult for him to give the same time-commitment to Opponent Watch. I'm hoping for an offseason OW now where we can go back and make fun of each of our 15 opponents after the season.

The version by Heiko Yang was a nice send off if this turns out to be the last year; perhaps someone else will pick it up.
December 28th, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
Isn't is obvious that Bryan is really Conner Sallions?

OW is probably the content I read out loud to my family most often. Me: laughing. Them: not so much.
