Cornrows

by MrPreGame on Feb 17, 2007 12:52 PM EST

i just wanted to ask if anybody else realized that there was already a pacers blog named cornrows on the web. I find it hard to believe this new SB Nation blog came up with that name by themselves. The other blog is very good too and you guys just straight took their name, in my opinion that is very disrespectful. I know cornrows is a good name for a pacers blog but you gouys just couldn't resist stealing the other I personally think this is wrong and don't see myself viewing this SB Nation site much because the original cornrows is a better pacers blog overall, just admit you guys did it and change the name.

Making the move

I used to run the other Cornrows site. You caught me in the middle of my transition from old to new. Thanks for having my back, though. I appreciate it.

One more thought

I'm a big Pacers fan, but hadn't found your old site. Thrilled with your addition to SBN, and even more thrilled with what I see so far. Excellent blogging.

Welcome!

Mailing it in...

OK, Tom, so we've established that you're the same blogger as the old Cornrows site. But what about the quality issue? MrPreGame says that the original Cornrows is a 'better pacers blog overall.' What's the deal? Are you just mailing it in now that you've landed the big SBNation contract? Like those NBA players who play great in a contract year and then disappear after signing for the big money? Is that it? Step it up, man! We want the 'old' Cornrows guy!

New AND Improved

Considering MrPreGame posted this diary before IC had actually gone live (hence there was one nonsense post testing the blockquote code) he had a point. But since, the 'old' Cornrows guy has been staying true to the original.

It's just tough dealing with the added pressure after signing a lucrative deal. Family members are looking for hand outs and women are calling the house at all hours of the night. You know how it is.

Hopefully MrPreGame will give me a monthly status report to make sure I'm keeping it real.

Hmmm...

Now I have a different concern... Sounds like the old Cornrows was better than 'one nonsense post.' So it doesn't sound like the bar was very high.

The Clippers! The best NBA team in LA!

Cool

I have to say your doing a decent job, but maybe my lack of enthusiasm for the pacers is ruining it for me

It is painful, isn't it?

I have to scrounge around pretty hard to find a positive angles. Hopefully we'll get one tonight. Meanwhile, feel free to vent your frustrations here anytime.
