MTC Welcomes "The Ticket Tribute"
Confessor Shaggy called to this site's attention a new Ticket site, "The Ticket Tribute," found here:
www.tickettribute.com
It's only been around for a couple of months, but it's pretty darned good. The Ticket Tribute Guy is more technically savvy than Your Plainsman. He (she?) has constructed a site using WordPress and it has features (the ability to be notified of comments, for example) that Confessors have asked for but that MTC lacks and which I don't believe is available on Blogger. He has scrolling photos to call attention to articles, a Twitter feed -- pretty snazzy. He's also appropriated The Ticket logo. (The Ticket logo is not a registered trademark, but it is undoubtedly a recognizable trademark.) I don't believe it is a Ticket-sponsored website, however. A couple of posts made me wonder, but on balance I'm almost certain this does not have official CTO blessing..
The content appears to be more focused on Ticket news rather than observation and opinion. It's more of a fan site than MTC, or that's the way it appears to date.
It's also pretty clear that Ticket Trib Guy has a longer history with The Ticket than I do, and is more generally knowledgeable about DFW sports-talk radio and its history. He makes reference to his job taking him into the bowels of a local stadium, so he may also have some sportsy background which Your Plainsman decidedly lacks. He has technical information for those interested in things like Internet streaming.

I'm very happy about the appearance of The Ticket Tribute. The thought has crept into my Tickhead lately that it may be time to put MTC out to stud, and if The Ticket Tribute proves to have some staying power, I'd feel better about that. It would also give me a place to ramble, although I suppose I could ramble at The UnTicket if it would have me. And that Radio-Info board ain't half bad for comments, either.
In any event, it's great to check out The Ticket Tribute, so please do so. Welcome, Ticket Trib Guy. Let us hear from you. I'm sure I'll be posting on your site, and the reason I know that is because I already have. Not sure yet whether I've been moderated in or out.

I'll be out for a few days, so as usual, treat this post as your personal Open Thread and let us know what's on your Ticket mind. Say, did anyone hear -- who was it, Gordon? -- say that the reason the Campout was so brief this year was that Mike R refused to stay out more than one night? Damn, I need to carry a little notepad with me or something.
