Cats (Lions?) out the bag

[newkidontheblock]

Hey everyone, 

So you all know me on here as newkidontheblock in here, well, truth to be told, as I know atleast one person in here already knows, I'm actually the TimesDaily's UNA beat writer. 

I thought this would be a cool way for me to give you all some of the info I get and at the same time stay engaged and learn what most UNA fans are wanting to know more about. 

Long story short, it helped a lot. You guys care more about UNA than anyone I've come across! That's awesome. 

Well, unfortunately, the reason I'm letting you all in on this now is because... 

I'm leaving the TimesDaily after basketball season ends. 

It's been a tough year for everyone and unfortunately its no different for me. COVID stinks of course, but I've got some other things I'm dealing with personally and in my family and I think its best for me to return back home to the Atlanta area and take care of that. 

That being said, I have full confidence who ever comes in as the next UNA beat writer will be excellent. There's a ton of great stories to tell here. This is a growing program. Sure, things may not always be peaches and cream, but I think the Lions will be in a good spot in the future. 

Thanks for letting me crash yall's party for the last, I guess a little under two years or so. Ya'll have been great. Appreciate you all!

Prayers up for you and your family. I always read your Twitter page, gave a lot of good information, you will be missed. You are right, North Alabama is in huge growth stage. The next time you visit we will likely look a lot different.
