Spencer Hall has announced the end of SB Nation’s college football blog Everyday Should Be Saturday in a heartfelt post Wednesday afternoon.
The post shared the story of how the site came to be and eventually met its end. Hall also took the opportunity to thank readers and his fellow writers, including Holly Anderson,
“You showed up for some reason and read, and talked back, and kept this alive much longer than I ever imagined I could,” Hall said “A community formed, thrived, and became its own bumptious thing. Some of y’all have kids with each other now. I can’t really process that EDSBS might be responsible for the existence of select actual humans.”
Hall began EDSBS in 2005 before selling it to SB Nation in 2009. He has since been an editorial director for SB Nation. Though his role isn’t defined with EDSBS ending, Hall reassured fans he isn’t leaving the website altogether.
“This has been a gift, all of it,” he added. “It will stay that way, right here, preserved in internet amber. It will appear locked, but there will probably be places you can crowbar open if you want to trespass around a bit. I will be somewhere else. (Not leaving the company! But not here at EDSBS, which is now closed.)”
