2023-24 Wake Forest Basketball Season - 21-14 (11-9) - KP#29 / NET#43

Imma be honest. And Imma listen.

But I feel like Boots on the Ground is a pretty bizarre name for a sports podcast.

Understandable without context. Ben and I adopted that saying last year as a mantra to be present at any and every Wake Forest athletics event possible and provide as much coverage as we can.

I'm even more confused now:

"An interview style podcast that focuses on three main themes including but not limited to- Wildlife conservation, Biodiversity preservation and Climate change."

That's a different pod with, unfortunately, the same name.

Ours is listed here:

Seems like you should rename yours to something more Wake related for SEO purposes and the fact that something already exists. But that's just my .02

 

[Colonel Angus]

Not sure about that... With a focus already on climate change all he needs to add is "Hamas talking points" and "decolonization" and he will have 98.7% of Tunnels posters downloading his podcast.

One of the weirder sports/war metaphors I’ve seen.

What's truly bonkers is that you both have almost identical logos.

He's a weird dude.

I know there are a ton of podcasts out there but it doesn’t seem great to use a name that’s already out there. It either confuses potential listeners or it looks like they didn’t look before picking a name.

Appreciate the podcast, good to have some passionate students in the pipeline. Gotta love the preseason optimism. I think we’ll be pretty good by Jan/Feb, but the early tough schedule worries me in relation to the tournament bid and our current roster challenges (injuries, waiver, etc).

 

[wufu bufu]

Not to be confused with the podcast exclusively covering the Shrek spinoff, "Puss 'n Boots on the Ground"

Thanks for the listen! And appreciate all the feedback on pod names and such from you all. Certainly a learning process.

 

[birdman]

Have you considered "Boots on Mother so Dear?"

 

[DeacDaddy]

Boots on the Quad

 

[BeachBumDeac]

"The Show Uppers"

 

[Complacent Deac]

Heck yeah we are a sleeping giant.

 

[buckets]

[BarcaDeac]

We all agreed not to tell you
