Welcome to Views from the Couch

Welcome to 'Views from the Couch', what we hope to make into the most comprehensive blog that a group of college-aged individuals can bring you.

If you are familiar with the grammatical stylings of myself, Jabs, or the Birdman, you will know that we tried to make this blog about three years ago, under the moniker of "Sweaty Towels". While initially successful and beginning to garner a bit of interest from the powers that be, it made like Dontrelle Willis' pitching career and fell into mediocrity, before I eventually set it out to pasture.

Along with Jabs, Bird, and myself, we will be joined my new blogger Morellz, and Bottom of the Ninth blogger Ryan Norton, who can also be found on Bottomofthe9.blogspot.com, and will be helping us with baseball coverage on the site.

You will most likely become to know me by any range of names, but I will mostly post under Lang. I am a UNH Senior, and hope to bring you as much enjoyment as possible in the blogosphere, as I have the ability to entertain like few before me. My focus is mostly going to be on college basketball, but I will also provide half-assed commentary on a potpourri of other subjects.

Jabs, recently a former Minutemen from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and a former high school colleague of mine (along with the aforementioned Birdman and Norton), will provide social commentary on many different sports. I won't pidgeonhole the man into one specific category because he can dip his pen in all of those inks, but he is a baseball man for the most part, but can argue Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots with the best of them.

The Birdman, most recently of New Hampshire State Liquor Store workman's fame, will also focus on a lot of baseball, basketball, and football (he abhors hockey to the fullest extent of the sport, even with the Bruins' Cup victory), and you will most likely walk away nodding your head in agreement. I expect big things out of this lad, and you will also most likely agree that he has the potential to be one of the stalwarts of this blog.

Norton is a baseball man. He can tell you the ins and outs of a prospect, can dig deep into Marco Scutaro's decision making, and can tell you what WAR is (I don't have one fucking clue what that acronym even means). He will be deep into the trenches for us with baseball coverage, and he is a man who knows his shit when it comes to the sport of baseball.

Morells is the only non-NHS graduate to write for this blog, but he is the best man I know when it comes to football coverage. I know very few people who can read a draft magazine cover-to-cover to know what The Hoodie is thinking, but this is a guy who can do it. He will bring you mostly football coverage, but can be relied upon to touch up on other subjects as well.

We will be around writing about different daily subjects every day of the week, and can provide you with entertainment and sports coverage. For the record, as an introductory post, this is not gonna be very entertaining, but it will be what we are all about, and the humor and ideas will start on Monday, so sit back, relax, and grab a beer. It will be a bumpy ride.
