I'll try to keep it short.

Before we all drown ourselves in Cal related sports coverage today, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for reading and for all the support and everything. It's only BECAUSE of you guys that I'm doing this stuff in the first place. As far as being able to attend everything, I just got really lucky in regards to scheduling, but I love the program and I would've done it all again in a heartbeat, rest assured.

Stay Golden, everybody.

A couple of other notes before I wrap this up:

I do not know what I plan to do with writing, in regards to my future. I do know that the last month has helped make that something I'm considering more seriously than I ever have. I do still feel that my strengths lie outside of reporting though, and I'm posted some of that stuff around here before.

Chris and I have yet to figure out what my role will be in the fall - that will depend on what I end up doing during my year off - but I'm very, very sure that I'll be returning some capacity.

Sorry for the off-topic tweets. I do not anticipate that changing - mostly because I like to talk about a lot of stuff - although the frequency has dipped significantly. [That being said, feel free to unfollow until the fall or something.]

Thanks again. Go Bears.

You did a great job and I know 95% of us totally appreciate all your updates and articles....Keep up the good work young man. Who knows, maybe Okaydo will hire you to scour the internet for other interesting cyber stuff......:p Thanks for your dedication, hard work and putting up with the BI malcontents who whine like sissy Furdies......

Can't say thanks enough or often enough.

I think I can speak for all east coast Bears that we really appreciated the work you did to make the open practices come alive: the tweets, photos and follow-up summaries.

You write very well, Nam, and that is a terrific ability for anything you choose to do in the future.

Not being able to be there, your eyes and words keep us all up to speed. Thanks so much for all your effort while freezing your fingers off giving that input. Good luck in future ventures.

Thanks
and thanks for the thanks.
And thanks in advance for any additonal thanks.
Seriously though, you brought spring practice into every living room where a bear resides...
...but now my living room's a mess. Actually it was before too.

Nam and I have discussed ways & options of including his reporting this next fall - it will happen - and I will for sure support whatever combination of times & reports he can put together. Look for "Nam" to be a continuing byline.

It occurs to me that having a mix of young reporters - like Nam Le and Andrew Miller on the youth end - and veterans like Dave Newhouse and David Bush on the senior end - help us offer a wide variety of interesting editorial content to our readers.

If you've noticed that - and enjoyed it (or want to suggest otherwise) - feel free.

Grey, we appreciated Nam's enthusiasm and dedication to posting and tweeting. Not all of us can make the practices so we really appreciate any football news. Getting students is a great idea because they're already on campus and don't have to fight traffic home and may even know some of the players.

+1 ... nice angle, Grey, using students also
... and Nam did another great Tweet broadcast of the Spring Game.

Thanks Nam. Try and follow guys like Mike Silver and Joe Lago, who wrote sports at the Daily Cal. Keep writing and hone your craft.

Hey Nam, thanks again for all the great reports! Looked for "the guy with the computer" again to thank you again, but too many people to make this possible, so Thanks! Go Bears!
