I came across a new Blog dedicated specifically to Gopher basketball. There's been a couple really good write ups so far and I thought you guys might be interested.

Just admit that it is yours and that you didn't happen to find it.

... who's the author of the blog.
Actually, it's got some interesting observations (but a bit, uh, long-winded) and worth a bookmark to check out from time to time.
What will be telling is if the author keeps at it. I've seen a lot of these come and then sit there without an entry for several days, then weeks, then months. But bookmarks are free and can always be deleted.

If it got out of hand, maybe a rule would be needed. But simply posting a comment and a link (even if the OP were the author which I'll accept he's not) isn't that big of a deal. Nothing compels anyone to click on the link.
Besides, where would you draw the line? Aren't some of the posts that announce "news" with links the same as advertising/promotion of external links?
IMO (and it's only opinion) GH doesn't need a rule such as this simply because it's not awash with promos.

I will say, keeping a blog going for 2+ years is not exactly easy. Much props to his "friend" if he keeps it up.
