Black Friday and Cyber Monday and Holiday Savings, oh my!

T-Minus a week and change until the Holiday Season unofficially begins.  As you may have heard, the day after Thanksgiving (very underrated holiday) is also known as Black Friday, a day in which sales and discounts are aplenty for the holiday shoppers.  Additionally, the Monday after Black Friday has (un)officially been dubbed Cyber Monday, a day in which online bargains in the form of mass discounts take the centerstage, which results in a 329% increase in shopper joy (note: statistics are guestimates).

Here’s the thing: we’re an online store.  We’re all about the internet, baby (which means no crazy lines, no parking, no traffic, etc.).  But does that mean we’re limiting our savings to just Cyber Monday??  Pause – NO NO NO (Santa!)!  We’re offering great deals starting Black Friday! Rejoice!!

So make sure to check our site regularly throughout next week, on Black Friday, over that weekend, on Cyber Monday, and beyond, because we have a plethora (SAT vocab word) of great offers coming up that’ll make you go wild!

I offer one tip, however.  If you sign up for our e-mail newsletter, you will get a sneak peek at upcoming Holiday deals starting early next week.  I highly suggest the e-mail newsletter, because really, who wants to wait until the last minute to hear about all of the great deals that are going to be offered?  This way, you get a chance to plan ahead without getting overwhelmed.  To sign up, scroll to the bottom of the page and type in your email address under where it says “Email-Signup”.  And then sit back, refresh your email every now and then, and get ready to gear up.

Winter Hats and Winter Gloves Sale – Buy One, Get One 25% Off

May I have your attention, please.  Now through Friday only, we’re running a special winter hat and winter glove promotion.  Buy one winter hat or one pair of winter gloves, get another 25% off.  Now, I know what you’re thinking – what an amazing deal; I needed to stock up for winter anyway, this is perfect timing; I love Sports Unlimited.  But before you go and tell all your friends about this spectacular winter accessories coup, let me give you a few reasons why you should take advantage of this special savings promotion.

Exhibit A: Quality

What if I were to tell you that Sports Unlimited has an assortment of highly technical winter gloves and winter hats; would that be something you would be interested in?  I’m talking big-words technical: GORE-TEX (nice), Pittards Armortan leather (that sounds good), DuoCinch gauntlet closure (awesome), Radiametric Articulation (you lost me), Removable Idiot Cord (what?)…et cetera, et cetera.

This year, we’re stocked with some great new winter gloves and winter hats with numerous advanced features that are designed to keep you warm and comfortable.  Period.  A quick note: Are you tired of taking off your winter gloves to properly use your touch screen electronics?  So are we.  Apparently, we (that’s us and you) aren’t alone, as several winter gloves now offer touch screen friendly capabilities, such as The North Face Etip glove and the Timberland Mens Polartec Eco Powerstretch Touchscreen Gloves, which use silicone grip patterns that allow you to use your touch screen smartphone while keeping your gloves on.  Genius.

Exhibit B: Quantity Continue reading “Winter Hats and Winter Gloves Sale – Buy One, Get One 25% Off”

College Football Report – Is this the year it finally happens?

It’s early November, which means the college football season is officially in serious-mode.  Every game from this point forward is immensely important, especially with teams that have BCS aspirations.  Over the last few years, non-BCS schools (i.e. Boise State, Utah, TCU) have gotten oh so close to making it to the BCS Championship Game, but each time they inevitably fell short.  There was always a marquee name in their way, whether that be Florida, Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, Oklahoma, or Texas, that just pushed those non-AQ schools to the side. But something is different this year.

This year, the mighty may have not completely fallen, but they’ve bled.  Texas has been out of the conversation for a month.  USC, who was already disqualified from a bowl this year, is 5-3.  Alabama lost to South Carolina.  Florida is a shell of its recent self.  Oklahoma lost to Missouri.

MLB Playoffs – LCS Previews

6 and a half months down, 4 teams remaining.  Welcome to Playoff Baseball!  The LDS round brought plenty of drama and memorable moments. From Roy Halladay’s epic no-hitter to Cliff Lee’s dominating series-clinching game 5 W against the Rays to give the Texas Rangers their first postseason series victory EVER, the 2010 LDS round will be remembered as one of the good ones.

One thing that has carried over from the 2010 regular season: amazing pitching.  In what has been widely hailed as “The Year of the Pitcher”, 2010 gave us 5 no-hitters (1 being a perfect game by Roy Halladay…cough cough, go Phils!) and 15 starting pitchers that ended the season with an ERA under 3.00.  The first round of this year’s playoffs showcased masterful pitching, with Roy Halladay (see above), Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, and Tim Lincecum each throwing for a complete game victory.

There were also some painful memories made in the LDS, most notably Atlanta Braves infielder Brooks Conrad’s game 3 against SF.  Kid had 3 errors, which led to a difficult, and tough to watch Atlanta loss.

But now we shift our focus to happier times; the League Championship Series round.  Symmetry is present in both series’; both have the respective league champion against a championship-starved franchise.  In the National League Championship Series, we have the San Francisco Giants looking to dethrone the two-time National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies, while in the American League Championship Series, we have the Texas Rangers trying to overcome the defending World Champion New York Yankees.
