Jim Houghton, Beau Dure and me in the Chicago Red Stars double-wide trailer outside of Toyota Park.
Turns out that one of the most notable soccer writers in the country is in Chicago this weekend for a couple big events (one of which was, of course, the 5-2 Chicago wallop over New York Red Bulls last night at Toyota Park).
Is it crazy that a quick Google search for “Beau Dure” lists his resume #1 in the SERP?
Well, you can get to know Beau too!
- Be his friend on Facebook
- Join his fan group on Big Soccer
- Connect on Linkedin
- Network with him on MediaGeeks (a Ning Network)
- Read the same books as him on Amazon
- Follow him on Twitter
- Or browse all of his articles on USA Today
And my particular favorite, a study he wrote during his MA studies at Duke University, “The Changing Face of News in the Information Age.”
Beau, you may very well be my new hero.
My blog, Soccer Science: The Neurotic Genius of Soccer in the Digital Age, takes a look at the new media technologies that are revolutionizing the way we see the beautiful game. I'm a web geek, former college coach, industry professional and sports fan.
