This Jayhawks newsletter is called Streak Talk.
I’m Corban Goble, a Jayhawk fan, a fourth-generation University of Kansas graduate, and New Orleans-based writer and editor who has contributed sportswriting to the New York Times, GQ, The Players’ Tribune, Grantland (RIP), Page 2 (RIP) and a few others.
I launched Streak Talk in 2019. Here’s a few posts to give you a sample of what I like to write about:
While there’s a subscription tier, basically every post will be free and public—subscribers will get a few more e-mails from me and maybe some free stuff. All subscriptions will be donated, so please consider subscribing! If you have any questions at all, get in touch! If financial obstacles are keeping you from subscribing, reach out and I will help.
Why subscribe?
I started this newsletter as a way of using something I’d be writing about anyway—even if it was just effectively my diary—to raise money for good causes. I feel like you will find good value in this newsletter, compared to other subscription services. But in case you would like some more info on what I’m sending money to…
So far, I’ve donated the newsletter’s entire revenue (around $18k+) to good causes like Bed Stuy Strong, Children of Promise, Sean Casey Animal Rescue and many others. Right now, all donations are going to people and organizations on the ground fighting for racial justice, food insecurity and the environment. I will continue to do this for the near future.
When you buy a paid subscription, you can feel confident that your money will be going out to a good cause as soon as it is processed. If you have a preferred place you would like to donate, I will donate the entire amount of your annual subscription to that cause, pending agreement on the org.
All the updates you want, on your terms, where you want ‘em
Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. All the free stuff will be visible to those even without a sub. If you like a post, please share it. I do not have a meaningful Twitter following or social following, so sharing from readers is absolutely vital.
Join the squad
The Jayhawks have broken our brains… why not embrace it full-heartedly?
On Streak Talk, we’ll talk all things Hawks. When I’m writing, I’ve got crimson and blue glasses on—always have, always will. I’ll also host live-chats during big games or other Jayhawks-related events, if that’s more your speed. Hit me up anytime.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
