Introducing the SB Nation Conference Re-draft Project
While Barking Carnival still flies an independent banner -- Bill Little at the helm of the Dreamwagon chasing unicorns into a burnt orange sunset -- we are technically a member of the SB Nation tribe and that union will become official once we all exchange spiritual vows on the banks of the...
