Topic:  OT: Did Kyle Whelliston (The Mid-Majority) pass away? Author Message shabamon General User Member Since: 11/17/2006 Location: Cincinnati Post Count: 6,162 Status: Offline     OT: Did Kyle Whelliston (The Mid-Majority) pass away?    Posted: 12/8/2023 12:25:31 PM  For any of you who followed college basketball online in the pre-/early-Twitter era, Whelliston's The Mid-Majority was essential reading and incredibly influential in how we talk about mid-majors today. Particularly noteworthy were his travelogues where he would document his journey attending 80-100 mid-major games in a single season and his concept of The Red Line for classifying who is a mid and who isn't. I think some on this board have met him from his visits to Athens and I believe he created the Last Man contest (trying to go as long as possible without learning who won the Super Bowl) that JSF participated in. https://www.whelliston.com speaks of him in past tense but I cannot find an obituary anywhere. He published a book as recently as last year, so his passing had to have been recent.

I'm reaching out to people in the old community to see if they know anything. His Patreon had a post as recently as Novermber 30.
