Even though this has already been released on our Facebook and YouTube pages, we thought we’d post it here for good measure. I hope that by now you realize that we like to have tons of fun here at the RUSH. Otherwise work would just be…work, right? Enjoy!

Sorry for the pun in the title, but SO much has happened lately, we’ve been RUSHing and running all over the place trying our best to keep up! Last you heard from us, Shaq had just followed us on Tout (Wooo! Still exciting!) but we’ve got even BETTER news now! Apparently, someone high up on the Tout ladder really likes our stuff, and put us right up on top of the POPULAR page on Tout. That’s right. If you go to http://tout.com/popular,you’ll see us in the top left corner of the page.

We're STILL shocked!

As you can imagine, after we found this out, there was a healthy amount of jaw dropping, plenty of giddy screams, and some more victory dancing taking place. Wooooo!

Also– we’ve got our first professional video shoot under our belts (check for that sometime in the next few weeks). But don’t worry–there are plenty more “Green Scream” videos and other in-house video projects to come. We’re not going anywhere anytime soon. As always, check us out on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and subscribe to us on YouTubeAnd it’s probably time that you start getting totally pumped about our OFFICIAL therush.com website release at the end of June. It’s going to be legen….wait for it…. DARY!

Hey Rush followers,

We have been very very busy here at The Rush and just wanted to let all of you who may still be looking for us here that The Rush Team Blog has moved to http://blog.therush.com!

 

Dont worry, its the same format as this blog and will be updated just as often.

 

Thanks to all of our wordpress followers and we hope you look forward to all sorts of sweet new blogs from The Rush!

 

By now, most of you MUST know that Shaq announced his retirement from a brand new social media site called Tout. Tout allows you to upload 15 second video status-updates via an app, to their website. The videos can also be sent to Twitter and Facebook. So, naturally, as a growing social media company, we jumped right on the Tout wagon and started uploading some videos right away. And let us tell you–Tout is a hoot. We absolutely love that website.

Yeah, we were THAT happy about it too.

But here’s something REALLY cool: We found out on Saturday night that the one and only SHAQ was following us on Tout. To put this in perspective: There are 10,300+ users on the site right now. Shaq has about 1/3 of those users following him, and he’s only following 33 people. After doing a MAJOR victory dance, we decided to Tout Shaq back, and you can see that by clicking here.  Pretty cool, huh?

Here’s a short video of what COULD happen if you report too close to the field of play. Hahaha, but really. We’ll share your highlights, NOT your lowlights. Check it out:

 

Our very own Nick Bendzuck vlogged his way through Chicago, where he was traveling to high schools and colleges and telling them all about The Rush. It’s hilarious and fun, so why don’t you just give it a look?
