WHATABURGER, ETBLITZ.COM PAIR UP | Sports website, World’s Greatest announce partnership

Have you noticed that the home page of ETBlitz.com is a certain shade of orange today?

That’s to welcome our new sponsor, the great WHATABURGER, of Tyler-based DKT Investments LTD., which has joined Energy Weldfab to become a part of the ETBlitz.com family.

“It is our absolute pleasure to announce our partnership with Whataburger,” Mitch Lucas, editor/publisher of ETBlitz.com, said on Monday. “Whataburger is the destination for everyone, it seems, every day, but especially after high school sports events. We believe our product is the best sports media product, and if you’re going to have the best in sports media, you need to pair it with the very best in Whataburger.”

With that comes another announcement.

ETBlitz.com already had the Energy Weldfab / ETBlitz.com Scoreboard, which is up and running 24-7, every single day. Now, beginning tomorrow – Tuesday, Jan. 9 – ETBlitz.com will be the home of the Whataburger/ ETBlitz.com Players of the Week, where a male athlete and female athlete who had phenomenal performances over the last seven days will be honored.

Our very first duo of Whataburger/ ETBlitz.com Players of the Week will be announced at noon Central time on Tuesday.

A little more about Whataburger…

• Served 150 school buses full of fresh-cut onions.
• Cut enough lettuce fresh to cover more than 30 football fields.
