The Blogosphere Previews the Big Ten

Posted on 19. Nov, 2008 by JF in 2008-2009

A few of you may remember what can only be described, in the words of the kids these days, my “Epic Fail” of a Big Ten Preview last year. Not only did I begin my preview half way through the season, but I started with the worst teams first, and didn’t bother finishing it. While I was proud of what could only be described as the most in-depth preview of Northwestern and Penn State by a completely uninformed and disinterested (sorry fans of bad basketball teams named after large felines) blogger, it was not going to get the job done this year. So instead of an “Epic Fail,” I’m going for moderate success. I have scoured the Blogosphere to find as many team and conference previews as I could. They are organized by team, and the links go to various sites. As you’ll see, the vast majority of team previews are from bloggers who actually are knowledgeable about the teams of which they write. The internet is a big place, and I am sure there are other previews out there. Let me know in the comments what I missed and I will be happy to add them to the list.

    @Ryan -
    And thanks to you. You definitely have a very ambitious site. I can barely keep up with one team, but you do a great job with the whole country.

    I especially appreciate when someone links our site without calling us idiots. Looking forward to seeing what Tubby does for the Gophers this year – we’ll keep in touch.

    If the Gophers go to the final four I reserve the right to call you (and my self for that matter) idiots.
