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.
A not completely thorough season preview I wrote for UM Hoops, can be viewed here. Check it out, and check them out for all your Michigan needs. Their football team, God love ‘em, isn’t doing so well, so the basketball team might get a boost.
As far as I know, Paint the Town Orange is the only Illinois blog out there one of two Illinois blogs out there. Nice job by me checking my own links. So go read them religiously, just don’t bring up Judas.
Corporate media consolodation has struck Gopher Nation and PJS, and it has left the blogopshere shaking. No word yet on the cause, but sources close to this situation state it has everything to do with Red China, immigrants taking jobs from hard working Americans, an incompetent congress, the inept FDA and contaminated Mexican peppers, and it is in now way a coincidence that this merger is taking place on the same day that Delta and Northwest pilots agreed to a contract, not so communist Russia continues to push deeper into Georgia, and Communist China continues to host the Red Olympics.
From The Barn will continue be an independent and populist voice representing the true middle class, and will not succumb to special interests hell bent on destroying the glue that holds this country together*.
This joint venture, which apparently isn’t quite up and running, will be called The Daily Gopher.
And since MN Sport Hotdish decided to link to me, I might as well do the same.
* And if you thought I was serious up to this point, I have several closed bridges to sell you.
The summer seems to be a great time to do some “blog chores”. I updated the blog software over the weekend (let me know if you want me to add features or if something doesn’t work). I’d also like to update the links that you should see on the sidebar. Do you have more suggestions? If it relates to college basketball, Big Ten basketball teams, or the Gophers, and you think it is worth reading, let me know and I will add it to the list.
Next on the list, remembering spell check, improving grammar, and a header worth looking at…
