First off, I thank you for checking out the blog, sorry it's been awhile since I've chimed in. I haven't exactly been on vacation, but have been spending my time working on other tv and internet related tasks such as the Football Friday Rewind which posts to ISN every Monday (or when I get it finished) and also the Pigskin Picks high school football column (which posts every Thursday)
Last week, however, I was prepared to write this insightful blog the day of the first start of college basketball practice. I was going to talk about how exciting the upcoming season should be, specifically with two top-15 teams, Purdue & Butler in our coverage wheelhouse and an IU team that should be interesting to watch in Tom Crean's second season. My premise was going to be that when it comes to our college sports coverage on Indysportsnation.com and Fox 59 we could turn the page on College Football, not worth spending much time and resources in covering, and just amp it up for hoops.
Then, last week, IU and Purdue both won, all of the sudden getting people on a regional level talking about the state's Big Ten teams. The Hoosiers knocked off Illinois (no major accomplishment, but a win is a win) while the Boilers shocked the 7th ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. All of the sudden, the Old Oaken Bucket game might have meaning.
