I always find it amusing that the college basketball season, or at least the men's season, ends on Opening Day of the baseball season. It makes a seamless transition from one of the great indoor sports to one of the great outdoor sports.
Though there are a few weeks between the end of the World Series and the beginning of the college basketball season, it is clear that these two sports are each accorded their own parts of the calendar, and are to be kept separate from each other. This isn't the case with baseball and football, or football and pro basketball, or pretty much any other sport except for Major League Soccer, which doesn't have a team here anyway.
But here we are just a few days after the national championship games, and the whole thing is already well behind us. Which is probably how it should be, but this being a blog about college sports it also means the content on this page gets scaled down for a while.
Having said that, I'm not going away entirely, and I hope you don't either. I'm planning to liveblog the Penn Relays, hopefully along with another member of the Philly.com staff and hopefully with some multimedia elements as well. And I'm sure that over the course of the summer, newsworthy things will happen. They always do, somehow or other.
Of course, I'll continue to answer the emails and comments I get. If you have a question you want answered on here, it's probably a better idea to email me, which you can do by name in the Author box at the top of the page.
My sincere thanks to all of you for actually reading this thing, and helping to create at least a small community of people who have come together here to talk about college hoops. That really was one of the main goals of this blog, and I'm very proud that it's been accomplished.
Until later...

How does one Blog about the Penn Relays?
The guy in lane 1 is ahead... no wait, its the guy in lane 2... etc. Curious how this will play out on line. Unlike a "game" a race is just that. I dont know what you plan on doing besides reporting on results.
I suppose it would be the same if you blogged about a stock car race. Maybe not. At least there are crashes!!!
Maybe I am just so down on the PennRelays...i have had some bad experiences over the years with that event. Its always a good weekend to get out of town
