Late again

I was at the Phillies game today. I consider that a valid excuse for not posting today's stories until this late. I'm sure you saw it too, but that was definitely the game of the year. Just unbelievable from start to finish.

(Jim Salisbury's video take on it is here. I was behind the camera.)

Anyway, Rutgers is playing its first football game of the season as I write this. The Inquirer's Ray Parrillo profiles Scarlet Knights defensive tackle Eric Foster and the pipeline from Florida to Piscataway that he's been part of.

Kevin Tatum takes a look around the Mid-American Conference, which is definitely trying to stick its neck out there this season, and Joe Juliano surveys the local smaller-college scene.

In the Daily News, Mike Kern pulls double duty with Temple and Villanova previews.

That's it. I'll be at Temple-Navy tomorrow night, so you can look forward to that. And let me know if you're going, and what kind of a game you think it will be.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
