With all due respect to Andy Reid...

... this thing you all are reading right now is a blog.

(A cheap way of getting hits, I realize, but I did all the production work on that video and I know a lot of you are Eagles fans.)

Anyway, there's a lot of good stuff in the local papers today. Start with Joe Juliano's On Local College Football notebook, which has details of Penn and Villanova's injury problems at quarterback.

Mike Kern's Thursday column leads with Missouri's trip to Oklahoma, which is the College GameDay roadshow this week even though the game isn't on any of the ESPNs, ABC, CBS, Versus (which has Cal-Oregon State) or even CSTV.

It's a national broadcast on Fox Sports Net, which has the Big 12 cable contract. So in theory it would be on Comcast SportsNet here, but because the game kicks off at 6 p.m. and the Flyers play at 7, I don't think we're getting the game at all. Such is life.

Given that I've taken a couple shots at Florida State on here, it's only fair that I highlight a Seminole who actually gets it right: sophomore Myron Rolle, a South Jersey native who attended the Hun School.

And Jeff McLane offers a midseason Penn State report card. No grade inflation here, believe me.

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.
