Moving Day

Leron asks:

Jonathan, are you traveling with any one of the teams? If not, you should.

Anthony took a good guess:

My prediction is that Jonathan will be set up with his live-blogging apparatus for all games from DC.

He will take the train both ways and explain the virtues of rail travel over air travel. :)

Unfortunately, I will not be traveling to any of the NCAA Tournament sites. I don't have the time to fly out west or down south, and none of the teams I have any connections with are playing in Washington.

There is a chance that I might go to D.C. for a story this weekend anyway, but it will not be basketball-related. Stay tuned, because it will probably end up on the blog.

Well, I take that back... sort of. It won't end up here. With the NCAA Tournament about to begin, I'm switching to a new blog platform.

The new URL is http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/pretzel. It's got some more toys for me to play with, and as a result, I'll be able to get blog posts to do some things that they never have before. You'll like it, I promise.

As a result of the move, I've locked comments on this blog. So come on over to the new blog and have your say about who you've got in the Final Four, how far you think the local teams can go, and whatever else is on your mind about the NCAA Tournament.

And don't forget to play Hoops Hysteria if you aren't already. I'll be posting my bracket soon... and you'll only see my picks on the new blog.

So come on over and join me.

Jonathan Tannenwald is a producer with Philly.com.

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.
