One of the things that has kept me busy for the past week or so has been the start of college basketball season and my duties to it at FanHouse. We’ve been running a slightly delayed top-25 preview series where the profiles (mostly) come from the bloggers that know their teams best.
Josh (Merlin) Verlin of the Oakland Zoo was kind enough to help out and drop his knowledge on #8 Pitt. Go over and check it out.
After you are done with that, head over to the Oakland Zoo to see his conversation about the Akron Zips with an Akron student and the ABJ beat writer. Great stuff.
Cheek is visiting on the 25th, trying to decide between us, Kansas, Nova and Rutgers.
Still holding out hope for Cheek now that Memphis is out of the running…
By the way, I enjoy reading your blog Merlin, thanks.
