CBB Team Blog

[RyanParrill]

I'm trying to put together a comprehensive list of CBB blogs. Some teams even have more than 1, so if you know of any, please share. Yes, I realize I can google this. I trust you all more than google, and that's what I'll have to use to finish the list anyways.

Michigan has 2 that I rely on, umhoops.com and mgoblog.com.

Challenge: Produce blogs for 100 teams, 99 left, go!

Purdue
Ohio State
Michigan State
Indiana
Villanova

Thanks for the help, though, Mount

Someone should alert Jay-Z how easy it is to problem solve some of these issues.

Ryan, are you going to compile this list somewhere (or is BTB going to)? If not, can we have this thread stickied?

I'll compile the list. BTB smacked me in the face last night and re-tweeted out his "give me suggestions that I won't edit into this" writers list.

it's not too difficult to find 50 blog real quick. The problem is know which is the best. Michigan has 6 or 7 blogs but only 2 actually provide content. So it's a lot of sifting through BS.

Sorry if this came across as criticism. I wasn't trying to complain about the pace of the list being compiled; I was worried about where to find this content in the future. You're doing good work, sir.

No way, just giving you the heads up. It sure will be purrttyyy once it's done though.

Check out the rss feed center at BBState.com. There you'll find an rss feed that aggregates a lot of the blog/news coverage each each team receives.

Do you recommend any? I appreciate the link, I'll definitely use it. I'm trying to establish 'quality' blogs. I could spend 8 hours today finding 200 blogs without a problem, but 125 of those may not post relevant content, hence wasting much more than 8 hours of my time in the future. As I said, Michigan has 2 credible blogs out of ~8. Thanks, again, for the help pking.

I haven't gone through each link so I can't say how many are live links or not (although I've never come across a link that hasn't worked on this site). However, the rss feeds actually aggregates content from several blogs/news sites for a specific team. For instance, http://www.bbstate.com/schools/MICH/news is bbstate.com's news link for UofM (the rss feed for that link is http://www.bbstate.com/rss/schools/MICH.xml). In this case BBState has aggregated stories from http://www.mgoblue.com, Sports Illustrated, MSNBC, Rush the Court, Yahoo News Wire and USA Today. So, someone interested in following a single team doesn't have to identify specific blogs for that team. BBState has done that for you. All you have to do is subscribe to the rss feed for the specific team and all the team news comes to you from the multiple sources BBState has linked to. I know it doesn't exactly give you what you are looking for in "credible blogs" for different teams but I think it gets you to the end game of being able to identify all the news for a specific team and aggregate that content much faster. If I'm off base here please let me know.

Glad to help.
