The Beginning

This is a blog. What sort of blog? It's a blog about college sports, which never fail to cause my productivity to plummet.

Specifically, this blog will mostly be about football and basketball, with dashes of baseball, tennis, and hockey thrown in. There are three of us, spread out geographically, with entirely different interests team-wise. We really don't agree on much, not even about how little we like Notre Dame.

My own biases? I'm Big Ten born and bred: a lifelong Meeechigan fan who went to Illinois and now goes to Penn State.

The only region you won't see covered here much is the West Coast, because none of us really care. For those few of you who stumble across this blog in its infancy, you probably won't see much until next week, for conference tournament coverage.

So what should you, the reader, possibly expect from this blog? A dose exceeding your RDA of juvenile humor and rants, probably. Some statistical analysis. Lots of love for live mascots, especially those that are actually dangerous. Occasionally you may even see something resembling cogent analysis.

And what is Pepidemiology, anyway? It's the science of fandom in sports, as demonstrated by Every Day Should Be Saturday.

'Nuff said.
