So as I have said before, this is my first rodeo, so plans are of course subject to change and or derailment, but this is the plan so far. I will be posting all days here on the main blog starting at about 9am or so. Ron Zook does print, radio and televised interviews from 10:15 to about 11:45.

Any news events or breaking stories will of course go up here. Be sure however to follow the twitter feed on the right hand side of the screen. I should be posting here all day long as well.

SBN will have its tentacles all over the Big Ten Media days, as Adam Hoge of Bucky's 5th Quarter and Dave from Maize n Brew will also be there, asking inappropriate questions about the personal lives of athletes.

Frankly I might be in over my head on this one, other than this blog, the closest thing to "real journalism" was my stint as an editor on my High School newspaper (the regionally renowned Line O' Type!) But I am sure the media titans like Bob Asmussen and Loren Tate will either kindly welcome the expanded Illini coverage that I provide, or break my computer for trying to break into the racket. Either way it should be an exciting couple of days. See you in Chicago.
