I-AA BLOGS

[saint0917]

I know Umass74, Colgae13, and Ralph have Blogs for I-AA football, does anyone else have one? And Umass74 has a pic of me on his blog.

Well mine is more of a log (I renamed it to Log), not much writing from me... more of a repository of articles that don't fit at I-AA.org.

Yea, I'm linking all I-AA on mine, so if there is any out there I'm missing, let me know!

And if any of you fanatics out there have thought about starting one, we're all pretty willing to help each other out. I'd love to see more I-AA blogs!

[Umass74]

I just added a link to CelticCat's Big Sky Blog (http://bscfootball.blogspot.com/); its excellent.

Besides individual teams, I would like to see more league blogs. An A10 Blog would be great if one of our saner fans (i.e. someone who could keep Homer on a short leash) would take the plunge. Tribe4life comes to mind...

I've had a lot of fun with mine. When I started, I thought I'd keep it going until I run out of material or I loose interest----- neither has happened.

[catbob]

I'll add all of your blogs, you should return the favor. :D

You should see my a$$ :p xazzx

[saint0917]

I'm glad I started this thread, To start the day I only had 3 I-AA blogs, now I have 7. Someone from Delaware start a blog.:nod:

[Pard4Life]

Just a curious question, how serious do you bloggers take the job? Do you actually get media credentials? Or are you more like fans in the stands posting online?

[colgate13]

LFN get cred from I-AA.org (I think). I'm just the lay fan with a big mouth and some time on my hands... Not that I don't take what I do seriously!

I think there is/was a huge void in dedicated media coverage for I-AA. If the 'pros' won't do it, well, why not me?

Go ahead Pard4Life... keep turning those wheels... www.blogger.com is the starting point... and with all the great resources from your school (like Andy, 29, carney, scout, etc.), you might get something fun going!

And then, one day, when the public discovers how awesome I-AA is, we're all going to get bought out and be millionaires!!!! :)

[Umass74]

There is a site that will "analyze" your blog and compute its business worth on the strength of its links to and from. I believe that the amount is what some large business would pay to "own" your site and have its trademarks there.

The "Blogworth" site is here (http://www.business-opportunities.biz/projects/how-much-is-your-blog-worth/)

Now if only Google will realize the opportunity that lies in I-AA and send 'Gate13 and the rest of us bloggers some of its billions...

[colgate13]

My blog is worth $0! Surprise!

I'm just psyched that I'm showing up in google searches now... Try Pat Simonds (a WR recruit). I'm #2 now! woo-hoo!

[catbob]

Just a fan with too much free time here.

[Umass74]

It sez my blog is worth over $1,800 xazzx

Probably because I have a link to Dave Berry's blog (he cracks me up).

If "gate13" added afew links to ESPN and such his "worth" would soar.

[*****]

"Your blog, anygivensaturday.com/ralphblog/, is worth $0.00" :o

[Lehigh Football Nation]

SHAMELESS BRAGGING ALERT!

My http://lehighfootballnation.blogspot.com is worth $2,258.16

Without ESPN links!

Agree completely about Dave Berry. Saw him in person once speaking to a group of about 100 in Las Vegas. He's as good as you might imagine. Could you put up the link to his blog...too lazy to search myself. Thanks.

And Umass74 has a pic of me on his blog.

As long as we are talking about being in peoples blogs, LFN has a pic of me and "my posse" in his banner. That and making it into the end of season video were the highlights of my year as a fan.

Well, I quit thinking about it and went and did it. Thanks for the push.

Check out http://ovcfootball.blogspot.com.

I've linked to all I saw listed here. Let me know if I missed you.

Also, I could use a few OVC fans of other teams to help out. Let me know if you're interested. There's an e-mail address at the blog.

This is just what I-AA needs! (well, for us fanatics anyways! :) ) I'll be linking shortly and I look forward to reading all about OVC football! Question for fellow bloggers: anyone actually make money from Google AdSense? I did it for a while and dropped it because it didn't do squat. Anyone with different experience?

[LBPop]

Hey, 13! Care to ID the three fellows in the photo on the right? Thanks.

Never tried it. I get the impression that only the tech or political blogs actually make any money....

Or the porn blogs like Fleshbot (http://fleshbot.com/)----- not that I've ever been there of course.

Ralph! Ralph! Don't Look, Ralph!

I googled on my blog and found College Football Resource Blog (http://www.collegefootballresource.com/blog/). The site links to all our blogs mentioned here.

They're all listed as "Non D-I Blogs" :bang:

It's actually worse than that. They are Non D-1 Blogs. :eek:

BTW, who knew about that EWU blog? Do they cover much I-AA (to warrant linking?)

Now it says "Non D1-A".

If you look on the right side where it says "Resource Links" and about 3/4 of the way down it says "Non 1-D Links" if you click on that, I-AA.org is in there.

[CFR]

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your attention to the site (http://www.collegefootballresource.com) (www.collegefootballresource.com) and corrections.

My division I-A links are extensive but I'd love any help I can get adding noteworthy links for the teams and divisions you are interested in to help those sections at my website. Feel free to email me noteworthy links, I'll be sure to add them fairly soon (I have a bit of a backlog of links from time to time, takes a while to appropriately sort them).

collegefootballresource-AT-hotmail.com

Anyway, this is a nice forum, I'll be sure to add it to CFR as well.

Cheers.

[Pete's Weekly]

Thanks to all of those that listed. I added all of the links to this point. If you would care add your site to Pete's:

Click on your conference and add the link.

Thanks again,

The OVC blog needs to be linked from your blog site.

http://ovcfootball.blogspot.com.

[catbob]

Just out of curiosity, how do you fellow bloggers get your news updates? Covering 9 teams is time-consuming - I just check newspapers online daily. Is there a better way, maybe a newsgroup or something?

[Umass74]

Catbob:

I hear ya talkin'. I spend a lot of time cycling through the usual sources of material for my UMass blog every day. I'm helped by UMass' active media relations dept. Some I-AA teams do not update their websites much.

Covering a whole conference would be much harder.

I would suggest that you put the bite on one fan from each team and ask them to alert you to their teams news. Them supplying you with a link would be even better.

If no one will help (or some teams do not have a fan who would step up), then search one team per day and cycle through the league that way. Teams with fans who send you alerts would get more frequent blog posts.

I enjoy your blog. :hurray:

[colgate13]

Google news alerts for every team.

Also get the Yahoo news alerts.

Hey Hen--are you going to have the 'pick em' competition again this year? Enjoyed it last fall.:nod:

[HensRock]

Absolutely!

We'll do the I-AA Top 25 pool again and then a bracket pool for the playoffs. Let me know if you have any ideas for enhancing it.

Glad you enjoyed.

Ralph got his plug on my Grambling blog. :)

I was one of the invited guests, along with Grambling State coach Melvin Spears and former passer Bruce Eugene, on broadcaster Ralph Wallace's weekly Tuesday night program I-AA Waves, a national streaming radio show devoted to Division I-AA football.

Wallace brought up an interesting question, one that resonated with me later. He asked me to explain the attraction of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.

Comparing black college football to the rest of I-AA, I said: We need to appreciate each on their own terms.

In the end, I guess I can't help but wonder why we have to pick sides at all. It makes as much sense as arguing over jazz versus rock. Can't we have both? Would Miles mean more, or Lennon less, if the other had never had a hit?

Of course not.
The hot topic right now is Grambling's AD search: http://www.thenewsstar.com/news/blogs/blog3/index.html

...The hot topic right now is Grambling's AD search: http://www.thenewsstar.com/news/blogs/blog3/index.htmlGeorge is a fave of mine as well. I played the Concert for Bangladesh DVD for my mom at Xmas this past year and she was impressed. So sad he died... such a legend.

Absolutely!

We'll do the I-AA Top 25 pool again and then a bracket pool for the playoffs. Let me know if you have any ideas for enhancing it.

Glad you enjoyed.
Although I would forget to enter occasionally, I really enjoyed it when I did. It forced me to pay attention to some of the I-AA teams in areas that I typically would not have followed. When it came time for the playoffs, I actually knew a little about the teams. If you find the time, you can add me to the list of players. Thanks for the effort. :thumbsup::hurray:
