Slow getting the info out...?

Submitted by GSU Mens BB Fan (not verified) on Wed, 2008-10-29 22:42.

I've been really excited about all the preseason preview content that you guys are offering this year. But I'm disappointed that it seems like the content is slow getting out. Especially the conference previews.

On a side note will the conference previews under the "March Madness All Season Preview" be the same info as the "Conference By Conference" previews?

Thanks,

thanks for the note. you're

Submitted by Shawn Siegel on Wed, 2008-10-29 23:07.

thanks for the note. you're right in that the content has been a little slow to roll out, but that's mostly by design this year. I've found in the past we kind of blew our load (for lack of a better phrase) in early october and then for the next month there was nothing left to say.. so im trying to spread out the content.

the conference previews will be different. they're more like centralized resources to find all of the content related to the league (ie, links to that conferences top 144 previews, etc) along with some previously unreleased stuff (all-conference teams for example).

Those will hopefully be up soon.

Glad you enjoy the content.. don't forget to spread the word about the site.

Fair enouugh....

Sean fair enough I agree with what your are saying. But it is kind of disappointing to read that something will be available but still a couple of days later it isn't.

Anyway, keep up the good work guys, I look forward to reading the content.

true, maybe I should have

Submitted by Shawn Siegel on Thu, 2008-10-30 00:19.

true, maybe I should have been more descriptive than "soon." the only thing really behind schedule is my articles projecting the stats of BCS players, which I've been trying to squeeze out, but have been too swamped to finish. Tomorrow though I'm planning on writing all those.

Oh...

Submitted by GSU Mens BB Fan (not verified) on Fri, 2008-10-31 00:44.

I was talking about this part specifically:
October 27: Nos. 16-14 Conference Previews
October 28: Nos. 13-11 Conference Previews
October 29: Nos. 10-9 Conference Previews
October 30: Nos. 8-7 Conference Previews
October 31: No. 6 Conference Preview
November 3: No. 5 Conference Preview
November 4: No. 4 Conference Preview
November 5: No. 3 Conference Preview
November 6: No. 2 Conference Preview
November 7: No. 1 Conference Preview
- but I suppose that may be out of your control since it is the blogger that is writing those.
