One last rant about the demise of the traditional media guide. I spent all day yesterday collecting web pages and taking notes for the Dartmouth opponent previews that will start Monday on Green Alert Premium. Still, there's a lot more to do before I can begin to write.
Prior to the end of the media guide as we know it I would have picked up freshly printed copies of the books from each school Tuesday at Ivy League Media Day (which, by the way, has de-volved into a conference call), pored over them for the next day or so and pretty much hit the ground running. Whether the decision to move away from comprehensive, printed guides was the proper idea for fans is one thing, but I suspect you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone in the media who thinks it was a good thing for those of us who cover teams.
That out of the way, the BGA opponent previews will begin Monday and continue each weekday for two weeks. The schedule:
Aug. 13 Brown
Aug. 14 Columbia
Aug. 15 Cornell
Aug. 16 Harvard
Aug. 17 Penn
Aug. 20 Princeton
Aug. 21 Yale
Aug. 22 Butler
Aug. 23 Holy Cross
Aug. 24 Sacred Heart
