One of the great things about a fancentric social media network like SBN is that it provides opportunities for collaboration across different fan communities. The latest is an extended collaboration between Swish Appeal and California Golden Blogs to bolster their women's college basketball coverage.

We're both looking forward to not only collaborating further, but also building bridges to other women's college basketball communities to share information and insights. And if you're a Cal fan, CGB is the place to be on game day -- norcalnick normally runs a game thread and has the link the online stream.

From CGB: "We are very excited about women's basketball here at CGB. I realize this is somewhat odd for SBN blogs. Looking at some of the other college blogs, some of the are focused on next year's football season without a care about women's basketball at all. If that works for them, great, but here we feel that our readership wants to learn more about the women's basketball team, which is young, but only getting better.

To that end, we've teamed with Swish Appeal, SBN's women's basketball blog, to provide high quality content regarding women's basketball. You've already seen links to some of their writing sprinkled around this site. NorCalNick, our resident women's basketball guru, has already started working with them, too. Here, we've decided to ask Swish Appeal general questions about the Cal women's team this year. Enjoy their answers after the fold and GO BEARS!"
