Swish Appeal's 2011-12 College Basketball Coverage: Introductions & What We're Most Excited About

in About Us
So college basketball season is upon us and we've gotten all of our coverage worked out
Most exciting for the site as a whole as we enter our third year covering the college game is that we're probably going to have our broadest college coverage to date: all the power conferences, a few "mid-majors" and a bit of NCAA Division II and NAIA coverage as well.
In general, our goal is for each writer to focus deeply on their team and then use that lens to provide insight about what's going on in the conference in general. If you've been reading this site even for just a few months - or simply glance at the various NCAA conference sections we have (on the top left hand side of our home page) - you can probably guess where our interests lie. But to re-introduce you to each writer I asked them to answer a simple question: What are you most excited about this college season?
I asked them for one sentence, but most were so overjoyed that one sentence simply wasn't enough.

Swish Appeal's 2011 WNBA Coverage: Who's covering what and where

Rejoice: the WNBA season is almost upon us.
And after a bit of a lull since the WNBA Draft, we've picked up the pace again over the last few days so that we're fully prepared for what should be a very competitive season.
Part of the reason for that lull was making a few off-season changes of our own to the team while moving around some more familiar contributors.
So just to make you aware of how we're covering the league this year, a re-introduction to our WNBA team.

Q McCall did not get kidnapped in his sleep and replaced with some clown named Nate.
They are, shockingly, the same person.
But no worries: whoever this person is, he still enjoys Love & Basketball.
Wikio Top Basketball Blogs Rankings: Swish Appeal Ranked #17

Obviously, the team here at Swish Appeal is passionate about women's basketball and takes some pride in what we do.
But I have to admit, being notified that Swish Appeal is ranked #17 on Wikio's latest list of basketball blogs is still a bit surprising (even though we've been on the list previously).
Dishin' and Swishin'....where it comes from and where we're going!

In 1995, two events happened that changed my world.
The first happened in March. On a wonderful night, and day, and then night, my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. My role that day was to not get in the way too much, although to this day she reminds of the part where she wanted her head raised and I hit every other button on the bed control BUT the head raise. It looked like something out of a cartoon, but hey, I get sent to breakfast after that so it wasn't all bad!
The second happened a month later, when Rebecca Lobo and Jen Rizzotti helped shake up the women's basketball world, leading the UConn Huskies to their first national championship. Being in Connecticut, it was impossible to miss the story, and not become captivated.
Swish Appeal: "the best general WNBA coverage of any site"

Mentions of Swish Appeal were made by both the WNBA and the Seattle Storm in their own publications today.
Above, you will see mention of the Seattle Storm's Ashley Robinson and her recent off-season role with the WNBA. Included in this role was developing storylines and pitching story ideas. Her fist pitch-turned-story can be seen right here on Swish Appeal in The Unlikely Story of Johannah Leedham, as written by freelantz.
And below, the Seattle Storm organization doled out accolades for Q McCall and the Swish Appeal site, saying "Swishappeal.com continues to provide the best general WNBA coverage of any site". This compliment follows Q's coverage of Devanei Hampton's impressive performance at Monday's practice.
As we strive to continue to provide a high standard of coverage of the WNBA and women's college basketball we hope that you - our readers - enjoy what you see and keep coming back for more!
See a screenshot of the mentions after the jump.
