2009 Offseason Rundown

It's going to be a long eight months until football returns to Beaver Stadium. But in the meantime...

• Each week, I'll post two regular updates, one on Monday and one on Thursday. These won't really be news items, but rather different analyses and observations about Penn State football leading up to the 2009 opener against Akron. Yesterday, I went over the projected starters for 2009, and this Monday I will release my initial top 25 for the upcoming season...

• Letter Of Intent day is always fun, and you can count on regular recruiting updates right through the big day. Although, without a Terrelle Pryor-type recruit, and with Kevin Newsome already enrolled, I doubt this year's signing day will be as exciting.

• As I did last season, I'll have as much Blue-White Game coverage as possible. I actually hope to expand it this year, particularly the post-game wrap up.

• And who can forget about the NFL Draft?!

• Then there's all the Big Ten Bloggers stuff to do, like pre-season picks, all-conference selections, and the like. That usually starts in June.

• One of my favorite things to write is the First Look series. It will launch sometime in early June, and give a brief preview (three things you need to know) of every team on PSU's schedule.

• In August, I'll have another annual installment of P.S. I know U., a series that runs down all the players, by position/unit.

... and the Blue&White Roundtables, preview magazines, the release of NCAA 2010, picking apart the main stream media's predictions, etc., etc., etc...

I'll ask it again. Who says the off-season is boring?
