Off Tackle Empire...is growing. Many thanks to all you commentors for the incredible off-season comment threads we generated. Many thanks to all the new members also. Many many thanks for folks who bought apparel (OTE is #2 in t-shirts sold for the SBN college network blogs).
There has been a ton of turnover on the OTE site this offseason, so I wanted to update everyone on who writes on which school and where you can follow these folks. Remember, if you want to contribute, we welcome your skills and interest even if someone already writes about your school. Good content is good content. And also, we need a Spartan writer.
Commence team-focused writer tweeter explosion! (PS. You can read everyone's bio here and see the OTE Masthead of writers here).

CANDYSTRIPES FOR BREAKFAST @ericostby
That's right, Indiana. Candystripes is going to cover both basketball and football. Indiana football, that is. Here's his bio:
Despite growing up 30 miles from Boiler Country, I followed my dad's footsteps and got my degree from Indiana University. I just graduated in May, and am in the process of trying to get a real job, to go along with my new OTE position. Outside of the sports world, my primary interest lies in tabletop gaming (board games, card games, etc.) I'm a diehard Hoosier fan in all sports, and only cheer for Notre Dame football when they play the school from West Lafayette.
