After a few weeks of buildup, today is the official start of the project blogger competition. Here are some of the pre-season efforts that were undertaken by the coaches and their apprentices. A special thanks to Caleb for compiling the blogs and Bob for helping me sort through them for this post.
As you can see, some teams utilized the pre-season to really hit the ground running and some teams have certainly been less visible in their preparation. It's possible we missed a few pre-season posts but with the amount of coverage this is already getting, Caleb had his hands full compiling this list. Good luck everyone and stay tuned for more updates as things progress.
