B.I.A.H. Presents: Road Trippin' is a Habit

B.I.A.H has grown a lot in the three years it's been in operation. Viewership has gone up, media attention has gone up, and the growing fan support has been tremendous.

Heading in to this season, we wanted to do something big, something that said "we've arrived", something that would test our journalism skills, professionalism and mental toughness.

See, we're from the East Coast, so a good basketball game is never too far away. But America is a big place. It's filled with great college towns and famous arenas that we may never have the opportunity to visit.

BIAH Site Announcement: Webshow Coming in October

For the past three years BIAH has been nothing more than text, pictures, a couple of live-blogs and maybe the occasional YouTube video. Yes, the content and writing has been great, but after a while, words and pictures start to get, well, stale.

But that is all about to change.

Starting on Monday October 25th, Ballin' Is A Habit will be hosting an hour-long webshow on Hoops Talk Live twice a week (Mondays/Wednesday) from 7:00-8:00PM EST. The Ballin' Is A Habit Webshow will be your go-to source for insightful opinions, friendly banter, and all the breaking news, score updates and anything else involving college basketball.

The best part about the webshow is that you, the viewer, can be involved. All you need to do is go to Hoopstalklive.com while the show is airing and you can use a webcam to drop a question/comment or hop in on the debate.

The show will be hosted by Troy Machir and will feature numerous guest appearances from distinguished college basketball bloggers, writers and analysts.

The BIAH Web-show will be part of the first-ever basketball-only online radio station. Hoops Talk Live has a great lineup of shows featuring a number of prominent basketball writers, including Dick Weiss of the New York Daily Times, Sporting New's Ryan Fagan, Matt Norlander of College Hoops Journal, Chris DiSano of College Chalktalk, Raphielle Johnson of CollegeHoopsNet, and Ryan Feldman of The Hoops Report.

It has also been confirmed that Former New Mexico Star and current-Milwaukee Buck Darrington Hobson, will be hosting a show as well. Hobson was the 2010 Mountain West Player of the year, an Associated Press Third Team All-American, and was the 37th overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2010 NBA draft.

BIAH will continue to produce outstanding articles and intellectual insight in text. The webshow will allow us (and you) to voice our (and your) opinions without the standard restraints of text. So join us as we take BIAH to the next level, starting on Monday, October 25th at 7:00PM EST.

For More information regarding the BIAH web-show, you can email ContactBIAH@gmail.com or hit us up on twitter at BIAHtheTrizzle. For information regarding Hoops Talk Live, you can contact Ryan Feldman at rfeldman@thehoopsreport.com.

B.I.A.H Site Announcement: We Need Your Help!

The college hoops season is roughly six weeks away and we here at B.I.A.H are anxiously awaiting it's arrival more than ever.

As we all know, the internet is a vast canyon of knowledge. Sometimes, even with the help of new innovations in technology and social media, breaking news and updates can slip through the cracks.

That's why B.I.A.H is asking for your help.

One of our goals here at the site is to have the most prolific blogroll in the college hoops blogosphere. While we believe our current blogroll is sufficient, we know there are blogs and sites that we have yet to find. If you know of a great college hoops-related site or team-specific blog, we are asking for you to email a link to contactbiah AT gmail DOT com or shoot us a link on twitter to @BIAHtheTrizzle.

Take a look at our current blogroll and see if we are missing out on any good sites, team-specific or college hoops-related. B.I.A.H is a site dedicated to providing the public with valued opinions and intelligent insight. We need your help to make our opinions more valued and our insight more intelligent.

Now is the time to act. The season is just around the corner, and when it gets here, we want to be as prepared as possible.

In order to do so, we need your help!

Site Announcement!!!

Apologies to anyone that came today looking for a write up on the Pitt-Louisville or the Arizona State-UCLA games. It isn't like I didn't watch the two games. Clearly I did, because I have no life outside this godforsaken sport live and breath the utopia that is collegiate hoops. Both were classics by the way, and anyone that caught the endings knows why. What's happened is that it has been a hectic past two days and I just ran out of time to write them (and I did put in the effort, watching 12 hours of college basketball yesterday, getting a grand total on one hour's shut-eye, and seriously considering some sort of cocaine/meth pick-me-up to get me through today). Things aren't looking any better early next week. I guess it is to be expected when you work in the restaurant industry in DC during the inauguration of Barack Obama.

So what does it all mean? Well, for the next few days, all your daily college basketball info will be provided by the one and only Troy Machir. I will (hopefully) be stopping by periodically, maybe even to give a BIAH-worthy recap of the Syracuse-Pitt game I will most likely be listening to while serving all the faithful Obama-ites their grey-goose-and-cran's.

So if you have any questions or comments, or you just think Troy's an idiot, send those emails to contactbiah@gmail.com. Continue reading...
