Video from 2010 Big Ten Football Media Day

Here’s some videos from Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, Michigan State Football Coach Mark Dantonio, and Michigan Football Coach Rich Rodriguez from the 2010 Big Ten Football Media Day on the Big Ten Network.

Lots of great remarks and also features question and answer sessions from each. Lots of talk about expansion, a conference championship game, division alignment, and officiating from the Commish.

Coach Dantonio gave a nice preview of his team and talked about players to watch out for before answering questions.

Coach Rodriguez gave a quick summary of his team and jumped right into questions.

All in all, lots of great info, and more kudos to the Big Ten Network. I can’t get enough of this stuff!

HarvestTour_2010_color_sOne of my favorite memories with my Dad growing up was riding in the Leelanau Harvest Tour. It’s hard to believe I used to be able to bike 20 miles or more! Leelanau County offers many scenic roads that allow for amazing rides and views throughout the county.

The tour takes place on Sunday, September 19th, 2010 and starts at Glen Lake High School. Camping is available on Saturday night on the school grounds. The tour features 25, 45, 67 and 100 mile routes.
