Running Hammer & Rails is a lot of fun, and this time of year it is a special joy as I get to do two of my favorite things: collect the SB Nation all-Big Ten teams and attend the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. This year I will not be doing the latter, as Jace will be going in my place with the site media credential, but I do get to do the former. It is a banner year, too, as we have 24 voters across 13 of the SB Nation Big Ten sites:
BT Powerhouse - Thomas Beindit
Bucky’s 5th Quarter - Drew Hamm
The Champaign Room - Jeff Horwitz, Matt O’Neill, Michael Berns, Tristan Kissack, Drew Pastorek, Anthony Pasquale
Corn Nation - Patrick Gerhart
Crimson Quarry - Mike Miller
The Daily Gopher - Steve (Zips of Akron), Street
Hammer & Rails - Travis Miller, Jace Jellison, Kyle Holderfield, Andrew Holmes
InsideNU - Daniel Olinger, Meredith Revsine
Land-Grant Holyland - Connor Lemons
Maize N’ Brew - Anthony Broome
The Only Colors - Ryan O’Bleness
That is by far the largest contingent of voters we have ever had since I started doing this.
