It was later accidentally deleted. This doesn't make Tannenwald any less cool, however. Bring back Tannenwald. Actually, Senior Sports Editor Matt “Connie Mack” Conrad wrote the first Buzz post.

Bring back Tannenwald.

Just think, we the masses could have been privy to such leading queries as "Are the Hawks for real." Instead we had to settle for crap on the level of "Why the hell is nothing open in Kentucky" and "Why won't Mrs. Bilsky say hello to me?" Real shame.

Can he get any cooler? What more does he have to do to become as Philadelphia as a Butterscotch Krimpet? I defy you to defy this leading query and have the nay-sayers abide.

The Buzz launched on January 8, 2006 -- over a year earlier. http://www.thecrimson.com/blog_summary.aspx?blogID=43&page=10&Month=0&Year=0&tagID=0 There was a predecessor blog to Sports Blog that predated The Buzz by about a month, but it quickly folded. It updated maybe six times in that month. As a result, The Buzz is the oldest sports blog in the Ivy League (and still the only[?] one that posts at least daily -- I haven't checked lately). I believe that the Spec was next, a couple months later. The Buzz may be the oldest Ivy blog period (not just sports), and may be the nation's oldest collegiate sports blog. (Too much to research, but both are possible, and at the least, are close). The Crimson’s Sports Blog launched in February, 2007.
