Beat Visitor's Preseason Sidebar Cleanup

I'm finally getting around to starting some preseason cleaning of the Beat Visitor sidebar (maybe inspired by the BlogPoll cleanup mentioned yesterday). I've added and subtracted blogs in the sidebar on a one-by-one basis over the years, but this is the first time that I've gone through the whole list looking for dead wood that needs to be pushed out.

No, don't worry. We haven't painted the sweater on the
Rutgers: Birthplace of College Football statue a bright scarlet;
I simply played with color saturation levels.

The following Rutgers football blogs have been removed because they haven't been updated in the past year (or their link is dead):

• Knight Hawk
• Knights of Scarlet Blog
• R Sidelines View (created and deleted in the Summer of '09)
• Rutgers Universe City
• Scarlet Days and Knights

If you are the owner of one of these blogs and you decide to resurrect your creation, please let me know. And if you write, or know of, another blog that's dedicated primarily to Rutgers football and updated with some regularity, please suggest it for the list in the comments section.

The same goes for Big East blogs that you feel are worth reading. Here are the inactive blogs I removed this morning:

• Let's Go Drink Some Beers (WVU)
• Bastard Sons of Pinfall Marks (WVU)

And if you've been inactive for months and haven't been cut yet, get busy (or at least write one blog entry a year).
