The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Talk about story ideas

I retreated to my basement for a few days and spent some time on my job. Last night, I made a loose budget of stories for preseason camp, which begins Friday. There are 14 practices and eight are open while a scrimmage is listed as TBA for now. Dana Holgorsen will speak with the media every day of practice and players ara available six, maybe seven times, with freshmen and first-year players not permitted to talk until the second week.

I’ve knocked out two weeks worth of story ideas, which is probably a waste of time because things change so fast and storylines develop — and disappear — just as quickly. Nevertheless, it’s done and in my notebook, but I’m always open to ideas. And now I’ll solicit them in a three-part question that serves as our preview of what’s to come:

1) What’s the story you need to read?
2) What’s the story you have no interest in reading, but know will be written?
3) What’s the unexpected player feature or theme that will take off in camp?
