Welcome to the Underblog (Again. Some More)

Hi there.

My name is Laura Albanese.

You may remember me from such blogs as Football: Not as Cool as Gymnastics; Volleyball: Those Two Years I Went Around The Office Saying "Liberrrrrrrrro"; and Baseball: Outdoor Sports Are Deceptively Cold in April.

But with all that, it's the Underblog that holds a special place in my heart.

Me and fellow Underblogger Cody Derespina will be carrying around the proud tradition this year, with, I'm sure, plenty of help from my coworkers <coughRIGHTGUYS?cough>. So please, we've all heard the "football gets so much more play than <insert sport here.>" We want to help. Please send your gymnastics, swimming, tennis, whatever suggestions/rants/ideas/whatever to laura.albanese@newsday.com or cody.derespina@newsday.com. We blog because we love. We also love cool stuff and are geeks at heart, so please feel free to submit pictures of your tennis racket-shaped team championship cake (the bowling one last year was so. cool.) or your personally BeDazzled warm-up jackets.

I'll be coming back soon with league alignments. I know you're waiting with bated breath.
