More Barley House news

PD coverage with some nice things to say about Williams. He's really played well in these all-star games. His quickness appears to standout in particular, but it's also nice to hear about his ability to catch the ball downfield. I'm excited to see him in the fall. I think we may have found our punt returner for the next 4 years. This kid is going to tear apart MAC defenses. He looks like Peter Warrick when he was at FSU except he is way faster. It'll be interesting to see if he's Garret Wolfe...a little guy with the body type to take a pounding. Or Eugene Jarvis...little guy who couldn't take the pounding. I hate using this "cliche" term, but I see Williams as more of a "slash" type player as opposed to an every down back like Wolfe and Jarvis. He seems to bring a more varied skill set to the field than either of these guys. It's hard for me to see him NOT getting PT as a true FR both at punt returner and at slot receiver. He'd be a great wildcat QB as well, with the added threat of a pass every now and then out of this formation to keep the D honest.

This guy lists five possible candidates that he's heard mentioned, after a lengthy rant about how our coaching search is taking too long. Little has been found of who may be considered for Akron's next coach but these five names have been mentioned. Michigan assistant Matt Husted Ex-Notre Dame Head Coach Dave Schrage Ex-Wake Forest Rick Rembielak Wayne State Head Coach Ryan Kelley Wright State assistant Greg Lovelady Watch it end up being some random guy who spent time with our AD at Wisky or Minnesota. I thought this guy sounded familiar. He was HC at K.E.N.T. prior to Wake and, of course, had much success there. It'd be interesting to see if he'd even have any interest here.

CBS Sports Summary of Best and Worst APRs Much of this can be attributed to a coaching change, but this has to turn around in parallel with the product on the field if iCoach is to have long term success here.

And we could be "settin' a spell"

Can't wait to see the result of the OU game on September 10th. VMI, FIU & KSPU 2 pm games work pretty good. Tailgating and you are able to go out at night. G-Webb has a new coach this year. Their OT win here apparently didn't carry over very far, as their old coach was canned I see a fair number of MAC-Big South encounters. Hopefully there won't be any surprises this year, especially when the Keydets come rolling into town. A rather sobering fact from last year is that non-scholly Bobby Moe (Robert Morris) managed to defeat Big South champs Liberty in the same season as the Zips were losing at home to Big South also-ran G-Webb. That's where we were. Let's see how far we can move forward in a year. That same Liberty team beat Ball State last year. Exactly. I really should have titled this "2011 Starting Times". Here is another story focusing on the Zips.

Slow newsday

Thanks, Johnny. I'll put that shot of 'Z-tine' next to the one of Blair Gavin -- both beating LandyCakes to the ball. Hey -- Chivas plays @Houston tomorrow. I haven't seen Kofie play yet this season -- and I think he has as much potential, skill-wise and athletically as any of the Class of Twenty-Ten. Chivas plays as well or better on the road than any team in MLS. Kofi's lack of minutes early in the season has been the most surprising to me. But it does look like he's been getting more opportunities lately. I agree 100% regarding his potential. Perhaps he's having a little trouble adjusting to playing a more traditional defender role as opposed to the freelancing he was permitted to do as a Zip (the Zip D was so consistent and solid, Kofi was frequently available to make deep runs without the risk of giving up a counter).

Well, maybe.

ESPN Blog on the UA "Reunion" in LA

I know this covers all sports, but I figured it would fit here as well as anywhere. Link I thought the following quote was interesting. The 3 outsiders must be UA, EMU and K.E.N.T.?

Link Another story from the Beacon

Yet another wrap-up on the game, with not much mention of Tyrell beyond him being named MVP. There is an interesting tidbit at the end with regards to a Temple recruit. It's a perfect example of why many coaches hate these games.

There is some argument as to which vest Tressel will be wearing to work this fall. all-time classic!

Nice find, Dr Z! I think Goodman definitely sees the field this fall in some capacity. Did you notice there was also a blurb about a preferred walkon RB (Sidney Weston) ZTZ had mentioned a while back?

Thank, TexanMark! Always good to hear from you. Here is another small write-up on Goodman. I've been curious about this guy from day 1. Is there any chance he competes at QB? At first I thought "no way" and I still think it's a longshot, but stranger things have happened I suppose.

And the Zips were reasonably competetive against these guys.
