CARSON, Calif. Chivas USA has acquired forward Juan Agudelo in a trade with the New York Red Bulls, in exchange for Goat's defender Heath Pearce and allocation money. Agudelo, 19, a product of the Red Bulls Academy, is in his second professional season. He has appeared in 33 matches including 13 as a starter, scoring 6 goals with the Red Bulls. The Red-and-White have traded away defender Heath Pearce, who appeared in 40 games (39 starts) during his tenure with Chivas USA. Per League and team policy, details of the contract were not revealed. "I am certainly excited to have Juan Agudelo joining our team, he's a dynamic young forward who has an incredible future ahead of him. The caveat is you have to give up an asset to get an asset, so in order to get a player like Juan you have to give up a very good player like Heath," commented Chivas USA Head Coach Robin Fraser. "So we are sad to see him go but this is part of the business. I want to thank Heath for all hes done for us in his ...

State Sun Devils
Preview 2007 - Offense
2007 Arizona State Preview |
2007 ASU Defense Preview
2007 ASU Depth Chart
2006 CFN Arizona
What you
need to know:
Arizona State really wasn't Arizona State in 2006, but with ten
starters returning, there's reason to believe the offense will
rebound and score in bunches. Dennis Erickson brings a balanced
and unpredictable system that'll use multiple formations and
plenty of shotgun, yet still lean heavily on the running game.
The success of the unit hinges on the play of quarterback Rudy
Carpenter, who looked destined for stardom as a freshman before
suffering through a humbling sophomore season marked by
turnovers and lapses in confidence. His supporting cast is
headed by Ryan Torain, one of the nation's best backs that no
one outside the Pac-10 has seen. With six seasoned linemen
back, he's destined to become the first Sun Devil in over 30
years to go for more than 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons.
Although Carpenter's receivers did nothing to help him out of
his slump in 2006, they're now awash with the kind of speed and
playmaking potential that's customary in Tempe.
Passing: Rudy Carpenter
156-228, 2,273 yds, 17 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Keegan Herring
158 carries, 870 yds, 6 TD
Receiving: Rudy Burgess
59 catches, 655 yds, 4 TD
Star of the
Senior RB Ryan Torain
Player that has to step up and become a star: Junior QB
Rudy Carpenter
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore WRs Brandon Smith and
Kyle Williams
Best pro prospect: Torain
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Torain 2) C Mike
Pollak 3) LT Brandon Rodd
Strength of the offense: The running backs, line
Weakness of the offense: Pass protection, turnovers
Projected Starter: In 2005, junior Rudy
Carpenter led the country in passing efficiency. In 2006,
he was among the nation's leaders in unfulfilled expectations.
To the untrained eye, Carpenter's 23 touchdown passes and 2,523
passing yards were respectable by most standards, but told only
part of the story. Compared to two years ago, his completion
percentage and passing efficiency plummeted, his interceptions
soared and his confidence nosedived. Carpenter was a completely
different quarterback, yet it wasn't entirely his fault. He
broke bones in both of his hands at points during the season and
was saddled with one of the Pac-10's most anemic collections of
receivers. Although both situations will be improved in 2007,
will it be enough to get Carpenter back to those days when he
was an overnight freshman sensation? He'll have to if the Sun
Devils are going to shake the perennial "underachiever" label.
Projected Top Reserves: Sophomore Danny
Sullivan was supposed to redshirt in 2006 before all hell
broke loose and Sam Keller transferred out of Tempe. The good
news is that last year's baptism under fire means he's far
better prepared to be the No. 2 guy this year. At 6-4 and 236
pounds, he's got the strong arm and pocket presence to be the
second coming of Andrew Walter once he gets on the field.
True freshmen Samson Szakacsy and Chasen Stangel
are a couple of gems that'll compete for the No. 3 job and a
real early lead to replace Carpenter after he graduates.
Watch Out For… Carpenter to rebound swiftly from
last season's sophomore slump. A gifted passer that throws a
sweet long ball, he'll benefit from Dennis Erickson's presence,
the absence of a quarterback controversy and a more mature
receiving corps.
Strength: Carpenter. It's an odd choice after he
was so wildly inconsistent in 2006, but Carpenter still has the
potential to be one of the league's most dangerous and prolific
passers. Erickson and his staff are going to make darn sure he
realizes that potential this fall.
Weakness: Consistency. Few quarterbacks did a
more pronounced about-face last year than Carpenter, who played
timid at times, made a ton of bad reads, and went six
consecutive games with less than 200 yards passing. While he's
probable to bounce back, it's still hard to suggest that with
complete conviction.
Outlook: Much like Dennis Dixon up in Eugene, just
how far Arizona State goes in 2007 will hinge heavily on
Carpenter playing like he did two years ago. From the new staff
to the improved play of the receivers in the spring, all signs
point to more big plays and fewer turnovers for the junior.
Rating: 8
Running Backs
Projected Starter: Arizona State struck gold last
year with senior Ryan Torain, a modestly recruited back
out of Butler (Kan.) Community College. Despite not starting
the first five games of 2006, he ran for 1,229 yards,
eighth-best in school history, caught 18 passes and scored ten
touchdowns. In a disappointing season for the offense, the 6-1,
213-pound Torain was the one shining light, running with power
and determination inside and a good burst once he got outside
the tackles. Suddenly, one of the afterthoughts from the Sun
Devil class of 2006 is the focal point of the offense and one of
the nation's premier runners entering the upcoming season.
Projected Top Reserves: The presence of junior
Keegan Herring gives the Sun Devils one of the best one-two
punches in the Pac-10, if not the entire country. While Torain
is big and physical, Herring gives the offense a change-of-pace
and a long ball threat whenever he gets a hint of daylight. The
5-10, 186-pounder ran for 549 yards in 2006, and has averaged at
least 5.5 yards a carry in each of his two seasons in Tempe.
Not far behind Herring is sophomore Dmitri Nance, a
compact, powerful runner that debuted with 229 yards and three
scores on 56 carries in his true freshman season. At 5-10 and
204 pounds, he's always moving forward and surging for more
yards, making him a natural around the goal line and in short
Watch Out For… junior Shaun DeWitty. He
missed all of spring with back problems, but a healthy DeWitty
would make a deep backfield even more crowded in 2007. The star
of spring last year, he's a 6-2, 217-pounder with soft hands and
the best pass blocking skills among the backs.
Strength: Depth. The emergence of Nance, who ran like a
young Emmitt Smith in April, gives the Sun Devils three quality
backs capable of carrying the load on a given Saturday. If
DeWitty is 100% by September, Dennis Erickson will struggle to
keep all of his backs well fed this fall.
Weakness: Pass catching. It's not as if the Sun
Devil backs can't catch, but rather they don't get used quite
enough in the passing game. That should change under Dennis
Erickson, particularly if quarterback Rudy Carpenter hits a
rough patch with his accuracy again this season.
Outlook: With Torain resembling a longshot Heisman
contender and three quality backs behind him, the potential
exists for this 2007 group of runners to be one of the best ever
assembled at pass-happy Arizona State.
Rating: 8.5
Projected Starters: The receivers were
uncharacteristically feeble last season, but this is Arizona
State, so don't expect the lack of production to last. All of
last year's freshmen and sophomores are now sophomores and
juniors, which will make for more reliable targets for
quarterback Rudy Carpenter. One of the Sun Devils' most
versatile athletes, senior Rudy Burgess, is returning to
the slot after moonlighting at cornerback in 2006. A 5-10,
188-pound jackrabbit in the open field, he's the only player in
the Pac-10 with 1,000 career yards rushing and receiving.
Burgess can fly, and is the team's one receiver that makes
people miss, which will prompt the new staff to concoct ways to
get him the ball.
After scratching the surface of his potential with 20 catches
and three touchdowns in 2006, junior Michael Jones is
ready to explode from the outside X spot. An imposing target at
6-4 and 208 pounds, he has good speed and the athletic ability
to make acrobatic grabs above overmatched defensive backs.
At the Z spot will be sophomore Chris McGaha, who
parlayed 16 catches for 238 yards and three touchdowns into a
spot on the Pac-10 All-Freshman team in 2006. A reliable
receiver on the short and intermediate routes, he also has the
straight line speed to get behind unsuspecting secondaries.
Following in the huge footsteps of All-American tight end Zach
Miller will be his older brother Brent Miller. The
senior and three-time letterwinner doesn't lack for experience,
being the only Sun Devil to play all 37 games over the last
three years. Although he doesn't have his brother's skill set,
at 6-5 and 237 pounds, he's an improving run blocker and a
sure-handed downfield receiver that should surpass his career
total of 21 catches in 2007.
Projected Top Reserves: If the spring is a fair
indicator, the second unit will be loaded with young playmakers
this fall. Sophomore Kyle Williams will back up Burgess
in the slot, where he can use his quickness and good wheels to
create big yards after the catch. While only 5-10 and 185
pounds, he's really hit the weights in the off-season in
anticipation of increased playing time.
Behind Jones at the X will be another sophomore, Brandon
Smith, who also turned the corner in April. A 6-2,
200-pound sprinter, he gives the offense another vertical option
that can stretch defenses and soften them up for the underneath
route runners. Purely in terms of measurables and athletic
ability, Smith is one of the bar-setters on the squad.
Junior Nate Kimbrough was beginning to heat up as a
playmaker last season before an injury curtailed his season in
week nine. Long and lean at 6-1 and 189 pounds, he caught 15
balls for 235 yards and a score in 2006, and figures to push
McGaha all season for the starting flanker job.
Miller's caddy at tight end will be Dane Guthrie, a
former transfer from Florida who earned his first Sun Devil
letter last season. At 6-3 and 267 pounds, he's an outstanding
drive blocker and the player the staff will turn to on short
Watch Out For… redshirt freshman Rodney Glass.
In this deep group, Glass may only catch ten passes in 2007, but
don't be shocked if they go for 350 yards and a couple of
scores. A converted tailback and member of the ASU track team,
he's got world class speed and an exciting upside once he
becomes a more polished receiver.
Strength: Depth. Contrary to last season, the Sun
Devil receivers are quickly becoming a talented bunch that goes
two-deep with athletic gazelles that can break a game open with
their speed.
Weakness: Lack of a proven No. 1. The one thing
missing from this year's pass catchers is a Shaun McDonald or
Derek Hagan, that true go-to receiver that quarterbacks can
count on and opposing defenses must always respect.
Outlook: After hitting bottom by Sun Devil
standards in 2006, the receivers will be on the rebound this
season. While Burgess will have a big season from the slot,
it's incumbent on Jones or Smith to emerge as a bona fide
homerun hitter on the outside.
Rating: 7
Offensive Line
Projected Starters: With six starters returning,
the veteran Sun Devils have no excuses for not being one of the
Pac-10's more effective lines in 2007. The leader of the group
will once again be senior center Mike Pollak, a second
team All-Pac-10 selection last fall. One of the team captains
for the upcoming season, he's a tough, physical competitor,
especially on running downs, and one of the heady leaders of the
With senior Zach Krula earning another year of
eligibility, Arizona State boasts a terrific tandem of
experienced tackles for the season ahead. On his way to
becoming a dominant lineman, he suffered a devastating ankle
injury that cost him most of 2005 and all of 2006. When
healthy, Krula's an athletic 6-7, 320-pounder that's making the
switch this year from guard to right tackle.
On the other side will be senior Brandon Rodd, a
third-year starter who has earned honorable mention all-league
honors in each of his first two years. One of the most
versatile and flexible members of the front wall, he needs to
become a rock at protecting Rudy Carpenter's blindside in 2007.
For the second straight year, the Sun Devil guards will be
senior Robert Gustavis and junior Paul Fanaika on
the left and right side, respectively. The 6-3, 303-pound
Gustavis has played in 25 games during his career, starting 15
and earning a letter in each of his three seasons in Tempe.
Fanaika has worked his way into the lineup after arriving as a
walk-on. A mountain of a man at 6-6 and 360 pounds, he helped
clear a path for the resurgent running game in 2006, earning
honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors for his efforts.
Projected Top Reserves: The offense's most
experienced reserve tackle is Julius Orieuwku, a
seven-game starter in 2006 after injuries struck the position.
At 6-7 and 317 pounds, he has the long arms to wall off pass
rushers and the heft to create holes in the running game.
Sophomore Richard Tuit'u was forced into action
unexpectedly last season, earning a letter and a start as a
freshman. Another behemoth at 6-4 and 350 pounds, he's
literally a big part of the future along the line at Arizona
Providing depth at guard will be sophomore Shaun Lauvao,
who also saw substantial playing time as a freshman and enjoyed
a terrific spring session. One of the group's emotional
leaders, he could challenge for a starting spot in August.
Watch Out For… the line to excel in run blocking
once again this season. The Hell Hogs are a nasty, physical
group that revels in dominating at the point of attack and
opening holes for the offense's stable of quality backs.
Strength: Experience. With Krula's return,
Arizona State's top six linemen are all upperclassmen with 16
letters and a ton of starts between them. Although the staff is
new, there's nothing this unit hasn't seen or experienced over
the last five years.
Weakness: Pass protection. Yeah, the offense
typically throws lots of passes and the Sun Devil quarterbacks
aren't fleet of foot, but there's no excuse for allowing 73
sacks over the last two seasons. For the offense to click in
2007, the line has to do a much better job in this area.
Outlook: Assuming it doesn't have to dig too deep
into the depth chart, Arizona State has all of the pieces of a
line that'll dominate on running downs. Whether the Sun Devils
can be mentioned as the next best thing to USC in the Pac-10
depends on their ability to keep Carpenter upright.

Rider Lady Raiders rout Boswell twice
Donnell, Sissel throw matching 2-hitters
BOWIE - The Rider 1-2 punch of Abby Donnell and Ashley Sissel made quick work of Boswell in a Region I-4A Bi-District softball sweep Friday at Bowie High School's beautiful new facility.
Donnell didn't win Game 1 by herself but she did just about everything one softball player could do with 13 strikeouts in five innings in the circle, and a game-ending two-run triple to give the Lady Raiders a 10-0 victory in Game 1.
The southpaw Sissel matched her right-handed teammate with a two-hitter in Game 2. Rider scored seven runs in the fifth inning to put a cap on the 12-0 shutout.
The No. 17 Lady Raiders (28-4-1) expect to see No. 7 Burleson Centennial in the Area round next week. Centennial is playing Granbury in bi-district, a series that wraps up today.
Donnell (13-1) allowed just two singles, a grounder through the left side in the first and an infield hit to second in the fifth. Tayalor Trantham, Boswell's leadoff batter, walked three times but Donnell didn't issue any other free passes.
A bunt and a comebacker to Donnell were the only two outs not recorded by strikeout. The senior right-hander has 177 strikeouts in 84 2/3 innings.
Katy Hill was perfect at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a triple to left; line single to center; and a triple to right-center field. She scored the first run of the game in a three-run second and started the four-run fifth that ended it.
Sissel (15-3) was struck out 10 in her Game 2 gem. She faced just 18 hitters, allowing two harmless singles and two walks.
Catcher Stacey Fosnaugh had a brilliant Game 2, throwing out a runner on a steal attempt and making a nice play at the plate. And offensively Fosnaugh got going with three hits and three RBIs.
Hill had two more RBIs in the nightcap to increase her team-leading total to 34.

| 2009 WMU Offense
2009 WMU Defense
Depth Chart
2008 WMU Preview
2007 WMU Preview
2006 WMU Preview
What you need to know: The entire
defense returned last year and the results weren't anything
special. The Broncos were mediocre overall, but they were great
at getting into the backfield. That'll be the case again with a
good linebacking corps that'll do a little of everything right
and a front four that can get make big plays. There isn't much
size in the front seven, but that's hardly the biggest issue.
The secondary struggled last year with four great starters
returning, and now they all have to be replaced. Miami transfer
Doug Wiggins will be a good new safety leading a secondary that
won't be as bad as it might appear.
Tackles: Austin Pritchard, 86
Sacks: Justin Braska, 6
Interceptions: Several at 1
Star of
the defense: Senior
LB Austin PritchardPlayer who has to step up and become a
star: Sophomore CB Josh PriceUnsung star on the rise:
Junior FS Doug WigginsBest pro prospect:
PritchardTop three all-star candidates: 1) Pritchard,
2) LB Mitch Zajac, 3) S Mario ArmstrongStrength of the
defense: Quickness, plays in the backfieldWeakness of
the defense: Experienced defensive backs, size in the front
Defensive Line
Projected Starters:
Gone is the star of the
defensive front, Nick Varcadipane at defensive tackle. Getting
the first shot to take over is
Drew Nowak, a 6-4,
250-pound undersized option who should be great at getting into
the backfield. Needing to be part of a rotation because of his
size, he made 11 tackles as a freshman to do along with a sack
with two tackles for loss. He's a pure pass rusher who needs to
be camped out in opposing backfields to be a factor for the
front. Next to him will be senior
Cody Cielenski, a
regular along the line who started the final five games of the
year finishing with 36 tackles, four sacks and ten tackles for
loss. At 6-2 and 280 pounds, he's one of the team's biggest
linemen and will have to hold down the fort on the nose. He
might be one of the team's most valuable players; the line can't
afford to use his bulk.Part of the mix on the right side
will be redshirt freshman
Freddie Bishop, an excellent athlete who has 6-4, 247-pound
size to go along with his speed. He'll be given every shot to
grow into a pass rushing specialist.
There will be a
rotation of players on the right side with 6-4, 245-pound
sophomore Weston Peiffer
getting the first look. He got the start against Eastern
Michigan and saw time in eight games as a true freshman, but he
only made one tackle with a sack. With his quickness, he has the
potential to grow into a top pass rusher.
Projected Top Reserves:
Justin Braska was a
nice reserve who started over the second half of the season in
place of Greg Marshall. The 6-4, 234-pounder was one of the
team's best all-around defenders with 52 tackles and a
team-leading six tackles and ten tackles for loss. With a
non-stop motor and good want-to when it comes to getting to the
quarterback, he has the potential to be a statistical star once
again.Looking to take over an end job right away is
T.J. Lynch, a 6-3, 238-pound JUCO transfer who's a pure pass rusher
who was a tackling machine in high school. Extremely active, he
has to be the all-around playmaker the defensive line will be
missing on the other side of Braska.Adding a little bit
of experience to the inside is
Chris Pyant, a 6-3, 269-pound tackle who saw time in six games and
made two stops. Very quick with good strength, he handles
himself well on the nose for his size.
Bringing more bulk is 6-0, 275-pound redshirt
freshman Ryan Byrne, a bowling ball of a defender who was a strong high
school wrestler and a good interior pass rusher in high school.
He's a strong all-around athlete who can do a little of
everything well, and now he'll have to show it all off playing
behind Drew Nowak at tackle.Watch Out For
... a major rotation. Size is a problem and experience is a big
issue. It'll take time before the undeveloped backups are ready
for prime time, while the starters will need help, too.
Strength: Quickness. The Broncos have athleticism and
pass rushers at all four spots. The line should be able to get
into the backfield from inside and out.Weakness:
Depth. There's nothing to count on behind the starters,
while the front four also needs work. This is a very, very
young, inexperienced group that'll be great next year, but there
will be some growing pains.Outlook: The
defensive front was a bit of a disappointment last year with so
much talent and experience returning, but there won't be the
same expectations for this year's group. Justin Braska is a
fantastic pass rusher, but he needs help as the line needs to
find a few all-around playmakers who can stop the run as well as
get into the backfield. The tackles will get behind the line,
but there will be major problems against power running teas. If
Cody Ceilenski goes down, there won't be any size whatsoever.
Rating: 5
Projected Starters:
Austin Pritchard was
supposed to be a star two years ago, but he hurt his knee and
was out for the season. He came back healthy and was an
all-star, settling in at the weakside spot over the second half
of the season finishing with 86 tackles, two sacks, and 12.5
tackles for loss. This year, the 6-4, 233-pound senior will
bring his tremendous speed and athleticism to the strongside,
where he started four times last season.Back again in
the middle is Mitch Zajac,
a 6-1, 220-pound senior who started in the middle over the final
five games of last year and finished with 29 tackles and 1.5
tackles for loss. He's not all that big, but he's tough, mobile,
and decent in pass coverage. Now that he knows what he's doing,
he should be a statistical star. 6-4, 220-pound redshirt
freshman Chris Prom
spent last year as a star scout teamer and now will be the main
man on the weakside. A top tight end recruit, he's a phenomenal
athlete who can jump out of the stadium and be a key pass rusher
in certain situations.Projected Top Reserves:
Waymon Ross will
turn into the team's main backup at outside linebacker on both
sides after spending last year on the scout team. The 6-1,
225-pound redshirt freshman is a fantastic tackler and should
eventually blossom into a strong pass rusher. 6-0,
215-pound sophomore Matt Pickens was a good recruit for
the program and has the speed and range to grow into one of the
team's top producers, but he hasn't shown it off yet. After
making just four tackles two years ago, he saw a little bit of
time last season and didn't do much of anything. He'll combine
with 240-pound redshirt freshman
Deauntay Legner and
5-10, 230-pound redshirt freshman
Joe Smith in the middle to back up Zajac.6-0, 220-pound
junior Harrison Porter
got a few starts on the outside over the first half of the
season but he only saw time in eight games. Injuries have kept
him from becoming a regular contributor, but he was still able
to come up with 21 tackles, a sack, 2.5 tackles for loss and an
interception. Now he'll be the try to come back to be the main
man on the weakside.Watch Out For ...
Ross. He'll work with 6-3, 210-pound
Doug Scott, a
promising redshirt freshman who has the wheels to grow into a
situational pass rusher. The Broncos need quality reserve
linebackers, and Ross will be counted on to do big things early
on with Scott not far behind.Strength: Speed
and quickness. Size is sacrificed for speed, and while this
group will have problems with tough running teams, it's great at
getting to the ball and making plays behind the line. All three
players can swarm.Weakness: Proven backups.
This was an issue last year, and the team turned out to do just
fine with a lot of 4-2-5 alignments when needed. There are some
promising athletic players like Ross and Scott to get excited
about, but they haven't done anything yet. Injuries to the
starting three would be disastrous.Outlook:
The Broncos are still in a bit of a rebuilding mode at
linebacker after the tremendous corps of a few years ago that
blew threw everything in its path, but this group has the
potential to be excellent. Austin Pritchard is a terror on the
outside, while Mitch Zajac is emerging as a star in the middle.
Now there has to be more big plays, more takeaways, and more
stops into the backfield. Last year was about everyone getting
their feet wet. This year is about producing.Rating:
Defensive Backs
Projected Starters: Three starters are gone
off last year's underachieving secondary, but they'll all be
missed. The biggest hole is at free safety where Louis Delmas is
off to be an NFL star after leading the team with 111 tackles
and four interceptions.
Doug Wiggins might not be Delmas, but he could be really,
really good. The 6-0, 180-pound junior transfer from Miami has
next-level speed and big-time upside. He was a tremendous
recruit for the Hurricanes two years ago, but he didn't fit.
The other big hole is at one corner spot with Londen Fryar
gone. While he hasn't seen a lot of time, 6-0, 194-pound
Andy Dorcely is the
only senior in the secondary and he has been a backup for the
last few years. Able to play corner or free safety, the
speedster was a good high school receiver who made four tackles
in a limited role after making eight stops in 2007.
Working at the other corner spot in place of E.J. Biggers is
David Lewis, a 5-10,
170-pound sophomore who made two tackles in a limited time; he
missed most of the year with a broken arm. While he's not all
that big, he has tremendous speed and the potential to be used
as a kick and punt returner if needed.
Mario Armstrong is
back after being a spot starter at strong safety and finishing
with 64 tackles with an interception and three broken up passes.
The 6-0, 188-pound junior has been a key part of the secondary
for the last two years and has shown flashes of being the team's
next-big-thing safety with speed and nice hitting ability. He
could play either safety spot or be used in a nickel role.
Projected Top Reserves: Junior
Jamail Berry will be used from time to time at free safety if Doug
Wiggins isn't quite ready. He only made 11 tackles, but the
former JUCO transfer is versatile enough to play either safety
spot and he's a good open field tackler.The new star of
the show should eventually be
Josh Price, a nice hitting 6-0, 195-pound sophomore who made 18
tackles and a sack in a backup role. One of the team's fastest
players, he can be used as a corner or be used at either safety
spot if needed.With help desperately needed for the
secondary, receiver Deshon Lawrence will move over to corner to play behind Josh Price.
Extremely fast, the 6-0, 175-pound sophomore will be on the
field in a variety of ways in nickel and dime packages.
Watch Out For ... Wiggins. He comes in with plenty
of hype and a lot of potential, and WMU might be in big trouble
if he's not the real deal. The secondary needs him to be a major
league producer from day one.Strength:
Hitters. All Western Michigan defensive backs are able to pop.
Sometimes that's been a problem, going for the big hit over the
routine, but there aren't going to be many misses.
Weakness: Veterans. A strength going into last year, now
there are just two lettermen returning and no starters. There
will be some growing pains to go through, but the production
can't be too much worse than it was last year. Outlook:
A disappointment last year, finishing 12th in the
MAC and 102nd in the nation even with all four
starters returning, nothing will be expected out of this year's
secondary. Doug Wiggins, a transfer from Miami, is needed to
take over the role as the team's top safety with Louis Delmas
gone, but the real star will likely be Mario Armstrong, who
should be among the team's top tacklers. There need to be more
interceptions and more third down stops after struggling against
anyone who could throw.Rating: 5
Special Teams
Projected Starters: Sophomore
John Potter came up with a nice year hitting 11-of-16 field goals,
but he didn't show off his big leg. He missed both his attempts
from beyond 50 yards with his longest kick coming from 45 yards
out. He'll be fine with more time and more experience.
Sophomore Ben Armer
struggled in his first year even though he averaged 40.6 yards
per kick. The coverage teams didn't give him a lot of help, but
he didn't do enough to air it out; he needs more hang time after
only forcing two fair catches.Running backs Brandon
West and Aaron
Winchester are solid kickoff returners with West averaging
22.8 yards per try and Winchester averaging 23.5 yards per
return. Miami transfer
Doug Wiggins is getting the first shot at replacing
Schneider Julien as the team's top punt returner. It won't be
tough with Julien averaging just 6.2 yards per try.
Watch Out For
... the special teams to be better. After struggling through two
freshmen kickers and a mediocre punt return game, there should
be far more production all across the board.Strength:
Kickoff returns. West is a veteran who has been steady for
the last two years, while Winchester provided even more pop last
year.Weakness: Punt coverage. This will likely
improve as Arner starts hanging up his kicks a bit more, but the
Broncos can't allow 13.3 yards per return.Outlook:
The numbers weren't there last year and there wasn't much to
get excited about other than the kickoff return game and the
emergence of John Potter as a decent placekicker. With almost
everyone returning, and Doug Wiggins coming in as the new punt
returner, the special teams could quietly be one of the team's
biggest areas of improvement.Rating: 6.5

The cause of an explosion that rocked an Iranian city that houses a key nuclear facility remains unclear.
Monday's explosion in Isfahan reportedly caused windows to shake throughout the city.
The local government told news agencies that the explosion was part of a military drill. Some news agencies said the explosion came from a gas depot.
The Isfahan uranium conversion plant is supervised and frequently visited by the United Nation's nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Earlier this month, an explosion at an Iranian ammunition depot killed Gen. Hasan Moghaddam and 16 other Revolutionary Guard members. Israel's Mossad intelligency agency was suspected in that blast.

Re: Buffy season nine discussion thread
Is no one reading this any more? Just finished reading issue ten and wow. I think I'm a little bit confused finally. I thought they were going to be more grounded than last season and we've seen bits and pieces of that, but this arc was complex as almost anything from last year even Twilight was not as complicated as this was. I guess they're still continuing to leave Spike and Buffy up in the air, which kind of disappoints me. Nice to see though things resolved and Buffy back to her old self. Wonder what the message from Kennedy was about? Maybe about Willow visiting Faith and Angel?

So, I wonder if the Island (and the other, err, "places") somehow stay "in place" while everything moves around them? The Earth spins and orbits the Sun, the Solar System spins around the Milky Way, the universe expands...but the Island is immobile and eternal.
I would like that.
No expert in physics but wouldn't that mean that the Island would end up in space if it stayed in it's own spot while everything else moved, either that or I'm not fully undserstanding what you mean?
My question, was there any significance with the number of seats Hurley had bought to prevent other passengers from getting them. At first I thought 78 was somehow related to the original victims of 815 but that was over 300, but didn't the 815 survivors total in the 70's region, mid section and tail combined?

far as needing God to help us get through tough situations? Why is it bad for one person to state that they feel we all need God to help the troops through deployment? Shouldn't we be happy to hear that our troops/family are in peoples prayers everyday? Why shouldn't we be happy about that? All opinions are definately welcome here!
Brought up in recent debate! What do you all think as
Mommy to Shayla (11-20-07)

I agree but that is because I am a religious person. Some people do not have religion and I do respect them for their beliefs as I hope they respect me for mine.
From what I have learned is that alot of non religiouss people send positive thoughts to the troops which is just as good.
I say whatever brings these men and woman home safely go for it. If it's God then let it be. If it's what makes someone feel better then more power. If I had a loved one over there fighting I'd be happy to hear of other people praying for their safe return.

I can respect someone's feelings on that if they are not religious. I certainly would not go up to them and tell them I will pray for you,lol. Sure would piss some people off.
Your awesomeness astounds me
I'm not a religious person. I'm a Deist (I guess) because I believe in a higher power but I don't choose to have specific dogma or doctrine.
But hey, I don't care who prays on my behalf. Black white Christian Pagan, I don't care. Be my guest. Think good thoughts. Pray. Meditate. Send positive energy. Just do if FOR me, not AT me, KWIM?

"A miracle is magic when God does it for you" ~Abby, at just short of 8 years old
I don't think it's bad so to speak but I think it can become a cop out for really doing anything. When my husband was deployed I'd often get people tell me that they're praying for us. While it's a nice gesture I would've rather these people sent my husband a care package or took care of my kids so I could go to a military family support group. We got a whole lot of prayers but no real support. I see that happen with a lot of issues and it really pisses me off.
I'm currently working on a project and when I ask people for help I'm met quite often with, "I won't help you but I'll pray for you." It's so freaking pathetic.
I think prayer has become an excuse to do nothing. I think prayer is wonderful but prayer without action is useless.

I don't see anything wrong with it because I am a Christian. I respect people and what they believe. I work for my church at this time but when I worked in other places and I knew people who were not religious I would never approach them about religion unless they asked me. If they told me of certain tragedies I would pray for them without them knowing. I believe in loving people. In my personal opinion you could draw people by your love for them. I do have a problem with people who ask you questions and don't want to hear your response, because one you ask me be ready for the response..
The most violent element in society is ignorance
~Emma Goldman~
I think it's great that the religious among us are so willing and happy to include others in their daily devotions. No one's making anyone "pray along".
Personally, I don't pray, but I do meditate and reflect. This is where I think about the people around me who are in need of support.
As for "prayer request" threads, I simply determine prayer to be the posters chosen form of reflection, but in no way think they expect me to fall on my knees. They're looking for support. Prayer is just their method.
I think each person has different beliefs, so therefore each person has a different crutch to rely on. I don't think there is anything wrong with praying for somebody if that's what their religion dictates. Just like I think there is nothing wrong with me not praying for troops, but wishing them the best and supporting them, because I don't rely on a higher power. Everyone has their support system. Some people have their faith, others have tangible things they turn to. I don't need God to get through anything, I've been through the death of a child and lots of other hardships and gotten through it without leaning on a higher power. But it's because my belief system is set up differently from someone who has some kind of faith.
I think prayer is wonderful but prayer without action is useless.
Reminds me of a story about a woman that my priest told us several weeks ago. Every day this woman gave a homeless man something to eat. Every night when she said her prayers, she asked God why he didn't do something to help that man. One night God answered, "I have. I gave him you."
Obviously not a true story, but still thought provoking.

This is not an entry to the contest, per se, it is a narrative created soley to defend my honor and good name as a Hack. I have been accused of being 'short' with my story, and my reputation for pomposity and long-winded-ness-es has been called into question. As a Gentlemen and a Drop-Out, I have no choice in the matter. Thus you are all plagued with the next chapter in the continuing story of Roc. I apologise...

The Tale of Roc II: THE CONTINUE
(A Horus! A Horus! My Kingdom for a Horus!)
Roc had learned his lesson and he decided one of the first things he was gonna do was get the names of The Gods straight because, along with the lightning, that conical fire crap sucked! It turned out Isis actually felt bad for lighting him on fire, but what was a Goddess to do? A noob's gotta know his place! She let him off with a warning and a magic scorpion in exchange for his signature on a liability waiver and a release form so that They could show Roc's clip on Egypt's Funniest Gods during sweeps week. ( - This is where Roc's agent got involved, holding up production for three days, while behind closed doors The Gods and Roc's manager hammered out a deal. Roc signed a Standard Actor's Agreement allowing him to get scale for his stunts and dialogue. Since the fire stunt was already filmed, Roc accepted a lamb and some cabbages in lieu of medical treatment...)
And so Roc limped across the desert of Egypt, his burns from the holy fires tormenting him under a merciless sun. He held his cabbages close and allowed the lamb to wander at his heels. And then it was night. And in the night Roc felt that he could go no further, stumbling and lurching from fatigue, hunger, and physical deresolution of the most religious kind. He collapsed face-down upon the ground, his cabbages dribbling from his arms, his exhausted form stretched out across the pathway. Roc blacked out just as the lamb was curling up in the middle of his back.
And while Roc slept an entire subplot unfolded beside his unconscious frame:
KV5 Pictures presents! A Ramses The Great production!
LINT EWEWOOD in:
We open deep inside the hardened bunker of Central Sheep Command, where a high ranking General suddenly realizes that three top-secret shipments of resources have been removed from the nation's tracking grid. Three Cabbages have gone rogue! With the nation's National Defense of the Fences Forces stretched to the limit, the CSC General had few options in this dire emergency. He pounded a deliberate hoof onto the intercom at his desk "Major Baaah-bawa?" he spat.
"Yes, General?" the intercom crackled in response.
"Get me Bwack Sheep Opouwations, NOW...!"
The lamb that The Gods had given him slept on the middle of Roc's back, but it wasn't a restful sleep. Lambo's subconscious would never let him sleep, would never let go of it. He would never get any peace from it. He lived with it, watched many die in it, and now he dreamed of it...the War.
The Wool Revolution and it's two week fight with The Helenista Garment District Resistance Army and Pick-Up Work Union had left Lambo wounded and questioning everything he had ever stood for. He tried not to question his whole life while he was awake, but when he slept...the questions came just the same. Was truth-in-product-labeling really worth dying over? Did the Tailors and Seamstresses of the high fashion world really have WMDs? Does Baa-Baa Blacksheep, indeed, have any wool...?!
...bhurpp...bhurpp... ...bhurpp...bhurpp...
The vibration of his cellphone woke Lambo up. He lazily rolled over and reached into the pocket of his woolen robe. "Yo, dis is Lambo..." he said into the phone.
"Lambo? John Lambo? This is Major Ravenweave..."
"Major Ravenweave? What da hell is Black Sheep Ops callin' me for?" The anger in John Lambo's voice was unmistakable, and deadly.
"Let's not kid ourselves, soldier. You knew this call would come, someday. We need you, John...your country needs you..."
Lambo glared at his phone in stunned disbelief. "No! I mean, why you callin' now? Can't you call after nine? When my minutes are free?! I'm roaming, fer cryin' out loud!"
"Relax, John. The Government will underwrite any of your costs during this mission, you'll get your minutes back."
"Oh yeah,' Lambo snorted, ' - you mean like the Government paid me for infiltrating the Garment District's offices and singlehoofedly destroying the entire Dacron scheme? A bag of oats and some lanolin is all I got for my trouble...big deal."
"That's not fair, John.', the Major sounded hurt, 'You know our backdoor agreements with the Cotton Industry funded that entire war. You don't like the pay scale? Take it up with their Union. In the meantime, I have a dire emergency that threatens our country on my hooves and you are the only agent I have close enough to affect it. You in? Or do I have to call your mom?"
"My mom?! Dewed! You wouldn't! No, no... I'm in, Major, Im in!"
"Good. Now listen closely, Lambo - A small shipment of Red Leaf Cabbages has been intercepted somehow, and it's packing order number has disappeared from our e-Bay manifests. This may be the result of an accident of some type, in which case your mission is simple. Take over jurisdiction from local authorities of the accident scene, locate and secure the cabbages, and then get gone. We will evac you after certain recognition of the recovery of the vegetables."
"Alright. What if it isn't an innocent accident?"
"You are cleared to use whatever deadly force and prejudice you need to secure the shipment. I don't need to tell you how delicate the balance of power is right now, these are just the kind of cabbages the enemy needs. One tip in the wrong direction and we could lose the whole shootin' match. If we don't keep our thumb firmly on evolution, another animal entirely could become 'Man's Best Friend', just look at the headway of the Feline Federation! Mummified with their Masters! We have to fight to keep a Sheep in every Egyptian's home, mister. If we don't stop them now, at every turn, it's pens and pastures for our grandkids, John... Our intelligence indicates that it might be the Insects this time, and you know personally how strong the Bugs are, you met plenty of them during the War..." Ravenweave's voice trailed to a stop.
The Helenista Garment District Resistance Army and the Pick-Up Work Union, or the HGDRAPUWU's Underground Moth Troopers... Yeah, Lambo had met plenty of them during the War, alright. Most of them got one look at John Lambo and died. "Great. Fightin' the Bugs again..." Lambo sighed.
"I also don't need to tell you how far the balance would swing if the Bugs get ahold of those vegetables... The results could be fatal! We could be looking at Baaah-megeddon!', Ravenweave stopped and took a breath, 'So I'm asking you to fight for us one last time, John."
"Don't worry Major, no one is makin' coleslaw on my watch!"
Three sentries lay in cover and watched the cabbages that sat on the ground in a jumble around Roc's prone form. Two Egyptian Chic-a-Dees huddled under a bush, while a few yards away a deadly miller moth lay beneath a rock in wait, never taking his eyes off of his target.
The two Chic-a-Dees weren't really watching the cabbages, they were arguing. Mostly they were arguing about their ninja suits. "I'm takin' it off...", Lenny, the tall, dour one said.
"No, you ain't! We're on a mission!" Stevie, the short, excitable one snapped back.
"Yeah, Stevie, I am. I'm tired of being a little black dot on the sand. I can't fly in this get-up. I got sand up my crotch, and I'm sick of these sandals..."
Stevie cut him off. "DON'T CALL ME STEVIE! Call-me-by-my-NINJA-name! I am, OMYGOSHI...!"
"Whatever!', Lenny said, 'I'm leaving - I wanna migrate! There are a thousand little beach birdies all along the coast, all of 'em wanting to make eggs. And yah know what, 'Oymi-Goymi'? I'M DOWN WIT' DAT...!"
Stevie stared at his friend with real fear in his eyes. "He'd never let us go." the little Chic-a-Dee Ninja said, quietly.
"Who? The Moth? You're kidding, right?" Lenny was amused.
But Stevie wasn't kidding, not at all. "No, Lenny, I'm not kidding, not at all. He's ex-HGDRAPUWU Special Forces! A Helenista! He was a freakin' Moth Trooper! He's killed more guys than you or I have ever pooped on, Lenny. He ain't gonna let us go nowhere..."
"I ain't gonna ask his permission to leave.' Lenny snorted, 'I'm a bird? He's a bug? I'll just eat him."
Stevie seemed shocked at the thought, but he had no time to answer Lenny because The Moth had moved from his hiding place behind the rock and towards Roc, the path, and the cabbages...and John Lambo.
"Well, looky here!', Lambo rolled off of Roc's back and swaggered up to The Moth, '...if it ain't ol' Rotten-in-the-Closet! Last time I saw you, you was pickin' mothballs outta your butt in Troy. Heh, heh. We cleaned your clock that day." Lambo laughed.
The Moth returned Lambo's smile, but there was no humor in his eyes. The Helenista carried a glint in his bug eyes that said crazy. Sick, deadly, crazy. "Laugh while you can, John Lambo. I have come here to kill you and take your cabbages, not to laugh and remember old times. Remembering old times is for people that I like, and I don't like you."
"Fine...', and all the false-good humor drained from Lambo's face instantly. 'But you'll have to kill me to get these cabbages."
The Helenista nodded, slowly. "That is my plan, John Lambo. I just told you, I have come here to kill you and take your cabbages."
"Yeah, well you gotta go through me first!" Lambo slammed a cute, little hoof across his own chest.
"Yes! You seem to be ignoring my point in favor of your own point which was my point in the first place, John Lambo! I-have-come-here-to-kill-you-and-take-your-cabbages! There! I have stated it as clear as it can be stated. I am going to kill you, and then I am going to take your cabbages."
Lambo steeled his jaw. "You may kill me, but you'll never get these cabbages..." The ex-RAM Commando spoke, low and mean.
"Yes, I will! Yes, I will get your cabbages if I kill you!' The Moth's voice became shrill in disbelief. 'That is why I said I would kill you first! "
"Dat is why I said I would kew you furrrst." Lambo mocked The Moth with babytalk!
"Stop that!"
"Dhop daaat..."
And so Roc woke from his palsy and stood, and lo, before him happened a great and wondrous omen. For, as he cast about himself, he spied an egyptian Chic-a-Dee as it darted forth to kill and eat a helpless miller moth at the very feet of the lamb that was given unto him by the Gods. And Roc studied the sky carefully, for he knew what the omen meant. "Damn, no rain for a while, I guess..." he said.
Roc gathered his cabbages and his lamb unto himself and he hit the road. He traveled urgently, for Roc now had a purpose. The lesson from the omen of the Chic-a-Dee and the Moth was two-fold, there was a deeper mystery within and Roc had just enough intelligence to fathom the sign and it's secrets. He had watched the little bird eat the moth in one, swift jab, and as he watched, Roc's hunger had welled up inside of him and The Gods had whispered in his ear: "Learn to cook! Then we can have lambchops and stewed cabbage...!"
And so Roc hurried along to find his destiny, and a stewpot...

Congress elects California Rep. Kevin McCarthy as new House Majority Leader
McCarthy became whip more than three years ago.
Republican leadership elections scheduled for Thursday
Rep. Kevin McCarthy seems likely to inherit defeated Rep. Eric Cantor's No. 2 House Republican leadership job, but GOP restiveness along ideological and regional lines is on full display in a wide-open race for the party's next-ranking post of majority whip.

Wash the potatoes and steam until tender.
Spear them with a carving fork and peel.
Push them through a potato ricer while still hot; repeat the ric ing operation, then push them through a fine sieve into a large mixing bowl.
This makes them easy to prepare.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat the milk together with 1/4 cup of the butter and a little salt and freshly ground pepper until scalding.
Stir most of the milk into the sieved potato; work in the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and the finely grated rind of the lemon.
The mixture should be fairly soft; add the rest of the milk if necessary.
Stir this mixture thoroughly for 2 minutes, then add the smoked cheese, the chopped Mortadella or ham, and the basil.
Grease a cake pan about 10 in in diameter and at least 2 in deep.
Place a quarter of the mixture in the pan and press out flat into an even layer with the palm of your hand.
Spread out slices of mozzarella on the surface and cover with another quarter of the mixture.
Repeat these last two layers.
Spread the sausage slices on top.
Sprinkle a covering of breadcrumbs over the surface and dot small pieces of the remaining butter on top.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, browning under a very hot broiler for a final 5 minutes to form a crisp topping.
Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Originally written on The Football Fan Spot | Last updated 10/2/12
Last week: 14 (+0) Record: 2-2 This is the league's 2nd worst defense in terms of yards per play allowed, thanks to a pass defense that ranks tied for last allowing 9.0 YPA. Their secondary simply cannot seem to beat the injury bug, much like last year, and it's getting worse as safety Kenny Phillips is expected to be out for a few weeks after leaving last week's loss to the Eagles. He was one of the reliable players in this secondary last year, along with Corey Webster, an aging cornerback who is really struggled this year, compared to his normal self. In a loaded NFC, that could be enough to keep the Giants out of the playoffs. The 9 wins they had last year won't cut it this year and it feels like we're headed for somewhere around there.

2011 Big Ten Media Days
Press Conference Quotes
Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini
Q. Given your program's style of play, how do you feel the Big Ten is a better fit for Nebraska than the Big 12?
A: I don't know if it's about style of play or anything else. We feel like we can line up and play against anybody in the country. We're going to do our thing. We're going to play our way. Obviously you have to make some adjustments according to who you're playing in a particular week. But we feel like our style, the type of kids we recruit, the type of football team we put on the field can fit into any conference.
Is the style of play a little bit different? In some ways yes, in some ways no. Football is football. You're going to win by the basics, the fundamentals. If you're good at those things, you're going to win football games, no matter who you're playing, no matter what conference you're in.
Q. Whether it's on the field or off, what would you say are the biggest differences you've noticed between the Big Ten and the Big 12?
A: Well, ask me that a year from now, I'll have a better idea. Having not gone through the conference schedule yet, it's hard to say.
I think the leadership in this conference is tremendous. I obviously played in this conference. I grew up in Big Ten country. I have a tremendous amount of respect for everything that the Big Ten represents.
So to me it's an honor to be a part of this, to be a part of this conference. I think if you look at the tradition, academic integrity, all the things that I believe our program at the University of Nebraska stands for, I think we fit right in with this conference. Tremendous football, tremendous athletics, a tremendous commitment to academics, and doing things the right way. That's what this conference is all about. That's what it represents.
So obviously I believe Nebraska is a tremendous fit.
Q. For the Big Ten fans that aren't as familiar with the play of Taylor Martinez, tell us what makes him such a special player and what types of things you'd like to see him improve upon this fall?
A: I think Taylor has all the tools you look for. He's very fast. He's quick. He gets to top speed in a hurry. He can make all the throws. He can do really everything you ask a quarterback to do. He has good arm talent. He can throw the ball outside.
He has a long way to go in his decision making, just his knowledge of the game overall. With more experience, he's going to continue to get better.
It was interesting because last year he had such tremendous success early on that everybody wanted to jump ahead. The pressure went up in a hurry. People were talking Heisman candidate, all those things. He was two, three games into his career, which was crazy. Then he got hurt later on in the year.
But the young man is committed. He's tremendously talented. He has an opportunity to finish up his career. He has obviously three years left to play. He's going to be a tremendous player not only this year, but I think he'll continue to get better as the year goes on and throughout his career.
Just got to let him develop. That's where we are right now. He is a much more prepared quarterback right now than he was a year from now. A year earlier he was just getting started. We had no idea what we even had going into camp. Now he has a year under his belt and I think he has the opportunity to take his game to another level.
But you got to earn it on a daily basis. He has a lot of talent around him, a lot of talent pushing him. So he's going to have to be on his Ps and Qs to withstand all that competition.
Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz
Q. You mentioned how looking back to last year
a lot of the losses, all of the losses were in
one-score games. Several of your wins were actually
by much wider margins. One of the things going into
this next year is trying to figure out how to win
those real close games. What do you think you need
to do to turn that around?
A: The easy thing to do is always focus on the last two or four minutes of a game. Sometimes that's where you need to focus. I can think of a lot of examples through the years where really it gets started in the first half. You squander opportunities in the first half that might not be there in the second half. So it's really kind of complicated. A lot of things that go into winning and losing.
That's probably the message we try to send to all our players, you're never sure what play or series is going to have a big impact on the game. End of the day, that's why you need to be at your best at all times and be ready to compete at your best.

Penn State head coach Joe Paterno
Q. Joe, could you compare the way your physical condition to a year ago at this time?
A: I feel a lot better than I did a year ago. I had two tough years physically. The kid from Wisconsin running into me in the sideline, when I broke my knee that time. Then I threw my hip out showing off, trying to show the kids how to kick a football. I couldn't kick when I was healthy. I sure as hell couldn't kick with a broken knee.
But anyway...
I feel good. I'm back to doing a lot of things I used to do, walking a lot more. I've been watching what I eat. I feel good. I enjoyed this spring, have a lot more enthusiasm.
I've got an old saying that I had forgotten. They asked Marv Levy one time when he was coaching, he was a great coach, he said, How about your age?
Marv said, I don't think age is a factor. He said, I'm old enough to know my limitations and I'm young enough to know how to handle 'em.
So, anyway, I feel good. That's a long answer to a nice, simple question.
Q. Joe, with all the scandals, the number of schools on probation recent, is this one of the worst stretches in college football?
A: I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'the worst' what?
Q. The number of scandals in college football.
A: Geez, we've always had problems. You're going to have problems when you have the type of competition that's going on.
I tell a story. The old days when I first started to coach, I lived four blocks off the campus. We don't have a big house. We've been there for a long time, my wife and the kids. Well, the kids are all gone obviously. I used to get a telephone call from one of the campus cops would say, Hey, coach, you better come up here and get ahold of Mike. Too much to drink, making a lot of noise.
I'd go up at 2:00 in the morning, grab Mike, put him in bed, get him up at 5:00 in the morning, run his rear-end off for a week. You guys never heard about it.
Every once in a while I hear one of these guys that I know a little bit about when they were 19 and 20, I'm talking about all the kids today, they ought to go back and read Socrates. Socrates, 400 years BC, said, 'The kids today are terrible, tyrants. They don't pay attention.' That's 2,500 years ago, OK?
Anyway, I'm shooting my mouth off too much. Let's go.
Q. With all the coaches' changes we've seen in the Big Ten and throughout the NCAA this year, what is the secret to keeping your job in this profession for so long?
A: Well, you know, we don't have as many of you guys around as some of these other guys. That helps. We're in that little town up there in State College.
No, I don't know. I think the environment in our place may be a little bit different as far as people who have some impact on who is going to coach, who is not going to coach. I think that's had something to do with it.
We've had enough success that you can fool people that you're maybe a better coach than you really are. But I don't really know. I just get up and do my job. Somebody told me five or six years ago, talking to me about maybe I ought to quit, I didn't think I was ready to quit. I said, 'If I can't get something done here in the next couple years, I'll quit.' We got some pretty good teams in the last couple years, up till last year. Last year we weren't very good.
Michigan head coach Brady oke
Q. You have a tremendous talent in Denard Robinson. How excited are you to work with him and get him acclimated to your offense?
A: Very excited. He's done a tremendous job. I can tell you, he ran the same offense in high school, which is a plus. One of the big differences is the mechanics of taking the snap from center, the footwork, the run game, the foot patterns, the play-action game. He was ahead of the curve a little bit. I think Al Borges has done a tremendous job with him.
We are smart enough, which I would -- people usually don't say that about me -- but we're smart enough to have elements he does well from what he did in the past in the spread in our offense.
Q. What do you think it will take in the long-term sense to rebuild Michigan to the national power that it was before Rodriguez's era?
A: Well, I don't think we're rebuilding, period. I mean, we're Michigan. We've got kids who understand that they're Michigan. I don't put any stock into that.
Q. I wanted to get your thoughts on the potential possibility of playing Ohio State two consecutive weeks in the future?
A: You know, that game always needs to be played the last week in November. I mean, that's tradition. I think there's certain traditions you don't mess with. To be honest with you, if we play them two weeks in a row, we play them two weeks in a row.
You see this happen, baseball, they play the same teams back to back to back to back. Or the NFL, you have your leagues. It's usually not two weeks in a row, but it's what it is.
Q. Do you see Ohio State as being wounded right now, this is time to take advantage of the situation from a recruiting standpoint, have you done that a little bit?
A: No, I really don't. That's a tremendous program with tremendous transition, just like we have. We have 42 championships in the Big Ten. When you have schools that have that quality about them, have those legacies, I don't see anybody as wounded.
Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald
Q. As someone who has been in the Big Ten for a while, does it hurt the Big Ten as a whole, do you get any distress from seeing Ohio State go through tough times?
A: Well, I think just as a college football fan, first, before I can speak about that, you want to see young men come into our programs as coaches, as fans, so on and so forth, that are going to make great choices. When you don't make great choices at the player level, if choices aren't great at the coaching or administration level, it's disappointing. I'd say that about any organization, any family.
There's a lot that's going on right now in college football that I think we need to wrap our arms around as a complete and total body. We will. We'll make it better. There are going to need to be changes, tweaks, adjustments, to bylaws and rules, I would think so based on what we've seen in the last off-season. I don't think there's a coach or administrator in the country that doesn't want to be a part of that solution.
As we work through it, as it was alluded to earlier, the game has never been watched or supported at this level. I think we're all thankful for that. It's all on us as stewards of the game to make sure we leave it in the right spot as we move it forward, while we're in it and also as it comes after us. Hopefully we'll continue to do that in a positive vein.
QQ. You had a unique perspective to offer Dan Persa, then you have the opportunity to go forward and try to get something back your senior year. From your own personal experience, what did you try to pass on to Dan as he's trying to recover?
A: Number one, I wanted to talk to him about being patient, dealing with the rollercoaster. The first aspect is dealing with the fact that you're hurt and you can no longer play, what you're passionate about it's taken away from you. We dealt with that. Then he had to deal with the surgery, the initial rehab process of being immobilized. Kind of the steps you have to take. I'm not going to bore you with all of them.
He's doing great. Everything is going well. He's going to come back to football not in the shape maybe the last time he played. That's going to be really frustrating. How you shake the rust off, look at it from a bigger perspective, yeah, you have to take it day-to-day.
He's going to be back, it's going to be a little bit different because his body is going to operate a little bit different. He's 100 percent healed from the standpoint of the surgery, now it's about adding the strength, getting the conditioning level up, getting back to having fun. I know he's chomping at the bit to play football again.
Indiana head coach Kevin Wilson
Q. Kevin, how do you go about changing the culture of a program that's been down for so long?
A: To me, again, it's all about the future moving forward and it starts with me. I have no issues in complaining or what should have been done or why things have happened in the past. I've been fortunate to be a part of programs that have turned it around. I look around the country, see so many programs, I don't think 15, 20 years ago we thought of Oregon as we think of those guys today. We look at programs that came on so strong, Northwestern, what Coach (Gary) Barnett, Coach (Randy) Walker, Pat (Fitzgerald) have done, what Coach (Bill) Snyder has done at Kansas State.
There are so many great examples. We should do well. We should do well. We expect to do well. To me the culture changes with our performance.
I don't complain about our culture. I want our fans to be excited about it, but they're not going to be until we win games and do the things that winners do. When we get our program in place, that's when the culture will change.
Q. I know it's pretty early to make comparisons, but what do you see in terms of similarities between the Big Ten and Big 12 style of play?
A: Having been in the league before, again, I haven't done a great deal of trying to study because to me that tape is so generic. Until you're on the sideline and you're up close and personal, I think you get sometimes some false impressions. We're going to have great coaches, great players, some phenomenal teams.
What's going to be interesting as you get into November, you're not going to see four or five teams jockeying; we're going to see six or seven teams, three or four from each division, fighting for that divisional deal.
I think the uniqueness of our league, I don't think the league understands, I don't think the people from Indianapolis understand the jockeying for play and the power of the championship game, how strong that's going to be for our league.
I know we've got tradition, but I think we're on the cutting edge of something special for college and Big Ten football.
Ohio State head coach Luke Fickell
Q. Have you had much contact with Jim Tressel? What is the best advice anybody's given you?
A: No, I have not had a whole lot of contact with Coach Tressel. I know he has been very supportive. He loves Ohio State and wishes us nothing but the best.
Again, I think in the short period of time, there has been a lot of people I've talked to, a lot of advice I've gotten. To a T, I'd say probably the best advice from several people would be, be who you are, do it your way, make sure you're not trying to be somebody you're not. That's probably the best thing that I've got.
Q. Is it difficult going into the season not knowing about your own future beyond this year? Do you do anything this season to sort of make an impression with your own administration about your ability to do and keep the job?
A: Again, our focus is on what we can control. I think that's been from day one, from that leadership ability. Nobody puts more pressure on themselves than me. So all the outside pressures are things that obviously you deal with. But the pressure you put upon yourself I think is greater. What is the future? We know that we're excited about getting on the field, proving what we can do, focusing on what we can control, and everybody else will make those decisions for themselves.
Q. Coach, you and Brady Hoke will be starting a new era in the Ohio State/Michigan rivalry. How does that feel coaching along a new coach in that game?
A: As you know, that's an exciting time, no matter what. If that starts hopefully a long rivalry as some of the ones in the past have had, that's what it's all about. Nobody will overlook that. I know that's not something that will ever be overlooked at Ohio State. Obviously look forward to that rivalry, continuing that great tradition.
Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema
Q. Talk a little bit about Russell Wilson and what he brings to the program.
A: It's a work in progress. I came in the middle of spring. I had a fax on my desk. We get a lot of that, where kids want to talk to us about transfer opportunities. Russell Wilson jumped right in my head right away. I remember watching him on some games the past couple seasons. Reached out to my quarterback coach, offensive coordinator, he was aware of it as well. Just began the recruiting process.
I will say this. No matter how good a football player Russell Wilson is, the first thing I wanted to find out is what kind of person he is. I always say that in recruiting, you recruit your own problems. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't recruiting somebody that was going to potentially be a problem at Wisconsin. He's a stand-up guy, great character. Just a really, really neat kid.
Began to evaluate, talk to him. Brought him in on his visit, had him meet with a lot of offensive players, skill and offensive linemen. Everybody after that visit was very encouraging to talk to about the way he handles himself and talks to other players.
Come full circle, he obviously picked Wisconsin. He was back on our campus within three or four days after that and has been there ever since. Because of NCAA rules that we follow, you can't be around him as a coach. You kind of have to let him do what he does. The players have been very positive. You'll have three of my guys here in the next couple days, they've been around him a lot more than I have.
What Russell brings to the table is an opportunity for us as coaches to see what we can do. We'll get him in fall camp, like every one of our players. We have 105 players coming to campus. We'll see who can give us the best chance to win football games in the fall and figure it out from there.
Q. Last year you cleared some hurdles, beat Ohio State, won the Big Ten championship for the first time in 11 years for Wisconsin, made it to the Rose Bowl. Where do you think things are in terms of Wisconsin, that brand, your football program right now?
A: You know, those are great things, but they're a part of history. People write about history. What you do is what you do. Now what I want to do is concentrate on the future history of our program. I want to concentrate on what our guys are going to be able to do this upcoming season.
I couldn't be more excited. To be so privileged to be a part of our program, Wisconsin is what it is. We're not real sexy. I always say we're not the first girl taken to the prom, but we're not the last. I think we're a group that lines up, goes to work, does things the right way.
One thing that jumped out to me right away, I remember during the whole recruitment of Russell, media attention, we were doing a Badger Day, we go all around the state. A fan walked up to me and shook my hand said, 'Coach, I really appreciate the way you do what you do.' He was sincere. He said, I mean what I said. All he was saying was the Russell recruitment, whenever he is a starter, it was a positive story about college football. I think that's what I'm excited about.
One of the first things I do every day, I'll come into my office and plug into a web page that's all about college football. I'll read the top 12 headlines. Most of the time, more than three-quarters of them are about negative things around college football. For us to stay in a positive light, means a lot for me, means a lot for us in recruiting. I think that's very evident in the kind of kids we're playing.
I think for us to be entering a time in college football, to be part of a new conference with 12 teams, to be a part of the Leaders Division, to have our team on national TV for four games in our conference that no one else can touch, to have our winning percentage over the last six years go against anybody in college football, it's fun to be a Badger.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
A rare international investment by Australia's Champ Private Equity has gone undetected on Australian shores.
Shelf Drilling International Holdings Ltd.–a consortium led by Champ, Castle Harlan Inc. and Lime Rock Partners–agreed to pay around US$1.05 billion for 38 shallow water drilling rigs from New York and Zurich-listed oil driller Transocean Ltd. (RIG), both entities said Sept. 10.
The sales price includes around $855 million in cash and $195 million in seller financing in the form of preference shares, Transocean said in its statement.
One of Australia's most successful fund managers remains bullish on Rio Tinto relative to its peers despite the mining giant reporting a slump in its first-half earnings on the back of weaker commodity prices.
Michael McCorry, Managing Director of BlackRock in Australia, picked the Anglo-Australian giant because of its diverse product base, including everything from bauxite to salt, which he said should protect the company's share price when "some of the marginal players with single commodity exposures may struggle."
African Petroleum Corp. has agreed to a non-binding deal that could bring in PetroChina as an investor in some of its promising West African oil and gas exploration activities, lifting the Australian company's share price.
The company said Tuesday in a statement that PetroChina, one of the world's largest oil companies, has been given an exclusive period through to the end of August to agree to invest in as much as 20% of Block LB-09 in Liberia and up to 20% in one or more exploration blocks in Ivory Coast, Gambia, Liberia, Senegal and Sierra Leone.
Takeover chatter about Australian energy company Santos Ltd. has bubbled to the surface again, with JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank naming it as a potential target in as many days.
Santos, with a current market value of 11.2 billion Australian dollars ($11.1 billion), has a portfolio of gas assets in Australia and Asia. These include stakes in planned gas-export joint ventures in Queensland state and Papua New Guinea with the likes of Total SA and ExxonMobil Corp. that are being built to feed a projected surge in demand for cleaner-burning fuels from Asia.
Macquarie may not feature in Dealogic's top ten league table for announced M&A deals in the Asia Pacific ex. Japan but the Australian investment bank has scored a mandate in North America.
As reported by our Deal Journal colleague Ryan Dezember, Toronto-listed NiMin Energy Corp., an independent oil producer, has hired Macquarie Capital to advise it on strategic options including a sale or merger.
The company will open its books next week to potential suitors.
Brokers have weighed in on Australian oil and gas explorer AWE's acquisition of two Indonesian Production Sharing Contracts for a total US$139 million including liabilities, a deal the majority believe is earnings accretive.
Deutsche Bank — who have a Buy on the stock and a price target of A$1.65/share — reckon the transaction is positive to the company's growth potential but that a farm-in agreement is likely before a final investment decision is made.
"We do not believe the company is placed to fund or bear all risk at the Ande Ande Lumut development on a 100% basis. As a result, we look to farm-in deals flagged for late 2012 as a key milestone," Deutsche analyst John Hirjee said in a note.
After a year of political upheaval in North Africa, now may seem an odd time to be listing a Morocco-focused oil explorer.
But former managers of Tap Oil and Karoon Gas are ready to test the appetite of Australian investors for their latest venture, Pura Vida Energy NL, which has partnered with the Moroccan national oil company to explore for oil offshore.
Pura Vida Energy is seeking to raise 4 million Australian dollars (US$3.9 million) to advance exploration in an area of the Atlantic coast, which they say has the potential to contain over a billion barrels of oil. The main Toubkal prospect in the Mazagan area is highly speculative, but managing director Damon Neaves says it shows similar characteristics to the huge Jubilee field offshore Ghana, which is currently producing around 85,000 barrels of oil a day.
