Heirloom wood toy cars, inspired by mid-century American design and car culture.
Funding has ended on Kickstater, but if you missed out, you can now pre-order our products directly on candylabtoys.com
To stay in touch and track our progress, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. This way you'll stay in the loop on new product launches, fun play sessions, beta tests, surveys and product development news.
The moral boost, thank you's and excitement you've sent our way made this an unbelievable month for us and energized us tremendously. Now we can focus on growing our little start-up and bringing more cool toys to life. We are lucky to have a 1000+ strong community of like-minded people and we will continue to rely on you for feedback on current and future models. And watch out for our upcoming "Longest Ramp Jump Competition" (working title).
Countless Thanks from all of us!
We are Candylab: Vlad and Florin, childhood friends and founders of a toy startup where we revive the glamorous 50's and 60's American modernist vibe and carve it into awesome contemporary wood toy designs.
As artists, designers and parents we draw on many influences. Not least of which is our deep love of classic American Cars and the craftsmanship spirit of mid-century modernist furniture designers. Coupled with the realization that we're slowly drowning in forgettable toys that break and disassemble – ending in piles of plastic bits - this determined us to create a line of heirloom wood toys that are elegant, indestructible, and simple, giving kids a chance to create their own stories around the objects they play with.
That's how MO-TO came about. Two years of experimentation, development, testing and relentless encouragement from friends, family and perfect strangers at the playground have resulted in a multitude of designs that we are totally excited about. We selected four to preview with you and publicly launch at the Gift and Toy Fair in NYC on August 18th.
MO-TO cars are at heart a series of refined wood blocks on wheels. Elegant proportions reminiscent of iconic 1960's automobiles, minute and complex carving details, perfectly smooth rubber tires and lively graphics- this all adds up to a stunning toy. The dense beechwood gives it unexpected heft, making for highly realistic play scenarios based on real world physics – evident in ramp jumps and landings. The water-based paints and clear urethane are safe and environmentally conscious – while the high gloss finish, cool graphics and candy-like colors spark imaginative play scenarios.
They are virtually indestructible, with no loose parts to worry about. Dropping them at the playground or fishing them out from the bottom of a toy chest would only bring about the occasional romantic battle scar.
4 Distinct tee designs - by yours truly and Sasha Iacob- for our backers to choose from. Available in ladies or men's style - and running the usual sizes variation.
The GT-10
In a bright orange, race striped livery, it riffs on the pure soul of a classic sports car if there ever was one. They don't come much more American Muscle than that.
Carbon 77
Muted, discreet gray with a hairline bright red stripe. The wolf in sheep's clothing, lucky number 77 will be the star on the imaginary quarter mile circuit.
Doc Ryder
Named after legendary –and imaginary- wood toy race car driver, this two-tone racer will fight tooth and nail at every hairpin turn. The imaginary huge engine requires a large hood air intake.
The Plum 50 - New addition!
A head turning beauty, draped in a striking color, she will stand out at the track. Same racing bones as its other brethren, but oh-so-smartly dressed. This model will stay exclusive to our backers for a while, as we currently do not plan mass production for it.
All racers:
Material: German Beech Wood, water based paint and clear urethane coat. White ABS plastic rims, with rubber tires.
Dimensions: 7.2"L x 2.8"W x 1.95"H (18.3cm L x 7.3cm W x 5cm H) Weight: 13oz / 368g
Police Cruiser
Boxy and assertive, shiny Black-and-White paint scheme, gold star and with two cherries on top. Making sure racing stays at the track.
Material: German Beech Wood, water based paint and clear urethane coat. White ABS plastic rims, with rubber tires.
Dimensions: 7.0"L x 2.8"W x 2.35"H (17.8cm L x 7.3cm W x 6cm H) Weight: 12.5oz / 354g
The Rare Bird
A classic fastback silhouette, with an impressive roofline and standout tail end. Real metallic water based automotive paint in a period-accurate shade. Mustard yellow stripes.
Hand made at our shop in Yucca Valley, CA.
Material: German Beech Wood, automotive water based paint and clear coat. White ABS plastic rims, with rubber tires. Dimensions: 7.23"L x 2.8"W x 2.0"H (18.4cm L x 7.3cm W x 5.2cm H) Weight: 13oz / 368g
The STINGER
Race striped rear end in true 60's early pioneer hoonage style - not to mention a color even Curiosity can spot from its crater on Mars.
Material: German Beech Wood, automotive water based paint and clear coat. White ABS plastic rims, with rubber tires. Dimensions: 7.23"L x 2.8"W x 2.0"H (18.4cm L x 7.3cm W x 5.2cm H) Weight: 12.7oz / 360g
We have developed countless prototypes, test units and various design iterations. We are 100% confident about the design and its manufacturability.
We received final production samples from our factory, financed and developed the necessary wood jigs, plastic and rubber molds and we are ready to release production.
On the commercial side, we are negotiating a distribution agreement with a national wholesaler focusing on design toys, and are publicly launching our brand and products at the NY Gift and Toy Fair – NY NOW!- on August 18th. Early response from retailers has been overwhelming and everyone is anxiously awaiting the first batch for the holiday season!
This is where we need you. By backing the project, you are essentially pre-ordering from our first collection, and enabling us to raise the capital to meet minimum production volume requirements and achieve retail presence.
That is no small feat, but we're also testing our toy startup with the savviest early adopter community in the world, and your support will validate our efforts.
This type of brand requires an involved community to grow. With your support we anticipate beginning to ship to our backers as soon as mid October.
We are very excited to go into production and make the leap from concept to store shelves - and can't wait to share this wonderful experience with you!
Help us spread the word and share it with your friends.
A big THANK YOU – and see you at the playground!
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
We have significant product development experience between us: Vlad is an accomplished architect and product designer and Florin has more than 15 years of experience in prototyping and production development. And to further minimize any potential risks, we have financed all tooling required for mass production and tweaked multiple iterations of production samples. We expect no surprises there – and our distribution partner is invaluable in resolving the logistics of getting merchandise to our US warehouse.
The small production, collector batches will in fact be manufactured at our shop in Yucca Valley, CA, minimizing supply chain risks.
We are ready for production and ready to deliver our toys at the highest level of quality and craftsmanship.

Phoenix Forward's most-read stories of 2013
With 2013 winding down, we reviewed our clicks, checked them twice and found out which articles appealed the most to our readers during the past year. Topping the list, not surprisingly, was a story on the ever-popular topic of whether you should listen to music while studying.

Here is the complete Top 10 list:
If you're easily distracted by outside stimuli, doing homework with your favorite tunes playing may not be the best idea, according to a University of Phoenix expert.
Wonder what the new law means for the profession? While the sweeping reforms affect the entire health care industry, nurses will have more opportunities than ever to broaden their skills.
Find out why a more intimate setting leads to better communication with instructors and peers, and more personal attention.
When talking face to face isn't an option, use this expert advice to stand out to employers on the other end of the line.
Do you have the leadership expertise to run a hospital or other medical facility? Learn what you'll need to work in this growing field.

We've come a long way from No. 2 pencils and filmstrips. See how the educational tools of your grandparents' time have evolved into today's high-tech learning environment.
Wonder how working with your classmates can help you on the job? A University of Phoenix expert describes the skills you'll gain that employers value.
Nursing isn't the same profession it was a generation ago. Today's nurses must adapt to a rapidly shifting health care landscape.

In my work as a clinical ethics consultant, I have seen many situations where dying patients or their surrogates make decisions that cause considerable concern and moral stress to physicians, and particularly to nurses who are continually at the patient's bedside. In an era where respect for patient autonomy is the paramount ethical value, we are obligated to be respectful of these preferences and decisions. But what about the cases where those preferences and decisions lead to procedures and treatments at the end of life which are entirely contrary to sound medical advice? Should physicians follow these directives even if this means that the patient will suffer needlessly and the physician will be performing painful, futile treatment?
Ethics consultations are frequently called on to address issues at the end of life. One of the most pressing issues involves dying patients for whom CPR would be medically inappropriate. The patient or surrogate will not give consent for a DNR order, insists on remaining full code and that "everything be done" in spite of a prognosis of imminent death. A case I read about a few years ago illustrates this concern.
The Alden March Bioethics Institute offers a Master of Science in Bioethics, a Doctorate of Professional Studies in Bioethics, and Graduate Certificates in Clinical Ethics and Clinical Ethics Consultation. For more information on AMBI's online graduate programs, please visit our website.

Creating Images with openSUSE Build Service 1.5
The newly released version 1.5 of the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) will enable developers to build not only software packages but entire distributions.
Besides exporting ISO images and FTP trees, OBS 1.5 can create installable images, such as the live CDs and DVDs.In addition, the new version can create images for installable USB sticks, Xen images and VMware images.
Like SUSE Studio, the new capabilities of the Build Service can be attributed to KIWI.
OpenSUSE 11.1 was the first release to be built entirely using the Build Service. Version 1.5 also comes with some experimental features including support for cross-architecture for ARM and package download on demand.
An abundance of articles dealing with the Build Service can be found on the openSUSE Wiki.

- An alternative sequence of events: You take a vacation in San Diego (9 nights), plan a getaway to New York City (4 nights) and work on an off-site project in Chicago (7 nights). There. You've reached 20 nights and are eligible for a free night.
- Can you define "eligible"?
- Certainly. Some stays/rates are excluded from earning reward credit such as:
- Stays booked with an online travel website (like Hotwire, Priceline, Expedia, Hotels.com, Travelocity or Orbitz). Please remember that you enjoy our best rates and earn complimentary night rewards when you book directly at www.kimptonhotels.com. Oh, and don't forget to use your Membership Number!
- Stays that use a complimentary gift certificate or complimentary night reward.
- These rate codes: airline crew, travel agent, friends and family, and employee.
- Do my Kimpton stays/nights roll over into next year?

Exeter City v Brazil
An article on the Exeter City website caught my eye yesterday and got me scrabbling through the numerous shoe boxes in which I keep my collection of football programmes looking for my copy of Exeter City's centenary brochure of 2004. As you can see they played a Brazil Masters XI, what a coup by Exeter City to get this team, including the likes of Careca, Dunga and Jorginho and officially sanctioned by the CBF, to travel over from Brazil especially for this game. Marvellous stuff, but why? Why would the greatest football nation on the planet take time to put an all-star team together and send them to play a lower-league English football club?

Got Not Got: The A-Z of Lost Football Culture, Treasures and Pleasures
As you would expect from a blog like ours, that likes to look at the retro side of football, we love any new football books that focus on the nostalgic elements of the beautiful game. Got Not Got is one of those books, it's a beauty. An absolute must-have for all you nostalgia junkies out there. It's a memory-filled journey back into the 60s, 70s & 80s when football was .. well .. better.
Better than it is now anyway, with it's all-seater stadiums where you have to sit down and shut up .. except that is when the goal music plays. Then you have to stand up for a bit and do some stupid half-arsed 'victory dance' dreamt up by a knobhead from the Soccer AM studios.
Manchester United Tour of Bermuda 1987
Here's some nice Manchester United trivia for you. What was Alex Ferguson's one and only appearance for the United first team? The programme cover above is a rather large clue. During the mid-season tour of Bermuda at the back end of 1987 Fergie came on as a second half substitute in the game against Somerset Cricket Club. Now you know.
Rotherham United New Community Stadium
Work is well under way constructing Rotherham United's new community stadium. Local company Ellrod Site Services must be congratulated on their use of social media to provide updates on the construction of the stadium. They're tweeting regular photos of the site and looking through their twitter gallery it's fascinating see the stadium rise from the ground.

Great Service – My husband and I go to Franks at least every 3 months. We love the french onion soup and grilled mussels are always a treat. The only entree I did not like was the stuffed flounder. The specials are great but alittle expensive. The food is always wonderful.
Must have been an off night – My wife and I were encouraged to go to this small strip mall restaurant a few months back by friends. The veal marsala was so bad (tasted like beef gravy) I sent it back and explained that I thought it tasted strange and I declined the offer to order something else. When the check arrived (my meal was not charged) the owner/chef came to the table to investigate the complaint. Instead of just leaving it alone, he chose to argue with me about the quality of the food and wasn't done until he had completely ruined the evening for us. Evidently his kitchen never makes a mistake.
Pass on Frank's unless you're prepared to go at it with Frank...
A Cozy Corner – Frank's Gourmet Grille is located in a cozy corner in East Lyme. You walk through the door and your greeted by a friendly host(ess). Once seated, your friendly server drops by with some olives and introduces him/herself. On the menu there are things such as Chicken/Veal Picatta, Chicken/Veal Marsala, Stuffed Chicken, Coquilles St. Jaques (Scallops), Pastas, and the Specials that always tempt me. You pay a good amount of money but they get you stuffed. They are not cheap with portions. If you aren't full enough after dinner. They have a dessert tray with about 10-15 desserts on it. There is something to tempt everyone. On your way out you will probably notice the beautiful bar and lounge. It's used as almost an extension of the dining room. They serve dinner or just cocktails in there. It's a great addition for the customers who have to wait for a table.

In small towns throughout the United States, volunteer fire departments play a vital role in ensuring public safety - often with a minimum of financial resources.
At the direction of local farmer Jim Jackson, the Monsanto Fund has made a $5,000 donation that will pay for gear to keep Lehigh's volunteer firefighters safe.
Jackson won a drawing through the Monsanto Fund that enabled him to direct a $2,500 grant to the nonprofit organization of his choice.
Since Webster County was declared a disaster area by the United States Department of Agriculture because of drought-related crop losses, the Monsanto Fund allowed Jackson to direct the award of a second $2,500 grant.
Jackson chose to give both grants, a total of $5,000, to the Lehigh Fire Department.
"A lot of the time, they give a lot of their time to be a fireman," Jackson told The Messenger.
At present, the department is also undertaking a larger fundraiser to obtain $500,000 for a new firehouse.
We applaud Monsanto and Jackson's dedication to the department and urge others to follow this example.

Alley, a freshman at Sparks High School, is finishing up his first year in the Microsoft IT Signature Academy while making huge strides in the first-year program. The 14-year-old was already a "gamer" before he entered the academy, and he said he discovered it was much more than he expected.
"At first, for me, it was the gaming aspect of (the academy)," Alley said. "As soon as I got into the program I realized it was much more than that. What I have gotten from it is my expertise because I like database, number crunching and things like that. So I found another branch that I can go off of. For others, it can be game designing or security, but I have found my place."
The database programming Alley finds interesting can cover a broad range of topics, according to Microsoft IT program facilitator Tami Curley.
"Most people think about it as keeping track of things," Curley said. "But it also uses a lot of gaming such as people who sign up to play online. There are different ways to use database programming and that is what Darren has looked at, all those different ways you can use database."
Along with handling database programming, Alley also works with Microsoft certification assessments, handling popular programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Alley has earned eight certifications in all, two of them at an expert level for more dense programs, and he received his Microsoft Technical Associates certification from the company itself.
"For me, it is overwhelming because it brings that feeling of passing it," Alley said. "There are some that are more difficult than others because it is simulated and you don't actually have the real program in front of you, so it is overwhelming and fun to pass them.
"With the books we have through Microsoft I usually take them home with me every now and again like when I have something I am stuck on and need to work on it at home. If I am stuck on something that I cannot get past, I usually like to write down the chapter so I can memorize and find out what I am doing wrong and what I can improve on."
Curley said Alley has become a mentor in the classroom, helping other students with their certifications and coaching them on completing the proper steps when handling assignments. She said his commitment to programming and understanding that his future career can be in technological studies has led him to the achievements at a young age.
"He came in understanding that this is about careers," Curley said. "For others, they did not realize they could make a career out of the things they get from this academy. He has dedication and he is motivated. He gets it.
"For Darren, he has made a commitment to it and that is a big thing for him. They all have the ability to take the work home and he works on it through Christmas break and is always working at home. He sees that success and he wants to see more."
Alley is currently looking for an internship in the Mayor's office, which will have him troubleshooting common computer problems and give him the opportunity to get some field experience. He said though college is still a few years off, he plans to find a school with strong engineering and computer science departments so he can work for a Bachelor and Master's degree before entering the field of business intelligence.
"It is something that has piqued my interest and it is a little bit different and more unique than database," Alley said of the career. "It is really working with the people and running programs for the clientele. You get to see their numbers and see what they are doing with it."
Until the time for college comes, Alley said he is looking forward to advancing in the Microsoft IT Academy as well as working in the Robotics Club, marching band and ski team at Sparks High School. Curley said options will be endless for Alley because of the extensive training he will receive in the academy.
"The nice thing about Microsoft is that it is used all around the world," Curley said. "So wherever these kids go, people are using Microsoft and it will open up those doors for them. Whether it is working at Microsoft or at a hospital, for example, they will be using Microsoft technology so your skills will be transferrable there."

No. 39: South Florida
By Paul Myerberg // Jul 26, 2011
We have a problem. Lou Holtz has a son, Skip, who coaches at South Florida. Lou Holtz has undying love and affection for Notre Dame, which takes on Skip's Bulls in the season opener. Lou Holtz is an analyst for a major television network, meaning he is paid to give his opinion on marquee college football games, of which South Florida-Notre Dame is one. So there's the problem: Holtz will be asked to give his analysis, but his analysis is often tainted by his own personal allegiances. So who wins out when family – South Florida – takes on his beloved Fighting Irish? Well, it's not such a big problem in the grand scheme of things. But now that U.S.F. continues to improve, what would Holtz do if the Bulls, Notre Dame and South Carolina ended the year undefeated? Not to mention N.C. State, Minnesota, Arkansas or William & Mary. That would be a problem.

Last year's prediction
What is there to like about the Bulls? Beyond Holtz, a coach with a proven track record, South Florida could speed up the learning process should a handful of the many young, unproven contributors make an immediate impact. The offense will center around Daniels, a wonderfully talented athlete still learning how to play quarterback on the college level. The Bulls aren't a conference title contender; in a strange way, I think Rutgers — a team I have ranked behind the Bulls — more capable of exceeding expectations and challenging for a B.C.S. berth. Nevertheless, this is a clear bowl team, though a team that will occasionally stumble while growing accustomed to a new coach, a new voice and new standards. Not to mention new philosophies on both sides of the ball.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Consider the foundation laid for Skip Holtz and South Florida. Well, at least the cement has been poured: work remains to be done, of course, but at least U.S.F. can take solace in the fact that unlike the days under his predecessor, these Bulls finished strong. Though only 3-3 in mid-October, the Bulls won five of seven to finish the season 8-5, albeit a lackluster 3-4 in Big East play. As noted, the foundation isn't built overnight. Holtz's next plan of action should be rebuilding an offense that lacks punch. U.S.F. ended the year ranked 85th in scoring, 71st in rushing, 101st in passing and 105th in total offense — those numbers need to improve. They will with time, especially once this team catches up with the West Coast attack Holtz ran to great effect at East Carolina. But can the offense take a significant step forward in 2011? If the Bulls can get more from this side of the ball, this team is a definite B.C.S. contender.
High point A 23-20, overtime win over once-intimidating Miami (Fla.) on the second-to-last Saturday of the regular season. Beyond granting U.S.F. its seventh win, the victory over the Hurricanes gave the program something to hang its hat on during the upcoming recruiting cycle. It was a big win for the program. And it was hard not to be impressed by the way South Florida outfought Clemson in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, clawing out a 31-26 win despite struggling to move the ball, as most had predicted.
Low point Only one Big East loss came by more than a touchdown, so that's the pick: a 20-6 loss at West Virginia. It wasn't the first time the offense came up short, nor would it be the last.
Tidbit South Florida has posted 12 non-losing seasons over its 14 years of existence as a football program. The one losing season, as you'd expect, came in that 1997 season. The other was a strange slide to 4-7 in 2004, South Florida's final season as part of Conference USA. In a not entirely apropos comparison, Florida State had four losing seasons over its first 14 years of existence, from 1947-60; Miami (Fla.) had three from 1927-40; and Florida had three from 1906-20.
Tidbit (Big East edition) Which Big East program has the most wins since 2005, when Cincinnati, Louisville and South Florida joined the conference to give it a nine-team format? It's West Virginia by a mile: 60-17, thanks mainly to three-straight 11-win seasons under Rich Rodriguez from 2005-7. Cincinnati comes in second, thanks to another successful three-year stint from a since-departed coach in Brian Kelly. Third? South Florida: 48-24, one win ahead of Rutgers, five wins ahead of Pittsburgh and Louisville, six wins ahead of Connecticut and 26 games ahead of Syracuse.
Tidbit (New College of Florida edition) There were several theories as to today's team based on yesterday's hint at the bottom of the Tulsa preview, which said the following:
One of the satellite campuses associated with tomorrow's university shared its campus with an institution whose alumni include a Fields Medal-winning mathematician, a time management expert and an actress who once shared the screen with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
So the answer is South Florida, obviously. The satellite campus in question is University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee; the institution that shared a site with Sarasota-Manatee was the New College of Florida, which is actually a very well-regarded school; the New College's Field Medal-winning alumni was William Thurston, who won the award in 1982 for his work on 3-manifolds; the time management expert was David Allen; and the child actress in question was Sarah Rose Karr, who was one of the Arnold Schwarzenegger's students in the 1990 classic "Kindergarten Cop."

Skip Holtz (Notre Dame '86), 8-5 after one season at South Florida. He arrived in Tampa after leading East Carolina to back-to-back Conference USA championships, as well as four consecutive bowl trips. His stature grew with each successive season at E.C.U., in direct correlation with his team's win total: 3-20 from 2003-4, the Pirates won five games in 2005, seven in 2006, eight in 2007 and nine games in both 2008 and 2009. In all, Holtz compiled a 37-27 record over five years with the Pirates. He was hired following five years as the assistant head coach under his father at South Carolina, though he had previous head coaching experience at Connecticut from 1994-98 (33-23 record). In his final season, Holtz lead the Huskies to a 10-3 record and a final ranking in the F.C.S. Top 25. It is not hard to imagine why Holtz had a degree of success with E.C.U.; in addition to working under his father with Gamecocks and at Notre Dame (1990-93), Holtz coached under Bobby Bowden at Florida State (1987-88) and Earle Bruce at Colorado State (1989), compiling a career mark of 67-15-2 as an assistant. Still relatively young at 47, Holtz's decision to accept the U.S.F. position came as a surprise to some who felt he could have landed a job at a more historically successful program. However, Holtz saw in South Florida the same factors that attracted a Bobby Bowden to Florida State or Howard Schnellenberger to Miami: a fertile recruiting base, the opportunity for massive growth and the potential to be the defining figure in the history of the program. If Jim Leavitt laid the groundwork for future success, it becomes Holtz's job to get South Florida off the lower levels of the Big East and into the penthouse. He's off to a very nice start.
Players to watch
It wasn't a very pretty year for junior quarterback B.J. Daniels, who struggled grasping a new system that seemed to play away from his improvisational strengths. As a redshirt freshman in 2009, Daniels tossed 14 touchdowns against 8 picks while rushing for a team-best 772 yards. His numbers nosedived in a big way last fall: 1,685 yards — roughly 300 fewer yards in 18 more attempts — with 11 touchdowns against 13 picks and only 259 yards on the ground. Asked to do less, in some ways, Daniels did just that. What U.S.F. and offensive coordinator Todd Fitch wants from Daniels is consistency, which entails hitting on at least 60 percent of his attempts, limiting his interceptions and staying within himself, though that does detract from Daniels' strength outside the pocket.
Year two in this system will surely find Daniels more comfortable, which will lead to better production, but how good will Daniels be? I think he's just too gifted not to have a far better year. Yet last year marked a step back for one of the nation's better athletes under center, and I still think U.S.F. would be wise to give Daniels more opportunities to make plays with his legs. It's on Fitch and Holtz to be a little more flexible, as while the future of this offense lies with a pure pocket-passer, the Bulls should tailor the system just a bit to better fit Daniels' skill set. As was the case in 2010, Daniels holds the key to the entire offense.
The Bulls must replace leading rusher Moise Plancher, who ended his career with a very nice senior season. You'd think that junior Demetris Murray (533 yards, 4 scores) would step into Plancher's shoes, as Murray and Plancher did share top duties a year ago. You'd probably be right; Murray knows this offense, has proven an ability to make plays in this offense, so he'll continue to factor heavily into the mix. But the big story in the backfield is the arrival of former Colorado transfer Darrell Scott, who is eligible for snaps after sitting out last season.
Scott, as we're all aware, arrived in Boulder with massive expectations but ended up being a massive disappointment. Thanks to a fresh start, look for Scott to show why he was such a highly-touted recruit, choosing the Buffaloes over Texas, Oklahoma and offers from coast to coast. Another B.C.S. conference transfer, former Auburn back Dontae Aycock, will be the big back in this offense. U.S.F. wants to get the run the ball with its backs, not Daniels, and the Bulls definitely have the backfield to do so.
A.J. Love is back on the field at receiver after missing all of last season with an A.C.L. tear, which is great news for this South Florida offense. Love was due to be a major player at receiver in 2010, so his return provides a sizable boost to a group still looking for a top target. Maybe Love will be that guy, though he needs to recapture his 2009 form. Converted quarterback Evan Landi (29 catches for 402 yards), South Florida's leading returning receiver, is a starter heading into the fall. As is former defensive back Terrence Mitchell, who has speed to burn but no experience at the position. There's an overall lack of experience here, minus senior Joel Miller and junior Lindsey Lamar (25 for 161). So the Bulls need help from redshirt freshman Deonte Welch and sophomores Sterling Griffin and Derrick Hopkins in order to get this passing game off the ground.
Holtz made a great hire at defensive coordinator in Mark Snyder, who became available following the 2009 season after failing to turn things around at Marshall. He did a nice job in his first year with the program, continuing South Florida's recent history of solid play defensively despite replacing two standout rush ends, another pair of starters at linebacker and retooling the secondary on the fly. Now that Snyder has passed those hurdles — and now that his charges are another year wiser in his system — look for the Bulls to take another step forward defensively.
If the Bulls take a step back defensively it will be thanks to a rather large hole in the middle of the line: Terrell McClain, the anchor of South Florida's run defense, will be hard to replace. And such an imposing figure can make or break a defense, as we've seen many times in the recent past. The onus is on senior Keith McCaskill and junior Cory Grissom to maintain the solid level of play along the interior of the line. Neither has started for the Bulls, but both were important pieces of the rotation in 2010. They'll start, with redshirt freshman Todd Chandler and sophomores Luke Sager and Demi Thompson the top reserves. Chandler is going to do big things for the Bulls at some point in his career. Sooner rather than later, hopefully.
U.S.F. is loaded at end, one year after the program needed to replace two of the finest defenders in school history. There's talent in the top pair, sophomore Ryan Giddins (19 tackles, 3.5 sacks) and senior Patrick Hampton (20 tackles, 7 for loss), but the real story is depth: it seem as if the Bulls could go five deep here, which should mean a heavy rotation of speedy ends dedicated to getting to the quarterback. The list of backups includes sophomore Julius Forte, junior Anthony Hill and senior Claude Davis; the latter, a former JUCO addition, will be asked only to rush the passer.
The strength of the defense is at linebacker, where U.S.F. returns two of last season's starters. One is junior middle linebacker Sam Barrington (65 tackles, 6.5 for loss). Despite his relative youth, Barrington is a team leader in the middle of the defense. Sophomore DeDe Lattimore (69 tackles, 2.5 sacks) is back on the weak side after playing very well as a rookie starter. The Bulls need a new starter on the strong side: redshirt freshman Reshard Cliett has a slight leg up on senior Curtis Weatherspoon, but the latter's experience might end up giving him the edge. But Cliett, a converted safety, has a promising blend of size and speed.
There's a very nice blend of experience and talented youth in the secondary. The four starters are locked into place, but depth might be at a program-high thanks to a recent infusion of defensive backs via South Florida's solid recruiting efforts. Junior strong safety Jon Lejiste (43 tackles, team-best 4 sacks) has a very nice grasp of things at strong safety. He's joined by senior free safety Jerrell Young, last year's team leader in interceptions with three. Senior Quenton Washington and junior Kayvon Webster will start at cornerback.
Position battle(s) to watch
Offensive line Three starters must be replaced, none bigger then multiple-year starting center Sampson Genus. U.S.F. will promote senior Kevin McCaskill into his old spot: McCaskill started once last fall when Genus went down to injury, so perhaps the transition will be a smooth one — still, McCaskill is really the only viable option at center, so he not only must deliver but also avoid any bouts with injury. Even while losing Genus hurts, the biggest question mark up front is at right tackle. Redshirt freshman Quinterrius Eatmon won the job, so let's give him credit for that, but he'll be lined up across some from very talented ends both in and out of Big East play, so his youth is a bit of a concern. The Bulls can feel secure at guard, where all-conference pick Jeremiah Warren lines up on the left side and Chaz Hine on the right. These two seniors will help McCaskill ease into full-time starting duties at center. Junior Mark Popek was an easy pick at left tackle: he lost his grasp on the starting job last season, but he was a solid performer as a freshman in 2009. To be honest, the Bulls might be in fine shape if McCaskill's transition is a smooth one and Eatmon shows himself capable of holding down the fort on the right side. But those are question marks, as is depth along the second level of the depth chart. Senior left tackle Darren Powe is a nice option behind Popek, but U.S.F. can't feel overly comfortable with its reserves elsewhere. But there is talent here, and the line will benefit from another year in this offensive system.
Game(s) to watch
The opener with Notre Dame stands out, as does a late-season date with Miami (Fla.), which will want some revenge after last year's loss. All Big East games are big, but games against Pittsburgh and West Virginia will decide how the top half of the conference shakes out. The Bulls play four conference games on the road and three at home.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell I have a Big East favorite. I see two teams above the rest, one a bit more than the other. And I see three Big East teams that can sit back in July and have very real B.C.S. hopes: South Florida is one of those teams. There's a lot to like, starting with a very good coaching staff entering its second season with the program. Holtz and his assistants did a fine job in 2010, starting slow but turning things on down the stretch, which lends credence to the thought that U.S.F. will continue to get better and better with this staff in place. There's also talent in the offensive backfield, led by a crop of intriguing running backs headlined by a pair of top-notch transfers. The only real question mark on defense is along the interior of the line, which is cause for concern but not, in my mind, something that's going to keep South Florida from reaching its full potential. So don't be surprised if the Bulls end up taking home the Big East and reaching a B.C.S. bowl; be upset, as this team is not of that caliber without the conference tie-in, but don't be surprised. So why do I have U.S.F. third in the Big East? Because the team is not as talented as either West Virginia or Pittsburgh, in my opinion, though the gap isn't all that large. Because Daniels has talent but lacks consistency, and his play will again dictate this team's fate offensively. Because while the team will be better in year two under Holtz, I still think the Bulls need to learn what it takes to win a Big East crown. But they're learning, and have the right coach in place to eventually get there. For now, U.S.F. is running third in a pretty weak Big East, behind Pittsburgh and West Virginia.
Dream season The year starts with a win at Notre Dame and ends with a win over West Virginia. That would spell an 11-1 finish, a Big East title and a B.C.S. berth.
Nightmare season The Bulls take a step back to 6-6, getting to .500 only with help from three laughable games in non-conference play.

Who is No. 38? The largest city in the state housing tomorrow's university was founded on the same day — not the same year, but the same day — that Abraham Lincoln announced he would issue a formal emancipation of all slaves in the United States on the first day of the following calendar year.

Chicago, IL was incorporated on March 4, 1837. Lincoln announced his plans for emancipation on March 4, 1861.
Northwestern is next.
Here's to a run at the first B1G championship game and title. Go Cats and Persa for Heisman.
There's a chance I'm wrong which I'll gladly accept for a higher NU ranking.
USF starts 0-1
Air Force?
Lincoln announced the proclamation September 22, 1862, and Des Moines was founded September 22, 1851. Iowa is next.
September 22nd so…. What city was found on the September 22nd?
If Northwestern is above Io_a, Hawkeye fans will not be please. Michigan State fans didn't take it particularly well either.
I can't believe that Northwestern is ranked above Iowa. It's an outrage!
In reality, I'm more surprised that Penn State is ranked higher. That was a very unimpressive team with a large number of departing seniors and a returning quarterback who asked to be released from his scholarship. I don't see them doing any better than a repeat 7-5.
Same thing with Washington for me, I personally think they're way too high. But Paul does a great job justifying why he puts teams where he does.
Yep, Des Moines was founded 9/22.
Go Cats!
As a UCF fan, I would like you to know that I approve of the image.
I agree that Northwestern is #38 based on Paul's clue.
One thing stood out in that preview. USF finished strong. Their two best wins were their last two games.
This tells me that Skip Holtz has gotten his system in place and the players are buying in. This can take even the best coaches the better part of two seasons to accoomplish.
If the last half of 2010 is a sign of things to come for USF, then this will be a better season than Mr. Meyerberg predicts, even with the personnel losses.
Paul's comments about Daniels are dead on. The guy is incredibly talented but last year in that offense he looked like a race horse hitched to a plow.
Paul: Yeah, and I'm not sure if I'm impressed by Holtz's decision to make the players fit to his system or worried about his lack of flexibility offensively. One thing that's clear is that he's going to have drop-back passers the rest of the way.
It's not Northwestern. March 4, 1861 was when Lincoln delivered his inaugural — in it, he made no mention of emancipating the slaves (in fact, he said his goal was to preserve the Union, and that he had no intention of outlawing slavery where it already existed). Chicago was incorporate on March 4, 1837…
Lincoln announced his plans to emancipate the slaves on September 22, 1862. So we're looking for the largest city in a state that was founded on September 22nd. Des Moines is the most populous city in Iowa, and was incorporate September 22, 1851.
The Io_a Ha_keyes are next.
Coincidentally, I agree with M Meyer above — not so shocking that Northwestern is ranked above Iowa (NU has more returning starters, and Persa's a great QB, while Vandenberg certainly has the ability to be great but is relatively unproven), but VERY shocking that Penn State is above Iowa. Frankly, Iowa is a MUCH scarier team to me this season as a Northwestern fan than Penn State, simply because Ferentz does a great job developing talent and the Hawkeyes play with a chip on their shoulder (i.e. always doing better when expectations are low).
Wow… even I think it might be aggressive putting NU ahead of Io_a given our gaps on D. I hope I'm wrong.
I stand corrected and am thrilled NU is higher than Io_a.
You guys & your cute little Io_a, I could just eat you up! It's like the little engine that could. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can… make it a rivalry.
I think we did, I think we did, I think we did…5 of the last 6 years, and counting.
Not trying to boast, just sticking to the facts.
Oh, IowaCityHawks, you're so cute….to be a rivalry, Iowa would have to win the game occasionally.
@LookGoodinPurple — those defensive gaps at Northwestern were much more a function of Persa getting hurt. Thru 10 games with Persa, the defense was better in 2010 than in 2009 by pretty much every metric. Once Persa got hurt, though, the offense couldn't (a) sustain drives, thereby allowing the defense to rest and for NU to score points and/or improve field position, or (b) hold on to the ball (most noticeable against Wisconsin, where most of the 70 points they scored should have been attributed to the NU offense that turned the ball over on a short field, not the NU defense). A tired defense working a short field is never going to look impressive.
I, for one, think a year of healthy-Persa (plus a running game that improved throughout the season with Trumpy), as well as more depth/talent on defense with new redshirts/freshmen, will mean a great year for the NU defense.
Oh the ol since '96 argument, never heard that before.
Don't look @ the all time, okay?
BOWL WIN, do you know what that is? Since that's what really matters, care to enlighten me?
Love the effort though.
When arguing with Penn State fans, Iowa fans always say that all-time records are bunk, and all that matters is right now (because right now, Iowa dominates Penn State). When arguing against Northwestern fans, the argument gets reversed — right now no longer matters (NU has 5 of the last 6 against Iowa, including the last three at Iowa), all that's relevant is the all-time record.
The bowl record argument is fair. NU needs to win a bowl…we all know that. Too bad we can't face Iowa in a bowl game.
@chadnudj I would agree with you, but I look at the level of competition during those games in 2010. We'll see who is right because our schedule is much more difficult this year.
You guys & your cute little jNWU, I could just eat you up! It's like the little engine that could. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can… make it a rivalry.
Pot meet Kettle
I know! Io_a fans are insufferable that way. Don't try using logic on them. The sad thing is when PSU finally beats Io_a, Io_a fans will have a "bout time" attitude. When Io_a beats Northwestern chances are the fans will go nuts and say all the games NU won don't matter and write those games off with excuses per the usual. They will also begin to call NU North_estern…you know typical copycat stuff. Io_a fans are so predictable.
I think Iowa's next, and as an NU fan I must admit that I'm surprised to be above both them and MSU (and maybe PSU?) for one reason: we can't tackle. And I guess Persa's achilles could be a 2nd reason.
"BOWL WIN, do you know what that is? Since that's what really matters, care to enlighten me?"
While I'd of course love a bowl win this year, I personally think Big Ten wins are what really matter.
Only Iowa fans come out of the woodwork in droves to repeatedly and angrily tell NU fans how little they care about beating the Cats.
Go Bulls!
Thanks for the write-up, Paul
No Ws for you until your team beats the Purple Curse and _ins one against the Wildcats. ;-)
Seriously – I'm hoping you are undefeated when you face the Wildcats. I marched in NUMB at Io_a. Your fans were nice to us, which we appreciated. (Fans at some of the other B1G schools are total Philistines.)
Go Cats!
I really love the trash talk between just-Northwestern fans and Iowa fans. Seriously, you Northwestern fans are smart, passionate, and nattily dressed. However, it would be nice if you could take some time out of your busy schedules to attend the games at Ryan Field. Yes, Iowa fans are looking forward to the "rivalry" disappearing soon, but we won't copy your missing "w" thing, because it will slip our minds that those games even happened. We played Northwestern in 2008-2010? Gosh, are you sure?
never saw so many people whiff on guessing school no. 39. you should be proud.
@M Meyer
Losing an undefeated record and a number 4 ranking late in the season doesn't ring a bell? :)
