- Thus far, I have Bobcat football fans traveling in from Orlando, Boston and Atlanta for the UConn game.
- “The Jim Schaus Show on the Sears Sports Fan” begins another year in 2009-10 this Thursday. Jim and I have a ton to catch up on, and we’ll share an interview with volleyball coach Ryan Theis before the Lady ‘Cats open the year on Friday up in Wisconsin.
- Speaking of the volleyball team, a short stop in Chicago to see Katie Post’s family is on the agenda on the way up to Madison. Later, the ladies will check in with Jane Sytsma’s family in Madison as well. This trip sounds like it will be a great bonding experience for the squad.
- As announced on OhioBobcats.com earlier this week, we are excited at Power 105 to have both The Frank Solich Show and The John Groce Show back on the flagship station of Bobcat athletics. The Semeka Randall Show will continue on sister-station 970 WATH.
- Bobcat football is holding its last two-a-day of fall camp today. The second practice was initially scheduled for this afternoon but will take place tonight under the lights at Peden Stadium.
- You have to feel for Buffalo tailback James Starks. But keep in mind, back-up running back Brandon Thermilus has been solid throughout his tenure at UB. And first-year starter Zack Maynard is a true dual-threat quarterback. Starks is obviously a huge loss, but it’d be a mistake to completely rule out the running game for the defending MAC champs.
