I am really excited for fans of Kent State football to see "The Archer." It's something very different for a Heisman campaign, and the artwork by Chuck Ayers is just fantastic. The first strip is essentially an origin story. We just finished writing and storyboarding the second strip, which links the origin story to the start of the 2013 season and sets up the conflict for the strips that will come out every Wednesday during the season.
Back in the real world, Kent State football held its first scrimmage of the preseason on Saturday – a kick scrimmage. I wasn't there, but the media was.
Here's a look at what is available on "The Newsstand" from both this weekend and this morning:'
- Stephanie Storm of the Akron Beacon Journal was at Saturday's kick scrimmage, and she reports that Anthony Melchiori stood out despite adjustments to the format.
- Allen Moff reported on an injury to offensive lineman Pat McShane and the health of tight end Kyle Payton in Saturday's Record-Courier.
- Moff also had this great day-in-the-life piece that follows Dri Archer through a typical training-camp day.
- The Hustle Belt is running down the top football players in the MAC, and Roosevelt Nix came in at No. 4. Here's a link to Parker Perry's feature on Nix.
