First "The Archer" comic coming very soon...

I just saw the first completed "The Archer" comic strip by Chuck Ayers.

For those who don't know, Ayers is a 1971 Kent State graduate. He even taught cartooning here at KSU.  For more on him, visit his website here.

The first comic strip is something of an origin story. It's the Batman Begins of the Dri story we will tell in the comic.

Today's practice is about to begin at Dix Stadium. I have a short morning meeting this morning, but hope to be out to catch the end of practice. If I can, I'll be back with a blog update later today.

In the meantime, here's a look at what's on the web today:



  • Allen Moff has this in today's Record-Courier. The main story tackles position battles, but there are also some notes, including one about the health of Roosevelt Nix and Dri Archer (both in good shape after finishing the year with some nagging injuries).
  • The Aurora Advocate reprinted this Q&A with Joel Nielsen that first appeared in its sister paper, the Record-Courier. If you missed it the first time, it is worth a read.
  • I missed this the other day, but Saturday Blitz had this MAC preview by Kyle Kensing, asking "How Does MAC Football Build Off Historic 2012?"
  • Also in case you missed it, Paul Haynes and Kent State's football coaches are blogging. Coach Haynes' second post dealt with the first day in full pads. You can find it here.
  • Kent State coach Rob Senderoff is scheduled to have a new post today on the Men's Basketball Blog. His team is preparing for its upcoming trip to the Bahamas.

    Hi Susan,
    Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying the blog ... and I'm very happy you like the new website. We are still tweaking and learning, but there is so much more available to us with what we have now. We'll be doing a lot more with the website and adding features as we go.

    You'll be able to follow "The Archer" on the website with the Dri4Heisman page, and also in social media. When we release the first comic strip next week, we'll do it first on the Dri4Heisman Twitter and Facebook pages. And then we'll archive all of the comics on the website.

    Thanks again Susan!
