When we consider the value of new Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki to the Nittany Lions, we start with a fundamental point: Kotelnicki, much like new USC defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn, makes it a point of emphasis to tailor his scheme to the skill set of his personnel. He looks at what he has and then tries to fit his scheme to the kinds of players he sees on his roster. As Penn State and USC prepare to meet each other this October, Matt Zemek of Trojans Wire and Marty Leap from Happy Valley Insider on Rivals explained the eerie similarities between the two previous coordinators at PSU and USC. Former Nittany Lion offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich and former Trojan defensive coordinator Alex Grinch didn’t tailor their schemes to their players. They didn’t “let them do what they do best.”

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

It was a huge hit in Ann Arbor but drew substantial disdain in Columbus when longtime running backs coach Tony Alford departed Ohio State for the same position with Michigan football.
Getting Alford from Michigan’s archrival was a huge coup for new head coach Sherrone Moore, similar to when Day took two coaches from the Wolverines when he took over the Buckeyes.
Ohio State fans will tell you they were tired of Alford — both in recruiting and on-field production — while Michigan fans will equally say they’re excited about his ability to both recruit and develop. And as Alford says it,...
