My new twitter handle is @Harry_MiniumVP Please follow me for the latest news on ODU, beginning Wednesday at the CAA football media day.
Harry Minium is a first-rate investigative reporter. Not to suggest that ODU football isn't an important topic, but I fear that Mr. Minium's talents may be misplaced in this new role.
Nevertheless, best wishes Mr. Minim. I will look forward to your coverage.

He was on the Pilot's sports beat from 1979 to 2003.
Former linebacker and wrestler and ODU alumnus? I like. Welcome Harry.
Hopefully Harry will cover some wrestling this winter too! BTW, ODU Wrestling had 2 freestyle all-Americans this weekend in Fargo: Kevin Beazley (5th @ 195) & Micah Barnes (2nd @ 170).

Barnes decommitted and signed with Nebraska. Beazely had a solid tournament in both styles.
Harry Minium is the man. I worked for his late brother Mike when I was at the Daily Press and worked with Harry quite a bit when I was an intern with the HR Admirals in 1997-98.
Glad to see him on the Blitz beat.
That's a buzz-kill!!! I didn't hear about the Barnes recommit. When did that happen? When do u land in London? Give the team ODU's best!
Barnes signed about two weeks ago. But if he didnt want to be here, then we have to wish him the best and put kids on the mat who WANT to be Monarchs.
I leave for London on August 1.

Hehe. More likely that if they plan on playing a FBS team they might as well get a handsome paycheck from it. A la WVU, etc. And I think we've pretty much said we only want Home and Homes? Shrug.
From above article: "I was pleasantly surprised at how cordial things were at Wednesday’s Colonial Athletic Association football media day."
What struck my attention from his blog post
http://hamptonroads.com/2012/07/no-caa-thats-ok about the media day coverage.
"In spite of ODU's lame-duck status, the media day was a cordial event. Wilder exchanged handshakes with most other coaches." Most other? Wonder if I'm reading into that too much or if there were some that were really pissed.
I can't blame JMU for that. And I'd rather that we not play them either. A clean break is a good break. Let's run them off their own field this year and move on--forever...
