Rittenberg doing his Barwis homework via MGoBlog?
This post isn't really that exciting, but it's a slow day and I'm bored.
ESPN is doing a bunch of overkill-ish pieces about the different S&C programs around the country.
Here he talks about Barwis: http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/tag/_/name/strength-coach-june-2010
One noteworthy quote was "...the Philadelphia native has developed quite a reputation among Michigan players and fans." I'm pretty sure a statement like that could only come from regularly perusing MGoBlog and being constantly reminded of Barwis' wolves.
The article also mentions that Barwis was once an MMA fighter. I was unaware.
OK, move along. Nothing else to see here.
He pulls a LOT of content from Mgo. The guy really does a lot of research, and I think his posts are quality work.
Yeah, he definitely reads the blog on a daily basis and links to it frequently. Just sort of reiterating that.
I could give you another +1 for your sig pic
Regarding the post, I mean...maybe, maybe not. Obviously he reads it, but you quickly forget how much content is linked to through this site. Posts are chocked full of links. MGoBlog isn't 100% Brian doing things like going through Barwis's CV.
Pretty big leap in the logic.
gets a paragraph of love on espn.com story about Nebraska's S&C coach under Devaney. Kind of comes out of the blue at the end of the piece. Bonus photo with Brian Griese.
Watching the '98 Rose Bowl two nights ago, I noticed how solid Griese looked.
The '97 roster has him at 6'-2", 207 lbs. The current roster has Tate at 6'-1", 194 lbs, and Denard at 6'-0", 188 lbs.
1st of all, given how Griese looked, there is no way Tate is 194 lbs. 2nd, Denard looks more solid than Tate to me ...
Now that his shoulder is healed up, Tate needs to get on the gym / chocolate milk routine.
Also, man Tai Streets was tall. He was lighter, but had a build and deceptive run style similar to Terelle Pryor. Both Jeremy Jackson and Ricardo Miller have some height on them too. Hopefully at least one emerges this season lining up for a future #1 jersey.
Content is why we're all here, right?
He's got his sources - MGoBlog.
How do you have over 8000 points, but were unaware Barwis had fought MMA? SHAME.
They fail to mention that Barwis is no longer in MMA because they couldn't find him a fair fight. His matches were like watching a wolf and a sloth go at it.
I always read that Barwis was an MMA fighter, but I've never seen any evidence. Did he just train for MMA? Did he have sanctioned fights? If so, what was his record? Not that his record has anything to do with how good of a strength coach he might be, but it would be an interesting tidbit to know...
I'm pretty sure I once saw his record published, but have no idea where. If I remember correctly he'd only had a few fights.
Kumite tournament. Fighting in parking garage basements and abandoned warehouses, in front of those heartless and rich enough to afford such spectacle. The kind of places where two men enter, and one man leaves.
was banned from MMA for ripping a guy's arm off with his pinky toe. Everyone was so scared of him after that they made him retire undefeated. Then he decided to train RR's guys in WV...
Guys, they made a movie about it:
I remember that fight scene being a lot more intense when I was 8
