Charlie Sheen Wants an Intern, but Social Media Pros Warn, 'Don't Do It!'
By David Moye - AOL NewsThousands of people are currently applying to be Charlie Sheen's social media intern, but a few PR pros believe that sometimes the best prayers are those that are unanswered. The controversial -- and former -- "Two and a Half Men" star just posted an application asking for a social media intern. According to the job post, Sheen wants a "hardworking, self-motivated, creative, resourceful and social media savvy individual to work closely with him to leverage his social network." TwitPic Charlie Sheen is looking for a social media intern to help compose tweets and, presumably, take ...
Amid Turmoil, Arizona State Thrives
By Jim Henry - AOL NewsLet's give college baseball's No. 1 national seed Arizona State credit. The Sun Devils are not easily distracted. ASU has returned to the College World Series for the second consecutive year, a favorite at least to win its bracket and reach the best-of-three championship series. Yet, the Sun Devils could have been excused if they had bowed out earlier in the NCAA Tournament or had been written off during the regular season. ASU has survived an awkward preseason coaching change, looming NCAA punishment, a season-ending injury to its projected top pitcher and a difficult Pac-10 schedule. Not ...
UCLA Brings the Best Pitching Staff to Omaha for College World Series
By Jim Henry - AOL NewsIt's a matter of style and, in some cases, the luck of the draw. Even so, while UCLA coach John Savage quickly admits that teams have relied on various methods to reach the College World Series, he believes the field's eight programs share a common trait: pitching. That certainly bodes well for the Bruins because, if numbers don't lie, they will have the best staff in Omaha, Neb. UCLA's team ERA of 2.97 ranks second nationally behind Texas, which didn't qualify. Bruins pitchers pound the strike zone, limit freebies and challenge hitters. "Pitching is how you get to Omaha these days," Savage ...
Obama Eludes Alan Keyes, Speaks at Arizona State's Graduation
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyYou've won this round, Obama!That's all Alan Keyes, our nation's presidential-protester-in-chief (sorry Glenn Beck), can say after Barack Obama circumvented his ongoing vigil at Notre Dame and delivered Arizona State University's commencement address before Keyes even had a chance to get arrested in Tempe.Keyes' history with Obama is both long and bizarre, and it includes:* Carpet-bagging to Illinois from his native Maryland to oppose Obama in the 2004 U.S. Senate election. Voters rewarded him with a generous 27% of the vote.* Opposing Obama in the 2008 presidential election, and losing an ...
Arizona State Neutral on Hawaii, Notre Dame
By Scott Olin Schmidt - AOL NewsThe Arizona State Sun Devils are not--repeat ARE NOT--talking to anyone wearing green these days. ASU denies reports by Hawaii's athletic director that it had offered the Sun Devils to test out the new Dennis Erickson regime in an October 20th matchup in Honolulu. When Michigan State opted out of its game against Hawaii-paying the Rainbow Warriors a quarter-million dollar cancellation fee, Hawaii went looking for an opponent that Heisman Candidate Colt Brennan show off against. Hawaii had reportedly offered seven-figures to entice the Sun Devils but to no avail. I think this may be the first ...
Spring Practice Questions: Arizona State Sun Devils
By Scott Olin Schmidt - AOL NewsLast Year: 7-6, UnrankedFans Are: Unable to get into any schools in California.Expectations: Win a game in the Golden StateQuestions: 1. What happened to those Norm Chow rumors? After firing head coach Dirk Koetter last year, ASU athletic director Lisa Love flirted with bringing Tennessee Titans' head coach Norm Chow to Tempe. Instead, she chose journeyman coach Dennis Erickson who came to the desert after one year at the University of Idaho. 2. So is this Dennis Erickson's last year as head coach of Arizona State? You never know. It seems there isn't a team in football that this guy hasn't ...
Erickson Moves Burgess to Wide Receiver
By Scott Olin Schmidt - AOL NewsDennis Erickson has not coached a game yet for the Arizona State Sun Devils, but the wayward head coach is already making an imprint on the program. Erickson has announced he'll be moving running back Rudy Burgess back to wide receiver for his Senior year. Erickson had recruited Burgess to Oregon State as a wide receiver, but Rudy chose the Sun Devils, who shifted him to running back in 2004, when he racked up 186 yards on 34 carried against Stanford. Asked by the Arizona Republic if Burgess could play both ways, Erickson responded, "It's not fair for him (Burgess) as far as having a great ...
Koetter, Hawkins Offer Contrasts for ASU, Colorado
By Scott Olin Schmidt - AOL NewsGoing in to this weekend's match-up between Arizona State and Colorado, one coach is 2-0 this season and the other is 0-2, despite playing a Division 1-AA team to start the season. But the difference in their records isn't the only thing separating Arizona State's Dirk Koetter and the Buffaloes' Dan Hawkins.Although the two coaches' careers have intertwined, they couldn't be more different, writes the Arizona Republic, " Dirk Koetter is a CEO type, like Donald Trump. Dan Hawkins is a philosopher masquerading as a coach, like Phil Jackson." But as the past few Lakers' seasons have proven it ...
