Students campaign for upcoming elections

Parents head back to school

UA families see life through students’ point of view By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT College life in the year 2010 bears little resemblance to the college days of years past — a fact that Family Weekend tries to prove to UA parents. UA classes are open to parents and are the first activity to start off this year’s Family Weekend, put on in part by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

For more information… The weekend’s events, starting with registration and UA classes open to parents, are listed on the ASUA or CSIL websites under Family Weekend. Find the site at: union.arizona.edu “It started because parents wanted to know a day in the life of the UA students,” said Lindsay Baille, associate director for customer relations of Family Weekend. Planning for Family Weekend started in May, but Friday entertainment plans posed problems because classes are still in session. PARENTS, page 3

State Attorney General Terry Goddard, Democratic gubernatorial candidate, speaks to students at the Young Democrats rally on the UA Mall on Monday.

Interns, volunteers play crucial role in connecting cadidates to youth By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students spend anywhere from a few hours of volunteer work to 40 hours a week campaigning for the upcoming elections on Nov. 2. Mihai Samartinean, a senior majoring in philosophy and history, is an intern for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry Goddard. He said he was not particularly politically aware before starting the internship this summer. “I really wasn’t,” Samartinean said. “I voted for Obama. That was the extent of my political career before this.” Samartinean was looking for an extracurricular activity in which he could

earn school credit. He heard about the opportunity through an email and researched Goddard’s platform. “I didn’t think I could work for someone who didn’t have my same ideology,” Samartinean said. Samartinean now spends 10 to 15 hours a week organizing events and making phone calls. “Pretty much anything that needs to be done with the campaign, we’re there,” Samartinean said. Other students join campaigns because they are passionate about the stances of a politician or party.

Republicans, searched for a way to join the campaign of Jesse Kelly, Republican candidate in Arizona’s Congressional District 8. “I sought him out,” Terry said. “After I got out of the military, I followed the campaign.” Terry said he previously helped with other political campaigns but has a strong interest in Kelly’s platforms. “For most candidates, there tend to be one or two issues you disagree with,” Terry said. “With Jesse, I have yet to find that.” Terry has volunteered for the campaign since February and said he puts

Students won’t be allowed to keep the caps of their water bottles inside the Arizona Stadium on Saturday. Instead, concession workers will remove bottle tops before handing the item over to purchasers at the east stadium concessions and the north and south concession stands. “It was a commitment we made as a reactionary response to the Oregon game of last year,” said Suzy Mason, events coordinator for Arizona Athletics. “They became projectiles, and we had some issues with folks getting injured, not only at the Oregon game and at the Iowa game, and people working on the field being hit with projectiles.” A UAPD officer was hit in the leg by a

‘First-and-10 Arizona!’ 2003 UA graduate announces Arizona football games By Michelle A. Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A UA alumnus’ voice booms through the stadium announcing Arizona’s movements across the field. Jody Oehler, the public address announcer for the Arizona football team, graduated from the UA in 2003 with a degree in communication. “A lot of people are just weirded out because I sound like I’m significantly older than I actually am,” Oehler said. “Most people think I’m like 55 … I don’t know how it happened to be honest, I used

to answer the phone and people would think I was my mom for a while, it just happened. One of those things.” Oehler gets to the stadium two to two and a half hours before kickoff. “You know, it’s a football game. I’m a U of A alum, but I’m also at work so I have to sort of get programmed that I’m there to do a job,” Oehler said. “It’s a different experience for me than the students or fans.” He still walks around the tailgating areas on some days to “soak up the atmosphere,” then the real work begins.

Double feature at Gallagher Theatre, two of the summer’s most popular films “Toy Story 3” and “Twilight: Eclipse” will play starting at 7 p.m.

“There’s two primary functions of doing the PA for football: One is all of the stadium announcements like concessions, rules, Pac-10 Code of Conduct and those I’m really familiar with because they don’t change,” and the other is “announcing what’s happening on the field.” One of the hardest parts of the job is learning to pronounce the players’ names. “I’ve got to meet with the opposing team before the game and figure out how to pronounce their names so I’m

pre-business freshman I just took a test and some pretty irritating things were going on. What’s the most annoying thing that’s happened to you when you are trying to take a test? Oh, when someone is tapping to their pencil next to me constantly and they don’t stop. I cannot focus. Oh, and also when the teacher walks around constantly and keeps looking at you because they want to see if you are cheating, I mean I understand, but stop staring at me. If a guy that you were really into and you were so excited to go on a date with took you to a zoo or an aquarium, how would you react? I actually think it would be kind of fun because it’s original, not just going to dinner and a movie, but if you aren’t really into that stuff, then just make the best out of it because it’s not really about where you go, it’s who you’re with. What is the coolest date you have ever been on? I was in Aspen, Colorado, and we went day hiking, and we went to the top of the mountain and hiked down and had a picnic in the middle of nowhere. It was really cool. You got spoiled. Whatever happened to that guy? We’re good friends. Oh, bummer. If you had a million dollars to spend on just yourself what would you buy? I am obsessed with accessories and clothes so probably just a ton of accessories and clothes and maybe something extravagant, like a yacht or something fun like a really cool apartment in Chicago, or something. And if you could give those million dollars to a charity or some sort of organization who would you donate to? Well I’m in Theta and we support Casa, so I would give some money to that, but also I really like MakeA-Wish a lot, and Tri-Delt does St. Jude’s so I would give money to them and also for people that need help in New Orleans because they are still recovering. Even though it is like years later, they still need help. So your most primary worldly concern is children in need? Yeah, and also people that need help and have nowhere to turn to. I am fortunate enough, and most people at Arizona are fortunate enough to where they can get help if they need it, especially with financial aid and stuff; but some people just don’t have options, which is where we need to step in and help them. — Caroline Nachazel

Brown associate calls Whitman a ‘whore’ McClatchy Newspapers LOS ANGELES — In a private conversation that was inadvertently taped by a voicemail machine, an associate of California Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown can be heard referring to his Republican opponent Meg Whitman as a “whore” for cutting a deal protecting law enforcement pensions as the two candidates competed for police endorsements. The comment came after Brown called the Los Angeles Police Protective League in early September to ask for its

endorsement. He left a voicemail message for Scott Rate, a union official. Brown apparently believed he had hung up the phone, but the connection remained intact and the voice mail machine captured an ensuing conversation between Brown and his aides. With evident frustration, Brown discussed the pressure he was under to refuse to reduce public safety pensions or lose law enforcement endorsements to Whitman. Months earlier, Whitman had agreed to exempt public safety officials from key parts of her pension reform plan.

“Do we want to put an ad out? ... That I have been warned if I crack down on pensions, I will be — that they’ll go to Whitman, and that’s where they’ll go because they know Whitman will give ‘em, will cut them a deal, but I won’t,” Brown said. At that point, what appears to be a second voice interjects: “What about saying she’s a whore?” “Well, I’m going to use that,” Brown responds. “It proves you’ve cut a secret deal to protect the pensions.” The tape was released to the Los Angeles Times by the Los Angeles police union.

Tucson hosts journalism conference By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT More than 90 journalism historians from all over the nation will gather for panel discussions, presentations, award ceremonies and paper sessions at The Hotel Arizona. The 30th annual American Journalism History Association conference will be held in downtown Tucson beginning on Thursday until Saturday. Thursday featured a 10 a.m. panel on the history of immigration coverage. Later that day, Carmen Duarte was awarded the Local Media History award for her dedication to her many journalistic appeals to minority groups — specifically Hispanics. Duarte is a former graduate of the UA School of Journalism, and has worked for the Arizona Daily Star since 1981. Duarte also wrote a series of memoirs of her mother’s life called “Mama’s Santos: An Arizona Life,” which earned her credibility and appraisal from many.

Linda Lumsden, assistant professor and director of Graduate Studies, spoke at the award ceremony and said besides Duarte “being a wonderful writer and a wonderful journalist, she’s also a wonderful person who is a fantastic representation that lives by the standards we value at the School of Journalism.” Today, Margaret Regan, a journalist with the Tucson Weekly and author of the book “Death of Josseline: Immigration Stories from the ArizonaMexico Borderlands,” will be speaking at a luncheon. Other panels and discussions for the day will include topics like war, recent passage of Arizona’s anti-immigration law, the American Southwest, regional segregation, media coverage of the Mexican Revolution, border life and many more. The AJHA discussion panels held at Hotel Arizona are free to attend; however, members must have registered in order to attend all events.

Officials hope removing caps lessens liability

water bottle thrown by a UA student at the game against Iowa on Sept. 18. The University of Arizona Police Department recommended the switch as well. “The reason we recommended that is, if someone has a plastic bottle, they can fill it with something to make it heavier, so when it’s thrown, it has more mass to it. The idea behind not having the cap is if it is thrown, the item in it will fall out and be less than the original,” said UAPD Public Information Officer Sgt. Juan Alvarez. The Arizona Board of Regents approved the UA’s request to not give caps to customers at select concession stands. Concessions workers aren’t in favor of the

new protocol. “They targeted the sections where the ammo was being thrown,” said Brett Brestel, director for Athletic Concessions. “It’s an extra hassle. Imagine this last game. We probably had to take off easily 25,000 bottle caps. Let me tell you, you get some blisters.” Students think the change won’t affect the bottle throwers. “Some people are just stupid and will do it anyways,” said Alex Neff, a psychology freshman. Other students feel it’s unfair to people who purchase water and have the bottle knocked over, wasting their money.

Tradition bridges generational gap

“We have to take into account sound because students are still in classes, so if we would like to play music, we have to put our entertainment activities later on in the day,” Baille said. Diversity and access are also main features of this year’s Family Weekend. Activities like the Wildcat World Fair, Think Tank information tables and tours of Career Services and the UA campus accompany back-to-school activities for parents. There has been little complaint from professors, as most know of the weekend’s festivities, and most parents

feel enlightened by the experience. “For parents, they see how much it takes nowadays. It is just a lot of work,” Baille said. “For (professors), they see the parents are really interested in what students do on campus.” Baille, a liaison between ASUA and the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, sees the yearly tradition as a way to bridge the gap. “It is open to everyone in the community, and we are having people from all over come out. It is a good event for everybody (because) it connects the student life to the parents,” Baille said.

Woman is charged after 4-year-old daughter eats pot-laced brownie MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — A 19-yearold South San Francisco woman is facing a child endangerment charge after her 4-year-old daughter ate a brownie laced with marijuana, a prosecutor said. Marisela Guadalupe Barraza first came under suspicion when she brought the child to her sister’s South San Francisco home Sept. 26, Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. The 21-year-old sister noticed the daughter had slow speech, droopy eyelids and was acting strangely. When confronted by the sister, Barraza replied that her daughter had eaten a pot brownie earlier in the day, Wagstaffe said. Barraza later told police it was not

her fault because the child grabbed the drugged dessert before she could stop her. The woman added that marijuana should be legal, he said. Barraza and the child spent the night at the sister’s home. The next day, Barraza went out for unknown reasons and the sister, on advice from a family member, took the daughter to a hospital. A blood test showed the little girl had marijuana in her system, Wagstaffe said. Police were soon called. The sister told officers the girl’s mother was addicted to marijuana and had behaved irresponsibly with the child in the past, Wagstaffe said. Barraza pleaded not guilty Sept. 29 in San Mateo County Superior Court to the misdemeanor charge. She is being held in lieu of $7,500 bail.

Hasta la vista, House Dems Remy Albillar Arizona Daily Wildcat

’m starting to feel like John Connor. Any time I hear my friends or strangers talk about politics; I feel a creeping sense of inevitability that prevents me from feeling motivated to contribute. My peers comment on all the “awesome stuff Obama’s going to be able to do in the second half of his term” with the enthusiasm of those completely oblivious to what an evil military wireless network has in store for them. “Wait,” I attempt to ask with a furrowed brow, “who’s passing what?” Just look at the numbers. I have detailed files. First off, both the Rasmussmen Report and The Huffington Post’s “Pollster.com” predicts the same thing: the Republicans are gettin’ some, Senate seats-wise, pushing their numbers to 48 in total. This would leave their Democrat rivals with an equal or slightly lower number of seats, making the president’s health care-passing glory days are at their end. Yes, I’ll concede, “polls are polls.” However, with all the attention this November election is building from usurp-hopeful Republican candidates, it’s obvious that some of the Senatorial boys of blue are updating their resume and drafting concession speeches in their sleep. Even Messiah Barack Obama and Vice-Messiah Joe Biden have stepped into stem the red tide. An Oct. 5 article from The New York Times reports that the President’s scolding tone at fund-raisers and rallies “highlights the depth of disaffection among liberals over what they see as his failure to aggressively push for the change he promised.” Don’t relax yet, Democrat-leaning Wildcat reader. The GOP surge doesn’t stop there. The same sets of polls predict a final gubernatorial count of Republicans: 29, Democrats: 16, and 5 toss-up states. Zoom in on our own desert Eden if you’d like a preview of the new status quo. Gov. Jan Brewer is still showing an approval rating of 55 percent, down only 5 percent from right after she signed S.B. 1070 into law, compared to prodigal son Terry Goddard’s 39 percent. Likewise, The New York Times’ gubernatorial election site predicts a 98 percent chance of Brewer keeping her job. The Republicans are much like the Terminator ’s network of machines this year. They are highly motivated to destroy their opposition, they are cooperating like a hive mind, and they probably have little regard for sustainable resources. Likewise, their ascension to dominance is inevitable. I know that’s bad news for a lot of you. What are you going to do about it? Vote? Sure. OK. I’m not saying your vote doesn’t count. It totally does. It’s just probably not going to make a difference. If you really wanted to change the world, you should have started earlier and gotten involved in volunteering for some election campaign instead of going to Club Congress every weekend. Now you’re getting what you deserve. So get ready for this country getting two, maybe three shades redder in the next few years. Sorry if you’re into gay rights, government-funded civil services, marijuana bills, increased gun control or pro-choice abortion rights. None of that is going to be passing any time soon. Don’t blame me, my disappointed, left-wing Wildcats. If only you had tried harder. On the bright side, this will motivate a good deal of you to start protests on Fourth Avenue, since it’s close to the bars. Your tacky, ironic protest signs and brightly colored leggings should lead the police right towards you. YouTube gold is guaranteed to ensue. — Remy Albillar is a senior majoring in English and creative writing. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

MAILBAG Parties equally to blame for state of the U.S. economy

In response to Pat Takash’s opinion letter, “Brewer, Republicans didn’t create Arizona’s Problem”: Pat Takash is only a third correct. Republicans share just as much of the blame of the state of the United States as the Democrats do. The two bourgeois parties will beg for your vote during campaign season, only to ignore the people after Election Day. Takash’s arguments clearly show signs of a lack of research. The federal government has addressed the immigration issue but never against the corporate interest. The establishment of NAFTA and corporate coaxing of immigrants has brought about a huge surplus of illegal immigration. Takash also needs to see the documentary “I.O.U.S.A.,” which clearly explains why tax cuts do not increase revenue. Takash also makes the claim that Obama has increased the national debt by $4 trillion. However, the national debt has had its largest increases during the Regan administration. Although, the Democrats are just as responsible for removing welfare, engaging in warfare and diminishing the middle class. These two parties are corporately financed, resulting in practices that satisfy the corporate interest, which usually conflicts with the public interest. Takash claims that this country was built on capitalism, but what he doesn’t realize it was almost destroyed by it as well. During the heart of the Great Depression, FDR had to introduce policies that allowed the government to intervene in the market, creating the minimum wage and other arrays of worker benefits, to avoid a rebellion from the growing populist movement. The last party to share the blame is the people for believing and voting for the two-faced parties that continuously act against the people’s interest. It is time to ditch these to capitalistic parities and support others that are not married to the corporate complex.

Fox News column rife with fallacies

I must confess that I find it highly disturbing when anyone, let alone a journalism student, believes that sources of media with which he or she disagrees are “destructive to America.” I subscribe to Oliver Wendell Holmes’ philosophy of the “marketplace of ideas”, where media consumers are free to choose content from a variety media providers. Words may be offensive, perverse, etc. but not destructive. Regardless, the column “Fox News may be biased, but Obama should let it be” contains three glaring errors: Firstly, it is contradictory. For example, it exhorts Obama to avoid demeaning a news organization because “the moment we stop questioning those in power, is the moment we lose control of this country to our government,” which is a perfectly reasonable assertion, and acknowledges that “nobody keeps the government more honest than Fox News” and that “the network is to be commended for it.” Yet, concludes by describing Fox News as destructive to America. Is keeping the government honest destructive? Secondly, it begs the question. It argues that “it is common knowledge that Fox News in some capacity pushes the Republican agenda” and that “Fox News is not predicated on being objective.” Proof please? Even an anecdote? Suffice it to say, any time you need to use the expressions “it is common knowledge” or “no one is arguing,” you have exited the realm of critical thought and entered the kingdom of vacuous babble. Lastly, the article contains a glaring factual error, which leads me to believe the author never watches Fox News and is relying on such outfits as MediaMatters for insight. In it’s cursory list of “colorful commentators”, it lists “Bill O’Reilly, Nancy Grace, and Sean Hannity.” Nancy Grace is, of course, a news fixture, but does not receive a paycheck from Fox News. Try CNN. I would expect a journalism student to know where well-known news commentators work. Oh well.

There’s a fine line between free speech and hate speech Kristina Bui Arizona Daily Wildcat

don’t know how to defend the constitutional rights of everyone, including scummy bloggers on the Internet, without feeling a little bit dirty when I feel compelled to defend someone I loathe. Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell recently took a leave of absence after drawing national attention to his blog, Chris Armstrong Watch. The blog, which is now only available to “invited readers,” monitored University of Michigan student body president Chris Armstrong, who is gay. In one blog post, Shirvell posted a video of the police breaking up a party hosted by Armstrong. He’d recorded it at 1:30 a.m., while camping in front of Armstrong’s house. Called, “Ann Arbor Police Raid Chris Armstrong’s ‘Gay Rush’ Welcome Week Party, 9-5-10,” the YouTube video was just one demonstration of Shirvell’s obsession. In another post, he drew a swastika on a photo of Armstrong and accused him repeatedly of being a “racist elitist” promoting a “radical homosexual agenda.” There’s been enough childish speculation on the Internet about how Shirvell is

secretly a self-hating closeted homosexual with a crush on Armstrong. Let’s focus on what we know and should really care about: Shirvell is a grown man who essentially Facebook-stalked a bunch of college kids, staked out someone’s home late at night, carelessly used words like “Nazi” to describe his target and suggested “homosexual” is a word that should evoke fear. Shirvell could use a history lesson about Nazi views on homosexuality. And an explanation for why “homosexual” is not a word that should frighten people. In an interview with Anderson Cooper, Shirvell defended his actions by claiming he was a Christian exercising his First Amendment rights against a political campaign. Addressing Cooper as “Chris” throughout the interview was probably just another exercise in free speech. Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox called Shirvell’s behavior immature but said he could not fire him because it was afterhours and protected by the First Amendment. I’m all for your First Amendment rights, but they’re stomping all over my sense of decency, and I don’t know how to reconcile the two.

Legally speaking, perhaps Shirvell was within his constitutional rights. He did not advocate violence against Armstrong or violate obscenity laws, despite how questionable it was to draw a swastika on top of a gay pride flag in a photo of Armstrong. But Shirvell is propping up a shield and hiding behind it. He accuses Armstrong of promoting a radical agenda, then resorts to personal attacks and stalking. Shirvell’s tactics are not acceptable from anyone — but especially from a public figure who ought to understand that what he does even on his own time can be legal without being right. The First Amendment is not an invitation for harassment, and Christianity is not a justification for it. If Cox cannot fire Shirvell on the grounds of cyberbullying or harassment, then I propose we turn the tables and demand Shirvell’s resignation. Shirvell must resign, not because of his sexual orientation or juvenile comments on his Facebook, but because he’s completely unsuited for public office. Free from work, Shirvell can spend even more time exercising his First Amendment rights as a private citizen, and the rest of us have one less lunatic in office to worry about. Everyone wins. — Kristina Bui is a sophomore majoring in journalism and political science. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

in between 30 to 40 hours a week making phone calls and visiting voters door-to-door, among other activities. He said he is also motivated to help the Republican Party. “My goal right now is to get as many conservatives elected as possible. All 435 seats in Congress are up this year,” Terry said. “Why not start at home?” Linguistics sophomore Andrew Ziesig is employed by the campaign for Kent Solberg, a Green Party candidate for state Legislature. Ziesig said he works on the campaign between 10 and 20 hours each week. “Right now, we’re trying to raise awareness,” Ziesig said. Ziesig said he worked with the Green Party in New York and wanted to continue in Tucson. “I saw that the Green Party here needed help,” Ziesig said. Ziesig said he campaigns for Solberg in his district, which does not encompass the UA

campus. He tries to inform students about the party’s goals. “I try to promote the Green Party more widely,” Ziesig said. The students said their campaign work finds its way into everyday life. “It does blend, especially with social networking,” said Samartinean, who posts Facebook statuses about campaign events. “You’re more excited, so you bring it up in conversation. I never would have brought it up in conversation before.” John Ellinwood, director of communications for the Kelly campaign, said campaigns benefits from tech-savvy students. “The mobile technology — photos, Twitter — that’d be the biggest thing,” Ellinwood said. He said college students help with tasks like taking and uploading pictures of an event. “That’s probably a younger volunteer,” Ellinwood said. Ellinwood said campaign work also benefits students

by providing insight into the political process. Both Terry and Samartinean said they have considered politics as possible career paths. “This did help. Getting an inside view of it has been really good,” Samartinean said. For some students, interning at a campaign has led to paid positions. Samantha Frisby, outreach coordinator for the Goddard for Governor campaign in Southern Arizona, is taking a semester off from the UA to work on the campaign. Frisby said her work on other campaigns provided valuable networking opportunities. “Now I have a job on the campaign,” Frisby said. Samartinean said he benefited from his internship even if he does not continue in politics afterward. “You do get politically involved, which is important,” Samartinean said. “I definitely will stay more connected.”

not butchering anybody’s last name because nobody likes to hear their name mispronounced,” Oehler said. “Believe me, my last name is hard to pronounce so I’m particularly sensitive to that.” Some names are hard to get through though. “(Marvin) McNutt was probably one of the more challenging names to get through as a professional, but its his name; you can’t do a lot about it,” he said. The UA has its own list of curve ball names. “I did initially (practice names), but now Lolomana Mikaele is like announcing Ben Smith to me,” Oehler said. “With names like that, I just repeat their names over and over and over again when I’m first learning how to pronounce them. There are still a

few that I’ll just go check.” Oehler “keeps it simple” when announcing games. “People always ask me, ‘Oh do you have catch phrases?’ And I want to keep it very simple to the game. I’m there to describe the action and announce it and not be a part of the action,” Oehler said. He has been announcing the games for four years. “I remember my first year, my first scrimmage … the first two times I had a chance to do PA was the spring game and the fall scrimmage, and I remember doing it and it’s intense: you’re calling the action in the stadium and you have to be instantaneous and it was an adjustment and I’m glad I got it,” he said. “It’s a really fun job, so as long as they think I’m the right person for the job, I’d love to keep doing it.”

A man with no UA affiliation was arrested for two confirmed UA warrants on Wednesday. At about 2:34 p.m. an officer was on bike patrol in the area of Old Main when he noticed a man stop by two women, apparently college students, who were walking north. One of the women started reaching inside of her backpack as the man waited. The officer rode within 20 feet of the man when he noticed the officer ’s presence and moved to leave the area. The officer made contact with him and asked him to stop. “OK, I was asking her for money, but I did not take any,” the man said. The officer asked for the man’s identification. The man retrieved his wallet from his back pocket and handed him an Arizona ID card. Before the officer asked any questions the man said he knew he couldn’t be on campus asking people for money. At this time, dispatch advised the officer that the man had two active warrants from UAPD. The warrants were confirmed. At 2:40 p.m. the man was taken under full custodial arrest. The officer handcuffed and searched him before placing him in the back of a patrol car. The man was booked in Pima County Jail for one count of failure to appear on original charge of trespassing and one charge of failure to appear with the original charge of possession of stolen property. No evidence of property taken.

Keys and CatCard stolen from Rec Center

A UAPD officer received notice a student had his keys and CatCard stolen from the Student Recreation Center at 8:29 p.m. on Wednesday. The officer went to meet the student in the parking lot of the center but was unable to locate the man. A few hours later the student re-contacted UAPD communication to make his report via telephone. The student told the officer his keys and CatCard had been stolen while he was playing basketball at the recreation center. He had left his keys on the side of the court at 4:15 p.m., and when he was done playing at 6:30 p.m., they were missing. The student walked home, got the spare keys for his vehicle and came back to campus to get his car. The officer advised the student to contact the CatCard office and report his card stolen.

Cable lock cut once again

A UAPD officer was alerted of a stolen bicycle while on duty as a community service officer at 8:53 p.m. on Wednesday. The officer contacted the owner of the bicycle, who had reported the incident, via telephone to get his report. The student said he had last seen his bicycle at 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 30, when he had locked it with a cable lock. He returned at about 1 p.m. on Monday and noticed it was missing. The student gave the officer a description of the bicycle. He was unable to provide a serial number and stated the bike was not registered with Parking and Transportation Services. There were no suspects or witnesses.

GAME DAY Wildcats go for 5-0

Staff picks

Offense looks to get back on track while defense tries to stay on top By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Starting out the year a perfect 5-0 is something the Arizona Wildcats haven’t done since Dick Tomey was the head football coach in 1998 . So it’s only fitting that Tomey — the winningest football coach in Arizona history — would be honored this weekend with the John Button Salmon Award for outstanding service . “I think it’s good that Dick is coming back,” current head coach Mike Stoops said. “He’s meant a lot to this community, and I think philosophically we’re similar in a lot of our beliefs, so I’m glad. I think it will be a great environment for him to be recognized.” The environment will be a capacity crowd for the second time this year for the Wildcats (4-0, 1-0 Pacific 10 Conference), who close out a four-game home stand against the Oregon State Beavers tomorrow at 4 p.m. A perfect record isn’t the only thing on the line for the Wildcats, who also boast a perfect home record, a perfect conference record and a perfect rushing red-zone defense. “It will be a great game for us to finish 2-0 in the Pac-10, 5-0 overall record — that will be a great thing for us,” cornerback Robert Golden said. “That’s what we’re trying to do: go out there and get after it.” The Beavers (2-2, 1-0) are trying to perfect something of their own — a winning streak. After losing to Texas Christian in their opening week, the Beavers bounced back against Louisville. That success didn’t FOOTBALL, page A8

Arizona vs. OSU

Tim Kosch sports editor My gut feeling all week was that Arizona was going to lose this game. No particular reason why, but Oregon State is better than people think and Arizona is probably due for a letdown. But then I got to thinking about this Arizona team, and who says it will fall victim to the bogus losses that it has in years past? The main difference is the defense – it’s amazing. It really is. It’s disciplined, it’s well-coached and it’s fast. Arizona generally doesn’t belong in the same conversation as Alabama or other powerhouse schools in the country, but the defense the Wildcats trot out everyday is every bit as good as those schools. That’s why they’re the No. 9 team in the country and the No. 2 defense. It’s also why they’ll win tomorrow. Arizona 27, Oregon State 10

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Quarterback Nick Foles was out of his element against California two weeks ago, only leading one touchdown drive and even being forced to throw with his left hand on more than one occasion. Foles and the rest of the Wildcats offense will need to score more points this weekend if they plan to beat Oregon State.

Breakdown: Arizona vs. Oregon State Keys to the game

Players to watch

Arizona

Contain, contain, contain The incredible talent and athleticism of the Rodgers brothers gets brought up far too often, but there’s a pretty good reason for it — they really are that talented and athletic. Few players can turn on a dime as quickly as they can, and they seem to turn a minus play into a plus play every time they have the ball. With that in mind, Arizona needs to stay home and honor its run fits on every play. The Wildcats have done a shockingly good job of eliminating cutback lanes so far this season — really, watch the tape. It’s jaw dropping — and that has to be the case on Saturday as well. Execute on special teams This should be a close game, meaning special teams will be key. Most of the breaks have gone in Arizona’s favor this season — Iowa’s blocked extra point and Cal’s missed field goal — but the Wildcats’ special teams play hasn’t been great. William “Bug” Wright has had a case of the drops all season on offense, and it’s carried over into special teams, but he has been the last player off the field every practice because he’s taking extra reps off the JUGS machine. Keep an eye on punter Keenyn Crier. He’s been mediocre at best this year, and OSU’s James Rodgers might be the most dangerous punt returner in the nation. Crier needs to keep the ball away from him, and the punt and kick coverage teams must stay in their lanes to negate Rodgers’ return ability. Establish the run game Arizona has escaped its poor running game so far this season, but the ill effects are starting to show. As talented as Nick Foles and his receivers are, it’s impossible to have a good passing game without a good running game. The Wildcats’ 120.3 yards per game ranks just ninth in the Pac-10 and 93rd in the country, and that won’t cut it against Oregon State’s talented front seven, led by defensive tackle Stephen Paea. Oregon State does allow 194.8 yards per game, so the possibility to run successfully is there. The Wildcats will need to penetrate the Beavers if they plan on getting any action on offense tomorrow. Paul Vassallo

Oregon State

Jacquizz and James Rodgers The Beavers’ offense goes as far as James and Jacquizz Rodgers take it. Oregon State and its pro-style offense does whatever it takes to get the ball to the brother duo, and rightfully so. Junior running back Jacquizz Rodgers is coming off of a 145-yard, two-touchdown game against ASU and is in the conversation for top running back in the conference. Senior wideout James Rodgers is returning after missing last week’s game with a concussion, but is at full health. Both players are listed at only 5-foot-7, but use their speed and ability to shift gears to shred apart defenses. Both can run and catch equally well, while James Rodgers is stellar as a return man and is the Oregon State all-time leader in all-purpose yards. Keep your eye on these speedsters, which should be no problem considering they have combined for over 40 percent of the team’s total yards and over 50 percent of its touchdowns this season. Ryan Katz The sophomore quarterback looked like a first-time starter against top-5 defenses in Texas Christian University and Boise State early in the season. But the big-arm quarterback settled down and turned in his best game as a starter against ASU last weekend, throwing for 260 yards and two scores. Katz has one of the biggest arms in the country and has no shortage of options in the passing game. In fact, ESPN.com’s Bruce Feldman said he hadn’t seen anyone outside of Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett with a bigger arm than Katz. Arizona’s defense, however, ranks first in the Pac-10 in passing defense. Something has to give. It will be interesting to see how the 6-foot-1 sophomore handles his first trip to Tucson in front of the ZonaZoo. If he can get comfortable in the pocket and find time to throw, Arizona could be scrambling. Stephen Paea The defensive end has one of the most interesting stories in all of college football. Paea is a native of the Kingdom of Tonga — a series of 169 islands found in the South Pacific Ocean. After growing up playing rugby, moving to the states and not picking up football until his senior year of high school, Paea is now one of the premier defensive tackles in the country. He played only year at Snow College before transferring to Oregon State and is in his fifth year of football. He’s quick, explosive and ridiculously strong. He’s also become a Youtube sensation, bench-pressing 225 pounds 44 straight times — the NFL combine record is 45. He has 23 career tackles for a loss, 10 career sacks KEYS, page A12

Mike Schmitz sports writer It’s easy to overlook Oregon State by glancing at its record (2-2). But once you look deeper it becomes clear that this game has upset written all over it. The Beavers are well tested, having played TCU tight and squaring off against then-No. 3 Boise State. Playing teams of that caliber, along with two top-3 defenses definitely made them a better team, and it showed against ASU, when they shredded an impressive Sun Devil defense while sacking Steven Threet six times. The Beavers are surging while the Wildcats are a few plays away from being 2-2. It’s going to be tight, but OSU pulls off the upset on Family Weekend. Oregon State 31, Arizona 28

Nicole Dimtsios sports writer Arizona is trying to stay perfect this season and prove its top-10 worth, while the Beavers are trying to turn their season around. James and Jacquizz Rodgers will be the best duo to test Arizona’s No. 2 defense at home. It will be the defense again that saves the Wildcats at the end, even though the game will be painfully close throughout. Quarterback Nick Foles and the offense get things going early, and the defense will work all game to quell the Rogers brothers. Arizona 31, Oregon State 17

Soccer opens up Pac-10 schedule against Washington, Washington State By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona Wildcats soccer team will turn the page and start a new chapter of the 2010 season this weekend. Head coach Lisa Oyen knows that after kickoff on Friday night in Seattle, when Arizona (4-5-2) squares off with Washington, and on Sunday at Washington State (5-6), it will mark the beginning of part two of Arizona’s schedule. “Talking to other coaches around the country, I think everyone sees the start of conference play as kind of the start of a second season. It’s a way to get in the tournament. It’s about the pride of playing for your conference, and right now the (Pacific 10 Conference) is so good that it’s exciting for us to get in that mix,” Oyen said. “By the time you get to the Pac-10 schedule, your team has developed a little more, and you’re hopefully playing your best against the best.” Now in the middle of a modest two game winning streak, the Wildcats used their nonconference slate to tweak and fiddle with their roster in order to find the most dangerous eleven players before entering this weekend. But the Huskies (7-3-1) will be a dangerous threat to Arizona’s run, and Oyen talked about how her team would not have the luxuries of making mistakes like they did in non-conference games.

“The style of soccer we’re going to see is going to be a little more sophisticated. You just have to know that the quality of play is really, really high, and the margin for error is very, very low,” Oyen said. The Pac-10 is undeniably the nation’s super conference from top to bottom, with five teams from the conference currently ranked in the top 25. Each game poses an opportunity for any team to upset the other, and one of the challenges for the Wildcats will be sustaining a maximum effort every minute of every match. “You have to be conscious of every decision you make, because an example is last year we played (Washington State) and let up one shot on goal. It was a PK, and we lost 1-0,” Oyen said. “Those are the kind of games you see in conference where it takes one mistake, and it’s such a tight game both ways that all it takes is one team capitalizing on a mistake, and that’s the result of the game.” With a slew of freshmen like Jazmin Ponce, Ana Montoya and Jensen Skinner, who have all played significant roles on the field, the heightened pressure might be expected to bring out some first-year jitters, especially in their first conference games on the road. But Arizona’s freshmen haven’t played timid all year, earning the praise of Arizona’s coaches and veteran players for the maturity and poise they displayed in the

Mike Christie/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Freshman Jazmin Ponce, middle, and the Wildcats will need to improve their offensive attack this weekend when they play Washington tonight to open up the Pacific 10 Conference season. The Wildcats will then travel to Washington State on Saturday.

Wildcats hope to ride hot goaltending and defense, two game win streak to overtake Huskies, Cougars non-conference games. Oyen didn’t expect butterflies or nervous mistakes from her young team this weekend but thought that the Wildcats have been waiting for the stakes to be raised and

expected her team to perform when the lights shine the brightest. “We’ve played against some teams that are ranked nationally this year, and I think the players feel like they’ve competed against

every team we’ve played minus one game,” Oyen said. “I honestly think when they’re faced against the best players is when they’re going to play their best. I’m excited to see them take their game to the next level.”

V-ball hits the road for first conference away games By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona volleyball’s home stand had to end sometime, and there’s no time better than the present. This weekend, Arizona (12-4, 1-2 Pacific 10 Conference) travels to Oregon to take on Oregon State (8-10, 1-3 Pacific 10 Conference) tonight, followed by No. 13 University of Oregon (15-2, 2-2 Pacific 10 Conference) on Saturday. “I’m watching Oregon State, and they’re 8-10, and they might be the best 8-10 team I’ve seen,” said Arizona head coach Dave Rubio. “They’re big, physical, talented, young. They have a tendency to play really well at home.” Young is definitely a good word to describe the Oregon State squad. Three true freshmen see extensive playing time, along with five sophomores. Last year Arizona split two matches with the Beavers, winning at home and losing in Corvallis. The Wildcats defeated Oregon in both matches last season, and the Ducks were ranked in the top-15 both times. So far in Pac-10 play, Arizona has looked like a top team at times and a bottom dweller at others. Starting fast when playing on the road is a key in any sport. Volleyball is no exception. “We just need to come out strong,” said libero Candace Nicholson. “They’re going to be fired up, so we need to be able to shut them down early.” Oregon is going to provide a stiffer challenge. Ranked No. 13 in the country, the Ducks’ only two losses came at the hands of No. 1 Stanford and No. 7 California. Both schools defeated Arizona in Tucson. “I know Oregon is strong,” continued Nicholson. “They’ve lost twice, but both

were this last weekend.” Oregon finds itself in a similar position that the Wildcats were in last week. They had lost their two previous games and were looking for a rebound win. Something that should be beneficial to the Wildcats is that Oregon and Oregon State are very similar teams. “Oregon is the same thing (as Oregon State),” Rubio said. “They’re young and really good, very talented, just inexperienced. We’re just going to have to do a really good job of playing consistent, and we’re going to have to follow a pretty good game plan.” Maddie Lozano, a freshman middle blocker, thinks that consistency and progress are the two most important things this weekend. “We just need to work on the things we work on each practice,” Lozano said. “What we can’t do against Oregon State, hopefully we’ll be able to do against Oregon.” Both matches are scheduled for 7 p.m. Arizona’s current three-game road trip is the longest it will be away from McKale this season. The Wildcats will repeat a threegame swing later this month, traveling to both Washington schools and rival ASU.

Freshmen Candace Nicholson, left, and Maddie Lozano, right, have made major contributions to Arizona volleyball so far this season. The Wildcats will take on Oregon State tonight before taking on No. 13 Oregon on Saturday.

Wildcats set to host Beavers, honor former coach Tomey

last long, however, as OSU fell to Boise State the following weekend. Although its season has been off to a rocky start, Oregon State is better than its record suggests, thanks largely to brothers James and Jacquizz Rodgers. “They’re reliable players. They’re good at what they do,” said Stoops. “They’ve got great explosive speed. They are very productive. They don’t make mistakes, and they’re very efficient players. When they get their opportunities, they make the most of them.” OSU utilizes the brothers by switching up its style on offense. Both brothers have been used in the passing and

running game for the Beavers this season and will be a key if they’re looking to turn their season around in Tucson. “It’s changes up the looks. It’s all the same stuff, but it comes in a variety of different ways,” Stoops said. “They just change up the picture on you and change the guys and move them around and try to create, get guys in different places, and that’s where you have to be smart and understand how they’re trying to attack you.” Arizona’s defense — ranking No. 2 nationally — has been stout at home this season and plans to challenge the Rodgers brothers’ speed with speed.

“Just fly to the ball, just fly around,” safety Anthony Wilcox said. They’ll have a double-edged sword to contain this weekend, but it’s something that Golden said the defense has been preparing for all week. “They’re great on offense,” he said. “They have a great pass game, so just to go out there and get after them, make tackles, that’s going to be the key.”

Tomey returns for honor ceremony

Dick Tomey, the winningest coach in Arizona football history, will be in Tucson for the Oregon State game

tomorrow to receive the John Button Salmon Award for outstanding service. Tomey coached for 14 years at Arizona and took the Wildcats to seven bowl games in that time, including the 1994 Fiesta Bowl win over Miami and Arizona’s highest AP ranking in school history at No. 4 in 1998. “He’s done a lot of great things for this city, so I’m happy Dick’s been a good friend of mine since I’ve taken over this job and certainly well deserved — that’s for sure,” Stoops said.

2 physicists share Nobel for the discovery of graphene McClatchy Newspapers LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Russian expatriates working in Britain have been awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics for their discovery of graphene, a two-dimensional layer of carbon molecules whose unexpected properties promise to revolutionize the electronics industry, the production of lightweight materials and a host of other applications. At a time when multibillion-dollar particle accelerators and orbiting telescopes are often deemed necessary for major breakthroughs in physics, Andre Geim, 51, and Konstatin Novoselov, 36, both of the University of Manchester, laid the foundation for their discovery with an ordinary piece of Scotch tape. The pair, who will share the $1.5-million award, used the tape to peel successive layers of carbon from a small chunk of graphite similar to that found in a pencil, eventually obtaining a layer a single atom thick that they dubbed graphene. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the real work began, Geim said at a news conference organized by the Nobel committee. Researchers had thought such two-dimensional materials would be very unstable, but graphene confounded their expectations. It is 100 times stronger than steel and conducts heat and electricity better than copper. Unlike pencil lead, graphene is transparent, and it stretches up to 20 percent when stressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past five or six years, we have been intensively studying the properties of these materials, trying to figure out what they can be useful for,â&#x20AC;? Geim said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would compare this situation with the one 100 years ago when people discovered polymers. It took some

time before polymers went into use in plastics and became so important in our lives.â&#x20AC;? But it may not take nearly as long with graphene, said H. Frederick Dylla, executive director of the American Institute of Physics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within a year or so of Andre Geimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Konstantin Novoselovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first work with graphene, it became the subject of dozens of sessions at large scientific meetings. Many scientists, seeing a rich research opportunity, stopped what they were doing and turned to graphene.â&#x20AC;? Among potential applications cited by the Swedish Nobel committee are replacing carbon fibers in composite materials to produce even lighter aircraft and satellites and replacing silicon in transistors to produce faster and more efficient electronic devices. The material could be embedded in conventional plastics to enable them to conduct electricity, and because it is transparent, it could be used to produce touch screens for computers and telephones. Both researchers were born in Russia. They met in the Netherlands when Novoselev was a graduate student in Geimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laboratory. Both are now professors at Manchester. Geim is a Dutch citizen, and Novoselev has dual Russian-British citizenship. The Nobel committee said Novoselev was the youngest physics winner since 1973, when British physicist Brian D. Josephson shared the Nobel for his studies of how an electrical current can tunnel through a barrier, a phenomenon now known as the Josephson effect. The youngest physics winner ever was Lawrence Bragg, who was 25 when he shared the 1915 Nobel with his father, William.

Department of Defense contracts aided Taliban, Senate committee says McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Defense Department security contracts in Afghanistan have funneled millions of dollars to local powerbrokers, some of whom were found to have ties to the Taliban and carried out murders, bribery and kidnappings, according to a congressional investigation. Sen. Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told reporters at a news conference Thursday that a yearlong inquiry has uncovered â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant evidence that some security contractors even worked against our coalition forces, creating the very threat that they are hired to prevent.â&#x20AC;? In one case, an Afghan named Reza Khan described by the committee as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;warlordâ&#x20AC;? who was supplying armed guards at a NATO airbase in Herat province was killed when U.S. forces raided his house in 2008 after receiving intelligence that local Taliban commanders were meeting there, according to the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report. The U.S. raid was denounced at the time by Afghan officials, including President Hamid Karzai, and led then-President George W. Bush to call Karzai and apologize for causing civilian casualties. But the committee said a U.S. military investigation concluded that the 55 Afghans killed in the raid included Khan and seven of the guards at the airbase, as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;22 antiCoalition militia.â&#x20AC;? As U.S. troop levels have gone up in Afghanistan during the last two years, the number of armed security guards

under contract with the Defense Department has skyrocketed, from roughly 1,000 in 2007 to more than 16,000 this year. The total number of private security personnel in Afghanistan is around 26,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; larger than a U.S. Army division. The Armed Services Committee investigation examined more than 125 Defense Department contracts totaling more than $100 million that were signed from 2007 to 2009 with Afghan firms as well as with foreign companies that hired Afghans as security guards. Yet the committee said it found very few audits and little scrutiny from the Defense Department into whether the firms receiving contracts were complying with the terms of the contracts. In many instances reviewed by the committee, guards were not trained in using firearms and were ill-equipped, the report concluded. Other incidents cited in the report include one in February, when a Marine lance corporal was killed after an Afghan working as a security guard at a nearby U.S. base opened fire on his squad while it was on patrol shortly after sunrise. Marines later told investigators that the Afghan guards were â&#x20AC;&#x153;high on opiumâ&#x20AC;? when the shooting occurred. The report also describes how EOD Technology Inc., a security company headquartered in Tennessee, relied on Afghans with possible links to Taliban to supply guards as part of a Defense Department contract to protect a training center for Afghan police in the town Adraskan.

UA must stop the run while OSU needs to force turnovers

Oregon State

Have the better Katz The Arizona Wildcats defense is off to a remarkable start. Being the No. 2 overall defense in America is just silly. With that in mind, the matchup between a stout defense and an experienced quarterback in his first year as a starter should sway heavily in favor of the home team, but Ryan Katz is a bit of an enigma. If you’ve ever seen him throw, you know he has the arm strength to play in the NFL, but he’s only completed 51.6 percent of his passes — a giant red flag that a quarterback is turnover prone. Yet here he is four games into the season, and he has yet to throw an interception. He needs to stay turnover-free and get the ball to his playmakers. Force turnovers Statistically speaking, Oregon State’s offense will struggle on Saturday. Not because it doesn’t have the talent, but because Arizona’s defense is a brick wall. If that stays the same tomorrow, and despite the talents of the Rodgers brothers, there’s no reason to believe that won’t be the case, the

Oregon State defense will need to make some big plays and probably score some points of its own. Despite Nick Foles’ heroism late in games and his high completion percentage, the junior has thrown four interceptions in four games. With players like James Dockery in the Oregon State secondary, that could work in the Beavers’ favor. Mix it up on offense You would think that the pattern for Oregon State’s offense would be to get the ball in Jacquizz’s and James Rodgers’ hands as often as possible. While that isn’t the worst plan in the world, most offenses hit a wall if they try to do the same thing over and over again. Defenses will make adjustments and eventually shut the dives and traps to Jacquizz and the bubble screens and jet sweeps to James. Wide receivers Jordan Bishop and Aaron Nichols and tight end Joe Halahuni have emerged as receiving threats this year. Also keep in mind that despite the talents of Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State is averaging just 121 yards on the ground per game — one yard better than Arizona.

Yankees vs. Twins, Game 3

get to the quarterback and make Katz’ first trip to Tucson nerve-wracking and uncomfortable, the Wildcats should be able to pick up on Oregon State’s schemes much easier. The defensive end duo has been solid through four games, combining for four sacks and six tackles for a loss. If Reed and Elmore can ramp up the intensity and keep Katz and the Beavers’ offense from getting into a rhythm, Arizona can neutralize Oregon State’s best asset – its offense.

and can be found on almost all of the award watch lists and preseason teams. Arizona’s offensive line will have its hand full with Paea.

Paul Vassallo The junior outside linebacker will have the biggest responsibility among the linebackers this weekend — defending Oregon State’s fly sweep. Vassallo needs to stay honest and contain receiver James Rodgers on the end around. Other outside linebacker Jake Fischer is also a player to watch, but Vassallo figures to be tested a little more. He leads the team in total tackles with 22 and needs to keep up that production this Saturday if the Wildcats hope to stifle Oregon State’s extremely creative and versatile offense. Vassallo and the No. 2 Arizona defense have yet to face a spread offense since opening up against Toledo and it remains to be seen how the Widcats will handle it. They also haven’t faced a back like Jacquizz Rodgers this season, which is even more reason why Arizona needs a big game from the Juco transfer Vassallo. Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed With time to throw, Ryan Katz has a chance to test Arizona’s secondary with his big arm, which is where Reed and Elmore come in. If the duo can

Tim Kosch

Nick Foles It’s hard to knock a guy who’s led his team on consecutive game-winning drives. But aside from the late-game heroics and showing up in the “Nick” of time, Foles has been mediocre as of late. He turned the ball over twice against Cal and threw for only 135 yards prior to the 77-yard game winning in the final minutes. The offensive line needs to protect Foles against an Oregon State team that sacked ASU quarterback Steven Threet six times last weekend. The Beavers also forced three interceptions against the Sun Devils. The first order of business is getting time to throw, and from there Foles needs to get the offense into a rhythm and look like the quarterback he did in the first three games.

Back when I was a kid, I was a huge Miami fan. It never made sense, considering I’ve lived in New Jersey my entire life, but these things happen. I had every possible Miami hat, I was No. 88 in middle school football for Jeremy Shockey and I had an authentic orange Ken Dorsey jersey that I wore as often as I could before my mom would yell at me to grow up. Yeah, I was pretty cool. Unfortunately, my affinity for the ’Canes has run its course. Ever since Willis McGahee shredded his knee and Glenn Sharpe didn’t commit pass interference against Ohio State, I’ve just been disconnected. The good news is that I still hate Ohio State, but bad news is I’m picking former-UA defensive coordinator Mark Stoops and the Noles. This one goes down the middle, not wide right. Florida State 23, Miami (FL) 20

For the first time in four years, these teams will both be ranked for this typically entertaining rivalry game. Jacory Harris can be electric, but so can Christian Ponder, and this one looks like it could be a shootout with each team averaging over 30 points scored per game. This game has produced some classics, and it has the feel of that type of game heading in. I think this is Saturday’s under-the-radar game to watch, and look for the ‘Canes to take care of business at home. Miami (FL) 31, Florida State 27

As the season continues, the chances of a Jacory Harris pink suit appearance at the Heisman Trophy ceremony is turning into a pipe dream. With eight interceptions in three games, Harris will not welcome the pass rush presence of the Florida State defense, but the bevy of passing options that Harris has, he will be able to get the ball off. Seminole quarterback Christian Ponder has still yet to throw a pick on the season, but the Hurricane D will be sure to return to pass rush favor. Miami (FL) 31, Florida State 27

Back where I live, baseball is king, especially in October. If a person walking down the street doesn’t have on a Derek Jeter T-shirt jersey, (tee-sey?) then they either spend too much time watching Glee or are Mets fans and have no reason to wear their team’s shirt in October. Yet, out here, nobody cares about baseball, and I hate it. Turn it on, people, it’s playoff baseball. Anywho, the Yankees answered a ton of questions when they beat the Twins in game one despite an off night for CC Sabathia and proved in game two that they are still the world champions. Phil Hughes starts to etch his name into Yankees October lore this weekend and the Yanks sweep. Yankees 6, Twins 0

You kind of feel for the Twins. They quietly do their jobs while steering from controversy, and have some likeable players in Joe Mauer and Orlando Hudson. Unfortunately for them, that doesn’t translate into wins, and they are again in a familiar situation against the Yankees, down 2-0 in the series. Heading to the hostile Bronx won’t make things easy for the Twins (be prepared, Carl Pavano), and behind Phil Hughes, the Yankees sweep Minnesota and move on to the ALCS. Yankees 7, Twins 3

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s rooting for the Yankees. After 20-something World Series wins, there’s really no need to care about how many more they win. A stop-and-go September led to the Yanks securing the American League wildcard spot, but the Yankees and America knew they would end up in the playoffs. The postseason without the Yankees is just as obscure as Rex Ryan forgoing a meal — it doesn’t make sense. October belongs to the Yankees. After getting the 2-0 lead over the Twins in the divisional round, it’s time to move on. I know the Red Sox did it in 2004, but the Twins don’t have nearly as much to play for as the Sox did. Yankees win in three and send Joe Mauer to return to his cabin, put on his flannel and hibernate through winter. Yankees 6, Twins 2
