Details of stadium beer sales announced by mackenzie mays city editor

Representatives from the Morgantown Brewing Company and Anheuser-Busch met Thursday to announce plans for the beer distribution at Milan Puskar Stadium this football season. The two breweries, in addition to MillerCoors, will pro-

vide alcohol at 51 locations throughout the stadium until the 7:30 mark of the third quarter. Prices will range from $7 to $9, depending on type of beer. The Morgantown Brewing Company was chosen by Sodexo, a food services and management company, to provide locally brewed, craft beer at the stadium.

In only its second year of operation, founder and coowner, Art Gallagher, said it’s an “amazing opportunity” for the local brewing company. “To be able to showcase a product we’re really proud of on arguably the biggest stage in the state is tremendous,” Gallagher said. The Morgantown Brewing Company will serve its

Old Morgantown Amber Ale, a sweeter beverage for firsttime craft beer drinkers, and Zack Morgan’s Pale Ale, its best seller, Gallagher said. “This is a big deal for any craft beer in general,” Gallagher said. “For us to be chosen to provide the beer at Mountaineer Field is not only good for us, but for everyone involved.”

‘GET THAT STADIUM FULL’

The craft beers will be available at two kiosks in the stadium. Gallagher said he hopes to rotate seasonal flavors throughout the year on a game-by-game basis. Larry Oleska, president and owner of the Mona Supply Co., an alcohol distributor in Morgantown, spoke about the Anheuser-Busch responsible

West Virginia University will launch its first social media-fueled scavenger hunt Monday. The event will last through Thursday and will require participants to use the University’s Facebook, Twitter, foursquare and YouTube accounts. The University teamed up with Collegiate Licensing Co., a trademark licensing and marketing company, in an effort to familiarize incoming freshmen with the campus, said Tommy Napier, a graduate research assistant. “This will get new students familiar with different social media platforms at WVU, and it’s a way for students to learn more about the campus and win cool prizes,” Napier said. The grand prize winner will be presented with an iPod Touch at the WVU women’s soccer game Thursday. The scavenger hunt was created for current students, too, and will challenge their knowledge of the University’s history, Napier said. Kristen Basham/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

AT A GLANCE The first ever WVU social media scavenger hunt will start Monday and take place through Thursday. It was created to challenge students’ knowledge of West Virginia University. “Clues will lead students to different places on campus and businesses around Morgantown, and it’ll also provide them with historic facts about the school,” he said. “It’s a fun way to get to know both the Evansdale and Downtown campuses better and hopefully get students out and about to see things they haven’t experienced yet.” Students must follow the WestVirginiaU Twitter page to receive clues and then check in at the correct locations using the foursquare mobile app. Blue signs with the message: “Let’s Go?

Multicultural day wraps up 2011 Welcome Week

Thursday wasn’t a normal day for students eating lunch in the Mountainlair. West Virginia head football coach Dana Holgorsen arrived at noon to speak to students about the upcoming football season. The first-year Mountaineer head coach talked to students for five minutes, stressing the importance of coming to games early and staying until the end. “Really, really good championship football teams are always known for having an unbelievable student section,” Holgorsen said. “We need to get as many students as Kristen Basham/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

UPD helps students prepare for shooting by Emily Smith Correspondent

The West Virginia University Police Department presented “Shots Fired on Campus” Wednesday evening in the Gluck Theater of the Mountainlair. “Shots Fired on Campus” is an informative video that describes how students should react if a shooting were ever to occur on campus. The 20 minute clip depicted active shooter situations, hostage situations and discussed the options of how to respond. Crime prevention officer at WVU Sergeant Peggy Runyon, said the information

in this video is important to all students. “‘Shots Fired on Campus’ is a safety video that goes through the things you should do if a shooting happened on campus. It gives you survival information,” Runyon said. The video explained in an active shooter situation, students have the choice to either try to escape the area or secure themselves in a safe place. “Not everyone is comfortable staying and fighting,” Runyon said. Students’ reactions should be largely dependent on their current situation. “If you hear gunshots com-

ing from the floor above you, leave. If they are near you or on the same floor, it’s best to secure yourself in a room and stay where you are,” she said. This is the second year UPD has shown “Shots Fired on Campus”. The decision to show the video to students came about after the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007. University officers went through extensive training on how to respond in emergency situations and other security changes were made, such as the requirement of students to swipe student IDs to gain entrance into residence halls. Another safety measure taken by WVU was the usage

of the emergency text system, WVU Alert. This system uses SMS texting to alert students of any immediate danger on or around campus. Students can sign up for this free service by visiting http://emergency.wvu.edu. Freshman Andrew Cox attended the showing of “Shots Fired on Campus” and considered it a learning experience. “I have always been scared of active shooter incidents, and the first thing I learned was that I was sitting in the wrong place,” said Cox. The safety video also emphasized the importance

by Amy Rogers Staff Writer

As crowds bustled through the Mountainlair at West Virginia University Thursday, 10 different organizations had informational booths set up to catch the attention of the students. Finding a niche in which to belong on a university campus can seem a daunting task, especially for incoming or inter-

national students. Multicultural day in the Mountainlair served to reach out to the cultural students at West Virginia University. Yesterday, each organization had two common purposes in mind – to extend students the invitation to join a new organization and to inform others about a great opportunity in which students can get

we can, so make sure you’re there to support the players. “We’re going to do our part over the next two weeks to put the best product we have out there on all three sides of the ball. You guys need to spread the word and make sure that nobody goes home. Everybody needs to stay here and get that stadium full.” Students reacted to Holgorsen’s statement with a loud round of applause. West Virginia will open its season at home on Sunday, Sept. 4, against Marshall at 3:30 p.m. Holgorsen was with his recruiting coordinator Alex Hammond at the event. Members of the WVU Athletic Department’s Marketing Office’s Matt Wells and Nate Zinn were also there. Mountaineer Maniac Director Steve Staffileno, who

worked with the athletic department to promote the event, said he was impressed with the student turnout. “He got a loud applause when he came up to the microphone,” Staffileno said. “When he was done, he got even a louder applause.” Staffileno said he thinks students are more fired up for this year than in years past, and it showed Thursday. Holgorsen held a similar style meet-and-greet Wednesday night at Towers. According to Staffileno, Holgorsen was asked on Wednesday if he could win a national championship. Holgorsen responded with a “yes” and walked out of the room to a round of applause. “We’re going to try to get a little bit better offensively than what it’s been the last few years,” Holgorsen said. “It can be as exciting as we want it to be.”

The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., is an organization composed of nine international Greek sororities and fraternities. The organization set up in the Mountainlair Thursday to increase membership for all of the organizations on campus at WVU. This organization values the ideals of community service, leadership, education and health awareness. “Right now we only have

seven out of the nine active on campus now,” said Alexis Turner Garris, a sophomore forensics major and vice president of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. Each organization has their own platform specifically created to that organization, but the separate fraternities and sororities like to work together when planning events and community service activities. “We are looking to increase membership of every organization, as well as to bring back two of them,” Garris said. “We’re seeking interest. If they’re interested, it’s up to them to seek out the information. We don’t recruit, but we are always looking to educate,” Garris said. Further looking to expand to a more diverse audience is the Public Relations Student Society of America, also setting up a booth Thursday. PRSSA is an national organization created for students

interested in getting involved with public relations and communications. The WVU chapter wants to get the message out to all students that you don’t need to be a public relations major to join this club. “We want people to know that the tips we can teach, such as resume building and pub-

lic speaking skills. These skills can be very helpful, regardless of any major,” said Jared Lathrop, senior Public Relations major and PR Director of PRSSA for the WVU Chapter. “We want everyone to know that they can join and become active in this organization.”

mencement. Their thoughts were compiled and showcased during the ceremony. “The purpose of using these social media outlets is community,” Napier said. “Whether it’s students or faculty or alumni, it gives us a really unique opportunity to have more of a conversation within the University than ever before.” Napier said the sooner students get familiar with how to

stay connected at the University, the better. “With social media in general, people are able to hear back sooner. We want to build that community with freshman as soon as possible,” he said. “WVU is a big place, and it’s always done a great job at making it feel small. Social media can make it even more personal.” The first 10 students to

check in at a location are eligible for prizes, while all participants will receive a coupon for Zides, the Coliseum Team Shop. There will be two scavenger hunts per day, and participants can earn up to eight entries for the grand prize. For more information, contact University Relations at (304)-293-6997.

The WVU Solar House student organization, a group dedicated to designing and building a 1000 square foot solar house by 2013, had a booth during Multicultural Day in hopes of informing students about their organization.

The “Safe Ride” program will reward designated drivers with a coupon for a free nonalcoholic beverage at the stadium upon sign-up. Plans like these are active in more than 110 venues in the country, and the programs will go beyond gameday activities. Representatives on behalf of the Anheuser-Busch Speakers Bureau plan to visit campus to address college-related issues. “Our partnership with the University doesn’t end with the final whistle,” Oleska said. “Speakers will address self esteem, peer pressure, underage drinking and other college issues.”

‘Pride’ to travel for first performance by jake potts a&e editor

The “Pride of West Virginia,” the Mountaineer Marching Band is known throughout the state for one thing, which may have given them the name that has stuck for so long: Pride. The West Virginia University marching band goes uncontested in what they do and its members are going out of their way to show that pride this weekend. The band will be starting its 2011 season with a trip to the southern part of the state – Mingo County. Never having visited that part of the state, Band Director Dearl “Jay” Drury, said the band is excited for this adventure. “We feel very strongly that the band not only represents the University, but it actually

belongs to the state,” Drury said. “We have not been able to take the band to this part of the state before, as far as we know, and we are excited to bring a part of West Virginia University to these fine folks.” The “Pride” is going to Mingo County for the opening football game at the consolidated Mingo County High School as they face off with Wyoming East. Mingo County recently opened their newly built athletic facility, and the band is honored to be able to perform for the first game played. Locals from Mingo County contacted the “Pride” to come and perform for their opening game and Drury couldn’t see a better opportunity for the Pride to show their love for their state than to hop on the bus and head south.

“To be able to perform in conjunction with the opening of the high school football season, and at a new school and athletic facility, is truly special for the band members. What a great way to begin the season,” Drury said. The funding for the trip has been made possible through local philanthropist Buck Harless, who donated money to the Pride Travel Fund. Since 2007, the funds donated to the Pride Travel Fund have enabled the band to travel throughout the country for away games including Syracuse, LSU, Cincinnati and many others. Drury is excited about the opportunity for the band and what it will mean to the state. “The band members take their role as ambassadors of the University very seriously and

David Selby performs ‘Into the Woods’ at Met by christina gutierrez a&e writer

This evening will mark the opening night of Broadway sensation, “Into the Woods.” The show will star many alumni of the Morgantown Theatre Company with a special presentation from famous actor and Morgantown native David Selby. Selby has done everything from movies to Broadway. He was the star in 1980s nighttime soap Falcon Crest and, more recently, was in 2010’s “The Social Network.” Johanna Stewart, president of the Metropolitan Theatre Company, is thrilled to have Selby be a part of the cast. “We are so lucky to have him. David is such a great actor and addition to our show,” Stewart said. Originally a book written by James Lapine, “Into the

Woods” is a story that combines many famous fairy tales and allows them to cross paths with one another. The music and lyrics are written by Stephen Sondheim. Selby will play a dual role, acting as both the narrator and the Mysterious Man. After asking several MTC students, it was unanimously agreed working with Selby is a pleasure. “He’s really funny and always makes rehearsal fun,” said WVU senior English major and MTC alumna Jessi Jones. Selby and his longtime wife, Chip, founded a children’s theatre company in New York and expanded to California as a result of the company’s great success. Morgantown Theatre Company is a completely self-sustaining organization and the publicity granted by stars like

WVU must seek parking compromise Recent changes to parking fess administered at West Virginia University have had some students in an uproar this week. As students who drive their cars to class felt the pain of a 25 cent increase in parking, the few who ride motorcycles now have to pay – just like everyone else. Previously there wasn’t a charge to park a motorcycle on campus; now a permit is re-

quired, which will cost motorcyclists $168. Student motorcyclists protested for hours on Wednesday holding signs that read “… we will be here until our parking is free again.” It is only fair for everyone who takes up a parking space to pay. The students who are upset should realize that any free parking in Morgantown is a privilege. While the University has not

handled the situation in the best way perhaps, the motorcyclists are not viewing the circumstance in a fair way either. If one person has to pay to park, everyone should. If those who ride motorcycles to class do not like it, they can find another way. The University, on the other hand, must reevaluate the situation and charge a fee that is more suitable. For one, fees should be

charged for each individual space, not for each vehicle that fills it up. When four students carpool in an SUV, each student who is a passenger doesn’t have to pay, only the driver. It isn’t fair to charge a motorcycle the same as a larger vehicle, when multiple motorcycles could fit into the space. Furthermore, the University should not charge a yearly fee to cyclists. There is no

way riding to class is feasible year-round. Charging monthly would seem more efficient. Both sides do have strong arguments and a compromise must be met. It is unfair for the University to charge more space than a motorcycle will use. Let’s all use common sense and be fair. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaintop removal mining is bad for Appalachia michael levy columnist

In the words of the groundbreaking hip-hop artist KRSOne: In a democracy, “the character of the people should be reflected in the laws and institutions of the state.” Perhaps nowhere are we further from that ideal than on environmental protection, especially around mountaintop removal (MTR) mining. The House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would weaken the Clean Water Act, making it easier for mining companies to get approval for MTR mines. At the same time, a new poll shows that 78 percent of voters in the four states where MTR is practiced want to see Clean Water Act protections increased. Only 8 percent oppose full enforcement of current Clean Water Act protections. Our elected officials obviously don’t care what we want. 78 percent of us want stronger water protection, and the House of Representatives is weakening water protection. We live in a pretend democracy. Appalachians oppose MTR Mountaintop removal is a method of mining coal that produces huge corporate profits and long-lasting severe environmental destruction. Using explosives and giant machinery, the tops of mountains are blown apart and pushed into neighboring valleys. That allows the mining company to remove multiple seams of coal, but it kills the streams around the mountain and poisons people living nearby. Multiple polls have shown widespread opposition to MTR. Among Appalachian voters, more than twice as many oppose MTR than support it. That is true among Democrats, Republicans and Independents. It’s true in the coalfields, and it’s true (nation wide). And it was true in polls conducted in 2004, 2008, and 2011. It shouldn’t be surprising that people oppose MTR, especially those who live near it. Its drawbacks are immense and shared among all of us, while its only real benefit is in-

Where MTR is practiced, people are poorer than in similar areas without don’t have MTR. Hendryx said he is, “very confident ... that coal mining is a contributing factor to poor economic conditions and premature mortality.” MTR & the environment The region where MTR is practiced is ecologically unique. It is one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world. Study after study has shown every MTR mine severely im-

pairs streams for many miles, and reclamation technology is not able to mitigate those effects. Communities impacted include aquatic bugs, fish, birds, amphibians and mammals. Thousands of acres of forest are leveled. The topology, soil and biological communities of MTR sites will remain altered for tens of thousands of years. Why MTR continues There is no defense left for MTR. A few companies make huge profits, while people get sick, poverty increases and streams are destroyed. Unfortunately, in our political system, money talks – and salamanders, beech trees and coalfield residents don’t have a lot of money. Those who profit from blow-

ing the tops off mountains do have a lot of money, and they’re spending it to make sure they’ll be able to keep making that money by doing more of the same. Our representative, David McKinley, co-sponsored the bill to weaken the Clean Water Act. Now it goes to the Senate. In the 19 months before Joe Manchin was elected to the Senate, he made $1.4 million from Enersystems Inc., a coal brokerage he ran before he entered politics, which is now run by his son. Watch our Senator closely. Will he choose to weaken clean water regulations to further enrich himself and his family? Or will he do what West Virginians want and strengthen environmental protections to protect our health, our environment and our economy from MTR?

Believe it or not, coloring can be successful stress reliever Ashley Burris columnist

When was the last time you sat down and really colored in a coloring book? Maybe it was as far back as elementary school, or maybe it was just last week. The simple action of coloring is not just a fun and time consuming activity, but it is also a way to relieve stress. Although it may seem juvenile, try to think back to your coloring days. It had to be calming or else you would get frustrated and start to wander outside of the coloring lines. As a child that was one thing you tried to avoid. You always wanted to have your picture

put up in the classroom or on your family’s fridge. It was your trophy to show you could not only stay in the lines but stay concentrated enough to finish the entire picture. As a college student coloring is quite comforting when the stresses of life seem to knock down your mental door. Even when it is the middle of the first week of classes, coloring could potentially be your tool to get away from it all. Searching Google, the quest for something to complement my love for coloring resulted in a few pages that included lengthy details of color therapy. According to www.stressreductionbasics.com color therapy is used by visualizing a color and allowing your focus on that particular color to affect your mood and stress levels. Appar-

ently people do this sometimes without even knowing. Think about it. You are sitting in a classroom with no windows, and eventually throughout the class you get tired of being deprived of Earth’s natural mood ring. When you finally get out of the classroom into the fresh air, blue sky and sunlight, you receive some sort of “rejuvenation” and feel better. That is essentially how color therapy works. As wonderful as that sounds and may feel, coloring with crayons and a coloring book just seems a little more engaging. Continuing the search, many links for www.hubpages. com took over the results page. There were articles like “Stress Relief Techniques We Learn as Children” and “Coloring for

Stress Relief” that both stuck out like sore thumbs. This first article focused on not only figuring out your own personal stress techniques but also jogging your memory back to the days when classroom chairs were shorter than 3 feet and playing in the sandbox for recess was fun. In those days there was everything from finger painting and Play-Doh to playing dress up and coloring the sidewalk with chalk. You could always play with building blocks and Legos or maybe even watch cartoons or play video games. Regardless, coloring was the one activity that would guarantee your concentration and creativity The latter article spoke more about the motion and repetition of coloring as well as

choosing colors. Simple actions like these can soothe your mind, and if you are a super organizer, you can still have fun with this as well. Simply empty the crayon box and organize the colors, either based on the color of the crayon or the paper that encases it. When you empty the crayons all out, your imagination seems to draw you to certain colors that may have been your favorites when you were younger. Remember you are an adult now so coloring outside the line isn’t really taboo, but really try to concentrate on the picture, and let your imagination run with whatever comes to mind. Choosing what to color can be fun as well, even though most coloring books are mar-

keted for children and include characters like Disney princesses, Cars and even Dora the Explorer. Don’t be ashamed to pick up one of those if you can’t find anything online to suit your coloring theme. There are plenty of websites that offer printer-friendly pictures to color as well as more age appropriate themes. So next time you go to the store or home for break, pick up some coloring tools. Color whether you are alone or with younger family members. Even having grandparents color with their grandchildren, nieces or nephews can be a great bonding and stress relieving activity. Coloring buddies are never too far away if you need one. Happy coloring, folks, and enjoy the remainder of this semester.

BACK TO BUSINESS

Weekend’s Mountaineers adjusting to start of semester, Holgorsen happy with depth at WR, RB by cody schuler games will set tone for WVU sports writer

The No. 17 West Virigina men’s soccer team opens its season this weekend with games against No. 11 Virginia and No. 8 Maryland. Unlike in football, where an early loss could ruin a season, the Mountaineer soccer team will have two huge games to open its season. Both Virginia and Maryland will provide early tests for a Mountaineer team returning 10 starters from its 2010 team, which made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. These games will be a tell-all story for the season. Although the team will be able to make adjustments from this point in the season, a strong showing will prove the program is elite and will do wonders for the team’s confidence. These two games will also prepare the Mountaineers for matchups late in the season with UC-Santa Barbara, Notre Dame and Connecticut. It’s tough to survive a full season in the Big East, but these games will help ensure they are in shape mentally and physically to endure such a task. Playing teams like UVA and Maryland will help WVU adjust to playing with the best before it’s able to get used to playing lesser competition. Essentially, in soccer, the only way to get better is by playing the best. It’s admirable that head coach Marlon LeBlanc has enough confidence in his group to schedule two of the best teams in the country, but he admitted that it’s the only beneficial way to schedule. He feels scheduling soft will not do anything to better his club. If more coaches followed his lead, it could make for some very exciting early season matchups, which could help the sport gain excitement. It makes sense – how could playing a team that won three games last season and is projected to finish in the bottom of a no-name conference actually benefit the team? They won’t really know how they stack up with the best; they can only go on speculation. What LeBlanc has done to prepare his team is paying dividends in several other ways. Look at what is done in college football: Most teams schedule weak opponents in the beginning of the season, but the major networks (ESPN, ABC and CBS) will have one or two high-profile matchups to gain viewers. By essentially doing the same thing, just in a different sport, it’s only going to help the program gain notoriety. Eventually WVU will be able to host games like these, helping to generate much-needed revenue. LeBlanc has successfully found a way to benefit the team and the program for the long haul.

Saturday marked the end of preseason camp for the West Virginia football team, and when Monday rolled around, players and coaches took the same attitude of the thousands of students in Morgantown: Back to business. With the school year in full swing, head coach Dana Holgorsen addressed the media Thursday to discuss some recent developments as his team gears up for the Sept. 4 season opener against Marshall. “The guys switched to becoming more of student-athletes on Monday,” Holgorsen said. “They were scheduling and going to classes. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you deal with a bunch of distractions in getting your schedule and finding out where the classes are.” “These guys have to learn how to juggle – how to be good student-athlete(s).” With preseason camp closing, the days are no longer focused entirely on football as classes have forced the team to adjust its practice schedule as it prepares for the rigors of the first week of the academic year. “The last couple of days have been different, because we haven’t just been working football all day,” Holgorsen said. “Saturday will be kind of like a mock day. We won’t scrimmage, but we will practice transitioning back and forth from offense to defense to special teams.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen said there could be as many as seven running backs to play against Marshall on Sept. 4. “After that, it will be all about preparing for Marshall.” While fans eagerly await the Sunday afternoon matchup between the Thundering Herd and the Mountaineers, Holgorsen admits his focus is more on preparing his team in general as opposed to focusing on the season’s first opponent. “I don’t have any impression on (Marshall) so far,” he said. “We started to get some of the looks in practice, (but) we haven’t talked about it at all.” Next week the team will shift its gaze solely to Marshall, as the coaching staff will begin sorting out personnel on Sunday.

you think Ivan has edge, Ryan comes back and has his best day since he has been here. That is an ongoing deal.” Perhaps the most closely watched position battle of all is the competition at running back where four players, including three true freshmen, are vying for playing time at the “A” back position. Vernard Roberts started preseason camp first on the depth chart but was recently leapfrogged by Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison. As of today, though, it appears Holgorsen won’t make his mind up until the last possible minute. “We have the four young kids, and they are all prac-

Before Sunday, however, Holgorsen hopes the position battles that have been raging in the hot August sun will finally start to clear themselves up. Despite the immense depth at positions like running back and wide receiver, Holgorsen intends to play as many people as possible. “Receiver-wise, we are developing our eight, but I want those second-team guys to beat out the first-team guys,” he said. “Stedman (Bailey) and Tavon (Austin) have solidified the fact that they are pretty good, and we will play them as much as possible.” “Ryan Nehlen and (Ivan McCartney) have been battling. Right about the time

ticing hard,” Holgorsen said. “We will continue to evaluate them.” The fullback position has an elevated level of importance in the blocking game this season, and redshirt junior Ryan Clarke has “taken a slight lead at this point” in that battle. “The three fullbacks are still battling,” he said. “All seven of those guys are going to play. I have never been anywhere that seven running backs are going to play.” While Holgorsen doesn’t know who is starting at the “A” back position, he made clear that in the grand scheme of things, it really isn’t important who the starter is. “Somebody has to run out there first,” Holgorsen said of the running backs. “Whoever the quote, unquote starter is going to be will mean more to that guy than it does to us. We know that they are all going to play.” The second team players are under pressure from Holgorsen to continue developing as the season rapidly approaches. While some coaches across the nation are struggling with depth, the Mountaineers continue to display an advantageous approach with their reserves. “Elite schools … they are going to complain about (lack of ) depth,” he said. “We are not complaining. You need to be able to trust a second teamer, if needed. If you can’t trust them, then it’s hard to put him out there on special teams.”

Sophomore Doug Rigg will be expected to play a bigger role this season.

Anthony Leonard, J.T. Thomas, Najee Goode. Those were West Virginia’s three starting linebackers last year. This year only one of them is coming back, redshirt senior Najee Goode. If you haven’t heard names like Casey Vance, Doug Rigg, Josh Francis and Tyler Anderson, you will this year. The Mountaineers will most likely rotate several linebackers into the games until the team finds the right guys to step up and make big plays. “When you throw those guys in there, if they don’t know what they’re doing, I can tell them what they’re doing,” Goode said of his young teammates. “For the most part they know, but even when they aren’t sure about certain things I can tell them ‘look for this, look for that’ and give them hints and cheats and they can go ahead and play with their natural ability.” It is too early to tell who will start the season beside Goode, but the linebacker has confidence in the rotation the team has to get the job done. “It’s still hard to tell just be-

cause you got guys like Josh, Doug and Tyler who stepped up,” Goode said after the team’s scrimmage last Saturday. “They’re getting more athletic and they’re learning, so it’s almost interchangeable. Coach (defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel) always says he wants to play with six linebackers and we got five right now with Casey, Josh, Doug, me and Tyler pretty much going in there.” When asked if the linebackers have gotten enough hitting in throughout camp, Goode said the defense has had a good sense of everything except getting hits on the quarterback. “When we do drills like this in the passing game, Coach Holgorsen made a good point: we can’t go live every practice ... Like in the past we’ve done these situations, we just haven’t put them all together,” he said. “The only thing we haven’t got enough of, I think, is just hitting the quarterback. We need No. 12, there isn’t too many of him around the country.” Due to the fact the linebacking group is filled with young players like sophomore Rigg and redshirt sophomore Anderson, the Mountaineers have not focused on their opposing teams just yet. Holgorsen and

the rest of the coaching staff want them to work on getting better as a unit. “The thing is we don’t game plan yet,” Goode said. “Right now, just for us, we want to learn football. The young guys want to learn football. They want to learn when you line up over here and the when (the offense) goes trips (three wide receivers) and lineup here when the offense does certain things.” The other players are still adjusting to the fast pace of Holgorsen’s offense in practice and learning their objectives on the defensive side of the ball. “For the most part, when (the offense) runs their plays, they are going full speed. Like our defense – we used to run it before, but we start getting into missing things, and we’ve got guys learning on top of trying to get the plays learned and everything. So that kind of slows us down a little bit. When that slows us down, they speed up. They don’t care.” The linebackers, led by Goode, will have a lot of work to do in order to play to their full potential against the team’s tough upcoming schedule. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

men’s soccer

Mountaineers start regular season this weekend against two top 15 teams by michael carvelli sports editor

West Virginia men’s soccer head coach Marlon LeBlanc doesn’t believe in scheduling easy games. They don’t accomplish anything. “There’s no point in playing easy games,” he said. “I’m not one of those coaches who wants to rack up a lot of wins playing second-rate competition. It’s about getting our team prepared and to do that, you need to play the best teams you possibly can.” The No. 17 Mountaineers will certainly have their hands full when they open up the regular season this weekend as they will head to Germantown, Md., to take on No. 11 Virginia and No. 8 Maryland in the ACC/Big East Challenge. The two games were supposed to be at Red Bull Arena,

home of the MLS’s New York Red Bulls, in Harrison, N.J., but due to a nationally televised Red Bulls game against the Los Angeles Galaxy, the games had to be moved. LeBlanc feels it’s a great opportunity for his team to get to go up against two of the nation’s premier teams to open the season, but as of right now his focus is fully on the Cavaliers. “We haven’t even thought a lick about Maryland yet. All our energy has been on Virginia,” LeBlanc said. “Our focus is on them for now, and we’ll worry about Maryland after the game ends on Friday night.” Virginia finished 11-6-3 last season but, like the Mountaineers, return a lot of its players from last season. The Cavaliers will return eight starters from last year and five players who started on their 2009 National Championship

team. Senior forward Brian Ownby returns for the Cavaliers after earning first team all-ACC honors last year. Virginia also has junior Will Bates back at forward. As a sophomore Bates led the Cavaliers with eight goals and four assists. While they’re bringing back a lot of scoring from last season, Virginia has to find a replacement for goalkeeper Diego Restrepo, who recorded eight shutouts and saved 82 percent of the opposing team’s shots. “They’ve got everything that every coach in America would like to have at their disposal,” LeBlanc said. “They’re very dynamic, and they’ve got tons of individual talent all over the field, and we expect them to be a solid team for 90plus minutes.” Maryland is coming off of an Elite 8 finish in the NCAA

tournament, and are picked to finish second in the ACC this season. The Terrapins return just three starters from last year’s team, however. One of those three starters, forward Casey Townsend, was a first team all-ACC selection and scored nine goals with five assists last year. On defense, Maryland returns Alex Lee and Taylor Kemp, who both started every game on the backline just a season ago. LeBlanc thinks it would be big for his team to come out of this weekend with results, but that’s not all it’s about. He just wants to see his team continue improving as each game passes. “It’s a process, that’s for sure,” LeBlanc said. “We’d like to put our best foot forward (this weekend), but we don’t expect to have a perfect game by any means.

No. 17 WVU to take on Penn St. and George Mason by nick arthur sports writer

The No. 17 West Virginia women’s soccer team will compete in the Penn State Invitational this weekend as a part of their second road trip of the season. They will play Penn State on Friday at 7:30 p.m., and will face George Mason Sunday at noon. Both games will take place in University Park, Pa. Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown knows exactly what to expect when her team takes the field Friday night. “Walking in and playing at Jeffrey Field is going to be

a difficult task,” Izzo-Brown said. “We know that there is going to be a lot at stake, but we’re expecting this one.” West Virginia and Penn State have competed against each other three times in the last two seasons, including a matchup in the NCAA tournament last season where West Virginia won by a score of 2-1 to advance to the Sweet 16. Coach Izzo-Brown thinks a rivalry has developed. “There is a lot of respect for both programs. We both know that when we play, it is going to be a battle,” IzzoBrown said. “There is never an easy

game against Penn State, and I don’t believe Penn State feels that it is going to be an easy game against West Virginia.” Penn State will be looking for revenge Friday and IzzoBrown anticipates a hostile environment. “I guess they’re trying to break their record, trying to get over 3,000 people at the game. That’s going to be pretty intense,” Izzo-Brown said. “I hope they break it so when we come back home we can return the same favor against the Ohio State.” Hostile environment or not, Izzo-Brown believes road games help improve her team in the long run. “I always like to get on the road,” Izzo-Brown said. “It is good preparation for the NCAA tournament. Because, obviously, you have to win on the road.”

Coach Izzo-Brown isn’t worried about her team’s focus after a long gap between games. “All I have to do is mention Penn State,” Izzo-Brown said.

“This team is very motivated and very goal-driven. They want to accomplish a lot this season and they know Penn State is a step to getting where we want to be.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia hosts five teams this weekend at Mountaineer Invitational by sebouh majarian sports writer

Following a roller coaster 2010 season, the West Virginia University volleyball team will begin the non-conference part of the season as it opens with the WVU Volleyball Mountaineer Invitational. After sweeping the competition last year at the WVU Classic, the team finished with a 1515 overall record (5-9 Big East). The Mountaineers will face a tougher task this year as they host New Hampshire, Valparaiso, No. 21 Ohio State, Towson and Robert Morris. “We scheduled like this for a reason. Our preseason is to prepare us for Big East play, and if we go out and play a lot of mediocre teams so we can just get W’s on the board, I don’t feel like we’re preparing our team to do well in the Big East,” said WVU head coach Jill Kramer. “We want to test them early, and we want to be tested early, and we want to compete with the best teams in the Big East,” she said. The team is confident an intense offseason will bene-

fit them, as they will have five matches this weekend. “For one, we feel like we prepared them through preseason, so they are in really good shape. For two, we feed them every meal, so we make sure they’re refueling well enough,” Kramer said. “Thirdly, they need to take care of themselves and get the rest they need.” West Virginia will get underway Friday with UNH at 1 p.m. and Valparaiso at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday they will face the Buckeyes before playing Towson and Robert Morris Sunday. After breaking down the film from the Gold-Blue intrasquad scrimmage Sunday, Kramer knows the team needs to communicate better if they are going to be successful this weekend. “We’re OK with getting the snot beat out of us in practice,” Kramer said. “So it’ll make it that much easier for us in a real match, and that’s what we’re going after.” The team has added five new players to the roster, which has made things a little more difficult for Kramer as far as narrowing down her rotation of players. “As a coach, you have to make a decision as to what you think is going to be the best situation for your team, and we’ve talked with the staff and we have a few different lineups that we’ve been looking at,” she said. “We’ll continue to look at them and put the best one out on the floor on Friday.” There are a few other questions the team faces. Senior Serinna Russo is adjusting to playing libero after playing outside hitter. Kramer is also looking for someone to replace her and shoulder some of the offensive load. The second-year coach is interested with what the weekend will hold. “This weekend isn’t an experimentation weekend, but we’re going to learn a lot with five new players that are going to contribute in different ways,” Kramer said. Kramer wants her girls to play with a lot of energy, passion and enthusiasm and give the fans a show. “I want every match to be good so we give the fans something, because I want them to be proud to be supporting our team and for our team to be representing them,” she said. “If they go out there and give their best effort, we can compete with anybody.” sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

MAN IN THE MIDDLE

Najee Goode getting comfortable with new role as middle linebacker, leader By Ben Gaughan

associate sports editor

Najee Goode has played outside linebacker each of his first three seasons at West Virginia. In his senior season, he will play many, if not all the games, at middle linebacker to make way for younger linebackers on the team to earn game experience. Goode is happy to shift to the inside in order to help his teammates with plays and assignments, and he’ll have more control over the defense as a whole. “I like being off the edge, but playing in the middle I feel comfortable, too, because I get to step back and kind of direct guys and do my own thing,” the redshirt senior said after a team scrimmage. “Right now, I would like to say I like playing middle better, because I know more, and it’s fun.” The Ohio native has been giving advice to the less experienced linebackers and directing them when they aren’t sure where to go on the field. “You get more self control of the defense, get to tell peo-

ple where to line up and with the younger guys, it’s actually learning,” Goode said. “I don’t even have to tell the guys like Doug (Rigg) and Tyler (Anderson). The other guys are coming along, like Josh (Francis). “But it is more fun to play there, because you get to anchor the defense, and you have to step up and play that role, and that’s what I’m trying to do.” Goode is confident nothing changes or gets too confusing when he moves to the inside. He knows all the schemes and can let the other players know and keep them on their feet. “Knowing the defense, all you have to do is tell a guy where to go if they’re not too sure, and if they know, then it’s the same thing, just a different assignment here and there,” he said. “Pretty much I do the same thing (on the outside). Guys like Doug and all the other guys that want to step up there and see some other things, I let them do it to see what they need to do in order to get it. We still run the same defense.” The redshirt senior said all

of the shifts and movements by different players along the defense are beneficial for the unit. The other linebackers with less game-playing experience will learn to pick up their assignments and the linebackers will mesh together and be on the same page. “It’ll help out and provide us with a little bit of depth. I am helping the young guys to show them to do some different things, to help the guys that are playing one position to move around to play another position,” he said. “So they get another chance, like Doug (Rigg) has been playing and Tyler Anderson has been rotating around. It will help them to get more versatility and to learn what’s going on, because you can’t be one-sided on our defense.” Goode’s leadership has taken a step up, and he is confident he can get the other linebackers at the same level. That leadership will be vital for Goode, especially with former linebackers J.T. Thomas and Anthony Leonard both gone. “It’s something that just

Couples tell Woods he’s on Presidents Cup team SNOQUALMIE, Washington (AP) — U.S. captain Fred Couples has told Tiger Woods that he’s add him to the 12-member Presidents Cup team. Couples took the drama out of the debate on Thursday over whether Woods would be on the team. “I’ve told him that he’s going to be on the team,” Couples said just before a practice round preparing for the Boeing Classic at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. “There is no reason for me to wait till Sept. 26 to pick Tiger. He’s the best player in the world forever.” Ten players automatically qualify for the team based on points accumulated over the past two years. Couples is then given two captain’s picks to round out his squad, which will compete against a team of non-European International players at Royal Melbourne in Australia from Nov. 14-20. Woods, who is 28th on the Presidents Cup list, had a long summer layoff because of soreness in his left knee and left Achilles’ tendon. He played in two recent tournaments, finishing 37th in the Bridgestone Invitational

in early August then missing the cut the following week at the U.S. PGA Championship. Woods wrote on his website this week that he had conversations with Couples about playing on the team and that “of course, I want to be on the team” that competes in Australia. “Is he playing well right now? No. (But) he almost won (The Masters) four months ago so you don’t do that by playing poor golf,” Couples said. “In my opinion, when you’re the best player in the world for 12 straight years and you’re not on a team, there’s something wrong. “Everyone else can have their opinion, but as far as I know Jay Haas and myself are the captains and we want him on this team.” Haas is Couples’ assistant for these matches. Couples, initially unaware Woods had not qualified for this week’s FedEx Cup, told him by text message to find another tournament to play. Woods’ next scheduled appearance is not until the Australian Open, the week before the Cup, although he said he might add a U.S. PGA Tour event to his schedule.
