4-H named Student Org of the Year by summer ratcliff staff writer

The West Virginia University Student Government Association selected the WVU Collegiate 4-H Club as the 2013 Student Organization of the Year during its regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday.

In March, the WVU Collegiate 4-H Club was also named the National Club

of the Year by the 2013 National Collegiate 4-H Conference in Columbia, Mo. Alec James, junior exercise physiology student and president of the Collegiate 4-H Club, said it is a great honor to receive the WVU Student Organization of the Year Award.

“To represent so many clubs and to receive an honor of being a top-tier organization at West Virginia

University is a great honor,” James said.

James said the Collegiate 4-H Club is open to any interested student at WVU. “Anyone can join Collegiate 4-H. We don’t have any dues, and you don’t have to have been a member of 4-H previously,” he said. “We strive to better our community, better the youth of tomorrow and better ourselves.”

The board also unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the utilization of Evive bottles within dining facilities, convenience stores and cafes on campus.

Governor Evan McIntyre said he hopes an increase in Evive bottles being used on campus would have many positive affects.

“In order to move WVU forward into the future, we need to take every step we

can to have a more sustainable and health-conscious campus,” McIntyre said.

“With the utilization of Evive bottles in a variety of locations we really can reduce waste and promote healthier drinking habits.”

Additionally, Attorney General Franklin Roberts presented two special rules that will apply to all SGA meetings for the current session.

These rules include a required two readings per presented resolution to foster more discussion on all proposals and online open student forums to allow students who cannot attend SGA meetings the chance to participate.

SGA holds open meetings every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Hatfield’s Room B. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

WVU, JMU LIKE TO MOVE IT, MOVE IT debate W.Va. secession

By Caroline Peters Staff writer

In honor of Kay Goodwin, West Virginia Cabinet Secretary of Education and Arts, the West Virginia University debate team hosted a debate discussing the West Virginia’s 150th anniversary of secession from the state of Virginia.

The West Virginia Sesquicentennial Commission partnered with the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences to sponsor the event.

Two James Madison University students, Daniel Spiker, a political science and public policy administration student, and Andrew Yim, a political science and philosophy student, were invited to represent Virginia in the debate.

WVU was represented by political science student Alexandria Palmer and business management student, Andrew Warne.

Neil Berch, political science professor and WVU Debate team sponsor, welcomed the attendees before the debate took off.

Each of the parties had four minutes to discuss

their first points, followed by a break for questions from the opposing side.

Aaron Sheehan-Dean, Eberly family professor of Civil War studies and West Virginia Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission member served as the moderator.

Warne began the discussion and said that unequal taxation and cultural divisions served as firm reasons for West Virginia’s secession.

After Warne’s argument, JMU representative Andrew Yim questioned Warne’s statement.

“It doesn’t matter if West Virginia seceded or not, because social inequality is happening now,” Yim said.

“It was nerve-wrecking having to stand in front of students who are from WVU,” he said. “It is difficult trying to appeal to people who attend a school in the state we are debating against. However, a debater will always face those circumstances. The audience let us state our position, and that’s what matters.”

Calliope reading scheduled for tonight in Mountainlair by ashley tennant staff writer

Calliope, West Virginia host a reading Thursday evening in 130 Colson Hall to showcase this year’s crop of undergraduate published authors.

Natalie Carpini, editorin-chief for Calliope, said everyone who has been published in this year’s edition will be reading their piece aloud to the audience.

“This is our 25th edition of Calliope, so it’s exciting,” she said.

“I will be the one introducing everyone and their pieces, and they will go up and present their work of art or writing to the audience,” she said. “We go in the order of the magazine, so when it’s their turn, they can be like, ‘This is what I did, and this is how I did it.’”

Carpini said this year, they wanted to make the book a little different than in previous years.

“They’ve all kind of looked like books, and then I saw the 2008 edition, which was a lot thicker and actually a square. I thought it looked interesting and we could change it up,” she said. “(With the new design) we could have more pages and more authors published and just a Calliope with more depth – both metaphorically and literally.”

She explained every undergraduate student at WVU can be a part of Calliope, no matter their major.

“You can send in a submission no matter what discipline you’re in, so even an engineer major could send something in just as well as a creative

WELLWVU’s moveWELL challenge aims to foster students’ physical fitness by summer ratcliff staff writer

Do you exercise at least 30 minutes every day?

The West Virginia University Office of Wellness and Health Promotion is encouraging students to get up, get out and get moving for at least 30 minutes per day.

WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health hosted its moveWELL Day in the Mountainlair Wednesday.

Shannon Foster, health education specialist for WELLWVU, said most West Virginia University students, on average, do not get the necessary level of daily activity required to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

“Based on what our research shows us, only about 28 percent of our student population is meeting the federal guidelines for physical activity, which

Dance program builds on WVU tradition

By Madison Fleck staff writer

The dance program has been a West Virginia University tradition since 1928.

However, it wasn’t until recently the University was able to find someone with enough drive to build a dance program comparable with others around the country.

“I’ve always enjoyed dance, and it’s been my passion throughout the years,” said Yoav Kaddar, assistant professor of dance and director of the WVU dance

program.

Kaddar, a native of Israel, has studied at institutes such as Juilliard, the University of Washington and the State University of New York. He has danced for companies including Jose Limon, Paul Taylor, Pilobolus and Peter Pucci.

Kaddar has been instrumental to WVU’s dance program for the past three years and said he has done all within his power to improve it.

Kaddar said he first became interested in the job when he learned of the chal-

lenge it bore.

“The University was interested in starting a degree that didn’t exist here before,” Kaddar said. “The job description was to lead it forward.”

Typically, dance programs at other universities are well-run and have been in place for years, but WVU’s program was not as fortunate.

“It didn’t make any logical sense to anyone who wasn’t in the dance program,” Kaddar said. “So I basically had to renumber and retitle all the courses.”

Kaddar began introducing more rigor into the schedule and created morning dance classes, instead of the afternoon classes being offered at the time.

He said he felt there needed to be more student involvement within the dance program, and he began putting up posters to raise awareness.

Mississippi man accused of sending letters with ricin CORINTH, Miss. (AP) — A Mississippi man was arrested Wednesday, accused of sending letters to President Barack Obama and a senator that tested positive for poisonous ricin and set the nation’s capital on edge a day after the Boston Marathon bombings.

Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was arrested at 5:15 p.m. at his apartment in Corinth, near the Tennessee state line about 100 miles east of Memphis, said FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel McMullen. It wasn’t immediately known where he was being held.

Authorities still waited for definitive tests on the letters to Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. Preliminary field tests can often show false positives for ricin. The letters were intercepted before reaching the White House or Senate. Ricin is derived from the castor plant that makes castor oil. There is no antidote and it is at its deadliest when inhaled.

WELLWVU has launched a new campaign: “my choice, ourevolution” to encourage students to get moving and to spread their motivation to those around them and create a fitness revolution. “‘My choice’ indicates that exercise isn’t something that you should have to do, you should feel like you want to do it, and it should be enjoyable and fun,” Foster said. “‘Ourevolution’ ties into the fact that the choices that you make affect the campus as a whole.

The majority of the audience voted for West Virginia.

Foster said in order to get students excited and involved, it sometimes means getting them involved in a competition of sorts.

As authorities scurried to investigate three questionable packages discovered in Senate office buildings, reports of suspicious items also came in from at least three senators’ offices in their home states.

Sen. Carl Levin said a staff member at his Saginaw, Mich., office would spend the night in a hospital as a precaution after discovering a suspicious letter. The staff member had no symptoms, Levin said in a statement. He expected to learn preliminary results of tests on the letter

Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer said that an individual who was responsible for the suspicious packages in the Hart and Russell Senate office buildings on Tuesday was detained and released on Wednesday. The packages were not hazardous.

Gainer said the man was “not particularly harmful, although terribly disruptive.”

All the activity came as tensions were high in Washington and across the country following Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured more than 170. The FBI said there was no indication of a connection between the letters and the bombing. The letters to Obama and Wicker were postmarked April 8, before the marathon.

“They said, ‘Oh, we finally belong somewhere’.”

When Kaddar arrived at WVU in fall 2010, he said there was a dance company, and if students were not involved in the company, they didn’t dance.

“I changed that,” he said.

“Now, anyone can audition to be in the performances.”

Kaddar has spent his years at WVU creating the University’s dance major, which is planned to begin in the 2013 fall semester.

“The dance major is not only for the dancer who wants to become a professional dancer or performer,” Kaddar said. “This dance program is there for students who want a dance education to further their other interests.”

Kaddar said he believes dance is beneficial to individuals in all fields of work – even lawyers and occupational therapists have found a way for dance to help them in their careers.

Students of other majors at WVU have found a way to make dance a part of their lives, he said.

“Being part of the dance program is my favorite part of my undergraduate education,” said Morgan Lough,

After hours of jangled nerves, officials signaled it was safe to move throughout the area and people settled back to normal, if watchful, activity.

At a House hearing, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe noted there had been ricin alerts since the notorious 2001 anthrax mailings and procedures are in place to protect postal employees and help track down culprits.

“Over the course of years we’ve had some situations where there have been ricin scares,” Donahoe said. “Until this date, there’s never been any actually proved that have gone through the system.”

Wicker in a written statement thanked the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police for “their professionalism and decisive action in keeping our family and staff safe from harm.”

“Writers basically just get the satisfaction of being published.”

She said it can be hard to be published as a writer, and any experience is beneficial.

“This is a really good thing to have under your belt, but if people see that you’ve been published, then it might help in the future for now publishing,” she said.

“I would encourage people to come. It’s really cool to hear the voices of WVU because it’s the only completely student run publication on campus.”

The Calliope reading will be held in 130 Colson Hall at 7:30 p.m.

a junior biology student and current Student Dance Association president. “Being able to do the thing I love, dance and get credit hours for it is so amazing.”

Lough said he has had the privilege of taking Kaddar’s classes for the past three years and has found his insight and knowledge inspirational.

“Yoav is a great teacher and role model,” Lough said. “During my time in the program, I have grown so much as a dancer. The program has given me the opportunity to become familiar with more dance styles, and I have really been able broaden my dance horizon.”

Kaddar said he has been able to offer a unique and in-depth dance experience at WVU partially due to his background and his passion for the art. Because folk dancing is such a big part of the Israeli culture, he said he has always loved dancing.

“I sort of caught the ‘bug’ that way and have loved dancing ever since,” Kaddar said.

The WVU dance program will have its spring performance May 2-3 in the Creative Arts Center’s Antoinette E. Falbo Theatre.

Conspirator packs 123 Pleasant Street

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Conspirator plays at 123 Pleasant Street.

BY JAMES YARIA A&E WRITER

With a non-stop adrenaline rush of electronic and jam band grooves, Conspirator nearly brought the walls of 123 Pleasant Street down with their earth trembling bass and drums Tuesday night.

Overwhelmingly ornate, the four-man band blurs the line between dubstep production and live entertainment to create a heavy-hitting vibe of chaotic bliss.

“I feel like we’re at a tipping point where to fuse the power of reproduced music with live musicians I feel like is the next step in the evolution of electronic music,” said keyboardist and DJ Aron Magner. “When we

all got into electronic music, we got into all styles of electronic music, and we’ve evolved with it. It’s kind of why we run the gamut of electronic genres in our production.”

Conspirator has attained recent national acclaim due to their frequent festival showcases, including recent ventures to Ultra Music Festival, Electric Forest Festival and CounterPoint.

With such unrestricted raw power, the band often sounded too big for the small stage.

Standing still caused deep vibrations to race up the spine and almost force movement, making dancing inevitable for everyone within 123’s walls. Unusually packed to capacity, the

large crowd coupled with the extreme bass made the floor feel like it was about to cave in underneath everyone.

Using copious amounts of smoke and lights to create only silhouettes of the players, a mystic setting only enhanced the atmosphere of the performance.

“Out of all the venues I’ve seen them at, as small as this venue was, it felt 10 times bigger, if that makes sense,” said J.T. Tigner, a WVU junior student. “It was like being in the middle of a field with 50000 people and then seeing them in my living room.”

After visiting 123 Pleasant Street 2012, Conspirator was quick to rebook the venue for a return visit.

“I knew that our fans in Morgantown were really rabid for us last time, and that’s kind of like why we wanted to follow it up,” Magner said. “What we were expecting was for people to be really into it and it to be the party that it was, and I think we succeeded in both of those things, for sure.”

Opening for Conspirator was Jeremy “Ikto” Wriston, who played at the 2011 FallFest and frequently performs around Morgantown.

Mixing complex drumbeats with stunning rhythm, Ikto sounded right at home at 123. Ikto was forced to play in the DJ booth rather than the stage because of Conspirator’s set up, which made it more difficult for him than usual.

“It was one of the most difficult shows I’ve ever played,” Ikto said. “There was a half-second delay between the speakers and where I was all the way in the back, so it was a challenge that I had to deal with.”

The crowd did not seem to notice Ikto’s technical difficulty, as his sound was crisp and pristine and set up his headliners perfectly.

Ikto will be playing again at 123 Thursday along with Grumpybear, Cochambres, and Quortz for the monthly Fresh Produce show, which highlights local artists.

Conspirator’s set lasted for two hours of continuous action from the four-man group, consisting of keyboardist/DJ Aron Magner,

bassist Marc Brownstein, guitarist Chris Michetti, and drummer KJ Sawka.

Even transitioning between songs, there was never silence from the speakers, keeping the energy of the environment constantly in motion. The sweat and smiles of the audience served as testament of a mission accomplished, and the finale garnered deafening praise and cheers.

Conspirator will continue their tour North through New York and to Massachusetts before taking a short break before another spring/summer jaunt on the road, which will include a performance at Bonnaroo. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

All Good right around the corner WVU Relay For Life

BY JEREMIAH YATES A&E WRITER

With the semester coming to a close, it’s time for students to start planning summer vacations. For a memorable experiences, summer music festivals are the best, and the All Good Music Festival and Campout July 18-21 in Thornville, Ohio, is only a short drive away.

It is of the best music festivals in the country, as it was nominated for 2012 “Festival of the Year” by Polstar and is relatively close to Morgantown. This festival should be on everyone’s list this summer.

The annual event will be in full swing at Legend Valley Concert Venue and Campground and boasts more than 40 musical artists with no overlapping sets.

Headliners for the music festival include Furthur with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, Pretty Lights, Primus, STS9, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals and many more.

Even though the All Good Music Festival and Campout is not in Morgantown’s backyard, it’s still well worth the drive.

The event is coordinated so that festivalgoers get to experience every band on the lineup. All Good offers a side-by-side main stage area with absolutely no overlapping sets the entire weekend.

Many fans were disappointed when the festi-

val moved from Marvin’s Mountaintop to Legend Valley, but concerns were put to rest after 2012’s festival turned out to be a huge success. Headliners for 2012’s festival included The Allman Brothers Band and The Flaming Lips.

Attending a summer music festival is a one-ofa-kind experience, and for years, the All Good Music Festival and Campout has been among the best. Every year the lineup offers the best in a variety of genres, including funk, bluegrass, blues, jam bands and electronic music.

The festival also offers various food vendors, regional microbrews, designated fire pits, kids’ entertainment, drum circles, play shops and much more.

Tickets for the festival, including four days and nights of camping, parking and all entertainment, are available now at www.allgoodfestival.com/tickets.

Early Bird Tier 2 general admission tickets are available now for a limited time for $199 and are $50 off the gate price. Children 3 and younger are admitted free with a paying adult.

Premium All Good Festival tickets, the “Even Better” VIP Packages, offer a more enhanced festival experience, including an exclusive concert viewing and camping area near the stages, private and air-conditioned bathrooms and showers, free festival taxi shuttles, premium All Good merchandise and more. Even Better tickets are available online and have consistently sold out in advance.

Wounded persons lie on the sidewalk as police respond after an explosion at the 2013 Boston Marathon in Boston.

Responding to tragedy

More than 11 years after a terrorist attack of unprecedented scale rocked America to its core, tragedy struck one of the nation’s major cities again earlier this week.

Two bombs hidden in garbage cans were detonated at the end of the Boston marathon, leaving three dead, more than 140 injured, and bringing back the enigmatic fears Americans haven’t felt in more than a decade.

As the nation once again mourns its losses, it is important for Amer-

ica to learn from the lessons of 9/11 and measure its reaction to this tragedy accordingly. Terrorist attacks such as this are designed to provoke rash, emotional reactions and stoke divisions within a population.

More than a decade after 9/11, American troops are still in Afghanistan, we are still paying for the trillions spent on the Iraq War, and our government continues to suspend the Constitution in the name of fighting terrorism.

The racial hatred that has haunted Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans since 9/11 is another one of the tragic legacies of that horrifying attack. Although no culprit has been identified yet for this latest attack, it is likely this won’t be the case for much longer.

Regardless of who carried out the attack, we must refrain from unjustly blaming an entire group of people for the actions of an evil individual or small group of people.

The coming days will provide more clarity regarding who committed this abhorrent crime and why they did it. We sincerely hope the perpetrators of this atrocity are brought to justice as swiftly as possible. But we also hope America has learned from its past and will not compromise its ideals by overreaching in its pursuit of quenching an insatiable thirst for vengeance.

Analyzing varying reactions to Boston bombings kirk auvil columnist

It is an odd thing how times like these tell us so much about the way America is viewed by the rest of the world. It seems, despite how “damaged” our image may be on the world stage, other nations still care when our citizens are senselessly killed. These compassionate sentiments have emerged via several channels, both official and otherwise.

The official responses to the bombing have been aggrieved and compassionate, with our Western allies voicing their shock and outrage.

Even more interesting than the official responses, however, have been the unofficial responses. People from around the world have flocked to the Internet to create memes and image macros expressing their support for the United States. Many of these images poke fun at America’s perceived tendency to overreact to terrorist threats, but also suggest that in this situation, someone has to pay.

Even more interesting is the fact that Iran has come out condemning this bombing, in a backhanded sort of way. Of course, some Iranians took to the Internet to express their grief and sympathy, which was nice enough in its own right.

But when Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei released a statement condemning the bombing for killing innocents, he made sure to

point out that Iran would condemn any such attack in any country. He also did his best to reinforce his government’s anti-American image by throwing in some rhetoric about Western civilization being on the verge of collapse and railing against America’s drone strikes in the Middle East.

This sort of odd mixture of goodwill and condemnation isn’t anything new when it comes to AmericanIranian relations.

A year ago, Somali pirates captured some Iranian sailors. The U.S. Navy found them and brought the Iranians back home and was met with what can only be described as reluctant gratitude. The funny part is that just days earlier, Iran had complained about the presence of the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf.

It’s really an odd waltz that the U.S. and Iran are dancing. And while Iran’s leaders like to beat their chests and talk tough about the decadent evils of the west, many Iranians gathered for a candlelight vigil in the wake of 9/11. So, let this be a lesson to anyone who views Iranians as somehow evil or mindlessly opposed to America; it’s not that cut and dried, and it’s too easy to homogenize countries into one faceless group.

Another unlikely sympathizer came out of the woodwork: Cuba.

For those who aren’t familiar with U.S. policy toward Cuba, it has not been kind over the years. We tried to undermine their government for years during the Cold War via various

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, addresses a group of Iranian military commanders in Tehran, Iran, Wednesday. means, and to this day we still have a trade embargo in place against Cuba preventing U.S. companies from doing business there.

So, we aren’t exactly the best neighbors when it comes to Cuba. That’s why Cuba’s overtures of sympathy over the Boston bombing are all the more remarkable.

Americans themselves differed greatly in their reactions to the attack. By and large, it’s safe to say that the majority of Americans were mortified and deeply wounded by the events unfolding in Boston.

But a contingent of Americans is trying to try to use the bombing as an opportu-

nity to put other such events around the world into perspective. They are arguing that bombings such as this are commonplace in some areas of the world, and that Americans are wrong for not being up in arms over each of those bombings, which are oftentimes more harmful than the ones in Boston.

This view really fails to take into account that the more common an event is, the less newsworthy it is.

Of course every bombing in Iraq and Afghanistan is horrific; not once has any sane person claimed that the Boston bombing matters more because those peoples’ lives are somehow

more valuable.

But bombings in some areas of the Middle East are quite commonplace, and as such aren’t the focus of much media attention. A bomb going off in a major U.S. city draws attention from around the world because it’s so rare and shocking that everyone is caught off guard.

As much as people tripping over themselves to be politically correct are trying to use this bombing to prove a point, the point they’re making is diminished when we stop and consider what they’re actually saying.

Is America the only nation in the world making a

big deal out of these bombings? No, countries around the world are reacting to it and treating it as a wake-up call. In all of their arguing, these folks are so keen to blame America for trivializing other bombings that they forget the rest of the world does it, too.

Do you see England holding a press conference to denounce each and every bombing taking place in Iraq? Is France up on their bully pulpit condemning every new incident of mob violence in India?

A bombing in Boston is different, everyone knows it’s different, and to think otherwise is utterly laughable.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You are fiery right now, especially when dealing with a personal issue.

Tonight: Put on your game face.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Understand what is happening behind the scenes with a relative or neighbor. This person might not be revealing as much as you would like.

Rusted Root captivates Joe Mama’s

Tyler Herrinton/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Rusted Root livens the stage at Joe Mama’s Tuesday.

BY JAMES YARIA A&E WRITER

A worldly, cultural band right from Pittsburgh, Rusted Root brought their talents to Morgantown Tuesday night at Joe Mama’s.

The one-hit wonder gathered a cult following after the release of their hit song, “Send Me on My Way” off of their platinum album, “When I Woke.” Recently, the band has been continuously touring to promote their 2012 album, “The Movement.”

Even hours before the show started, a large crowd gathered at Joe’s to get ready for the evening. Diverse in age, Rusted Root’s followers ranged from students to older patrons, giving it more of a community feel than a typical college crowd.

The lackluster openers failed to garner much attention from the audience, who remained planted on their bar stools until 10 p.m., when the headliners finally

took the stage. While the rain may have kept Joe Mama’s from reaching capacity, the floor area surrounding the bar was packed almost full.

Soulful and energetic with a particular ’90s pop vibe, Rusted Root quickly captivated the crowd, spurring almost immediate dancing and singing.

Though they appeared a bit tenured from years on the road, Rusted Root still held onto their youthful past – thanks to stellar percussion from drummer Preach Freedom.

“I remember seeing them when I was a kid,” said Logan Noll, a WVU student.

“The drum solos were always my favorite part, and tonight it was like a great flashback. I was actually pretty surprised that they still sound just as good as they did like when I was younger.”

Opening with “The Movement” from their new album, Rusted Root seamlessly blended their old and

new songs for an audience that knew every older track by heart. While the set list was a bit geared toward promoting “The Movement,” this was not done at the expense of any of their many fan favorites.

When “Send Me On My Way” started playing, a unified, ecstatic cry was heard from the fans, and the singing from the audience was so prevalent it felt like the whole bar was in unison.

The fan reaction was so great; it was as if it was the soundtrack of everyone in attendance.

The happy melodies and funky grooves lasted until around midnight, when the tired band finally moved on to a side booth to sign autographs and chat with eager fans.

Rusted Root will continue their tour through Ohio and the Midwest and will tour intermittently through the eastern U.S. until mid-August. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Jazzam to rock Fat Daddy’s

BY LACEY PALMER ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

A five-piece self-proclaimed space jazz and funk band from Pittsburgh will be taking the stage tonight at Fat Daddy’s Bar & Grill, but the group is no stranger to the area.

“Jazzam recently received local attention by blowing away the crowd while opening for a soldout The Werks show at 123 Pleasant Street last month,” said event promoter Adam Payne. “Even The Werks themselves complimented on how entertaining the opening act was.”

Formed in 2005, Jazzam has taken the Northeastern jam scene by storm from New York all the way to West Virginia, according to Payne.

Founding members Glenn Strouther and Marc Sterling recently took a hi-

atus and have returned with a new lineup, adding Clinton Clegg, Manny Guevara, Buddy Rieger and Langston Kelly.

According to Payne, Clegg is a seasoned Pittsburgh musician whose raspy voice can be heard in another popular Steel City group, Backstabbing Good People. Langston Kelly, who is also in The Old E. Allstars, adds a tenor sax style that gives this band the jazzy feel.

The Hornitz will also play at Fat Daddy’s, providing their own element to the show.

Founded in May 2006, The Hornitz is a horn section band from Boston, featuring musicians Keller Williams and Zach Deputy.

The Hornitz has rocked crowds along the Northeastern Coast with a mixture of funk, rock, electronica and jazz. With their

instrumentation, the band can entertain audiences in any venue.

In 2008, the duo began producing original music using human beatbox, tenor saxophone, bass trombone, keyboard and organ.

The group has worked with many artists, most notably George Clinton, Guster and State Radio.

Both members utilize live-looping equipment to create large soundscapes for their high energy performances, according to Payne.

“A Hornitz show is one of the most dynamic and expansive spectacles ever produced by two people,” Payne said.

Show time is at 10:30 tonight at Fat Daddy’s Bar & Grill. The event is for 21 and up. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

TIF bill passes in special session Luck: WVU aims to have new baseball stadium at University Town Center by 2015 season by michael carvelli sports editor

One of the first things Oliver Luck knew he wanted done when he took the job as West Virginia’s Athletic Director in June 2010 was to get the Mountaineer baseball team a new stadium.

And after the tax increment financing (TIF) bill that would help build a new ballpark at University Town Center was passed by the state legislature in a special

session Wednesday evening, it looks as if that goal is well on its way to being accomplished.

“This may be one of the most important moments in Mountaineer baseball history,” Luck said. “We always felt pretty good about it. I’m just excited for our baseball program, for Coach (Randy) Mazey and the players. It’s just a great thing for the whole Morgantown community.”

The bill received broad

support in both votes Wednesday, passing 34-0 in the Senate before being approved 91-2 in the House.

In addition to the baseball stadium, which will serve as the home field for both the WVU baseball team and a minor league team from the New YorkPenn League, the TIF would also fund a new exit off I-79 between Westover and Star City.

The TIF district, which would take up 150 acres,

would also include a business park and will reportedly bring close to 2,000 jobs to the area.

“We’ve still got a number of things that we need to do along the way,” Luck said.

“This will get people from all over the state to drive in and enjoy a nice, affordable family night out. It’s good for us, but it’s even better for the community.”

Even before WVU moved into the Big 12 Conference, one of the nation’s premier

baseball leagues, Luck noticed that even the teams that were consistently good in the Big East Conference had facilities that put WVU’s current home to shame.

“They were all far nicer than Hawley Field,” he said. “This whole process of thinking about the TIF and trying to use it really started as soon as I took the job, because that’s when I realized how much we needed to improve that facility if we wanted to have a base-

Spring game importance varies among West Virginia football team

By Nick Arthur

associate sports editor

The annual Gold-Blue Spring Game provides fans the opportunity to get an early glimpse of what to expect from the Mountaineers in the coming season, as well as set the stage for players to showcase their skills to the fans while competing for a spot.

This spring has been filled with position battles, highlighted at the quarterback position.

Junior Paul Millard and redshirt

freshman Ford Childress have been splitting reps this spring, and there is no clear indication who will earn the starting position in 2013.

Saturday’s Spring Game, scheduled for 2 p.m. at Milan Puskar Stadium, will provide yet another instance in which Millard and Childress will each attempt to make his respective claim as to why he should be the Mountaineer signal caller.

Millard, though, sees Saturday as just another practice and opportunity to improve.

“It’s been a long spring. It will be good to get out there and compete,” Millard said. “It will be fun to get out there with the guys and hopefully score some points. It will be a good time.”

Childress, who did not participate in 2012’s spring game, views this weekend as the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream, even if it is just an intrasquad scrimmage.

“I’m obviously very excited to get out in front of the fans and just relax

ball program that could be competitive.”

But although the bill has passed, there is still plenty of work left to be done before construction on the stadium can begin.

Next, Luck said the WVU Board of Governors will have to approve the land purchase, as well as the contract with the developers. From there, the two sides will begin the process

Spring is finally in the air, and with it comes a sense of renewal for college football programs all across the country.

This rings especially true in Morgantown, where West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen and his Mountaineer football team are trying to erase the memory of a year that had seemingly limitless potential five weeks into the season, but flamed out with spectacular disappointment down the stretch of WVU’s inaugural season in the Big 12.

So far, eliminating any lingering discontent from last season hasn’t been much of an issue. Nearly all of the returning players and coaches have already been able to put it behind them and move on to preparing for WVU’s encore season in its new conference.

In fact, across the board the team’s spirits are ostensibly sky high. The entire team is seemingly ready for their shot at redemption.

But even though West Virginia’s coaches and personnel are ripe with excitement and anticipation heading into the 2013 season, that doesn’t mean the upcoming campaign will be any easier.

In fact, if anything, the 2013 season will present even more challenges for the Mountaineers and their third-year head coach.

First West Virginia’s offensive personnel will simply not be anywhere near the same level as it is was last year. You don’t lose the school’s most prolific offensive quarterback, and two of the University’s alltime most dangerous receivers (one of whom was arguably the most dynamic playmaker at any position in school history), without taking at least a small step back on the offensive side of the ball.

Any way you want to shape it, that’s what the Mountaineers are going to have to deal with this season. Regardless of how immense an offseason Paul Millard or Ford Childress has, they are simply not going to show up in the fall with the mindset or the ability to make the throws Geno Smith did.

But that also doesn’t mean West Virginia’s offense is doomed to mediocrity simply because of less talented personnel.

This is where Holgorsen, widely considered one of the greatest offensive minds in college football, comes in.

For all his offensive success over the years, Holgorsen never had a quar-

Mountaineers head to Larry Ellis Invitational by kevin hooker sports writer

The West Virginia track and field team will continue its outdoor season this weekend in Princeton, N.J. at the Larry Ellis Invitational.

Events will begin Friday at noon, and will resume competition Saturday at 9:45 a.m. Live stats can be found at WVUsports.com, with a recap posting shortly after completion of the weekend.

The Mountaineers are coming off a solid weekend in Fairfax, Va., where they had three first-place finishes and three personalbest marks.

Senior Heather Adams won the hammer throw for the third straight week with a mark of 53.44 meters, while junior Stormy Nesbit was victorious in the long jump with a leap of 5.86 meters.

“Stormy is finally rounding back into good health,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “I was very pleased with her.”

Junior Katlyn Shelar placed first in the pole vault for the second week in a row.

She followed up her recordbreaking performance two weeks ago with a 3.82 meter jump last weekend.

“We were happy to get (cooperative) weather to allow for a great opportunity to perform,” Cleary said after last weekend’s meet. “Each event group had their own highlights.”

Sophomore Karissa Knabenshue placed sixth in the shot put, but her distance of

13.16 meters was a personal best. Her mark is secondall time in WVU program history.

Senior Alanna Pritts also posted a personal best time in the hammer throw, finishing 15th with a 40.97 meter distance.

Sophomore Kiley Defibaugh placed fifth in the pole vault, clearing 3.6 meters.

Junior Sarah Martinelli and senior Jordan Hamric both had solid weekends in the 1,500 meter run. Martinelli placed 10th with a patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum time of 4:28.45, while Ham- Junior Stormy Nesbit and the West Virginia track and field team will travel to ric came in 16th place with a Princeton, N.J., this weekend for the Larry Ellis Invitational. time of 4:35.44.

Super voice gone: Pat Summerall dead at 82

AP

Fox broadcasters Pat Summerall, left, and John Madden stand in the booth at Louisiana Superdome before the NFL Super Bowl XXXVI football game in New Orleans. Fox Sports spokesman Dan Bell said Tuesday that Summerall died at the age of 82.

DALLAS (AP) — The voice of football. The NFL’s narrator for generations. A master of restraint.

Pat Summerall soothed American television audiences over four decades – his deep, resonant voice and simple, understated style served as the perfect complement to the boisterous enthusiasm of John Madden, his partner in a celebrated pairing that lasted half of the NFL playerturned-announcer’s career.

Summerall died Tuesday at age 82 of cardiac arrest, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center spokesman Jeff Carlton said, speaking on behalf of Summerall’s wife, Cheri.

Summerall called 16 Super Bowls and became such a large part of the NFL that it was easy to forget he was the leading voice of the Masters and the U.S. Open tennis tournament, as well.

“He was royalty in the broadcast booth,” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.

His final play-by-play words beside Madden were succinct, of course, as he called the game-ending field goal of the Super Bowl for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, when New England beat St. Louis 20-17.

“It’s right down the pipe.

Adam Vinatieri. No time on the clock. And the Patriots have won Super Bowl XXXVI. Unbelievable,” Summerall said.

Sparse, exciting, perfect.

A flawless summation without distracting from the reaction viewers could see on the screen.

At the end of their final broadcast together, Madden described Summerall as “a treasure” and the “spirit of the National Football League” in a tribute to the partner that the for-

mer Oakland Raiders coach badly wanted to keep – and did – when he had to switch networks 20 years ago.

“Pat was my broadcasting partner for a long time, but more than that he was my friend for all of these years,” Madden said in a statement Tuesday. “Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be.”

Summerall played 10 NFL seasons from 1952 to 1961 with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants, but it was in his second career that he became a voice familiar to generations of sports fans, not only those of the NFL. “Pat was a friend of nearly 40 years,” CBS Sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist said.

“He was a master of restraint in his commentary, an example for all of us. He was also one of the great storytellers who ever spoke into a microphone.”

Summerall started doing NFL games for CBS in 1964, and became a play-by-play guy 10 years later. He was also part of coverage of the PGA Tour, including the Masters from 1968-94, and U.S. Open tennis.

When CBS lost its NFL deal after the 1993 season, Summerall switched to Fox to keep calling NFL games with Madden. Summerall had hoped to keep working with CBS for other events like the Masters, but network executives saw it otherwise. At the time, CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz said he was “very saddened” that Summerall didn’t get to leave CBS under his own terms.

“Pat Summerall was a hero to me,” Nantz said Tuesday. “I treasured the gift of friendship that I had with him. I was his understudy for 10 years. He could not have been more gen-

erous or kind to a young broadcaster.”

A recovering alcoholic, Summerall had a liver transplant in April 2004. The lifesaving surgery was necessary even after 12 years of sobriety.

After an intervention involving, among others, former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, former CBS Sports President Peter Lund and former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beaman, Summerall checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in April 1992.

“I had no intention of quitting, I was having too good a time,” Summerall said in a 2000 Associated Press story. “The prescribed stay at Betty Ford is 28 days.

They kept me 33 because I was so angry at the people who did the intervention, the first five days didn’t do me any good.”

Summerall received the liver of a 13-year-old junior high football player from Arkansas who died unexpectedly from an aneurysm. Summerall had an emotional meeting with the teenager’s family the following year.

“He always had a joke,” Madden said. “Pat never complained and we never had an unhappy moment.

He was something very special.”

Summerall often shared his testimony with Christian groups and told his story when speaking before other organizations. In his 2006 book, “Summerall: On and Off The Air,” he frankly discussed his personal struggles and professional successes.

Long before broadcasting Super Bowl games, 16 for television and 10 more for radio – in fact, before there was even a Super Bowl – Summerall played a role

in what is known in football circles as “The Greatest Game Ever Played,” the 1958 NFL championship. The Giants lost to the Baltimore Colts 23-17 in the NFL’s firstever overtime game.

“Pat Summerall was one of the best friends and greatest contributors that the NFL has known,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “His majestic voice was treasured by millions of NFL fans for more than four decades. It is a sad day in the NFL.” Born George Allen Summerall on May 10, 1930, in Lake City, Fla., he was an allstate prep football and basketball player there, and lettered in baseball and tennis.

He played college football at Arkansas before going to the NFL. After breaking his arm in the preseason as a rookie for Detroit, Summerall played five years for the Chicago Cardinals before four seasons with the Giants. While he was also a defensive back, Summerall was primarily a kicker, making 100 field goals and 256 of 265 extra points in his career.

The most famous was a 49-yarder through the wind and snow at Yankee Stadium that gave the Giants a 13-10 victory against the Cleveland Browns. The win gave the Giants the home field for a rematch with Cleveland in the playoffs, and a win in that game put New York in the famous title game against Baltimore.

“Pat will always be a great Giant,” team president John Mara said Tuesday. “He was one of my father’s favorites, and his game-winning kick in the snow against the Browns in 1958 is one of the most memorable plays in our franchise’s history.”

In a story distributed by the Giants, former team-

mate Frank Gifford – a longtime broadcaster himself – said Summerall was an underrated player because coach Jim Lee Howell and offensive assistant Vince Lombardi wanted to preserve him for kicking.

“Lombardi didn’t want him to get hurt,” Gifford said. “But we didn’t need him as a football player, we needed him as a kicker.

I was going both ways and doing the kicking, too. We picked him up from the Cardinals and that was the end of my kicking career.”

When asked about his fondest NFL memories during a May 2009 interview with the AP, Summerall said there were things that stood out as a player and broadcaster.

“You always remember the days as a player. I was in four championship games before there was a Super Bowl, so I remember those very well,” he said. “Broadcasting, I remember the last (Super Bowl) I did. Of course, I remember that. I remember the first one most vividly than any of the rest.”

Summerall was part of the CBS broadcast of the inaugural Super Bowl in Los Angeles on Jan. 15, 1967.

After working the first half in the broadcast booth, he switched places with Gifford at halftime and was a sideline reporter during the second half.

“To look at the Coliseum that day and see that there were like 40,000 empty seats and the most expensive ticket was $12, it’s incredible to realize what was going on and what it’s grown to over the years,” he said during the 2009 AP interview. “It’s sort of staggering to me.”

Summerall, who spent his final years in the Dallas area, living in Southlake, was a member of the North

Texas Super Bowl host committee for the game played there in February 2011 in the $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium that opened in 2009.

“His presence at an NFL game elevated that event to a higher level,” Jones said.

“There is no question that Pat broadcast more Dallas games on CBS and FOX than any other man, and this is a great loss for thousands of Cowboys fans who spent their Sunday afternoons in the living room with Pat.” Summerall became a play-by-play announcer in 1974, and it was strictly by accident. He was working with Jack Buck, and CBS boss Bob Wussler thought the two commentators sounded too much alike.

Summerall told Wussler that if a change was going to be made that he’d like to do play-by-play, and the following Sunday that’s what Summerall was doing.

After his final game with Madden, Summerall remained a full-time broadcaster for Fox one more season, doing primarily Dallas Cowboys games during the 2002 season. He decided to step down the following year when he realized he would spend most of the season away from home.

Summerall did a handful of NFL games for Fox and ESPN the next few seasons. He did play-by-play for Fox’s broadcast of the Cotton Bowl’s games from 2007-10, then for the bowl’s 75th anniversary in January 2011 conducted interviews as part of the pregame show and game broadcast.

He also had voiceovers that were part of Masters broadcasts for CBS and game broadcasts on NFL Network.

Funeral arrangements were incomplete.

Knicks’ Rasheed Wallace retires again from NBA GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — New York Knicks forward Rasheed Wallace retired again from the NBA on Wednesday after he was unable to recover from a left foot injury.

Shortly after coach Mike Woodson said Wallace was still struggling with soreness, the Knicks made the announcement in a press release.

“Rasheed has given this team everything he had,” Woodson said in the statement. “He is a winner, true professional and leader on and off the court. Due to his injury, he will not be available to play for us during the playoffs. We owe this season’s success to veterans like Rasheed.”

It’s a damaging blow for the Knicks, who loaded up on veteran big men this season but have now lost two of them for good in Kurt Thomas and Wallace, and have gotten almost nothing from Marcus Camby.

Also, Amare Stoudemire’s status for the postseason is unclear as he recovers from right knee surgery.

The Knicks added another big man Wednesday by signing Earl Barron.

Wallace, 38, ended a two-year retirement this season to join the

Knicks and play for Woodson, who was an assistant in Detroit when Wallace helped the Pistons win the 2004 NBA title. The 6-foot-11 forward was a key player off the bench during the Knicks’ strong start, but hadn’t played since December before returning Monday against Charlotte.

Wallace, who had surgery to repair a broken left foot on Feb. 28, lasted only 4 minutes before exiting because of continued soreness.

Woodson said during the Knicks’ morning shootaround that Wallace was still bothered by pain and it wasn't known if he would be able to play Saturday against Boston in the postseason opener.

“Again, it’s not my foot, so I don't know,” Woodson said. "I mean, as long as I've known him, he's had a high tolerance for pain, but obviously it's bothering him and we’re going to have to be cautious of that.”

The Knicks expect Tyson Chandler (bulging disk) and Kenyon Martin (sprained left ankle) to be ready for the opener.

Thomas was waived recently to free up a roster spot after his season ended because of a stress fracture in his foot. The Knicks were

hoping Wallace would be able to give them a few minutes a game in the postseason, but Woodson acknowledged earlier Wednesday that the soreness was a “big problem.”

“Again guys, I'm not a doctor and I've never had foot problems, so I can't even begin to relate to what these cats are going through.

But only thing (is) I feel for them, because I do know that they do want to be on the floor,” Woodson said. “They feel like that they can help us and right now that's not the case with Rasheed.”

Wallace retired after helping the Celtics reach the 2010 NBA Finals. Woodson reached out to him in the offseason about a comeback, seeking Wallace's defensive toughness and veteran leadership.

But Wallace could only deliver it for 21 games in his 15th season, averaging 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in about 14 minutes per game.

Woodson said Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith and Jason Kidd also won't play Wednesday in the regular-season finale against Atlanta. He added that Quentin Richardson, who was signed Tuesday, could play significant minutes with the Knicks so short-handed.

Rasheed Wallace announced his retirement from the NBA Wednesday.

Mountaineers set to take on St. Francis (Pa.) By amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team continues its spring season on the road as it travels to St. Francis Sunday.

The Mountaineers (1-11) will look to get their first road win of the season after playing to a 0-0 finish against Pittsburgh last weekend. West Virginia created many scoring chances, but its inability to score was a reoccurring theme of 2012’s season.

The Red Flash should create some challenges for WVU according to head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

“We’ve formatted this spring season to really kind of go after some things that we think we needed to work on after last fall,” he said.

“One of those things was to find ways to grind out re-

sults on the road. This would be our third road game already this spring with another one still to come.

“St. Francis is going to be a very difficult team to play against because they’re very well organized. They are one of those teams that people let their guard down against.

Every year in and out, they exceed expectations. We have a lot of respect for Michael Casper; I know him well and he’s a very, very good coach. He will have his team very prepared and up for us.”

LeBlanc mentioned how St. Francis has always played tough against schools similar to a West Virginia. The Mountaineers will need to continue to be aggressive offensively, while not giving up big plays on defense. The Red Flash has seven games scheduled for the spring season. With another ap-

pearance in the Northeast Conference championship match, St. Francis has already faced the Harrisburg City Islanders of the United Soccer League (USL), Penn State, Pitt-Johnstown, Davis & Elkins and Millersville.

West Virginia will be the last game for SFU. St. Francis is coming off a 6-7-7 record including a 4-3-3 conference mark. Junior midfielder Nick Kolarac led the way with five goals, three assists and 13 points last season.

The Red Flash had some good results last season including a 1-0 win over Cincinnati and a 1-1 tie against Pittsburgh. In the Northeast Conference Tournament, St. Francis defeated the No. 1 seed in Quinnipiac before falling to No. 2 seeded Fairleigh Dickinson. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

college basketball

Smart to return to Oklahoma State for sophomore season STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Bucking the one-anddone trend across college basketball, Big 12 player of the year Marcus Smart announced Wednesday he will return for his sophomore season at Oklahoma State with a team that will be loaded with professional prospects.

Proclaiming he’s a “Cowboy at heart,” Smart said he made his decision after consulting with his family and praying on it, and knowing fully what he could be passing up by skipping this chance to enter the NBA draft as a likely top-five pick.

“There’s a lot of speculation going. I’ve been bashed and criticized that I probably made a mistake of coming back here, the NBA will be there, I should have took it, and this year’s draft class is much weaker than next year’s,” said Smart, who led the Cowboys by averaging 15.4 points and 4.2 assists last season.

“But I think I made the right decision,” he said. “All that was telling me, from those people that said that, is they don’t have confidence in my ability and my game to compete with those players next year.

You guys have given me that confidence to do that, so I chose to stay here. I’m aware of how much money I am giving up.”

“I’ve wanted to be a college quarterback since I was 8 years old. So to have the opportunity in front me at such a great institution with such great players is a dream come true.”

Some players, such as senior defensive lineman Will Clarke, see Saturday as more of a game than practice.

The crowd and coaching positioning make it compa-

With Smart leading the way at the point, Oklahoma State made it back to the NCAA tournament after a three-year absence and finished the season with a 24-9 record. He joined Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley, both former No. 2 NBA draft picks, as the only players to sweep the Big 12’s player of the year and freshman of the year honors.

But Smart decided that “OSU is where I wanted to be for one more year and enjoy being a kid.”

“It was a hard decision to make. I love you guys,” Smart said at a news conference held in a threestory atrium at the center of OSU’s student union, with onlookers lined up at the railings to watch. I’m a Cowboy at heart. So it looks like I’m coming back for my sophomore year.”

Teammate Kamari Murphy rushed up from the side of the stage to give Smart a big hug. Moments earlier, the team’s second- and third-leading scorers – Markel Brown and Le’Bryan Nash – told the crowd they’d also be returning.

“Even though we all could have did what we dreamed of, it’ll still be there after next year,” said Brown, who averaged 15.3 points.

back, coach Travis Ford’s team will have among the highest expectations of any team in the country next season. Immediately after Smart’s announcement, a lone fan started chanting “Final Four!”

Last season, the Cowboys finished third in the Big 12 and earned a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament before getting upset in their opener by Pac12 tournament champion Oregon for a disappointing finish.

“All my life, I’ve been a winner, you know, backto-back state championships and then to come in and finally make the NCAA tournament. Just all my life I’ve been winning,” Smart said. “But this team, I felt like we had a lot more to accomplish. We were a lot better team than that.

That’s just not the way we wanted to go out. It helped me a little bit to get motivated to come back this year.”

Smart had said as recently as Monday, at a banquet where he received the Wayman Tisdale Award as the nation’s top freshman, that he hadn’t made his decision yet. But Ford said Smart informed him that night, after speaking with Michigan State coach Tom Izzo and national player of the year Trey Burke from Michigan, that he intended

of things that we need to do along the way,” he said.

“Those were all steps that we didn’t want to take until we had the final votes. We didn’t want to spend any time or money until then.”

Building a new stadium for the Mountaineer baseball team will be one of the biggest steps toward being able to compete with Big 12 teams from a recruiting standpoint.

to come back.

Ford told him to sleep on it and talk to him Tuesday, then made him keep thinking about it for a few more hours before Oklahoma State formalized plans for his announcement.

“When he told me, I was relieved for him because it’s been, as you can imagine, a

very stressful time trying to decide, with so many people, hearing from so many different sides,” Ford said.

“Obviously, I was excited, and I told him I was excited because he was excited. I told him he knows I would love to coach all these guys another year but I understand both sides of it. I un-

derstand it very well. ‘’All we kept telling these guys, ‘Do what you want to do, and do what’s going to excite you.’ If you say you’re going to come back, I want you to say it with a smile. If you say you want to go to the NBA, say it with a smile.

Whatever it is, I want you to be happy.”

“Morgantown is in the north-central part of the state, and there’s a nice community here where the people really enjoy their baseball,” Luck said. “Baseball players will come out to the ballpark and take it seriously, and that’s what we want.

“It’ll be something that a lot of people will enjoy because, to be honest with you, there’s not a whole lot

going on in the summer in Morgantown.”

As for Hawley Field, Luck said that there are no plans in place currently, but there are a few ways they could use the space.

Hawley Field is currently the fourth-oldest baseball stadium among Big 12 Conference schools. WVU has played seven nonconference home games at Hawley Field this season and

will face Pitt in Morgantown April 30 in its final true home game of the season.

The Mountaineers are currently playing their Big 12 home games in Charleston and Beckley.

“We’ve spent some time looking over our master plan for the Coliseum complex, and we’ve been waiting to make sure that we could get the new ballpark before we really focused

on what the space at Hawley Field could be used for,” Luck said. “The short answer is that we don’t know yet, but there are a lot of possibilities we’re looking into.

“There are certainly a lot of needs for us to look at, but we haven’t made any decisions in particular about anything yet.”

air quite as many times as he has been accustomed to in the past, since regardless of who eventually wins the starting quarterback job for the Mountaineers, West Virginia won’t necessarily have an experienced, battle-tested player taking the snaps.

Both Millard, who’s only served as a backup, and Childress, who is a redshirt freshman, will likely be learning just as much on the fly in games as they have during the entire offseason.

This means that it would be sensible for West Virginia to look for some stability and consistent pro-

duction right away from its running game, which is actually returning some familiar personnel in Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison, both who have had success at various points during their time in Morgantown.

Holgorsen actually showed at times that he was indeed willing to pound the ball on the ground when it was necessary, something that turned some of his critics’ heads. But when it came down to it, Holgorsen always had Smith, Bailey and Austin as contingencies.

But now, without that electric triumvirate of offensive personnel this sea-

son, Holgorsen will have to find new ways to consistently move the ball down field, which may even include straying a bit from his notorious “Air Raid” mentality.

One thing is for sure – even though he’s already been able to deal with various waves of adversity in his two full seasons at the helm of the West Virginia University football program, the 2013 season will provide even more challenges for Holgorsen, including quite a few that he’s not yet encountered as coach of the Mountaineers.

rable to a normal fall Saturday at Mountaineer Field.

Because of this, Clarke is looking forward to showing the younger, inexperienced players the ropes.

“For the older guys, it makes it more like a practice,” Clarke said. “But I would say the whole game atmosphere when you’re adding fans, and coaches are going in the box. No matter how much we make it out to be a practice, it is more like a game.

“I’m looking forward to having a good game, teaching and learning more and

carrying that into fall camp.”

Running back Dustin Garrison may be listed as a junior on the depth chart, but Saturday will be the Pearland, Texas, native’s first Spring Game.

Garrison, who tore his ACL at the end of his freshman season and sat out his sophomore spring, is looking forward to proving he’s back to where he was during his impressive rookie season.

Garrison never seemed to get back to 100 percent as a sophomore, in terms of physical health.

“I’m just trying to go out there and show everyone I’m back to where I was before,” Garrison said. “With my injury, it was hard for me last year to make plays. But right now I’m feeling 100 percent and that I’m back.”

Saturday may technically just be a intrasquad scrimmage open to the general public, but clearly, each player feels the game bears some importance – even though there is no winner or loser.
