FRIDAY NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 11, 11, 2016 2016 FRIDAY

Those damn frat boys acting up again. Wow. My female friend was spit on yesterday. Unacceptable. Nauseating. Losers. MAGA. Crybaby liberals still trying to get their participation trophy of attention. Better protest harder next time, he may just magically disappear. I’m tired of my friends getting beat up because they aren’t white. F*ckboys. F*ck political correctness And so it begins... Come on WVU we are better than this. Would you say this in front of your mom? Let’s all grow up please. A key aspect of our constitution is freedom of speech. Go home. You lost. #soft. Make America Great America. No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA. #FratsAreF*gs. Make America Great Again. Eliminate Greek Life. Your base missed its chance to mobilize. I feel like these slurs would be made by a frat house regardless. Welcome to Morgantown. F*ck women’s rights. Trump was elected President, fair and square. Remaining divided does nothing but harm. Walking around protesting won’t change the fact. I’m just dumbfounded. Maybe they should wrap kerosene rags around their ankles so fire ants don’t crawl up an bite their candy asses. People won’t unite until Trump’s primary supporters back off of the harassment, bullying, and trolling like pissed off teenagers thats for sure. Educated idiots who want free everything and don’t understand their future. #ImpeachTrump. Yay Millennials! F*ck Hillary. Dumbasses. Clueless morons fueled by the media. If they worked and wasn’t supported by their parents they wouldn’t have time to protest. Trump won West Virginia by a landslide. What happened with the US? It scares me that these people were allowed to vote. B*tches that are used to getting things their way. I’ll be honest, some of the sexism and racism I hear in the fraternal organizations unsettles me. F*ck Trump. A few bad apples, but it’s scary to think that this is their mindset being young men in college, educating themselves. Probably the most exerting thing they’ve done in their lives so far. FAIL. F*ggot. They are two-time losers, first supporting the Bern.... Goodmorning to everyone, except for people who voted Trump and WVU frat boys. This is why I don’t feel safe on this campus right now. Punk azz biotch. Graduate, try and find a job, pay taxes and get back to me. SO STUPID. Can’t show your face? Millenials at their finest...smh. Young and ignorant of the real world. #NotMyPresident. Classy. If ya hate Trump that much and are that unhappy about it just get the f*ck out of America, otherwise shut the f*ck up. How cute. Wah. Are they willing to go to war over this? Make America Great Again. Trump was elected President fair and square. Only thing to do is to move foward together and see waht happens. If I saw a bunch of damn crybabies I would’ve swerved at the stupid f*cks. Is this what Moses felt when he came down from the mountain to find the Israelites worshipping a golden calf and looking backward? Lmao...a Che flag?? Oh, the irony. SO STUPID. You all are free to attend school at USC! I’m sure half of them actually voted for Trump! I was a gay woman on WVU’s campus for four years and never faced that kind of bigotry. It never surfaced until the election. We live in a country full of racist bigots and this election proves it. Sad that already on WVU’s campus people have been hurt over this election. If you aren’t upset about how Trump treats women and everyone else but white males, then you have privilege. Looks like we need to go show our support of Trump since these liberal snowflakes want to cause a scene. Sounds like a real stand up crowd. God forbid the frats get called out for their decades of bullsh*t. Proof of why WVU is an inferior school. Yo those dudes really screamed “f*ck women’s rights” at the end ok. We are going to be so f*cked. A key aspect of our constitution is freedom of speech. An 8th grader told me she was glad Trump won because she hates gays. I asked her why and she said, “It’s against my religion.” F*ck Trump. F*ck women’s rights.

“We are ONE WVU and our community must be a safe, supportive home for all Mountaineers.” - E. Gordon Gee

Election turmoil sparks University response

ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

BY JENNIFER GARDNER MANAGING EDITOR

“The only thing we will not tolerate is intolerance.” That was the key part of a letter WVU President E. Gordon Gee wrote Thursday in response to two days of heated reactions to the election. “Following a hard-fought election, we all have questions, concerns and hopes. Emotions are running high on our campus, as they are throughout the country. Like you, I have few answers about what the future holds for our nation. But I am confident about what it holds for West Virginia University, where our shared values must outweigh our differences.” Gee took the unusual step of writing a letter to the WVU community after social media and protests erupted on cam-

pus following the results of Tuesday’s election. After The DA posted a video of an anti-Trump march on Wednesday night, responses from students and community members flooded in, saying things like “B*tches that are used to getting things their way,” and “What happened with the U.S.” among dozens of others. Aly Turner, a student from Maryland, lead the march from South High Street to Sunnyside. She organized the protest because she wanted to “start affirming humanity in the town.” The group of more than 30 participants gathered, formed a circle and began speaking one at a time, voicing their concerns over the meaning of Trump’s election. The group interlocked arms

and began the march. They alternated between chants, including: “We have voices, give us choices” and “The people, united, we’ll never be divided/ defeated.” “Everyone in attendance was there simply because we felt the electorate did not speak for us,” said Katie Adase, a participant in the march. “It was not about socialism or democrats or anarchy, gay rights, women’s rights, or anything specific, just people who felt their voices were not heard during this election.” In direct response to Trump, the protesters yelled “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!” and “f*ck Trump! When the march turned toward Fraternity Row, shouts of “f*ck women’s rights” and epithets like “faggot” were yelled in response to the group.

Emotions ran high. As a member of the LGBTQ community, Turner said within the past couple of days, people have been increasingly using hateful slurs towards her, like “f*ggot” and “p*ssy licker.” She said people have joked about their excitement for “less women’s rights” and how women will “finally find ‘their’ place in ‘white America’ aka below men and subservient.” “I’m trying to mobilize a movement about affirming humanity,” Turner said. “People that participated (in the march) received the message that their voices are not silenced. People realized that they can articulate the environment they expect to have, to feel safe and respected in the community.” In response to the sentiments around campus, the University is encouraging dia-

logue among students. “Any of these kinds of negative engagements are not positive,” said David Fryson, vice president of the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “There is a way to express ourselves.” Fryson said WVU should be seen as a model of civility. “We have to change the nature of the conversation to how we can move forward as a country,” he said. “Even in our disagreements, we can have positive dialogue.” Dean of Students Corey Farris said he heard both sides of the protest while in his office. “I certainly support everyone’s right to express their opinion, but I want people to do it in a peaceful and respectful way,” he said. “I’m not one who wants to suppress people’s freedom of expression. I sup-

port all sides of it as long as it is respectful.” The University believes community members should “embrace one another and stand for unity and inclusion.” “We have to stand up against any kind of violence or threats or intimidation because that is also part of protecting speech,” said WVU Provost Joyce McConnell. Gee tweeted on Wednesday: “As our nation moves forward, remember to be kind and listen to each other. Move toward understanding and respect the rights of every person.” At 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 14, the Student Government Association will host a Unity Circle in Woodburn Circle.

Veterans of WVU seeks space for community BY JENNIFER GARDNER MANAGING EDITOR

Not only is there hardly a community of veterans at WVU, according to Laura Bowen, WVU student and president of Veterans of WVU, there isn’t a place to form the bonds for one. The community has been pushing for a Veteran’s Center the past several years; a place where they can study and socialize, a place to make the transition into civilian life a little easier. “Just having a place where veterans can find someone just like them, for even a few minutes between classes, would be helpful because it’s a relationship we miss,” she said. “This would give us a place where we could easily meet people like us, because we don’t have that right now.” A justification written up

for the center describes it as a place that would coordinate the academic, financial, physical and social needs of student veterans. Director of WVU Veterans Affairs Jerry McCarthy said the center would give veterans time to transition. “We’ve gotta give them the time to integrate back into society,” he said. “We’ve got to give them time to be with each other and at some point, we’ve got to give them time to be part of the larger academic landscape so they can trust people.” McCarthy said he’s been working on getting a veterans center for five years. “You can imagine just for a second, they leave the service and hop right back into education, and look at what they’ve left and what they’re used to,” he said. “Giving them a home so they have the ability to lean

on each other a little bit is something we’ve been working on.” He said having a space would not only provide a home but a place for veterans to succeed. “I’d like to raise my graduation rate, I’d like to raise my retention rate and I’d like to have a community where if they need help, they know where to get it,”

McCarthy said. Several faculty members have volunteered to provide support to the center, including Matthew Condliffe who is in charge of the WVU Veterans Law Caucus. He would like to be able to access and assist student veterans in working on claims through the Veterans

Administration. “It’s one of those things you know is going to happen, you just don’t quite know when,” McCarthy said. “When you’re about 3.8 percent of the population, you don’t get as much notice.” He said while finding volunteers for the center has been easy, money and space is hard to find. Peter Allen, 31 from Morgantown, went from being a radio operator in the Marines to a student at WVU, and is now in his fourth year. He has three years left in school before he will earn his degree in occupational therapy. For him, adjusting back into civilian life brought anxiety, and he struggled with finding support. While the resources were out there, he didn’t trust them and feared being labeled. At first, he struggled with

ensuring everything got done in the day. “When you’re in the military, the order is just there. You wake up, you go to accountability formation, you go to (physical training), you go to work, then the evening is your free time and then you do it all again the next day,” he said. He believes the center would be a valuable resource for veterans facing similar struggles with the transition. “We want to have one single center of space that we can come to on campus whenever we have time to kill between classes,” he said. “Non-veteran students do not really understand the personalities of veterans, and we’re a different breed. Our conversations are a lot rougher than civilians are used to and cover a whole entire spectrum.”

National organization focuses on veteran assimilation BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR

The Morgantown chapter of Team Red White and Blue, a national organization whose aim is to help veterans assimilate after they return from the war, has 240 members. The organization welcomes veterans and non-veterans to build community.According to the Team RWB mission statement, the organization’s mission is to “enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity.” Mike Paugh is a marine corps veteran and a team

co-captain for Morgantown’s chapter of Team RWB. Paugh said Team RWB isn’t just for veterans straight out of service. “Even if (veterans) have been out for a while and they’re having problems interacting, they can come to Team Red White and Blue and do social activities (like) getting together for dinners and the running group,” Paugh said. The organization welcomes veterans and community members to partake in activities such as group runs, crossfit, community service and monthly socials. “I think it could be a lesson of coming together and estab-

lishing a comradery between the two,” Paugh said. “Non-veterans don’t necessarily know what the veterans have been through, and they can obviously understand that coming from the viewpoint of the veterans. Also the veterans coming back from active duty— living a military lifestyle for so long—I think the non-veteran community can help them interact back into society.” Professor Allison Hetrick, an athletic trainer for WVU and non-veteran member of Team RWB, works to get the organization tickets to WVU games. “Team RWB is slightly different than the VFW or the American Legion as they tend to be

types of bars,” Hetrick said. “RWB is centered around positive social interactions as well as physical activity.” The activities the Morgantown chapter of Team Red White and Blue partake in are mainly physical, but that doesn’t mean they lack a community aspect. Waugh said Team RWB was open to those that weren’t physically active, as well. “If you just want to part of the social aspect, that’s awesome. If you find yourself bored and alone and you want to be part of a group we’re here for you,” Waugh said. “You can interact with us, you can participate as much as you want or as

little as you want. It’s up to you.” Kellyn Cassell, another Team RWB co-captain said that community members and veterans help each other find a sense of fellowship with others. “Studies have shown that daily life is often the biggest disconnect for veterans, and there is a whole a stigma around PTSD,” Cassell said. “We realize that it is a real problem, but I think community is the biggest thing a lot of people, whether they are veterans or not, are searching for.” Cassell said veterans have a large social adjustment to make once they leave active duty. “When they’re deployed or

active they have a strong, closeknit community that they live with and rely on 100 percent, all the time,” Cassell said. “Then they get out on their own and I feel like they lose a lot of that, and they feel more disconnected than the rest of us…” Team RWB hopes to help veterans reclaim their identity and sense of community, Cassell said. “A big part of a veterans identity is being there for others,” Cassell said. “When they’re not there for others, not able to serve others, they feel like they’re losing something.” For more information on Team RWB, visit http://teamrwb.org/.

Hearts of Gold dogs oﬀer emotional support for veterans BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD STAFF WRITER

Hearts of Gold, a Morgantown-based nonprofit organization, raises, trains and places service dogs for veterans or individuals with mobility impairment and post-traumatic stress disorder. Lindsay Parenti, the Hearts of Gold Director of Program Operations, knows the program struggles in some aspects, but appreciates how the program is helping the community. “It is difficult, we struggle financially,” Parenti said. “We struggle with time, as I am the only employee. My students, volunteers and I do everything related to the program.” The program was established 10 years ago with Human-Animal Bond and WVU’s Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design for a service dog training courses for students. Hearts of Gold is the only program in Morgantown that helps veterans and individuals with disabilities become placed with service dogs. Since 2007, WVU expanded to three service dog training classes: service dog training, animal learning and animal-assisted interventions. Service dog training teaches students about behavioral analysis techniques, basic obedience and skill training, grooming, canine cognition and research evaluation. Samantha Hoopengarner, junior psychology student, took service dog training to become a foster mom to a 7-month-old Golden Retriever.

Gabby and Lady share a chew toy at the “Pet a Pup!” event for students in the Mountainlair commons in March 2016. The event involved students training dogs for Hearts of Gold. “It has been a great learning experience. I’ve had dogs all my life and have worked in the pet industry. I learned that training these dogs has a lot to do with psychology,” Hoopengarner said. “Not only rewarding them for when they do something right but conditioning them to learn new and more complex tasks or tricks.” Hoopengarner has trained one dog since she began the program in the beginning of the spring 2016 semester. Within 10 years, Hearts of Gold placed 21 dogs and six therapy dogs at WVU Colleges. Several hundred WVU students have enrolled in the courses, according to Parenti. In each course offered at WVU, students may foster a dog, but are not required to do so. Each year, eight to 12 WVU students foster service dogs. Some care for them until they ready to be placed with a per-

son in need, typically after two years of training. After completing the training program and a successful evaluation, the dogs are placed with people with disabilities. Hearts of Gold especially focuses on veterans who have PTSD. “We hope to conduct research that will demonstrate the benefits of service dogs for veterans with PTSD,” Parenti said. “This will lead to assistance in funding for the service dogs for our veterans and will provide a non-medication way for veterans to fight their illness.” The Hearts of Gold dogs live in Quarry Meadows, an all-inclusive community with special emphasis on elders, children in foster care and individuals who have disabilities. Quarry Meadows provides a home for the program’s fostered service dogs until they are placed in their forever home.

Students sound oﬀ: Presidential Election results BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR

The most volatile election season of all time has finally come to a close, but the tensions from it certainly haven’t. Many students have felt this tension, whether it’s on campus, in their classrooms or at the family dinner table. The votes have been counted and the nation’s decision has been made, but the aftermath of that decision for all sides remain to be seen. One thing is certain, we as college students are the youth and the future. So what do we think?

“I am hoping [Trump] does what he said he would do with tax reform and Obamacare.” -Justin Booth Senior Energy Land Management student Morgantown, WV

“I assumed Trump would win, so I am not upset about it, but I am not excited either.” -Rebecca Hastings Sophomore Criminology student Morgantown, WV

“The best we can do is look forward, and hope that [Trump] does a good job.” -Mathew Yeager Freshman general studies student Oceana, WV

“Other countries view Trump with not much seriousness.” -Bryanna Park Senior Nursing student Hurricane, WV

“I look forward to change the most.” -Dalton Spillan Sophomore Marketing student Newark, DE

“The one thing I am maybe looking forward to is the end of this political correctness phase.” -Dax Mennillo Senior Geology student Parkersburg, WV

“I like that Trump does not like political correctness, but I believe he takes it too far.” -Matt Cottrill Senior International Studies student Clarksburg, WV

“Now that Trump is president, I am concerned about the LGBTQ community and minorities.” -Julie Vevers Senior Forensics student Pittsburgh, PA

“I am concerned about the wall, we do not need to be spending money on that.” -Samantha Collin Freshman Undecided student Snowshoe, WV

-“I am really scared that he is going to set back the rights that LGBTQ community has fought for.” -Chelsea Harper Freshman Journalism student Parkersburg, WV PHOTOS BY RYAN WALTERS / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

On Nov. 11, 1995 The West Virginia Veterans Memorial was dedicated. “As we dedicate this monument, we will never forget the pain of loss. But in the darkness, we see light. Each veteran we honor today makes us proud to be a West Virginian, proud to be an American. Our nation faces many internal and international crises that will determine our history. Greed and hatred are still with us today, torching our vision of a free and powerful America. But we must continue our battle with a deeply rooted hope and belief in a brighter tomorrow.” -Governor Gaston Caperton, at the dedication

Morgantown Theater Company seeks “Holy Grail” BY EMILY ZEKONIS STAFF WRITER The Metropolitan theater presents a unique twist on the legend of King Arthur in Morgantown Theater Company’s production of the musical comedy “Spamalot” from Nov. 10 through 13. Incredibly talented students from grades 2 through 12 have been working on their English accents and comedic timing for weeks to put on the musical stage version of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” in “Spamalot”. The company presents the story of King Arthur and his

chaotic, yet humorous, quest to assemble the Knights of the Round Table and tap dance his way to find the holy grail with characters straight off the big screen from the original movie. “I play the French Taunter, and that’s the best part for me,” said 16-year-old Max D’audiffret. “It’s an iconic scene and character people recognize; it’s great dry humor.” Even at seemingly young ages, the company is well versed in its Monty Python history. Audience members can expect to see authentic props, right down to coconut

shell horse hooves to carry Arthur and his motley crew as they follow the directions of the Lady of the Lake and “find their grail.” “I was raised on Monty Python,” said Josie Kemp-Rye, age 14, attributing her success in portraying “Not-Dead Fred” to her knowledge of Monty Python from a young age. “It’s amazing that I got to see the movie and now I’m living it.” “Spamalot” is part of MTC’s 10 year anniversary at the Metropolitan Theater on High Street, however the program has been around for much longer than that,

bringing young performers together since around 1998. This non-profit programs strives to foster talent, confidence and a feeling of home. “I have been doing MTC for about 13 years now,” said Rhowyn Saffel, age 17, who is portraying the Lady of the Lake. “This is my legacy, this is where my home is and I am so grateful for the family I have here.” For years MTC has been creating a family that works together to support and motivate each other to bring out their best performance, and the “Spamalot” cast, who is “All for One”, is no exception.

“It’s a show with some adult humor, but we all worked so hard to pull it off, and I really think we are doing it,” Saffel said. “We’re all having so much fun and I think that is what shows on stage.” Students cannot wait for the community to come see their show and to celebrate hours and weeks of hard work and dedication, all while trying to balance their school work as well. “It’s hilarious,” cast members Kemp-Rye, Scarlet Mebane, Mary-Claire Byron and Evelyn Roskos, all age 14, yelled when asked why people should come see the

show. “There’s not one serious scene,” Mebane said. “If you’re looking for a laugh, we can make it happen.” Tickets for the production held at the Metropolitan Theater on High Street are $12 for adults and $10 for those age 12 and under, available on http:// Ticketmaster.com or at the WVU Box Office. The show runs from Nov. 10 through Nov. 13 with performances at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Captain Catfeesh’s “A VHS Guide to Indigenous Cryptids” BY NICK KOBANHOGUE MUSIC DIRECTOR, U92 With all of the recent divisiveness happening in the world, it’s good to wbe able to take a step back and find something that we can all agree on: cryptids are cool as hell. Captain Catfeesh is a Morgantown-based, self-proclaimed ‘cryptobilly/ Appalachian crypto-punk’ band with heavy influences from artists like Mudhoney and The Butthole Surfers. the newest album, “A VHS Guide to Indigenous Cryptids,” marks the group’s sixth release as a band. This album stays true to its lackadaisical blues rock routes, but steps up the game on concept and overall production quality. As for the concept, Captain Catfeesh chose (obviously)

the local cryptozoology of West Virginia. For those not in the know about paranormal folklore, cryptozoology is the study of animals that may or may not be extinct (alternatively, may or may not exist). Popular cryptid examples include Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster and the chupacabra. With West Virginia’s rich culture, there is no shortage of localized cryptids. Catfeesh tackle tales of the Flatwoods monster, the Yeti and of course the infamous Point Pleasant Mothman. The theme is supplemented by the lo-fi recording style, giving it a feeling of being played over an old transistor radio.

paranoid monster-hunters, but are really having fun with the local legends. However, this is far from a

novelty record. Heavy repetitive riffs and simple drums serve to focus the listener on what Captain Catfeesh does best, the high energy vocals. The singing on this album shifts back and forth between two voices. The verses, sung in a swaying rockabilly croon, are a little lackluster. Sometimes simply filling the gaps between the hooks with something easy to sing along to. The choruses, always accompanied by an explosive breakdown, come in with a low, bellowing growl, signaling live listeners to stop swaying and start running into each other. This is personally my introduction to Captain Catfeesh, and this album marks a significant change of style for the band as well. Compared to its previous releases, this album feels much

more energetic and confident. The screeching and growled sections are new to Captain Catfeesh, but they are a welcome addition, adding much-needed variety to the sound. It’s during these breakdowns that Captain Catfeesh earn the ‘punk’ tag, but the fusion of multiple genres is always apparent. If I had to compare the sound of the band to another group, the closest I could muster would be the Toadies played through a 1920’s radio. I encourage anyone who has ever enjoyed headbanging to check out this album on Captain Catfeesh’s BandCamp page and keep an eye out for its name on the bill for local shows. The CD release party will be hosted at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 at Kamp Krusty in Rivesville, WV.

Stick Tattoo Company proud to ink veterans BY JEFFREY SCOTT CORRESPONDENT

The military has a long history of tattoos, with many soldiers proudly adorning their skin with images like the American flag, symbols from their branch or other patriotic artwork. For any veterans wanting some fresh ink, Stick Tattoo Company in Morgantown might be the perfect studio to turn to. Stick Tattoo Company, located in the Suncrest Towne Center, welcomes veterans by offering a discount to those who come in on Veterans Day. Among the talented artists at Stick is Andrew Pack-

ard, who served in the Navy from 2008 until 2012. “My time in the Navy influences my path, makes me give 110 percent and helps give me diligence to put details in my tattoos,” Packard said, while inking a large dragon on customer Shawn Eddy’s chest. Stick is also known for its charity work, through campaigns such as Tats for Tots, Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the 9/11 Never Forget Tattoo Tribute Giveaway, where all first responders and military personal who came in on September 11th got 10 percent off their appointment. “I give veterans a discount because I know the hard work they do, I know the sacrifices they make,” Packard said. “So I try and extend a tribute to the fact I consider them all my brothers.”

FASHION FRIDAY

Concert merch: fashion must have

by Alainia Conrad,Fashion Columnist

Although classic band t-shirts have long been a wardrobe staple, the idea of merch has moved from casual wear to a high-fashion essential. Tyler, the Creator and the OFWGKTA collective started Odd Future, a clothing line that included bright-colored hoodies and t-shirts decorated with cartoon donuts and cats. Tyler, the Creator eventually branched off from Odd Future to focus on his alternate Golf Wang clothing line. Since its founding in 2010, Golf Wang has appeared in “Vogue” and “GQ,” and had its first fashion show in the summer of 2016. Although always associated with the music of OFWGKTA, both the Odd Future and Golf Wang brands extended beyond traditional artist merch into more of a strictly fashion brand. Recently, Kanye West emerged as the king of the merch-as-high-fashion movement. Of course, the rapper has his Yeezy Season clothing line and sneaker collaboration with Adidas, but his concert t-shirts have emerged as another must-have for the fashion crowd. The merch from the tour supporting his 2013 album Yeezus included t-shirts and jackets, and was available at retail locations like PacSun. Now, Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo merchandise is for sale at his Saint Pablo tour stops and pop-up shops around the

country, including hoodies, T-shirts, long sleeves and denim jackets emblazoned with lyrics from the album, as well as airbrush style T-shirts printed with the face of his deceased mother, Donda West and the late Robert Kardashian, notorious lawyer and Kim Kardashian’s father. As one of this year’s most coveted brands, “The Life of Pablo” merch has inspired countless knock-offs. Travi$ Scott went way above and beyond a standard merch line with his 60-piece “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” line that included—in addition to clothing—pillows, blankets, toothbrushes and condoms. Travi$ Scott even offered fans a free piece from the merchandise line with the purchase of his album. Justin Bieber’s Purpose Tour merch is another example of artist merchandise as a fashion brand, with exclusive items available for purchase on the tour website, and at common mall retailers PacSun and Forever 21. Band merch and even tour specific merchandise has evolved in recent years. With more artists making their merchandise available online and in-store as extensive clothing lines, consumers no longer need to even attend a tour stop for the merch. A concert shirt is no longer a memento from a show as much as it is a fashion statement and extension of the artist as a brand.

DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “They’re playing for bowl eligibility, they’re playing for a lot of stuff that we can’t control, and we’re not going to worry about, so we’re going to worry about us but this is a quality opponent that we’re playing, obviously a quality program when it comes to Big 12 Championships and national championships at a place where they recruit as good as anybody in the country, so it will be a fun challenge.

No. 20 WVU opens up 2016-17 slate tonight BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER

MEN’S BASKETBALL Seven months removed from its early exit from the NCAA Tournament, the WVU basketball team gets a fresh start tonight against Mount St. Mary’s. “It’ll be an interesting game,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “They’re going to press, we’re going to press. They’re going to shoot a lot of three’s; we’ve been shooting a lot of three’s. (It’ll) be fun to watch.” The Mountaineers return

without three key pieces from last year—leading scorer Jaysean Paige, and big men Devin Williams and Jonathan Holton. However, Huggins is prepared to use as many guys as he can. “We’re going to play a lot of people,” Huggins said. “I hope we can get into other people’s bench and make them play guys that haven’t played a lot.” West Virginia’s strong suit is its guards. In 2015, the trio of Jevon Carter, Daxter Miles and Tarik Phillip followed up Paige and Williams in points per game. With Phillip predominantly coming off the bench, it gave the Mountaineers more depth

“You can run stuff in practice but you never

know how it’s going to go in a game, so these first 15 whatever games are important for that aspect. -Nathan Adrian, WVU Forward

”

that was needed for this year. “Our guards are obviously our strength,” Huggins told AthlonSports. “They’re going to have to play well on a consistent basis.” The season opener gives way for some of the Mountaineer newcomers to see some playing time especially those who sat out last year in Lamont West and James “Beetle” Bolden.

With a void left in the paint by Holton and Williams, Lamont West has emerged as a candidate to fill the space. After redshirting his first year, West scored 17 points in an October exhibition game against WVU Tech. Bolden didn’t choose to sit out; an ACL injury sidelined him, forcing him to miss his freshman year. He is someone that provides even more depth

at the guard position. Mount St. Mary’s underwent a similar situation to that of WVU’s. B.K. Ashe led the team in scoring, but he abruptly transferred. MSMU will now have to rely on an experienced class led by Junior Robinson. Robinson is an all-around threat for MSMU. Other than Ashe, the junior led his team in scoring with 12.5 points per game. MSMU head coach Jamion Christian called Robinson and Elijah Long two of his “most explosive players.” Long started in 23 games as a freshman and will continue to elevate his

game. Huggins failed to disclose who his starting five will be, but did say that Carter and Nathan Adrian are “for sure” starters. While the beginning of the season is a majority of non-conference matchups, WVU is using this time to right its wrongs and see what formula would prep it for another tournament run in March. “Just improving upon execution,” Adrian said. “You can run stuff in practice but you never know how it’s going to go in a game, so these first 15 whatever games are important for that aspect.”

Mountaineers look to stay in Big 12 race BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS WRITER

FOOTBALL With four games to go in the regular season, the WVU football team (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) is in one of the best positions it could have hoped for. All the Mountaineers need to do is win, and they can feel reasonably confident that they will end up Big 12 champions and— knock on wood—have a shot at being one of the four teams in the College Football Playoff. But the last four games are a minefield, and West Virginia can’t afford a mistake. The Mountaineers will face another tough test at noon ET on Saturday when they take on the Texas Longhorns (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) on the road in one of college football’s traditional hotbeds. But beyond that, the Mountaineers will have to stop one of the best players they’ll face all season: Texas’ bruising junior running back, D’Onta Foreman. “He has great vision, great feet, quickness,” said WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “When you think of a 250-pound back, you think straight downhill run. He can get you going in different ways. He can outrun you, we saw that last year. He’s special, he’s a really good back, great offensive team. They’re very physical, and they try to make a statement when they run the ball. We’re going to have our hands full.” Foreman has been on a path of destruction in the second half of the season, rushing for nearly 600 yards in the last two games alone—both Longhorn wins. Foreman is unique as one of the last true every-down backs in

the country, and Texas will try to use him in a classic offensive approach: establish the run, force WVU to fill the box and then hit a few big plays in single coverage from their strong-armed freshman quarterback, Shane Buechele. But West Virginia has an offense of its own, and senior quarterback Skyler Howard—coming off a game where he accounted for five total touchdowns against Kansas—returns home to Texas to face his childhood team for the last time. Longhorn head coach Charlie Strong has been known as a defensive mind for many years—in fact, his use of nickel packages at South Carolina influenced the development of WVU’s 3-3-5 defense—and earlier this season, he retook defensive play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Vance Bedford after a poor start from the Texas defense. Since then, they’ve made some strides, mostly behind their strong front seven, which switches between odd and even fronts and ranks second in the nation in sacks per game (3.78). “They’re using good technique in the pass rush, they force you into bad technique,” said offensive line coach Ron Crook. “People kind of overthink things a lot of time, it affects the way they take their pass sets, it affects their techniques. We’re going to go into it focusing on us, making sure we at least use good technique and play within ourselves and not let them out psych us.” West Virginia is no stranger from playmaking defensive fronts, and with senior running back Rushel Shell potentially on the mend from an ankle injury that kept him out last week, they’ll try to counter with their

excellent running game. Shell would return to a backfield featuring junior Justin Crawford and freshman Kennedy McKoy, both of whom topped 100 yards and set personal bests last Saturday against Kansas. McKoy especially has been a surprise, as the true freshman has averaged 9.0 yards per carry, which would rank him second in the country if he had enough rushing attempts to qualify. Texas only carries a 5-4 record, but head coach Dana Holgorsen thinks with a few more fortunate bounces, it could be 8-1. West Virginia is planning on treating Texas like the team it could be, and not the one its record indicates – in one of the

WV native Wellman embodies program with unselfish attitude BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

FOOTBALL Coaches say West Virginia senior fullback Elijah Wellman embodies everything about the program. He’s tough, hard-nosed, relentless and unselfish, to name a few traits. His greatest joy on the football field comes from watching his teammates score a touchdown—which has happened 31 times this season—after providing critical blocks on many of the Mountaineers’ touchdown drives this season. “That’s like the reward of my job,” Wellman said. “That’s what I’m looking for in my job that I’m doing. I love that—watching them run out of the corner of my eye in the end zone. That’s it right there.” The 6’1,” 240-pound senior who was raised just outside of Huntington, WV, uses every

pound of strength in his body to toughen his way over defenders and help create paths for his teammates. For three years, he watched former WVU star Owen Schmitt carve up opposing defenders from 2006-08 as the starting fullback. Schmitt was ‘the man’ for Wellman growing up, watching the Mountaineers play every Saturday at his home. Schmitt tagged alongside the formidable duo of Pat White and Steve Slaton, garnering the nickname the “Runaway Beer Truck” as he bulldozed through people. While Schmitt helped bring inordinate amounts of success to the program, for Wellman it was never about trying to become ‘the man.’ Instead, it was about playing his own brand of football. “Hard to live up to,” Wellman says of Schmitt. “That’s why I don’t try to make myself and craft myself after him. The comparison there that everyone says, that’s a pretty good comparison.

STAFF PHOTO

Elijah Wellman runs the ball into the enzone against Maryland. I’m happy with that. That’s not a bad thing at all to be completely honest. Dang good player.” During the days of watching Schmitt play while growing up just over three hours away from Morgantown, Wellman earned his hard-nosed persona throughout his childhood. He fought with his brothers and

brought that toughness to the football field. And his father was never easy on him, something he credits for molding him into the player and individual he is today. “Thank God he wasn’t because that’s who I am today,” Wellman said. “He’s made me into that. I’ve always been

roughed up as a kid, a little tough kid running around with something.” From his days in Buffalo Creek to Morgantown, the tough demeanor instilled at a young age carried over. Wellman played around 70 snaps Saturday, according to head coach Dana Holgorsen, blocking for a run game that rushed for a season-high 341 yards. Without him, the rushing attack potentially reaches a lower total. After the game, running backs coach JaJuan Seider said he was the player of the game, and just 24 hours later, he was given the Offensive Champion award by the staff for his efforts. “He was a big part of the game plan last week, we needed him to play a lot of snaps, played him more than I thought we would, but even with that said he took 70 snaps on offense, he’s typically playing about 20 snaps on special teams as well, just very unselfish and very physical,” Holgorson said. Wellman is a throwback player at the position. As football keeps evolving into more uptempo and spread offenses, one can believe the fullback is being utilized less as the years go on. It’s an effect of the constant offenses run out of the shotgun, unlike the classic I-formation run by a number of pro-style teams and those in the NFL. Yet as it’s fair to believe fullbacks are underused, it’s not the same sentiment shared by WVU. In fact, the position is a key cog in the run game. Just take a look into Saturday’s performance on the ground as Wellman roughed his way to creating blocks for running backs Justin Crawford and Kennedy McKoy. “You go back and watch the offenses that’s really good and balanced, the fullback is a big

part of it,” Seider said. “I think it’s starting to come back around. Even teams that are truly spread teams, there is still apart of you that needs to be physical. Need to be able to run the ball and put games away. I think it’s coming back more and instead of dying away.” While Wellman may not pop off the television screen by not being one of the typical skill position players, his appreciation never goes unnoticed by the coaches and teammates he sees nearly every day. Those around him find ways to give him credit and let him know the work he does But it’s something one needs to embrace to become a fullback. They fly under the radar with less of the spotlight shining on them. It’s an attitude they need to carry. “Not everything is on me. I like it,” Wellman said. “I like doing my job and staying quiet and doing some dirty work for those guys. They definitely appreciate me. They let me know that I’m doing a good job and stuff like that. It doesn’t really go unseen.” Wellman inherits the blue-collar mentality surrounding the state of West Virginia. He brings a team-first mindset, does whatever he can to help his teammates and is one of the toughest players on the field, bringing a critical blocking element to help the offense drive down the field. As Wellman goes, so do the Mountaineers. “Just a relentless, unselfish attitude,” Seider said. “Everything you talk about what a Mountaineer is. Somebody who’s willing to put their own goals (behind) the team goals. That’s what Eli is. He’s the heart and soul of our team.”
