Victory spawns riot, destruction

Authorities address members of the media during Saturday nights riot in downtown Morgantown, W.Va.

by david schlake staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Authorities responded to at least 37 fires and several arrests were made in what the authorities are calling a riot, according to the Morgantown Fire Department and the Morgantown Police Department.

Saturday was an eventful day for Morgantown, W.Va. The day began with tailgating for West Virginia’s matchup with No. 4 Baylor, and resulted in the Mountaineers handing the Bears their first loss of the season.

As the game ended, fans would attempt to rush the field and celebrate the school’s first victory over a top-five team since defeating No. 3 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl after the 2007 season.

Before students could hurdle the railing that separated the lower student section and the turf of Mountaineer Field, an announcement was made over the speakers of Milan Puskar Stadium informing fans that they would be arrested if they tried.

Even though police presence and official warnings

University responds to Saturday’s riots with official statements by evelyn merithew associate city editor @dailyathenaeum

After a night of vandalism and destruction throughout Morgantown, multiple West Virginia University officials released statements condemning the actions that took place.

WVU President E. Gordon Gee released a statement expressing his concerns and sadness over the actions of the students who took part.

“This is not acceptable Mountaineer behavior. It is not ‘partying’ to set fires, tear down fences or throw bottles at police. It is criminal and will be dealt with as such,” Gee said.

The University issued a statement saying that both Morgantown law enforcement agencies and the University are in the process of scanning film footage and social media content to

identify, charge and arrest students involved.

“The behavior exhibited last night will not go unpunished, either by the courts or the University,” the statement read.

Student Body President Chris Nyden said in a statement that those involved “diminished this huge achievement by our football team by turning to destruction in place of celebration.”

Nyden went on to say he trusts the “Morgantown Police Department will pursue and punish any individuals involved in violence and vandalism to the full extent of the law,” and that he expects “WVU to act swiftly to penalize and potentially expel any students involved.”

Gee and Nyden both touched on the importance of ensuring these sorts of actions don’t reoccur, and

kept students off the field it could not control the events that took place later that evening.

Familiar couch-burning rituals, destruction of property and binge drinking occurred throughout Morgantown, beginning in the Sunnyside neighborhood on Grant Avenue.

The Morgantown Police Department stated in a press release that officers started responding to reports of parties with the probability of deviant behavior around 10:30 p.m. The press release also confirmed reports of groups pushing over street

lights and throwing rocks, beer bottles, and other blunt objects at Public Safety Personnel.

The total cost of damage due to the events that were declared as riots has yet to be determined.

The Morgantown Fire Department also issued a press release stating that one fire engine as well as two administrative vehicles were damaged by thrown objects. The squad called in additional personnel that were offduty for the night to handle the 37 fires that have already been confirmed, and probably more according to the

press release. Investigations are expected to go on for several days.

A great deal of controversy has been stirred up throughout several social media networks, particularly twitter, after Adelyn Nottingham, a 21-year -old senior at WVU, tweeted “Mo-town police officer broke into my friend’s apartment and sprayed me with pepper spray which resulted in me having a severe asthma attack.”

The tweet, along with two others that discussed her claim of being sober as well as not being able to breathe, were taken together in a

screenshot that has already been retweeted more than 300 times.

“I’m a disability student with Asthma,” Nottingham said. “I almost died.”

Nottingham and her boyfriend Kyle Frazier, a 22-yearold senior, explained that they were at a friend’s residence on Third Street singing “Country Roads” on the front porch when police made their way down the street in full riot gear chasing people that were trying to watch riots take place on Grant Avenue.

Students pie President for charity by alyssa lazar staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Students were given a chance to pie the West Virginia University Student Body President, Chris Nyden, in the face Friday outside the Mountainlair.

Throughout the afternoon, students could participate in the Student Government Association’s efforts to fundraise for United Way and create positive energy for the SGA. Nyden said the event raised $104.

“The whole purpose is to turn some bad publicity that SGA has received recently into something good and help benefit United Way charity at the same time,” Nyden said.

United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties, led by Honorary Chair President and WVU President E. Gordon Gee, serves to raise funds for health and human service agencies that cannot raise funds on their own without the help of United Way.

Theriault speaks of politics, polarized U.S. Senate

By Rachel mcbride correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Sean Theriault challenged the ideas of Party Polarizers versus Political Warriors during last Friday’s Guest Speaker Series, hosted by the West Virginia University School of Politics and Public Policy.

During his presentation, Theriault described the difference between the two labels thoroughly.

“Party Polarizers are members of Congress who have very conservative or

very liberal voting records.

They are near the ideological poles in politics. Political Warriors are those who will do anything to win even if it has results that could be damaging to the United States,” Theriault said. “Warriors care about winning wars. They don’t care about solving problems.”

These wars get in the way of productive outcomes in the U.S. Senate.

Theriault further explained that positive results in the Senate could appear if citizens voted for candidates

that were more concerned about fixing the problems in Congress, rather than engaging in a constant battle between opposing political parties.

“In election after election, the voters have chosen warriors. We can’t be surprised that the parties are now in all-out war,” said Theriault.

Theriault believes these labels and constant political battles cause a division in the legislation. This disunion makes it harder for amendments and bills, meant to help the people

of the United States, get passed.

The genesis of this division is believed by Theriault to have begun during Newt Gingrich’s representation in the Senate. Theriault said Gingrich laid the foundation for such a separation in the Senate to be present today.

Many present members of the Senate are picking up where Gingrich left off in terms of political warfare.

This criticism of Gingrich is not a foreign concept for Theriault. Theriault has been contemplating this

idea for five years. He mentioned this theme in his last book, “The Gingrich Senators.”

Current research could lead him to write a second book providing further, more detailed distinctions between Party Polarizers and Political Warriors.

“In my current research, I’m taking the concept a bit more seriously to see if there really is something there. If I continue to find good evidence, I will write another book,” Theriault said.

Theriault is a professor

at the University of Texas at Austin. He teaches Political Science and is a researcher of American politics. He is also the author of several books and scholarly articles. He continues to engage in research pertaining to the distinctive separation in the Senate as well as how this separation affects the American people.

Indian Student Association hosts Tarang, celebrate Indian culture, unifies students jennifer skinner staff writer @dailyathenaeum

As an annual extension of West Virginia University’s 2014 Diversity Week, the Indian Student Association held Tarang, an event to celebrate Indian culture and unify people from different ethnic backgrounds.

The festive event, that attracted hundreds of students and people from the community, was held Saturday afternoon and evening in Hatfields in the Mountainlair.

Attendees enjoyed a vast assortment of traditional Indian food and a variety of dances performed by kids, students and people from many different countries.

At the end of the night, dancers came together in Old Gold and Blue T-shirts and presented a dance arrangement of “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

Special guests included WVU president E. Gordon Gee, provost Joyce McConnell and the Dean of the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, Gene Cilento, who helped sponsor ISA and Tarang.

“We want to celebrate that we have diversity,” Cilento said. “We’re here to support them. We want them to do well and (help them understand) they’re a part of a family, and we value them professionally and personally.”

that the student body learns how to better represent the University when celebrating victories.

However, Nyden also said incidents like these are not new to the school.

“We cannot simply condemn the perpetrators and deem that to be a sufficient response. This has been a glaring issue for years at WVU, and it’s time to accept that our current practices and policies simply have not worked,” Nyden said.

Nyden called for the Morgantown Police Department and every student leader on campus work together to come up with long-term solutions.

“How can we embrace our ‘party school’ image without escalating celebration into vandalism?” Nyden said.

Gee said he has a zero-tolerance policy for students who “demean the achievements of our institution and its faculty, staff, students, alumni and our Morgantown community.”

Matt Elder, the assistant director of Mountaineer Maniacs, said in a statement that the organization is disappointed by the offenders’

He said, “Morgantown is our home, and we must respect it as such by being contributing citizens to the community. West Virginia University is a very special place, and we want to make sure that we keep it that way.”

Elder added that he and the Maniacs thank the students who showed their Mountaineer pride respectfully and the organization asks students to promote their sportsmanship on game days with the hashtag #WVUSportsmanship.

In its statement, the University said it “is appreciative of the actions of the Morgantown Police Department, the Morgantown Fire Department and other cooperating agencies in preventing serious injury.”

Gee said knowing what it means to positively represent WVU is vital to the reputation of this institution.

“It is time this University, together with our students, embody and exhibit a code of conduct that makes Mountaineers everywhere proud,” he said. “Each of us needs to accept individual responsibility for our actions and understand we each represent West Virginia University.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Praveen Kumar Reddy Majjigapu, a civil engineering Ph.D. student and president of ISA, knows that feeling well.

“When I left my family for the first time, I thought, ‘I really need somebody to take care of me,” described Majjigapu, who heard of ISA when he came to the U.S. for the first time in 2010 to complete his master’s degree at WVU. As Majjigapu explained, most of the Indian students who seek out ISA are, for

the first time in their lives, living far away from home and in a completely different culture.

ISA works toward making students from India feel comfortable in their new home by promoting the awareness of campus diversity and recruiting throughout India.

“When we go around to different cities in India and tell students about this, they feel welcome,” said Radhey Sharma, ISA faculty advisor and engineering

professor. “When they are settling into a new place, they can be ready for academic progress.”

Cilento emphasized the special devotion and skills that international students bring to the Statler College.

“They become the backbone of research and development when they graduate, and some of them become faculty members,” Cilento stated.

In addition to Tarang, which revolves around Diwali, ISA also recognizes

holidays like Holi and the Independence Days of India and America.

“We showcase what types of festivals we have and how we celebrate,” Majjigapu said. “ISA is a platform for Indian and nonIndian students to interact.”

Other opportunities ISA works to provide its members include community service, internships with local businesses and events.

Entirely run by students, ISA focuses on three aspects of planning events: food, cultural programs and taking care of logistics and financing.

“We can all work together and do something productive. This year is the first year with other international students (on the ISA committee),” Majjigapu said. He hopes to see the organization become “more inclusive.”

ISA continues to help Indian students become acclimated to new cultures and new settings while partnering with other groups across campus like the Chinese Student Association.

“The world is becoming much closer nowadays with transportation and communication becoming easier,” Cilento said. “You learn that people come at solving problems from different angles. That’s what helps you develop the best solution.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

In a combined effort by SGA executive members, including Chris Nyden, SGA decided to hold this event in response to the recent negative publicity for both SGA and Nyden himself.

The event was inspired by bad publicity stemming from rumors of impeachment due to Nyden’s alleged violations of the SGA Ethics Code.

Despite these rumors, students were excited to be given a chance to participate. Arnie Reed, a senior international studies student, was at the event.

inhaler which made her feel better. But, as things were dying down, Frazier said one of his friends yelled “police brutality” before officers started pushing him.

“They pushed him until he stumbled and then he pushed back. Then a cop took a nightstick to his leg, threw him down and knocked him out cold. I think the fact that they didn’t actually arrest anyone where we were at the time says a lot.

If anything, our friend that was pushed to the ground and knocked out should have been arrested, but they just got physical and walked away,” Frazier said.

Nottingham said she was in utter shock by the actions of the police.

“What surprised me was the fact that we weren’t in a riot, we weren’t malicious,

but instead we were being safe and having fun,” Nottingham said. “But, they came down swinging bats around, and we didn’t feel safe. I think they were upset with things that were happening and retaliated on impulse. They didn’t show any empathy, no one came to see if I was okay, and several people saw them laughing.”

Frazier believes the police should have taken a different approach, instead of coming out in full riot gear.

“They should gradually escalate the level of force they’re using—there are steps you take,” Frazier said.

“They just came out ready to spray and attack people.”

While the claims of police brutality have generated plenty of controversy, especially after Nottingham’s tweet, other controversies linger as well—specifically how to prepare for the next big win.

“How do we plan for the next four games and how the students will respond?” said Daniel Brewster, a professor at WVU. “Do we expel and suspend students? Should we impose a curfew? Obviously that would hurt businesses and nightlife downtown, but something has to be done. I can’t even imagine what would happen if we

actually won a playoff game or a national championship.”

Brewster said much Saturday’s events affect everyone and how much of a negative shadow they cast on West Virginia University as a whole.

“It’s just an embarrassing representation of our institution and in reality it isn’t just students; it’s friends or relatives coming to visit or even people who have no affiliation. What we need to approach is a standard for what is acceptable behavior from students,” he said. “When this type of behavior manifests, it affects the quality of our degree and what people associate with the school.

Ultimately people don’t consider the consequences of this type of behavior. It’s sad because you would think we never won when you look on SportsCenter.

It’s nothing but reports of riots.”

To sum up the reaction from WVU administration, President E. Gordon Gee’s tweet speaks volumes.

“Disappointed in some of our student body today,” Gee tweeted. “While a small minority, the actions of a few hurt the reputation of our entire University.”

Police hunt for clues near where Va. remains found

Andrew Shurtleff/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

A road closed sign blocks traffic as authorities search a rural area where human remains were discovered in Albermarle County, Va., Sunday. Investigators also interviewed residents in the area Sunday, and forensic teams combed the sides of a road for several miles past the site. Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said authorities have not yet confirmed that the remains are those of University of Virginia sophomore Hannah Graham, but have notified Grahams’ parents of the discovery.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — After finding remains that could be University of Virginia student Hannah Graham, authorities interviewed nearby residents and picked through leaves on the side of a sparsely populated highway, searching for any clues or evidence.

Forensic tests were needed to confirm whether the remains match the 18-year-old Graham. They were discovered by a deputy Saturday in a heavily wooded area of Albemarle County that is home to horse farms about 12 miles from campus. Graham disappeared Sept. 13 after a

night out with friends.

Her parents were notified that the remains were found, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said. It wasn’t immediately clear Sunday how long it would take for them to be identified. Investigators also wouldn’t say if they had found anything else.

The last person seen with Graham, 32-year-old Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., has been charged with abduction with intent to defile Graham. He is being held in the AlbemarleCharlottesville Regional Jail. A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 4.

The remains were dis-

covered roughly 6 miles from where the body of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington was found three months after she vanished in 2009.

Police have said forensic evidence connects Matthew to Harrington’s killing, which in turn is linked

by DNA to a 2005 sexual assault in northern Virginia. Matthew hasn’t been charged in those cases.

Albemarle County Police Department spokesman Carter Johnson said Sunday no additional information regarding the investigation was available.

Graham met friends at a restaurant for dinner Sept.

12 before stopping by two off-campus parties. She left the second party alone and eventually texted a friend saying she was lost, authorities said.

In surveillance video, she can be seen walking unsteadily and even running at times, past a pub and a service station and then onto a seven-block strip of bars, restaurants and shops. On Sunday, the area was buzzing with people having brunch at outdoor cafes on a brisk, sunny day. Graham’s disappearance and the discovery of human remains was a frequent topic of conversation.

“It’s constant. It’s everywhere. It’s part of the zeitgeist of the community be-

cause of this just profound sense of loss and shock and horror. I mean it’s on everybody’s lips wherever I go - lunch, dinner, in the streets,” said Robert Robl, a Charlottesville resident who was having brunch.

Many people said they hoped the identification of the remains brings closure to Graham’s friends and family.

“Everybody was rattled.

Everybody knew it was coming, but you still hope for the best. As much as you can prepare for it, you can never prepare for it,” said Claire Meyers, a University of Virginia nursing student who has friends who knew Graham and Matthew.

Matthew was an operating room technician at the university’s hospital,

where Meyers works as a patient care assistant.

Albemarle County resident Bill Gnas, a retiree who lives a few miles from where the remains were found, said helicopters flew overhead Sunday morning and there had been a constant police presence in the area for 24 hours. When he saw police blocking off a road on Saturday, he suspected the worst.

“Truly, I was saddened by it. After three or four days you had to anticipate it was going to be another Harrington event where they were going to find the body, and the only thing you could hope for at that point was that there be some closure for the parents that it was in fact discovered,” he said.

Editorial

Mountaineers: We can do better We are West Virginia University, the high point of this state. Young children look to us as role models.

We have the responsibility of maintaining the Mountaineer legacy.

Saturday evening, we failed.

Like many others who have expressed their concerns about the activities following the West Virginia vs. Baylor game Saturday night, The Daily Athenaeum is appalled at the behavior many students exhibited.

Our Editorial Board considered whether or not we should even publish the photos from the night for fear of continuing to perpetuate a negative public image of West Virginia University.

But the students, adults, and this institution, from in- and out-of-state, acted like children. In fact, one media organization told Mountaineers to “grow up.”

When children do wrong, they are punished.

Mountaineers should be

ashamed.

What are you trying to prove, Mountaineers? That you’re somehow “bad?”

Or that you are “hardcore?” This is not the legacy that has been left before us.

The legacy left for us is that of dignity and respect.

When our football team wins, we party. We do not try and destroy the city we love so dearly.

But it is not our place to scold the student body for acting like the children.

To those of you who didn’t participate: Thank you. You are one of the many things that are phenomenal about this school.

When people ask you, and they will ask, what happened the night WVU beat Baylor, remember that each time we say we are a Mountaineer, we become a spokesperson for the University.

And you have a responsibility to uphold for the entire state.

During and following

the incident, plenty of current Mountaineers and alumni took to social media to express their outrage and disappoint of the behavior. The Editorial Board wished we could have devised a plan for dealing with behavior such as this instead of just adding to the disappointment.

However, we fear there is no easy answer. Perhaps, if the University is worried that many of the individuals involved were not students, it should limit the num-

ber of guest passes given.

This wouldn’t be effective, though, because tickets are easily found.

Instead, the only suggestion we have to offer is to call out inappropriate behavior when you see it. Let your friends know when they have crossed the line from celebrating to vandalizing.

Celebrate. Celebrate loudly. But do so with class as a #RespectfulMountaineer. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Police Brutality a symptom of a larger problem by molly robinson columnist @dailyathenaeum

Two years ago, a police officer bought a homeless man shoes. Newspapers raved about his generosity and kindness and America let out a collective sigh, thinking our police force was just as trustworthy as we always wanted to believe it was.

Fast forward to 2014. The police are still making national headlines, but for a very different reason.

Police brutality is nothing new: Every few years, a horrible story of an unwarranted police assault crops up in the news. Usually, it is something we can brush off as a fluke, and we are assured the officer was a bad apple and has been promptly relieved of his job.

However, the case of Michael Brown, an eighteenyear-old African American male who was shot by an officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August, has garnered enough media attention to keep civilians on our toes.

Regardless of the race issues involved with the situation, the fact remains that a boy was shot like a dog in the middle of the street, and two months later, America is still trying to put together the pieces of the events leading up to the shooting.

The month before, news began trickling down about the case of Eric Garner, a New Yorker who died from a cop’s chokehold.

In May, police were tipped off on a potential drug dealer. They proceeded to kick in the door of his home and use a flashbang grenade - a mini-bomb mostly used to disorient an enemy via its loud sound. It can also cause fires.

All this to arrest a meth dealer. Not a rapist, not a murderer, a drug dealer.

What the police failed to realize was that this meth dealer lived with his extended family, including

alangraysonemails.tumblr.com

his aunt and uncle and their three girls under the age of ten. But it was the couple’s son, an infant named Bou Bou, whose crib was blown up by this flash-bang grenade. Baby Bou Bou suffered multiple injuries as a result of the police’s tactic, and has had to receive over $1 million worth of surgeries to replace the nose and chest that were blown apart in the raid.

The meth dealer the police so brutally attempted to detain was found a few doors down, and was peacefully arrested without the same pomp and circumstance shown to the aforementioned family.

But even Morgantown, W.Va., has seen the effects of the police force’s misuse of power.

And, of course, we all heard the horror stories of the police’s attempts to “control” the rioting that occurred in the aftermath of the Baylor game on Saturday, using rubber bullets,

“

Cops are not the saviors we all thought they were. While usually they are the modern day superheroes protecting us, some appear to be the criminals, as well.

tear gas and mace.

The former was used against a few of my friends that evening, who were out on their porch near Grant Street, observing the chaos from a distance. Three officers decided to order the group indoors, a strange request since they were simply on the porch. When the group refused on the rights that their porch was still considered their property, the three officers approached the group, forced them inside their home, and – after one boy vehemently denied the order, but did not exert any force toward the officer – the entire group was pepper sprayed in the confines of their home. This induced a

”

severe asthma attack from a girl which required the help of paramedics.

When the same boy spoke out again to the police, one of the officers used his baton against the individual, who then fell to the ground and was knocked unconscious.

The police left the scene.

Our very own police department left a college-aged student unconscious in the middle of the street.

I cannot, in good faith, say I trust these people with my safety. One could say each of these cases is an outlier, that most police forces are on our side. But this is not Gotham City; people cannot simply be categorized as “good guys” and “bad guys.”

The police have let us down on a local and national scale.

Sure, we’ve all heard the typical “f--- the police” chants by drunken students on High Street. We’ve all seen officers attempt to detain an especially belligerent drunk. We’ve been to parties shut down by the University Police Department.

These are typical police duties, things done for the betterment of our community – though admittedly, they are the detriment to some pretty fun parties. Regardless, it is not the dayto-day issues that are making national headlines. It’s hard to screw up the simple things police officers do the majority of the time.

The real problem comes when something exciting happens – when police officers have to bust a drug deal or calm a riot. This is, I suspect, what police officers dream about, that finally they can assert their dom-

inance over the “bad guys” of the world and be hailed as heroes.

Sometimes, this works out. But in the recent cases, police have simply gone too far.

Perhaps it’s the mindnumbing duties of a police officer that makes the exciting police calls all the more reckless. Sitting on the side of the road in an attempt to catch speeders will really make that emergency call something to look forward to. Maybe some police officers are secretly itching to use the weapons they’ve been trained to use for their own protection.

Maybe throwing kids in jail for smoking weed or drinking gets so old that a little excitement is necessary to keep them assured of their position. Maybe aggression is a common trait selected for in police officers, and it takes very little to make them snap.

Naturally, these conjectures can’t apply to all police officers. In fact, six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have felt the need to sit down and ruminate on these ideas. But we can’t simply sweep all the recent horrifying cases under the rug. There is a reason police brutality is nothing new, that civilians much like yourself are dying at the hands of police officers.

I’m not saying we should rebel against the police. I’m not even saying we shouldn’t trust them to get us out of emergency situations What I’m saying is perhaps we should see the police officers as we would our peers, that there are inherently better and worse people out there. That we cannot blindly trust them to do the right thing.

Police officers are not the saviors we all thought they were. While usually they are the modern day superheroes protecting us, some appear to be the criminals, as well. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Euthanasia needs revisited as a means of increasing patient dignity by marshall amores columnist @dailyathenaeum

Human beings seek the unknown in pursuit of establishing limits. This goal and its successes and failures have rapidly advanced as society has progressed into the 21st century. Our continued social organizations have conquered distance with units of measurements, developed social order (to some extent) with laws and even developed an accurate, tangible interpretation of time. Though society has been able to promote the use of vaccines due to empirical observation, it still fails to this day on a front plagued with handwringing disrespect.

The final frontier of control exists in death with dignity. Death with dignity is an option for the mentally competent that allows the use of prescribed medication to end one’s life. It is not an an-

DA

swer for those who simply cannot stand life because things are difficult at moments like their girlfriend cheated on them, or their parents getting divorced; not that either of those occurrences in life cannot undoubtedly be the most debilitating experiences for some. It is reserved for those who have been given a prognosis of six months or less to live. Death with dignity gives a choice to the person who has lost them all.

Brittany Maynard, 29, is an advocate for the nation’s preeminent end-of-life choices organization, Compassions and Choices. Maynard has gained national attention recently for mire than just for her work with Compassions and Choices.

Her fight for the addition of death with dignity laws for all of America will end Nov. 1.

On New Year’s Day, 2014, Maynard was diagnosed with a malignant brain tu-

mor. The tumor has been slowly eating away at her brain for five months now.

Her story is full of the heartbreak you wish didn’t exist. She and her husband had only been married for just over a year and were trying to start a family. She has ran half-marathons and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.

But fate dealt her an unfortunate card. Maynard considered passing away naturally in hospice care at her home, but decided against it because she said she might, “develop potentially morphine-resistant pain and suffer personality changes and verbal, cognitive, and motor loss of virtually any kind” as a result of the tumor and its metastasizing nature.

In a matter of weeks, Maynard will end her life on her own terms. She is holding out for her husband’s birthday next week and wishes to spend time with her family.

A Gallup Poll conducted

earlier this year found that at least 70 percent of Americans agree that doctors should be allowed to “end [a] patient’s life by some painless means,” when the patient or their families agreed to it. Why are Oregon, Washington, Montana, Vermont and New Mexico the only states that allow this critical decision?

This deserves special consideration. What is the purpose in keeping human beings alive only to suffer in hospital beds with tubes running through their orifices as they dream of the peace only attainable by death? There is simply no moral reason hospitals should be allowed to prolong the existence of somebody who is a vegetable, or is so affected by a cancer that they cannot even communicate. This disrespect is a blatant denial of an opportunity to help somebody without hope.

It pains us to know other

people suffer in the world.

That is natural. Yet, we exhibit a different reaction depending on the recipients of misfortune. You could go to bed tonight knowing that 16 million children in our country do not know where their next meal is going to come from or that cancer will take over 1,500 souls tomorrow and still wake up without paralyzing grief.

However, things would be different if it were you or your loved one who was

on the receiving end of that grief. What would you do?

Some things are out of humanity’s grasp and we must come to accept that.

However, control over one’s life should not be a political grey area when you have six months left to live. In this venue, social limitation needs serious change.

Society should leave the decision of death to the dying. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer Idol

Contestants eliminated, 3 move on to final round

By Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Scott Link and Spenser Wempe hosted the fifth round of elimination of Mountaineer Idol Friday night.

Seniors Patrick Garcia and Alexa Gonzalez and freshman Elizabeth Keim advanced to the next round.

Each will walk away from Mountaineer Idol with a cash prize.

During the fifth round of elimination, the top-five contestants performed two songs each, one from Broadway and one from the 21st Century.

Head Judge Shirley Robinson judged the competition, along with four guest judges: Lee Blair, an assistant professor of acting and

the program director with the West Virginia University School of Theatre and Dance; Tara Brooks, the assistant dean for the WVU University College; Jacob Bojesson, Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Athenaeum and Carlton Smith, winner of the 2005 Mountaineer Idol who also works for the WVU Police Department.

The show started with contestants singing songs from the big stage such as “Pure Imagination,” from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” which was performed

by Hannah Harless. “Falling Slowly,” from the Broadway musical “Once,” was performed by Garcia. Gonzalez performed “I Know Where I’ve Been,” from the musical “Hairspray.”

Between the two sections of the night, Link performed a version of Beyoncé’s

“Halo.” Afterward, the rest of the contestants did their best on 21st century songs.

The audience was grooving along to Joseph Leytrick singing “Toxic” by Britney Spears and Harless performing “Counting Stars” by One Republic with friends playing the guitar and violin for her.

Garcia also got the crowd engaged with his performance of “Ghost” by Ella Henderson and Gonzalez sang out Megan Trainer’s “All About That Bass.” Keim wrapped up the evening with “Someone Like You” by Adele and played the piano.

Guest judge Smith performed a One Direction song, “Little Things,” on the keyboard while the scores were tallied up and the audience waited on the top-three decision.

After winning in 2005, Smith has returned multiple

times to be a guest judge during the competition.

“It’s great,” Smith said. “It’s nice to see all of the talent.

I love being here and just watching the energy on stage, the good songs. Their voices are just amazing. From when I first started, there’s so much more to go into it. The preparation that everyone does each week, they really get ready. The talent has gotten so much stronger.”

As a senior, this is the second time Gonzalez has competed in Mountaineer Idol and the first time she finished in the top-three at the finale.

Gonzalez said things were tense while waiting backstage at the end.

“I didn’t know,” she said.

“I couldn’t pick it. I couldn’t call it. I was nervous...I’m going home with something so that makes me happy, and I

get to sing again. I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to do this again. It’s my senior year, so it’s kind of like my last time to perform on stage.”

Garcia is also a senior and this is the third time he has competed. In 2011, he went to the finale and finished in third place as a freshman. He went for the title again in 2012, getting eliminated in the fifth round. Last year, he took a break.

“I feel so relieved right now,” Garcia said. “I am going to practice, learn all my words so I don’t have to write them on my arm, and I’ve got a lot of things in my mind so I hope everyone comes out because I’ve got a show prepared.”

This is the first time Elizabeth Keim has competed in Mountaineer Idol.

“It’s really awesome,” Keim said. “It’s just sad because I got close to them, and it’s sad to see them eliminated, but I’m happy I’m in the top-three.”

Keim said she will use the next two weeks to find the best song for her and to work on stage presence in preparation for the finale.

The finale will be held at 3 p.m. Nov. 2 in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

Each contestant will perform three songs: one they already performed, a song chosen by the judges and any song of the contestant’s choice.

There will also be performances from the top-15 Mountaineer Idol contestants, and the winner will be crowned at the end of the show. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Pitt’s new WWII film makes him a better father

LONDON (AP) — Brad Pitt was bringing the London Film Festival to a storming conclusion Sunday with “Fury,” David Ayer’s mudand blood-splattered tale of a tank crew in the closing days of World War II. The film offers a brutal depiction of combat, but Pitt says filming it has made him a better father to his six children with Angelina Jolie.

“This role is a real study in leadership and learning to command respect and because of this, I am now a better father,” said Pitt, who plays a hard-bitten sergeant in command of a Sherman tank crew played

by Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal.

“This film is about the soldiers’ exhaustion from the cold, hunger and the accumulative effect on a daily basis,” Pitt told reporters before the movie’s black-tie European premiere. “We took that to heart. I hope ... soldiers will walk away from this and feel they are recognized.”

Brad Pitt attending the press conference for ‘Fury’ during the 58th BFI London Film Festival at The Corinthia Hotel.

“Fury” is an appropriately unflinching finale for a festival that awarded prizes to films that tackled corruption, gang violence, honor killing and

war.

Andrey Zvyagintsev’s “Leviathan,” a tragic satire of small-town Russian corruption, was named the festival’s best pic-

ture. Ukrainian director Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy won the first-feature award for “The Tribe,” a teen-gang drama set at a school for the deaf and

performed entirely in sign language, without subtitles.

Actress Sameena Jabeen Ahmed was named best British newcomer for

her performance as a British-Pakistani teenager on the run from her family in “Catch Me Daddy.”

The documentary prize went to “Silvered Water, Syria Self-Portrait,” a searing look at the country’s civil war by Paris-based director Ossama Mohammed and Wiam Simav Bedirxan, a schoolteacher who filmed life in the besieged city of Homs.

Director Stephen Frears was awarded the British Film Institute’s Fellowship, in recognition of a career that has traveled from the battered streets of Margaret Thatcher’s Britain in “My Beautiful Laundrette,” to 18th-century France in “Dangerous Liaisons,” seedy Los Angeles in “The Grifters” and Buckingham Palace in “The Queen.”

The 73-year-old director said that he’d become a filmmaker by accident, and quoted playwright Joe Orton, subject of his 1987 film “Prick Up Your Ears.”

“I’ve got away with it so far,” he said, “and I’m going to go on.”

Shows lauded for green initiatives Digging for sphinxes in California BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — TV’s “New Girl,” “Parenthood” and “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” have been recognized for supporting green initiatives by the Environmental Media Association.

The organization pre-

sented its Environmental Media Awards on Saturday during a gala dinner that also celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Board member Ed Begley, Jr., lauded the Environmental Media Association for encouraging entertainment

media to serve as a vehicle to educate the public about environmental concerns.

Guests at the dinner program at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, included Malin Akerman, Lance Bass, Sara Gilbert, Jeff Goldblum and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Other winners announced Saturday were the feature film “Disneynature Bears,” the documentary “GMO OMG,” the children’s program “Paw Patrol” and the digital video “Should We All Be Eating Insects?”

GUADALUPE, Calif. (AP) — Archaeologists working in the sand dunes along the Central California coast are digging up ancient sphinxes - but these are made of plaster.

More than 90 years ago, legendary filmmaker Cecile B. DeMille erected 21 giant sphinxes and an 800-foot-wide temple as a set for the silent, black-and-white classic movie “The Ten Commandments.”

But in 1923, when filming was over, DeMille abandoned them there among the sands of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes in Santa Barbara County.

Now, archaeologists are digging for the fragile plaster sphinxes and this week began excavations on one that they hope will eventually be on display at the nearby GuadalupeNipomo Dunes Center, northwestchicagofilmsociety.org

Archaeologists search for the movie set. which has raised $120,000 for the dig, the Los Angeles Times reported (http://lat. ms/1wfvsbZ ).

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of site,” said M. Colleen Hamilton, a senior historical archaeologist with Applied EarthWorks and project director for the excavation. “I’ve worked on sites all over the country, and I think this one could only happen in California.”

Crews began digging in 2012 and found one sphinx but money for the project ran out. Parts of that sphinx’s head are on display at the Dunes Center.

When they returned this year for the body, they found the wind had shifted the sand, exposing the plaster and damaging it beyond repair.

But the wind had also revealed a hint of the foot and leg of another sphinx, the Times reported.

“It was a really pleasant

surprise when we found out it was almost a full sphinx,” said Doug Jenzen, executive director of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center.

The second sphinx was missing much of its face - but archaeologists had been looking for an intact body to put on display to match the earlier head.

To keep the fragile plaster from cracking, the team covered the pieces of the sphinx in liquid consolidant and wrapped them in cheesecloth, Hamilton said. They removed sand from the body and filled it with foam to keep it stable.

Residents of Guadalupe, a small farming community, left the set alone for decades out of respect, said Shirley Boydstun, 86, a member of the Rancho de Guadalupe Historical Society.

“The old-timers have always known it was out there,” she said.

Jazz to take over CAC

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @Dailyathenaeum

Members of the jazz ensembles at West Virginia University will come together to perform a concert at the Creative Arts Center.

Currently, the University jazz program consists of 12 different jazz ensembles, all with different instrumentation.

The ensembles within the program performing Monday night include KWSU, Group One, El Trio, Group Two, Wind Group, Organography, The Duo and Little Big Band.

The ensembles perform under the direction of Professor Paul Scea, the director of Jazz Studies at WVU. Scea is a new music, free-lance jazz and rhythm and blues performer. Scea is also an active composer, arranger, clinician and adjudicator. Scea gained his experience as a performer by collaborating with many internationally known jazz and pop artists and recording with the Steve Grismore/Paul Scea Group and Damon Short.

The concert will be under the conduction of students Alex Heflin and John Posey.

“The jazz ensembles are composed of WVU students from all different majors, although the majority of members are music majors,” Scea said. “Any student can audition to be in a

jazz ensemble. The auditions take place the first two days of class in August.”

The program was constructed to strengthen and promote the genre of music in the area as well as make people in Morgantown more knowledgeable about jazz, and spark communication between performers and jazz lovers.

The WVU Jazz Ensembles have performed at a variety of places including the Wine & Jazz Festival.

“The concert will be an evening of jazz featuring a guitar ensemble, a mandolin and guitar duo, two quintets, a sextet, an organ trio playing the music of Medeski, Martin, & Wood and a Little Big Band playing jazz arrangements of old country standards,” Scea said.

The show opens up with KWSU performing the song, “On a Slow Boat to China,” and is followed by many other pieces including songs entitled, “A Sweet memory performed by Group One,” and “Phase Dance,” performed by Wind Group.

“As always, many student arrangements and compositions will be featured,” Scea said.

The performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre of the Creative Arts Center.

Icona Pop performs at Metropolitan Theatre

David Ryan/WVU Arts & Entertainment

Icona Pop sings onstage at the Metropolitan Theatre.

by jake jarvis MANAGING editor @jakejarviswvu

Everyone from elementary-aged kids to grandparents came out to enjoy Icona Pop at the Metropolitan Theatre Friday night.

The night was filled with a spectrum of electronic music from a package of three performances.

Opening for Icona Pop were Five Knives and Lowell.

The most surprising performance of the evening came from Lowell, an artist I hadn’t heard of before the concert. She began the show performing to approximately 150 audience members and seemed visibly disappointed by the small crowd.

“You guys are all sitting down out there,” Lowell said. “That’s okay - there’s chairs. But you should dance. I’m dancing.”

Despite the small size, she warmed up the crowd

as more trickled in from the back. I particularly loved her performance of “The Bells.” It was ethereal and almost hypnotic to listen to.

This took a quick turn with “I Love Money.” It began with a fluttering beat that picked up as her vocals soared into a higher register. Audience members finally stood up and clapped along.

While Lowell was subdued, the following act, Five Knives, was anything but.

They crashed on stage with an electronic-punk fury and leather pants all around.

The band’s performance was a real party for the audience. It was at this time that even more audience members trickled in from the back.

Even though Five Knives was great, they didn’t stand out enough to persuade me to listen to any more of their music. Sure, if they

Icona Pop rocks out Friday night.

David Ryan/WVU Arts & Entertainment

came across my Pandora station, I’d give it a thumbs up - but that’s about it.

Finally, about an hour and a half later, it was time for Icona Pop to perform.

Lights dimmed. People screamed.

In perfect synchronization, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, slid on stage.

Their smiles seemed to say, “We know you love us.

We love you too.”

As they continued, I got the sense that Hjelt felt ill. She locked eye contact with Jawo and grabbed her stomach. After the first song, Hjelt was a little more reserved. Each time she had to sing alone, however, she pepped right back up.

I came in knowing I would love Icona Pop’s music, but I didn’t expect to leave loving the artists as much as I did.

Jawo’s dancing was a combination of awkwardwhite-guy and drunkraver, but it worked.

I could sense an infectious sense of friendship, happiness and freedom between the women.

When they sang “Girlfriend,” it was like the audience disappeared for a few moments.

They shimmied and shaked together like teenage girls at a slumber party.

The night kept building with each song until the audience felt the night ending.

We all came for one reason: “I Love It.” Of course they made us wait until the very end.

The group’s hit single was the last and most energized song of the night. Everyone, from the children to the grandma in the back of the audience, jumped.

If you weren’t there, you missed more than a concert. Icona Pop delivered a one-of-a-kind experience the moment they stepped on stage. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers fall to Akron Friday

shannon mckenna/the daily athenaeum

WVU forward Jamie Merriam fights for the ball with Duquesne defenders earlier this season.

by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Just when it looked like West Virginia could do no wrong, it all went wrong against Akron.

The Mountaineers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead by controlling the ball and getting plenty of scoring chances.

However, the tables turned quickly, and the Zips scored three unanswered goals to defeat the Mountaineers 3-2 Friday night.

The Zips got a goal from Stuart Holthusen, Adam Na-

jem and Nate Shultz. Goalkeeper Jake Fenlason also made two stops on the evening for Akron.

Andy Bevin, who scored both of the Mountaineers’ goals, also had three of the team’s four shots on goal. Lee Johnston made four saves in the loss.

The Mountaineers wasted no time trying to win the possession battle against the Zips.

West Virginia kept the ball on its side of the pitch and good things began to happen.

In the 12th minute, West Virginia regained possession on a Mike Desiderio header

that went to Jamie Merriam.

Merriam then sent the ball behind him, sending Bevin in a dead sprint to gain possession. Bevin corralled the pass and put home his sixth goal of the season, making it 1-0.

The Mountaineers nearly had two more goals on near misses by Ryan Cain and Desiderio. Cain hit a spinning shot that fell just off the goal.

Desiderio tried to capitalize off an Akron defensive mistake, but Fenlason punched away the shot.

Akron got its first chance of the game, but the Mountaineers kept winning the posses-

sion battle.

Bevin came through again for the Mountaineers from inside the box, scoring off a deflection by Fenlason to put the Mountaineers up 2-0 with just under 20 minutes to play in the first half.

Akron then caught fire. Two minutes later, Richie Laryea found Holthusen, and Akron was on the board, trailing 2-1.

Just more than a minute after their first goal, Akron was back on the attack again. Akron took the ball deep into Mountaineer territory and got a foul just outside of the box.

Instead of getting the penalty

kick, the Zips settled for a free kick, but still finished the play.

Adam Najem took the free kick, and it sailed through the Mountaineer wall to knot the game at 2-2 at 28 minutes.

Both Akron and West Virginia had chances to score their third goal in the final minutes of the first half, but the score remained tied at halftime.

As the second half started, the Zips wasted no time taking the lead. Just more than 6 minutes into the second half, Robby Dambrot passed off to Shultz, who slid and found the back of the net for his first goal

of the season, giving the Zips their first lead of the game, 3-2.

At 57 minutes, West Virginia lost Jamie Merriam due to a red card. West Virginia nearly conceded a fourth goal to Akron, but Johnston came through with another save.

The Mountaineers did not get another shot on goal the rest of the game and fell in its second MAC game of the season, 3-2, to Akron.

West Virginia (6-6-1), will step away from MAC play Wednesday when they travel to No. 5 Penn State. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S SOCCER

West Virginia dominates over weekend by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s soccer team came away with two victories this past weekend. The Mountaineers have finished out their regular season road games on a strong note.

Friday night, West Virginia handled a struggling Iowa State team. West Virginia downed the Cyclones 3-0.

“I thought the girls did a great job of keeping their

focus for the shutout,” said head coach Nikki IzzoBrown in a release. “We wanted to take care of the ball and keep it on the turf, and I think the team did a great job of that.”

The Mountaineers registered 14 shots in the first half and finished the night with 23 shots on goal.

West Virginia, however, wouldn’t find the back of the net until the second half. Senior forward Kate Schwindel got the Mountaineers on the board.

“That big goal was critical for us, and it was great

that it came from our senior leader,” Izzo-Brown said. “It was huge for us and for Kate.”

Freshman Michaela Abam continues to impress as well. After netting a goal against the Cyclones, she now has the most goals for the Mountaineers with five.

The third Mountaineer goal came from Amanda Hill. Hill’s goal solidified West Virginia’s victory.

While the Cyclones weren’t able to match the Mountaineers, West Virginia was faced with a dif-

ficult task Sunday afternoon when it took No. 9 Kansas.

Unlike the first half against the Cyclones – the Mountaineers were able to get on the board in the second half.

Schwindel scored the Mountaineers’ first goal against Kansas. The senior forward found the goal inside the box after an assist from Ashley Lawrence.

“These two goals by Kate (Sunday) speak volumes to what type of striker she is,” Izzo-Brown said. “Our senior cap-

tain stepped up huge this weekend, netting three goals, including those today against the nation’s No. 9 team, and I’m proud of her effort.”

Schwindel wouldn’t stop there. However, she added to WVU’s lead, connecting on another goal from yet another assist from Lawrence.

The Mountaineers recorded their second straight shut out win and improved their unbeaten streak to 12 games.

“Kansas is ninth in the country for a reason, and I

give them tons of compliments,” Izzo-Brown said.

“This is one of the better attacks we’ve faced this season, and I thought we handled it well.”

Now at 10-2-2 (4-0-1 in the Big 12), the Mountaineers have established themselves – once again – as top contenders in the Big 12.

The team will return home this weekend for two home games against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Serena Williams hits back at Russian official SINGAPORE (AP) – Serena Williams says comments by the head of the Russian Tennis Federation referring to her and older sister Venus as “brothers” were bullying, sexist and racist, and that she supported the one-year suspension imposed by the WTA against the official.

Shamil Tarpischev was also fined $25,000 for making the comments on Russian television. He also said the sisters were “scary” to look at.

“I think the WTA did a great job of taking (the) initiative and taking immedi-

ate action to his comments,” Williams said Sunday in Singapore ahead of her WTA Finals defense. “I thought they were very insensitive and extremely sexist as well as racist at the same time. I thought they were in a way bullying.”

Asked whether he regretted his comments, Tarpischev told The Associated Press on Saturday at the Kremlin Cup that the program on which he spoke was “a humorous show.” When asked about his ban, Tarpischev said: “I can’t comment. I don’t understand it.”

In a statement released later by the Russian Tennis Federation, Tarpischev denied any “malicious intent” and said his quotes had been taken out of context.

The WTA said it would seek his removal as chairman of the Kremlin Cup tournament, which ends Sunday.

Russia’s Maria Sharapova, also in Singapore for the WTA Finals, condemned her compatriot’s comments.

“I think they were very disrespectful and uncalled for, and I’m glad that many people have stood up, in-

cluding the WTA. It was very inappropriate, especially in his position and all the responsibilities that he has not just in sport, but being part of the Olympic committee,” she said.

Tarpischev has been chairman of the Kremlin Cup, Russia’s only WTA event, for all of its 18 years as a women’s tour event, and is also a member of the International Olympic Committee. During the 1990s, he was the personal tennis coach to Russian President Boris Yeltsin and served as his adviser on sports

matters.

He made his comments during an appearance on a Russian talk show this month alongside former Olympic singles champion Elena Dementieva. When Dementieva was asked what it was like playing against the Williams sisters, Tarpischev interjected and called them the “Williams brothers.” He also said that “it’s scary when you really look at them.”

Williams, the world number 1 at the age of 33, is going into the WTA Finals on the back of another stellar year,

winning six titles including the US Open. But she pulled out of the China Open earlier this month with a knee injury, triggering some concerns she might not make the Singapore.

The draw for the year-end competition – starting Monday at the 10,000-capacity Singapore Indoor Stadium – puts Williams in the Red Group with 23-year-old Simona Halep and 20-yearold Eugenie Bouchard as well as the more experienced Ana Ivanovic, the only one of her three opponents ever to beat her.

Schedule favors No. 2 Florida State down stretch

ap

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston gets set to throw a pass during a game.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – The road to the College Football Playoffs is open for Florida State after a thrilling victory Saturday night.

The No. 2 Seminoles

passed their toughest test by holding on against then-No. 5 Notre Dame with a second-half comeback orchestrated by quarterback Jameis Winston.

The Seminoles (7-0, 4-0

ACC) control their own destiny, and no currently ranked teams remain on the schedule. They are one of only three top-five teams that are still undefeated, and both No. 1 Mississippi State and No. 3 Ole Miss have at least two more games against ranked teams. The Bulldogs and Rebels face each other in the regular-season finale in the Egg Bowl,

so one is guaranteed to end the season with a loss.

“You can say whatever you want: This team is dominant,” FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. “This team understands how to win. ... This team has tremendous what I call adversity tolerance. It doesn’t flinch. It can deal with anything.”

The Seminoles just aren’t last season’s title

team. Instead of setting offensive records, the scoring offense ranks No. 21 in the country. Instead of a defense that set a school record for interceptions, the pass defense is ranked No. 60 and has given up big games to Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson, N.C. State’s Jacoby Brissett, Clemson freshman Deshaun Watson and Oklahoma State’s J.W. Walsh.

The ‘Noles have three victories by less than a touchdown.

But Florida State finds ways to win and still has the reigning Heisman Trophy winner in Winston, who completed 15 of 16 passes during the secondhalf comeback against the Fighting Irish.

“We don’t have anything to prove to anybody,” Winston said. “We’ve just got to keep playing and hopefully things will go our way. But one thing we are consistently proving is that we are winners.

“And no matter what type of adversity we may face, we are family here at Florida State and we play hard.”

Louisville (6-2) presents the biggest challenge for Florida State with a total defense that ranks

No. 1 in the country and a scoring defense ranked No. 4. But its 59th-ranked scoring offense could be a problem in trying to pull off an upset against FSU. A Thursday night game Oct. 30 doesn’t help much considering the Seminoles have an off week to prepare and get healthy.

The rest of the ACC opponents on the FSU schedule - Virginia, Miami and Boston College - are each 4-3. The Seminoles will be heavy favorites in all three.

Rival Florida (3-3) looms in the season finale, but 2014 has been abysmal for the Gators, who have dropped 3 of 4, including a 42-13 home loss to Missouri on Saturday. Coach Will Muschamp may be sitting on the hottest seat in the country.

A loss would put Florida State in a precarious position without anyone left on the schedule to impress the selection committee.

The Seminoles won’t have to worry about that if they can keep winning.

“That’s one thing we can do - we can go four quarters,” FSU linebacker Terrance Smith said. “A lot of teams, they fizzle out toward the end, but we know how to fight and play four quarters. Sixty minutes.”

WVU running back Dreamius Smith celebrates after scoring a touchdown Saturday against Baylor.

West Virginia shocks No. 4 Baylor, 41-27, at home Saturday, returns to AP Top-25 by connor murray sports editor @connorkmurray

In terms of matchups with top-five opponents, the third time was indeed the charm for West Virginia.

The Mountaineers put themselves in the thick of the Big 12 title hunt with an improbable 41-27 victory over No. 4 Baylor Saturday.

By all accounts, the Mountaineers should not have won this game. Then again, maybe neither team should have.

West Virginia overcame three turnovers and the loss of three starters: Running back Rushel Shell and corners Daryl Worley and Terrell Chestnut.

Baylor helped the Mountaineers’ cause, giving up the most penalty yardage in Big

12 history with 215 after being called for 18 penalties.

After squandering their two previous chances at topfive upsets, head coach Dana Holgorsen said the Mountaineers had a different look about them heading into this game.

“I’m proud of the way we practiced all week and proud of our mentality. Guys were ready to play,” he said.

“We’ve been in this situation against some pretty good teams, and we weren’t able to finish. I’m proud of the guys and the way they finished to get a big win here at home.”

Six teams had tried to stop Baylor’s offense coming into this week, and six teams had failed. West Virginia’s defense accomplished that feat, slowing down the No. 1 offense in the nation enough to secure

the Mountaineers’ most fulfilling win of the season.

“Holding Baylor to 318 yards on 80 plays I would say is something nobody thought that we’d be able to do,” Holgorsen said.

While most of the teams Baylor has played this season opted to drop as many men into coverage as possible, letting quarterback Bryce Petty have time to go through his progressions, West Virginia broke away from that script.

The Mountaineers bumrushed the Baylor signal caller from the get-go Saturday, sacking him four times and making it difficult to find time to throw time and time again.

“It seemed like most teams were sitting back on Baylor, not getting after the quarterback, letting him throw it and dropping eight

(men). We didn’t want to let that happen,” said linebacker Wes Tonkery.

“He didn’t have the breakout game that he’s had the past six games. I think it affected him.”

West Virginia’s defense has taken its lumps since joining the Big 12. Under first year defensive coordinator Tony Gibson, the Mountaineers were ready to turn the corner against Baylor.

“We haven’t made any changes. We’re just executing. Guys are starting to understand the defense more.

It showed here today, and it’s going to show going forward,” Tonkery said.

In its previous two games against top-five opponents this season, West Virginia was competitive but couldn’t get over the hump when it counted the most. Despite

all the aforementioned adversity they had to deal with in this game, the Mountaineers found a way to buck that trend.

“We just stayed together.

We never fell apart. Leading going into halftime 24-20, we knew it was going to be a dog fight coming out,” said running back Dreamius Smith.

“We never fell apart. We stayed together as a team, kept everybody up, and as you can see, it paid off.”

After finally finishing off an upset, the Mountaineers find themselves back in the AP Top-25 for the first time since Oct. 2012.

No. 22 West Virginia will look to increase its suddenly realistic Big 12 title hopes on the road against Oklahoma State Saturday. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WVU’s defense silences Baylor’s explosive offense

doyle maurer/the daily athenaeum

WVU’s defense tackles a Baylor player during Saturday’s game.

by anthony Pecoraro associate sports editor @pecorarowvunews

For a team that it seemed nearly impossible to stop offensively, West Virginia’s defense was able to hold the Baylor Bears to just 27 points – almost half of the points the Bears have been averaging in 2014 with 52.7 per game coming into Morgantown Saturday.

With the No. 22 Mountaineers able to capitalize offensively, more so as the game progressed, and being able to put up 41 points of their own, the upset inside of a packed Milan Puskar Stadium all fell right into place for WVU.

Even with key injuries defensively for the Mountaineers’ top-two corners in sophomore Daryl Worley and redshirt junior Terrell Chestnut, the rest of the defense stepped up in huge ways when they needed to.

And that is something much easier said than done when the Bears have been exploding all season on offense, but with the Mountaineer defense being able to hold them to a season-low 318 yards and 95 total rushing yards, defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said he and his defense were ready for Baylor to light up the scoreboard, as they’ve been doing all

season, but the effort he saw out of his defense blew him away to be able to hold the Bears to only 27 points.

“We knew Baylor was going to score points and move the football, and everyone they play, and for us to be able to do what we did today – I haven’t been part of a defensive effort like that in 20 years of coaching,” Gibson said.

“The kids were locked in all day and just stepped up. “(I) give all the credit to the kids – they played hard, (they) played from (the) first whistle to the last whistle. We knew coming in (that) it was going to be a physical game, we knew we had to play

for four quarters and (the) kids came out and executed. I thought we could get to them, I didn’t think we could be as effective as we were.”

The Bears were also only able to convert a mere three out of their 16 opportunities on third downs – another season-low for them and that was partially due to the stellar performance out of redshirt senior defensive lineman Shaq Riddick, who had a trio of sacks on Bears’ quarterback Bryce Petty, but he said that’s not what he’s most proud of out of Saturday’s game.

“To be honest, getting the (win) is what I’m more

ecstatic about – we’ve been wanting this so bad, we just wanted to get the (win),” Riddick said. “We let two top-five teams slip away and we didn’t want that to happen again. If we win in the Big 12, (then) I’m satisfied with my season here.”

With the confidence booster that Saturday’s upset victory over a topfive team for the Mountaineers was – considering that’s the first top-five win for WVU since the 2008 Fiesta Bowl when the Mountaineers upset No. 3 Oklahoma – all eyes will be on the Mountaineers in the weeks to come. apecorar@mail.wvu.edu

After unseating No. 4 Baylor from the ranks of the unbeaten Saturday, one can’t help but think this is West Virginia’s year to make some serious noise in the Big 12.

The Mountaineers proved in Weeks 1 and 4 they could hang with the big dogs when they took then-No. 2 Alabama and then-No. 4 Oklahoma down to the wire before falling just short of upsets.

Saturday’s monumental win proved West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen has his squad trending in the right direction after many WVU faithfuls were calling for his job after last season’s 4-8 campaign.

On paper, Baylor was one of the best teams I’ve seen in a while. The Bears owned the nation’s No. 1 offense, No. 15 rushing attack and No. 10 defense heading into Saturday’s matchup against the Mountaineers and were led by a Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback.

Despite being helped

by Baylor’s massive penalty yardage deficit, West Virginia appeared to be in the driver’s seat during all four quarters of a game in which it was eight-point underdogs.

Former FCS All-American and senior defensive end Shaq Riddick finally had his coming out party, dropping Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty three times.

More importantly, the Mou nt a i n e e r s f i na l l y looked like the polished unit the coaching staff has been raving about since fall camp.

S enior quar terback Clint Trickett has been the biggest piece of the puzzle this season and has been nothing short of spectacular. Although Trickett is susceptible to an errant throw every now and then, his poise and leadership under center is the cog in the Mountaineers’ potent offensive attack.

However, this season is Trickett’s last in Morgantown and there’s no doubt he would like to put his staple on the program.

The rest of the Mountaineers’ Big 12 schedule is a bit daunting, but if Saturday’s win proved anything, it’s that West Virginia is a serious Big 12 title contender. A trip to Oklahoma State this weekend and home matchups against No. 12 TCU and No. 14 Kansas State figure to be the last big tests the Mountaineers face this season.

I believe the time is now in Morgantown, and West Virginia has more momentum than ever. Holgorsen said his team had the best week of practice prior to the Baylor game since becoming head coach in 2011, and you have to like where the Mountaineers are at mentally after Saturday’s win.

After a tumultuous start to his Big 12 head coaching career, I believe Holgorsen finally has the Mountaineers on track to contend for a Big 12 title this season with West Virginia sitting in second behind Kansas State in the conference standings.

If the Mountaineers can maintain focus and build on Saturday’s win, there’s no telling how high the ceiling is for this team. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
