Ken Gray to retire after 17 years by alexis randolph correspondent

After nearly 17 fruitful years of service, Ken Gray, vice president of Student Affairs, is retiring.

Gray has helped countless students throughout his career at West Virginia University and has always put their needs first.

“Vice President Gray’s attitude is that students are the number one priority,” said Sabrina Cave, the assistant vice president for Student Affairs Communications.

“He always has the attitude ‘How will this affect students?’ and encourages everyone else to think that way as well,” Cave said.

Cave said she has worked under Gray for seven years in the Department of Student Affairs and is sad to see him go.

“He is a great leader, a great example and works with real integrity,” Cave said.

Gray used his time as an employee of the University to implement many student centered programs and activities such

as WVUp All Night and the Student Recreation Center.

Gray started the Up All Night program as a solution to student boredom on the weekends.

“Students came to us with the concern that there was nothing to do on the weekends but go home or go out to bars downtown,” Gray said.

As an advocate for students’ physical and mental health, Gray helped build not only the current Student Recreation Center, but he also played a p a r t i n d e v e l o p i ng WELLWVU.

His office also oversees Adventure WV, another student recreation and health opportunity.

Student Affairs oversees many departments and programs such as FallFest, resident movein, The Mountaineer Parents Club and the Student Lot at home football games.

In his time at WVU, Gray has not only helped these programs run smoothly but has also helped them grow.

When Gray started working at WVU, he was no stranger to the Univer-

sity, he graduated from the WVU School of Law. His employment with the University followed 30 years of service in the United States Army, where he served at the highest rank possible as a U.S. Army lawyer.

Along with his membership of the Academy of Distinguished Alumni at WVU, Gray has received numerous honors and awards.

Gray has been named a Distinguished West Virginian under several governors and was listed on the 10 prominent AfricanAmerican leaders list in

Students have many options when it comes to satisfying their sweet tooth.

High Street alone offers Coldstone Creamery, Dairy Queen and Chillberry. However, the Cupcakerie, located on the corner of High Street and Willey Street, offers more than just cupcakes.

While the bakery’s menu contains more than 80 cupcake flavors – including their most popular red velvet cupcake – a pepperoni rolls are new to the list.

“We’ve been working on (the rolls) all summer while the students were gone, and so we rolled it out about a month ago,” said Janet Williams, part-owner of the Cupcakerie.

Williams said the rolls taste like a traditional pepperoni roll, but they’re shaped like a cupcake and are wrapped in cupcake paper.

In addition to adding pepperoni rolls to the menu, Williams and co-owner Anna Carrier have realized their recipes go even faster when students have a case of the munchies.

“There’s going to be a red cart going up and down High Street that will sell bottles of water, cupcakes and pepperoni rolls,” Williams said.

“If you’re hungry late (at) night, you can stop and get a snack.”

The cart will be downtown Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11 p.m.-3 a.m.

The Cupcakerie has been in Morgantown for nearly two years, and an employee arrives every morning at 5 a.m. to make fresh cupcakes.

“Everything is made from scratch,” Williams said. “We developed all the recipes, so if we didn’t

Morgantown transforms into a sea of blue and gold on game day, as fans pack into parking lots across town to tailgate before kickoff.

Now, Southern Living Magazine has recognized West Virginia University as a contender for its “South’s Best Tailgates” competition.

Ultimately, the competition is looking for the school that hosts the “South’s Best Tailgate.” The competition includes categories from most spirited to most traditional.

The magazine recognized WVU for their “coonskin caps, and crowds in a perpetual John Denver sing-along.”

Fans can vote by logging in online or downloading an app on their smartphones.

Southern Living is allow-

ing the fans to determine the winner. WVU has fans of all ages, including alumni.

“I was raised a Mountaineer fan and have been going to the games ever since I could walk,” said Anthony Winn, a WVU alumnus. “The tailgating here has always been one of the best things about going to a game. You see a variety of people that come together on game days.

“WVU has some of the best spirit in the country.”

Winn said he believes these tailgates go beyond the food and parties.

“To be a Mountaineer means a lot,” Winn said.

“Mountaineers are truly dedicated to the school; people may be out at 7 a.m. in the parking lots cooking food and having fun, but the

The RubberU provides discount program, events for students

By Summer Ratcliff City editor

In 2007, Vic Lombard, former West Virginia University MBA student, entered his business idea, The RubberU, into the West Virginia Collegiate Business Plan Competition.

His idea didn’t win the competition, but it has become a well-known brand in Morgantown and is rapidly expanding into a national company.

The RubberU, originally based around rubber wristbands, is a savings and discount tool that gives its customers immediate access to specials at participating businesses, available on RubberU’s mobile app for Apple and Android devices.

“We started with the wrist bands and people loved them, but we really wanted to start moving toward a mobile base, because that’s what people really like and are using now,” Lombard said. “So last year we moved to the app version. Now, when you purchase the app you can utilize that just as you would the wristband.”

While the rubber wristbands and the app both provide the exact same specials, the app allows uy-

“Each establishment that offers a discount has a point value, so when you visit the place and redeem the special, you then earn points,” he said. “Those points can go toward the purchase of various gift cards, football tickets, concert tickets and a lot more.

“The process is just so simple; if a student is at Fat Daddy’s utilizing the $2 draft special, each time they purchase another draft they can redeem the special by using the app, and by the end of the night, have a large amount of reward points built up.”

In Morgantown, more than 50 businesses offer a special when presenting The RubberU wristband or app. Additionally, the company now operates in Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburgh and Orlando, Fla. Lombard said The RubberU also frequently assists various organizations with their fundraising and charity efforts.

SGA talks ethics code, passes 2014 FY budget

BY Sam Bosserman Correspondent

The West Virginia University Student Government Association held its first meeting of the school year Wednesday.

Amendments to the SGA’s ethics code were introduced to the board by Vice Chair John Williams, who stated the current ethic’s code was in need of clarification.

“Basically if one was to look at the existing ethics code, it’s completely bereft of real detail of how someone should conduct themselves in a responsible manner and this is some-

thing we want to change,” Williams said. “We want to make the ethics code more comprehensive.”

Williams said a portion of the proposed changes to the ethics code are intended to widen the sanctions that can potentially be placed upon a board member. Currently, the only penalty for an ethics code violation is removal from office.

“Right now, if I commit a traffic violation under the current code, I should be removed from office. That’s not fair or proper,” Williams said.

President Ryan Campione talked about how the

current language leaves it up to the governors to hold themselves accountable.

“The problem has been that if any member of the board were to violate the ethics code, it was up to the same board to then police themselves,” Campione said. “What we are doing is creating checks and balances as well as a separation of power and putting sanctions in the role of the judicial board.”

Under the proposed new rules, the SGA president would also have increased responsibilities regarding transparency.

“Under the proposed changes I would be re-

quired to notify the board of any ethics code violations being investigated,” Campione said.

Additionally, Campione stated that under the new rules, the public would only learn of these violations if the written notification given to the board members was requested by a member of the public at the meeting.

The second reading for the proposed amendments to the ethics code will take place next Wednesday at SGA’s regularly scheduled meeting.

In addition to the amendment proposal, the 2014 fiscal year budget was

passed unanimously, with only Governor George Capel asking for minor points of clarification on a memorial discretionary fund.

President Campione said this year’s budget was focused on providing more support to programs that directly support students.

“The biggest highlights of the budget are that grants have been increased by about $10,000, which is huge for student organizations,” he said. “Additionally, both the president’s and vice-president’s pay has been cut …we are trying to give more (money) to executives so that we can actually expect more work

out of them and get more projects moving.”

Evan McIntyre, a member of the Board of Governors, said he feels this year’s budget will allow students to clearly see where money is being spent.

“The biggest thing with this budget is that we want everybody to see our budget and see exactly what we spend the money on … everything in the budget is there for the students.”

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

Sunday shopping shuttle offers convenient transportation for students by daniel crow correspondent

Morgantown traffic is often difficult to navigate and time consuming, but the Mountain Line Transit at West Virginia University offers a convenient travel option for weekend shoppers.

The Sunday Shuttle Service is free to students and faculty with a valid school ID. The Sunday shuttle provides essential transporta-

Although the bakery houses many traditional flavors, such as “Very Vanilla” and “Loco Cocoa,” it is also home to many unique flavors like dark chocolate bacon with maple buttercream.

“We call it breakfast in your hand, because it’s like your chocolate chip pancakes, your maple syrup and your bacon all on the same fork,” Williams said.

The bakery also makes deliveries, not only for large groups, but for students on special occasions.

“We had a couple of weepy mothers in here last week telling us ‘My child is having their 19th birthday next week, and I won’t be here,’” Williams said.

The bakery even provides balloons to really make students feel at home on their birthday.

“It’s always fun to hand some kid this huge thing of balloons and cupcakes for everybody on their floor,” Williams said.

There are also many gifts

tion for students by allowing them to shop for both luxuries and necessities.

Morgan Chittum, a Boreman North residential assistant, said the Sunday Shuttle is very useful for freshmen.

“We don’t have shops like that within walking distance,” she said. “The buses help out if you forget things for your dorm room.”

The service is especially helpful for freshman students with limited

transportation.

Students’ guests can make use of the Sunday Shuttle if accompanied by a student.

Lyndsey Newlin, a sophmore speech pathology and audiology student, said she has used the shuttle service numerous times.

“It was decent and relatively on time,” Newlin said.

With scheduled stops of Evansdale Residential Complex, Honors Hall,

Mountainlair, Kmart, Morgantown Mall and the University Town Center, the bus shuttles between a variety of entertainment and shopping needs.

As students become accustomed to Morgantown and settle in, the shuttle has the potential to offer a great convenience.

Chittum said the shuttle makes convenient, frequent stops.

“It makes its loops every hour, so if you miss it, you

have to wait another hour,” she said.

The service is a means of public transit and is prone to some delays.

“I absolutely would suggest the shuttle to my residents as long as they are responsible with their time,” Chittum said.

Stopping every hour between 12:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., the shuttle provides consistent transportation.

However, in the case of inclement weather and uni-

available for purchase at the bakery. From earrings to shot glasses to greeting cards, the bakery provides everything needed for a birthday celebration.

“You really can stop in here if it’s your roommate’s birthday (to) grab a card, a cupcake and a little gift,” Williams said. “You really can get everything you need.”

Birthdays aren’t the only occasion to celebrate at the Cupcakerie; Williams and Carrier have witnessed first dates and proposals in their bakery.

It also provides a place for friends to hang out and catch up.

“They chill out and catch up with each other,” Williams said. “They get a cup of coffee and a cupcake and meet other friends.”

With so many cupcake flavors, everyone can find a taste to meet their pallet.

“Sometimes you forget how good one cupcake is, and you keep going back to it,” Carrier said.

“It’s hard to find people who remain that loyal their entire lives.”

Richardson said she believes game day tailgates represent the Mountaineer community.

“Being at the tailgates just makes you realize how big of a community you belong to as a Mountaineer,” Richardson said. “Every football game is so crowded with fans (that) you can barely move. There are people from all over and of all different ages who come together to celebrate the team.”

Project ME shares student passions by caroline peters staff writer

What are you passionate about, West Virginia University students?

Project ME, an online video project done

by WVUToday, showcases the stories of passionate students.

The website’s purpose is to give the audience the opportunity to learn about passionate, outgoing students.

After logging onto the site – which will feature different students each month – audience members can view the lives of individuals who have used their drive to accomplish their dreams.

The videos currently display the lives of Jennifer Moreale, a doctoral student studying economics, Travis Braden, a sophomore mechanical engineering student, and Addie Schneid, a sophomore elementary education student.

These three individuals have just begun their journey at WVU, and despite their differences, each student serves as an inspiration to fellow students.

Moreale, a national champion boxer, said she never dreamed of becoming an inspiration to others.

“The Project ME video is incredibly awesome,” Moreale said. “It’s always weird to think people are coming to me and thanking me. When I see someone passionate about some-

thing, it really gets me motivated and encourages me to motivate them in return.”

Moreale said the drive from within can push an individual to greater lengths.

“You are fighting for yourself, and that is one of the strongest feelings you can get,” she said. “You need to be in touch with yourself. Even though you become exhausted sometimes, you can always find the will power to not give up.”

Moreale said she believes students should get involved in extracurricular activities.

“It’s important to realize that even though we all have deadlines due to school work, at the end of the day we are all young adults who need time to do something we enjoy,” she said.

Travis Braden, an aspiring NASCAR racer, said he believes students should work to accomplish their life goals.

“When you start doing good, the drive makes you want to move forward and win every race,” Braden said. “This can be said for people that want to accomplish anything in life. Despite the money and restraints that hold people back, I encourage them to just do it and get involved.”

U.s. NEWS

Details emerge about Ga. school shooting suspect LITHONIA, Ga. (AP) — A man who allegedly exchanged gunfire with police at an Atlanta-area school didn’t seem to have any friends and rarely talked about his family or past during the months he lived with a couple who serve as pastors at a small church.

But Michael Brandon Hill was quiet and didn’t display anger or violent tendencies, said Natasha Knotts, the woman who took him in after he started coming to the small church where her husband is pastor and she is an assistant pastor. No one was injured in Tuesday’s standoff, bringing relief to parents who had feared the worst after reports of the gunfire began surfacing.

The DeKalb County Public Defender’s office said in a statement that it was representing Hill and that he has “a long history of mental health issues.” One of the office’s attorneys, Claudia Saari, said in an email that a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 5.

Knotts told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Hill, who is now 20, lived with them for about six months in his late teens.

Though there is no blood or legal connection between them, Knotts said she served as a mother-like figure to Hill.

“He was part of our family,” Knotts said. Her family was aware that “he had a mental disorder” before he moved in.

Hill told her that his birth mother was dead and that he didn’t know his father.

He also has brothers.

Police gave more details on Wednesday about the previous day’s ordeal and what led up to it. Before going to the school, investigators say that Hill took a photo of himself with an assault rifle and packed up nearly 500 rounds of ammunition — enough to shoot more than half of the school’s students.

Police said Hill got the gun from an acquaintance, but it’s not clear if he stole it or had permission to take it.

Although no one was injured, the suspect exchanged gunfire with police who surrounded Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur, located a few miles east of Atlanta. The school has 870 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.

“We have to make a reasonable assumption he was there to do harm to someone,” said DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric L. Alexander.

Dramatic television footage showed lines of young students racing out of the building with police and teachers escorting them to safety. They sat outside in a

field for a time until school buses came to take them to their parents at a nearby Wal-Mart.

Hill held one or two staff members in the front office captive for a time, the police chief said, making one of them call a local TV station. At some point, he fired into the floor of the school office. As officers swarmed the campus outside, he shot at them at least a half a dozen times with an assault rifle from inside the school and they returned fire, police said. Police came into the school office, and Hill surrendered.

Hill is charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Police declined to discuss what he told them when questioned.

DeKalb County Police Detective Ray Davis said Hill’s motive was unclear.

Hill had an address listed in court records about three miles from the school in Decatur, but no clear ties to the school.

School bookkeeper Antoinette Tuff said she was one of the employees held hostage. Tuff told WSB-TV in Atlanta that she tried to keep Hill talking to prevent him from walking into the hallway or through the school building.

“He had a look on him that he was willing to kill – matter of fact, he said it. He said that he didn’t have any reason to live and that he knew he was going to die today,” Tuff said.

Law enforcement officers on Wednesday praised Tuff for helping to avert a tragedy.

“She was a real ally. She was a real hero in all of this. She just did a stellar job. She was cool, she was calm, very collected in all of this, maintained her wherewithal,” Alexander, the police chief, said.

Tuff relayed messages from Hill to DeKalb County emergency dispatchers before convincing him to surrender. She told the dispatcher that Hill said he wasn’t there to hurt the children but wanted to talk to an unarmed officer.

“He said, ‘Call the probation office in DeKalb County and let them know what’s going on,’” Tuff said on a 911 recording that was released Wednesday. “He said he should have just went to the mental hospital instead of doing this, because he’s not on his medication.”

Tuff began telling Hill of her own struggles, including raising a disabled child and losing her husband.

Tuff reassured him by saying he didn’t hurt anyone, hadn’t harmed her and could still surrender

peacefully.

“We’re not gonna hate you baby. It’s a good thing that you’re giving up,” Tuff said after having Hill put his weapons and ammunition on the counter. Tuff told Hill that she loved him and would pray for him.

Before he surrendered, Tuff took to the school’s public address system saying that Hill was sorry for what he’d done and didn’t want to hurt anyone – although the lockdown remained in effect.

Hill was arrested in midMarch for making terroristic threats in Henry County, DeKalb and Henry County sheriff ’s officials have said. He was sentenced to probation.

Tuesday’s ordeal terrified parents.

Rufus Morrow was at work when he got a phone call with news that shots had been fired at the school his daughter attends.

He drove “about 90 mph” to the school. The police chief says Hill, armed with an assault rifle and other weapons, was able to slip into the school where visAP itors must be buzzed in by Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy media specialist Harold Grant welcomes children as they arrive at McNair staff.

High School.

Morrow said he almost cried as he told his supervisor why he needed to leave.

“Just the mere thought of what happened at that other elementary school happening here, it was just devastating to my soul,” he said, referring to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Connecticut in December that left 26 people dead, 20 of them children.

The students attended class Wednesday at nearby McNair High School, which will be used for the time being.

Knotts was shocked when she realized Hill had been taken into custody.

“This is something that’s totally out of his character.

This is not him. This is not the Mike that I know. For anyone that knew Mike, this was a total devastation,” she said in an interview at her home in Lithonia.

She kept in touch after he moved out and said he’d recently been living with another couple who belonged to the church.

Knotts last saw Hill about a month ago and he seemed fine.

‘Hot dog legs’ meme a catalyst for eating disorders

HOT DOGS OR LEGS?

GRAPHIC BY LAUREN KAUFFMAN/DAILYDOT.COM, SICKCHIRPSE.COM

A dangerous new topic has begun trending on Tumblr: the so-called hot dog legs.

Tumblr has created a thread featuring this meme, in which they collect pictures from Instagram and Twitter of girls who have posted pointof-view photos of their legs with the ocean, pool or other view in the background and compare them with pictures of hot dogs staged the same way.

Some websites such as Incredible Things and E! Online have made light of the situation, joking about the type of person who carries hot dogs around and takes the time to stage them and whether or not they ate the hot dogs after the shoot. Even the LA

Times is only concerned with how long the hot dog legs meme will be popular.

However the issue is much deeper than that, especially among the target audience.

Often the people who see these photos are girls aged 15-24, many of whom are already suffering from self-esteem and body issues.

These photos, silly and shallow as they may seem, are bringing out these insecurities and feeding into the “perfect” image that women (and men) have begun to see as the norm.

This is especially true for college campuses where many students are attending a big school for the very first time and haven’t been exposed to such a large

population; WVU alone has more than 30,000 students. Girls in particular are bound to have body image issues.

So many students are terrified of the “freshman 15,” so much so that they go to extremes to avoid it, like fad diets or eating habits that could lead to eating disorders. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 25 percent of college students have an eating disorder.

This statistic is alarming, especially because colleges offer so many resources.

At WVU alone, the Carruth Center provides free counseling to students who want to talk about their problems, including eating disorders.

The Rec Center has

a program specifically geared toward preventing or losing the freshman 15. This 10-week program, Freshman 15, requires members to participate in weigh sessions, nutrition coaching and personal training and group exercise. The grand prize, given to the student with the most points, is a $100 gift card to BookHolders.

The whole point being there are so many ways college students of both sexes can get help to deal with their self-esteem or other issues that arise.

Many publications have harped on the fact that only the smallest percentage of the population fits the thin and tan prototype, and most of us are pasty and have a little bit of cel-

lulite. But yes, we are still beautiful.

This mindset is hard to change when so many opposing forces in advertising and pop culture are telling us we are too fat, too pale, too short, too whatever just as often as the truthtellers can refute it.

Instead of another meme among thousands, the “hot dog legs” posts should be proof that the commonly accepted ideals are ridiculous; no part of the human body should be compared to a piece of food.

This meme should be seen as a perpetuation of a sickening trend of body issues, and more people should be outraged by the fact it even exists.

Welcome to your WVU experience Derrik Whitlow columnist

Freshman year is often the most life-changing experience you have during the entire four or five years you’re in college, but it can often be a scary one.

This is your time. That said, there are some things worth bearing in mind.

How you act toward others is going to largely influence how others react around you. While it is completely understandable to be nervous about stepping outside the comfort zone in which you were raised, you have been given a great opportunity.

College is a time during which you truly have the option of being the person in a group of friends who reminds them that making fun of someone for being “different” isn’t okay or that driving drunk is dangerous for more than just their bumpers.

Don’t be the type who is always starting drama behind everyone’s back. We all see it. Trust me, college students – the people who are now your peers – like it even less.

For some of you who like to be a little more organized, making a bucket list is a great way to start out your college experience. There’s so much you can do on this campus, and through its connections, the options are limitless. You are the only obstacle between yourself and your goals.

Most important of all, focus on your school work!

You will see many students – some of whom you may

Learning how to balance your time with your social life and school is really something you have to do on your own. Make no mistake; there will be at least one time in your near future when you will realize Tequila Tuesday wasn’t a great idea.

As far as the do’s and don’ts, use a little bit of common sense when going crazy during your first semester of freedom.

Guys, you are going to see more beautiful girls walking around than you likely ever have before. Yes, it is quite a sight, but if she says “No,” it means no 100 percent of the time. Girls,

stay around friends and use some common sense for your first time at school.

While I don’t want to sound negative, it’s certainly smart to take a little bit more precaution now that Mom and Dad aren’t right there anymore. If we’re going to talk about stereotypical college life, however, we can’t leave out the Greek life.

If it’s something you find interesting, do it! This is a huge time obligation, so make sure it’s what you truly want. Use Greek Week to shop around and learn the ins and outs of each chapter. If you rush for the right reasons and with the right people, it can make your time here on campus that much more memorable.

Greek life isn’t for every-

one, and it’s definitely not the only way to get yourself involved on campus.

The offices of Student Organizations lies in the Mountainlair, and a quick Google search will tell you that we have more 100 on campus. And if you don’t see something you like, you can start it. The power for the next four to five years of your life is in your hands.

Work hard, play hard, and realize that the fact that you get to read this as a student here at WVU means you’re truly blessed. Many intelligent people our age don’t get the chance to attend college, much less one where the student body is truly a family.

Here is where this article is going to get a bit more serious, so stay with me.

Every year we hear about someone being bullied at a major university. The truth is this can happen on any campus, and it can happen to people you never would have suspected.

This is why it is so important we choose the words we use toward other people and more importantly, how we treat them. Earlier in this article, I discussed how important the freshman experience overall can be, and the way you individually treat other people can make or break that experience, freshman or not.

Even if it sounds cliche, be kind to others. Go talk to a friend – or a stranger – if they seem down; you can never really know what it may mean to someone.

It’s happened to me before, and the person who reached out is now my best friend.

You don’t have to keep all of your high school friends, but don’t be surprised if and when you drift apart.

You can – and will, if you escape your dorm rooms – meet new and better friends in college.

If you find yourself doubtful or in need of a good talk, however, know that there are resources on campus.

The Carruth Center offers free counseling services and is always a good place to go when you find yourself in need of some time to talk something out – whether it’s about that class that’s been dragging down your GPA or your backstabbing sister.

On a final note, don’t forget to give back. Wherever you’re from, Morgantown and WVU are your new “home.” We must treat locals with respect and give back to the area when possible. You might be surprised how rewarding that can be, and it looks great on a resume, as well. lbert Schweitzer may have said it best: “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”

But I’d like to make one more attempt; Whether it’s community service, or simply reaching out to someone on campus, the feeling will last forever.

Best wishes as you begin your time here at WVU. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you are capable of creating what you want – you just have to figure out what that is. You often juggle mixed feelings, and you might not be very sure of yourself. You have an unusually strong need to take care of others.

Do not forget to put yourself at the top of the list. If you are single, your dynamic personality attracts many different people. Dating could be fun, as long as you can go with the flow.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You might be more comfortable assuming a low profile right now. You will be able to gather more information while simultaneously doing some much-needed research.

Pressure could build, so use a per-

sonal technique to control your anger. Tonight: Not to be found.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You might be dealing with a personal issue. As a result, you could have difficulty maintaining your focus until this situation is resolved. Others immediately will feel the difference when your creativity emerges and your energy changes.

Tonight: Add some romance.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You’ll feel as though you are on top of your game, and you know full well what you want to communicate. You have a unique ability to draw others toward you. You will like the feedback you get from a close friend. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s before the weekend.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH

Be more creative in how you follow through on your priorities. Do not get caught up in a momentary disagreement or in others’ concerns. You know what works well for you. Realize that when given space, you could manifest what you most desire. Tonight: Use your energy well.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Allow yourself to have some downtime. You will be much happier if you relax. A financial offer might be too good to be true. Be careful, and double-check the facts. Listen to your inner voice, and follow it -- it will keep you out of trouble. Tonight: Meet up with a partner.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Energy levels increase as the day goes on. Do not feel as if you have to push hard to accomplish anything right now, as you will have the time

and vitality later today or in the near future to complete what you must.

Tonight: Go along with a partner’s suggestion.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Plug away at work as if there were no tomorrow. You have many ideas, but don’t push yourself too hard; you will have time to get everything done. A boss or relative demands a lot. Let this person know that you know what you are doing. Tonight: Put your energy into a project.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Your creativity will emerge, and you could feel more focused by late afternoon. A true friend will stand behind you. In fact, your bond will become stronger in the next few weeks.

You might find yourself in a position where you are able to manifest your desires. Tonight: At home.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Pressure builds in the next few weeks to take a stronger stand at work or to step up to the plate with a caretaking issue. You will have the energy and the knowledge to make some important decisions that you have been putting off. Tonight: Start planning your weekend.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You are willing to push yourself to extremes in order to accomplish what you want. Self-discipline is one of your assets, but also be sure to honor your limitations. You’ll want to have the physical energy afterward to enjoy the results! Tonight: Use caution with your funds.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Get as much done as you can in the morning, when you are able to accomplish more. Also, oth-

ers will be more receptive then. Deal on a one-on-one level with a close partner or associate. This person is easier to work with under the present circumstances. Tonight: A mini shopping trip.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by your choices right now. By evening, you will have a clearer sense of your priorities and a better sense of which direction you should head in. A loved one will do whatever he or she can to get your attention.

Enjoy the escapades! Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Caged Power comes to Event Center Friday

FILE PHOTO

Eric Watkins prepares himself for his opponents next move.

BY HUNTER HOMISTEK A&E WRITER

Local fight promoter Stephen Simons’ latest event, Caged Power 8, is set to invade the Morgantown Event Center Friday at 7:30 p.m.

With an eight-fight lineup boasting local talent in both professional boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA), this event is sure to please fight fans across the Mountain State by showcasing both sports for a full

audience.

West Virginia University student and professional boxer Eric “The One-Armed Bandit” Watkins will headline the event and looks to extend his undefeated streak to four fights. Watkins will fight Willie Williams of Baltimore in the evening’s six-round main event.

“I can’t wait to see this bout; I think it’s one of the best we have ever had,” Simons said. “Williams is a

really good fighter, and Eric’s going to need his Agame to beat him.”

Watkins was originally scheduled to face Jason Smith in a rematch of a March light heavyweight title bout that ended in a majority draw. Watkins enters this fight with Williams motivated and hungry for a signature win in front of his hometown crowd.

“I want to rearrange his face,” Watkins said. “This is boxing – we’re trying to

hit each other as hard as we can as often as we can, and I am going to take care of business for my Morgantown friends and family.”

While competing with friends, family and relatives in attendance may seem like a daunting task, Watkins said the support and the atmosphere drives him to perform at his best.

“I excel under pressure,” Watkins said. “All these people – friends, family, their brothers and sisters – they

all show up like they’re at a WVU football game, and those are the best fans in the nation.”

Before the spotlight shifts to the boxing ring, fans will be treated to three professional MMA fights dotted by W.Va.-based heavyweight Nathan “Bamm” Bryant and lightweight David Forsyth.

“The most intriguing MMA fight of the night will probably be the matchup between 155-pound David

Forsyth from Team Outlaw in Fairmont and David Perez from Baltimore,” Simons said. “Forsyth has looked great recently, and he will need to step up against Perez to notch his third professional win.”

Tickets will be $30 at the gate. For advance tickets or for VIP/Ringside seating inquiries, contact Simons Promotions at 304-290-0291. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

In its 32nd year, WWVUFM (or U92 as it’s called around campus) remains the only source for new and alternative music in Northern West Virginia and the best outlet for creative broadcasting experience at West Virginia University.

Student-run and independently funded, U92 features music, news, sports, promotions and production departments, all of which have increased in popularity since 2011. With a listenership now reaching as far as the West Coast, Europe and Asia, the burgeoning college radio station is primed for another prolific year.

After being nominated for a College Music Journal “Champion of the Local Scene” award in 2012, WWVU continues to support local musicians through their weekly Morgantown Sound Show.

Every Monday night during the semester, the station features an up-and-coming local act from 8-10 p.m.

The performance is held in the Gluck Theater in the Mountainlair and broadcast live on 91.7FM. “They’ve made our success easy,” said Morgantown Sound producer John Casey.

“With all the great musicians in West Virginia, all we have to do is point microphones at them and broadcast their talent over the air for the show to be successful.”

With bi-nightly specialty shows ranging from hiphop and reggae to classical, bluegrass and oldies,

WWVU prides itself on diversity and its constantly evolving format.

With more than 45 DJs and a full news and sports staff, the station is currently accepting applications for the fall semester.

News director Ardath Osborne has never seen so much on-campus interest this early in the semester.

“I’m especially excited that after less than two days, the interview sign-up sheet was almost filled,” Osborne said.

The station is located next to the Gluck Theater in the Mountainlair, and students are encouraged to stop in and sign-up for an interview time next week while there is still space.

The station has also launched a new website, complete with a new popup player for live-streaming, staff profiles, a donation link and a revamped programming schedule.

Both Feedback, the awardwinning weekly news talk show, and The Touchdown City Tailgate pregame show, which features weekly game previews, maintain their own sections of the new website.

Feedback airs on Wednesdays from 7-8 p.m.

The station can be found on iTunes Radio under the College/University category as WWVU-FM. Submissions for airplay can be submitted to the music director by email at wwvumd@gmail.com or by dropping off materials/press kits at the front desk during regular Mountainlair hours. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Late night BITEs in Morgantown

Photos by Doyle Maurer

Carol Fox A&E WRITER

I constantly find myself praising the idyllic location of West Virginia University. Not only is Morgantown beautiful, but the people who call it home are some of the most passionate and kindhearted in the country.

However, there are some aspects of Morgantown life that are less than ideal.

I’ve said many times that Morgantown provides the best qualities of smalltown living with the opportunities of larger cities. But the dining situation is certainly an exception to that rule. And the further into the night you go, Morgantown more and more resembles a barren desert … of food options, that is.

Below you’ll find a list of late-night dining options for when insomnia and hunger strike at the same time or when you find yourself up late into the night studying or partying.

Up until 11 p.m.?

Pies & Pints Although it’s not diffi-

cult to find a good pizza delivery place, Pies & Pints, located in the Suncrest Towne Centre provides diners with a unique pizza experience.

Not only do they offer salads, sandwiches and delicious desserts, but their pizzas are uniquely topped – like the pizza with red grapes, gorgonzola and rosemary. They also offer a selection of beers perfectly paired with their foods.

IHOP Sure, IHOP is a chain, but it’s a chain known for its particularly scrumptious pancakes. And who doesn’t want to eat pancakes at 10 p.m.?

The best thing about IHOP is they are open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays, so you can get your fluffy pancake (or burger, waffle or scrambled egg) fix super late.

Honorable Mention: Chico’s Fat. Up until midnight?

Tailpipes Arguably, the best place for burgers in town is Tailpipes. You could get one of their signature burgers

or “build your own” with ground beef, turkey, grilled or fried chicken, black bean or even a portabella mushroom cap.

Besides their crunchy and delicious fries, they have a lot of interesting sides to choose from – fried pickles, zucchini fries and fried mac ‘n’ cheese – as well as milkshakes, like the maple bacon or the creamsicle.

And, like IHOP, Tailpipes has extended weekend hours, which are now until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Boston Beanery Offering everything from soup and sandwiches to steak and crab, Boston Beanery provides diners a casual setting and aboveaverage food.

My personal favorite is the Beanery’s French onion soup. It’s got a beefy, onion-like flavor, and it’s topped with about an inch of cheese. Again, it’s open until 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, making eating late even easier.

Honorable Mentions: Wing’s Ole, Burger King, Morg antown Bre wing Company.

Big Sean remains in spotlight by staying out of it SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Big Sean has discovered that in order to find the spotlight, sometimes you have to stay out of it.

The rapper put Miley Cyrus front-and-center in his recent “Fire” music video, with his face seen just briefly in the background. Then he released “Control,” featuring an explosively competitive verse from Kendrick Lamar that overshadowed his own and has become the talk of hip-hop.

Both are leading up to his second album for Kanye West’s GOOD Music imprint, which blends Sean’s signature wordplay with some unexpectedly serious introspection.

Sean says licensing issues prevented him from including “Control” on “Hall of Fame,” out Aug. 27, but he wanted the song out “for the betterment of the culture.” On the track Compton-bred Lamar, one of the year’s breakout musicians, declares himself both “king of New York” and the West Coast, rapping that he wants to steal fans away from fellow rappers - including Sean. Sean said he deliberately didn’t rewrite his own lyrics after hear-

ing Lamar’s verse: “I’m from somewhere where you live by honor. I’m not going to be cheating, man.”

“Kendrick, when he dropped the names, it was such a dramatic thing. I love it. ... I haven’t seen a song this exciting in rap music in years, and that’s what it’s all about,” the 25-yearold said in an interview. “I already knew that people was going to be like, `Kendrick’s verse is the best!’ ...I’m happy I could provide that moment.”

The choice to highlight Cyrus in his video came from directors at DONDA, the company that West launched last year and has thus far focused on performance staging, album art and music videos.

“I wanted her to be a metaphor for ... people in general that made it through their own fire and came out strong, and as beautiful as a rose,” Sean said.

Sean’s “Hall of Fame” features collaborations with Lil Wayne, Nas, Nicki Minaj and Miguel. It’s the follow-up to his 2011 debut, “Already Famous,” which featured the hits

“Dance,” “My Last” and “Marvin & Chardonnay.”

Born in California and raised in Detroit, Sean Anderson launched his career by impressing West with a freestyle rap in a parking lot outside a Detroit radio station. Now like West and Kim Kardashian, Sean is enduring scrutiny of a very public relationship, with “Glee” star Naya Rivera.

“It’s definitely something new for me and her,” Sean said. “I don’t look at her as my famous girlfriend, I look at her as my girlfriend ... it’s just our jobs. It’s my job to rap and it’s her job to sing and act and stuff.”

He’s already collaborated with Rivera musically, on her song “Sorry.” But his new album also includes the apologetic and heartfelt “Ashley” addressing his ex, longtime love Ashley Marie, written when the two were still dating.

“I played it for Naya and she loved it, so I had nothing to worry about on that end.

It’s a true song,” Sean said.

“I’m not going to just change that because of what’s going on. It’s a good song.”

Up until 2 a.m.?

Buffalo Wild Wings I know this is another chain restaurant, but Buffalo Wild Wings offers a familiar atmosphere and will quench your craving for wings until 2:30 a.m. every day of the week except Sunday, which is when they close at 1 a.m.

You probably already know your favorite wing flavor, but Buffalo Wild Wings offers something for everyone – from salt and vinegar to teriyaki, from chipotle barbecue to Thai curry and their hottest Blazin’ sauce.

Rusted Musket With sandwiches named after cities, students new to WVU might be able to find a small taste of home at Rusted Musket.

From Cleveland? You might want to try the Cleveland sandwich, which has buffalo chicken, mozzarella sticks and American cheese. Or, do you hail from the West Coast? You might want to try the Los Angeles, which has steak, cajun chicken and bacon, with Vidalia onion vinaigrette, pepper jack and cheddar cheeses.

Or make yourself at home and try the Mountaineer, which has chicken, turkey, ham and American and Swiss cheese.

Honorable Mentions: Tilted Kilt, DP Dough.

Up even later?

Jimmy John’s Jimmy John’s, in my opinion, offers the best sub sandwiches in town. Their bread is delicious, tastes homemade and all of their ingredients are fresh, so you don’t feel bad about eating their sandwiches late at night.

The only drawback about Jimmy John’s is that they don’t offer diverse side options. While you may want French fries or soup with your sandwich, you can only choose from potato chips or dill pickles. But they do have large cookies for dessert.

Casa D’Amici While it’s easy to find a good pizza-delivery place in Morgantown, Casa D’Amici is unique because of its homemade taste.

Honorable Mention: Taco Bell, Pita Pit. Up all night?

McDonald’s and Sonic I grouped these options

together because you’ve almost certainly been to both of these places. Sure, they’re not healthy options, but they are open 24 hours a day. And, like my mom always says, beggars can’t be choosers.

Eat ‘n’ Park Eat ‘n’ Park, another chain, amazingly offers everything from all-day breakfast to a salad bar or pasta. They have such a large menu, and everything is pretty good.

What I love about Eat ‘n’ Park is while there are certainly less-than-healthy options on their menu, like sandwiches with French fries on them, it’s not impossible to eat healthily there, as well. You can always switch out sides of fries for a fresh salad or broccoli, which is good for those of us who might be worried about the dreaded Freshman 15.

Regardless of how late at night you’re awake whether it’s due to studying or going out, there’s sure to be a restaurant nearby in Morgantown to fulfill your hunger needs. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Sara Bareilles to bring ‘Brave’ tour to CAC

BY SHAWNEE MORAN A&E WRITER

She wants to see you be brave.

Sara Bareilles, in the midst of her “Brave” tour, will visit the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center Friday to play some of her newest music for die-hard fans and concertgoers.

Both students and Morgantown residents alike are excited for the Grammynominated singer to perform songs from her newest album, “The Blessed Unrest,” which was released earlier this summer, and her hit songs, such as “Gravity,” “King of Anything” and “Love Song,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100.

Harper Blynn, an indierock group that was named Paste magazine’s No. 1 new discovery of the 2009 CMJ festival, will open for Bareilles.

This talented band, produced by David Kahne, who has also produced for The Strokes, Regina Specktor and Paul McCartney, got their big start by playing in the lower east side of Manhattan.

The band formed in 2009 and rose to fame, eventually moving from New York to L.A. to further explore their music career. Harper Blynn has been touring ever since, both with other artists such as Ingrid Michaelson and Bareilles, as well as by themselves.

This band has several albums out including “Harper Blynn,” “The Loneliest Generation” and “Busy Hands.” Pete Harper, one of the main vocalists and guitarist for the group, said that concertgoers should expect to hear new music at the concert Friday.

justjared.com

Sara Bareilles performs during a recent concert. She will play material from her newest album, ‘The Blessed Unrest,’ Friday night.

“We’re pretty close (to our new album) being finished. My guess is that it will come out sometime early next year,” Harper said. “(In regard to the music Friday) it’s probably going to be mostly new stuff, but our music is pretty melodic in general and isn’t hard to get into.

“It’s all about putting on the best show that we can, and right now (for us) it feels like newer songs.”

Even though Harper has visited Morgantown once before, this will be the first time that the entire band has been to West Virginia.

Harper said that the group is looking forward to performing for audience members.

“Its going to be our first show of this tour with Sara, and it should be really exciting,” he said. “Sara’s a really good friend of ours …so it will be sort of a reunion for all of us. Our

drummer played on her most recent record – the one she’s touring now – and we’ve spent a lot of time with her in the last year or so.”

Harper said he is excited to be touring with Bareilles after spending time collaborating and personally getting to know her.

“Sara is a classy, beautiful woman. She’s really one of the nicest people you could ever meet, which is saying a lot given

how successful she is, too,” he said. “She is really generous, kind and is as wonderful as you would hope she would be. She’s a beautiful human being.”

Harper said he enc o u ra g e s c o n c e r t g o ers to get into the music Friday and enjoy the show.

“Everyone should have a really good time and do not hold back from enjoying the experience as much as you possibly can,” Harper

said. “We like love to travel and hang out in places that we do travel, so if you see us in town (after the show) just say hi, and we’ll hang out.”

‘WHEN THE BULLETS START FLYING’

Holgorsen’s history a good omen for WVU Through the offseason into fall camp, the biggest question concerning the West Virginia football program is how will it replace former stars Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.

Of course these three players had special careers in Morgantown highlighted by an Orange Bowl championship and touchdowns galore.

But college football – just like life – moves on.

West Virginia knows it has to move on by replacing the superstars with relatively unknown commodities.

The truth is WVU and head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense will be fine. Personnel turnover in college football with graduation and the NFL Draft is absolutely natural. Holgorsen understands that and has dealt with it in the past.

At Texas Tech in 2005, under Mike Leach, Holgorsen called plays for quarterback Cody Hodges. In the 2005 season, Hodges averaged 369 passing yards per game, and the Red Raiders led the nation in passing offense. Texas Tech fans had to think that losing Hodges could be problematic. But of course, it wasn’t.

Holgorsen then plugged in Graham Harrell, who went on to become the NCAA’s third all-time leader in career passing touchdowns and passing yards. Harrell proved that the system was special.

Like Hodges and Harrell, at the receiver position, different players like Trey Haverty, Wes Welker, Nehemiah Glover and Danny Amendola rolled through under Holgorsen. They all produced and totaled for more than 1,000 receiving yards in their career.

Similar to what he did at Texas Tech, Holgorsen developed a similar system at Houston. After enduring his first quarterback battle, Holgorsen under Kevin Sumlin elected to go with Case Keenum, who then led the nation in total offense in both 2008 and 2009.

Then in 2010, Holgorsen took his offense to Oklahoma State where players like Brandon Weeden, Justin Blackmon and Kendall Hunter hadn’t taken a snap in his system. The trio led the Cowboys to becoming the thirdbest total and scoring offense nationally.

Holgorsen and company will figure out how to place personnel for both the individual player and the team to be successful. Better players make the system more effective undoubtedly, but the scheme still works. From 2005-2012, Holgorsen never had a season where his team finished lower than the No. 13 best scoring offense nationally.

West Virginia will put up yards, points and participate in Big 12 shootouts that look like games the Mountaineers played in last year against Baylor, Oklahoma and TCU. So settle down – the absence of Geno Smith, Tavon Austin or Stedman Bailey will be not be a problem for WVU. Instead, it’ll be Clint Trickett, Kevin White, Mario Alford and Charles Sims putting up stats. Holgorsen’s offense will be fine.

Safeties Darwin Cook and Karl Joseph will lean on experience to handle adversity in 2013

by Connor Murray Associate Sports Editor

As odd as it may be to think about considering last year’s results, West Virginia’s defense, particularly its secondary, may be one of the strongest position groups heading into the 2012 season.

With sophomore Karl Joseph recording 104 tackles and redshirt senior Darwin Cook ranking No. 4 in forced fumbles in the Big 12 in 2012, West Virginia has two top flight safeties who will have to lead the way for the Mountaineers to have a defensive turnaround in 2013.

For that to happen, head coach Dana Holgorsen has stressed the need to be better at disguising defensive looks to confuse opposing offenses this season.

“Karl (Joseph) and Darwin (Cook) are two experienced guys at the safeties, and those guys need to disguise things.

They cannot give away what they are going to be doing or offensively we will be able to see it and get in better plays,” Holgorsen said.

With a combined 51 games of experience under their belts, Joseph and Cook must continue to grow and become more accustomed to defensive coordinator

BY DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER

After allowing a school record 495 points last season, the West Virginia defense will need to make some major adjustments heading into its secondever Big 12 campaign. Many of those adjustments begin up front, and according to redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Kyle Rose, he’s actually quite pleased with what he’s seen from his teammates and the defensive front as a whole.

“We’re all buying in,” Rose said. “We’re going to be pretty good.”

Rose referenced depth and leadership as two factors that have helped the somewhat beleaguered unit regain some confidence since last season.

“Anytime you’re going against competition like that – you know, best in the country – you can’t help but benefit from that,” Rose said.

West Virginia is returning five defensive linemen who saw action in 2012 in Eric Kinsey, Christian Brown, Will Clarke, Shaq Rowell and Rose.

One of the primary focuses for the defensive line in 2013 will be getting pressure back on opposing quarterbacks. After the WVU defensive linemen combined for 18 sacks and 35 tackles for loss in 2011, the unit managed just 17 TFLs and only 3.5 sacks all season.

Some players had also referenced a lack of leadership in the collective shortcomings of the defense last year, but Rowell, now a redshirt senior, is looking to change that according to his teammates.

“Shaq (Rowell) is a nat- order to meet the coaches’ ural leader,” Rose said. “I lofty expectations.

“We wanted to change think he’s one of the top leaders on our team. the way we thought around “Once you have a big body like him in the middle, he’s just eating everything up, and it makes it easy to make plays. He’s such a big guy and so vocal that you can’t really help but listen to him.”

Clarke, another redshirt senior, said he agreed with his teammate’s sentiments about Rowell’s abilities and the defensive line’s overall depth.

“I like how he clogs that hole and makes running backs bounce out to Eric (Kinsey) or myself,” Clarke said. “I am very confident in our depth. It allows us guys that start to get more of a break and everyone to catch their breath. We will be more fresh when we come on the field.”

Clarke recorded 1.5 sacks and 6.5 TFLs in 2012, nearly a third of the defensive line’s entire production. He’s also earned some praise from his coaches for his work so far this offseason, both on and off the field.

“He’s a great leader (and a) great guy,” said defensive line coach Erik Slaughter.

“He does things off the field for our program; if there’s a sick kid in the hospital, he’s there and if there’s somebody that needs help.

“He’s a model studentathlete, and you couldn’t ask for a better guy. I think he still has a lot of upside, so that’s my job to help him get there.”

Regardless of who is taking snaps under center for opposing teams this year, the Mountaineers’ defensive line will still need to crank up the intensity in

try to get them uncomfortable and maintain that discipline when the bullets start flying on the field.”

The true test of Joseph and Cook’s mettle will come when things go wrong. Football can be a chaotic game at times, and for the two safeties, dealing with this chaos and keeping a level head will be crucial to the success of the entire defense.

“When you come to that adversity you have to focus and concentrate on the big picture, which is your assignments and responsibilities,” Patterson said. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

year). We are talking about many of the same bodies, so we ought to be ahead of where we were last season,” Holgorsen said.

Having some in-game experience and familiarity with the defensive scheme will help Joseph and Cook throughout the season as the competition gets hotter and the stakes are higher.

“The picture for our players is that a diamond doesn’t become a diamond without intense heat and pressure,” Patterson said. “Maybe the politically correct way to put it is that we apply a lot of heat and pressure on our players and our coaches to

QUESTIONABLE CALLS

Who will be the surprise player for the Mountaineers this season?

The Surprise Player of the Year will be junior college transfer Dreamius Smith.

While West Virginia has a ton of talent in the backfield this season, Smith possesses qualities that WVU fans saw with Shawne Alston in the past.

The Witchita, Kan., native impressed many scouts at JUCO power Butler Community College. Smith gained nearly 1,000 yards and had 17 touchdowns while at Butler CC. Smith knew about West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen while he was at Oklahoma State, and he was always interested in playing in his up-tempo offense. Along with juniors Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie and Houston transfer Charles Sims, Smith could excel in Holgorsen’s offense.

With Holgorsen’s offense, Smith should be able to read the offense fairly easily. His 5-foot11 and 217-pound frame could be intimidating to Big 12 defenses throughout the season.

—ab

With the 2013 football season just nine days away, questions still remain as to who will step up for West Virginia to fill the shoes of the prolific offensive weapons that are now in the NFL. The receiving corps are feeling the brunt of this burden, having to replace Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin, who combined for 2,911 receiving yards and 37 touchdowns in the 2012 season.

A familiar face in senior receiver Ivan McCartney seems poised for a breakout year in a season that could serve as a redemption tour for the Miami native.

With a year and a half in head coach Dana Holgorsen’s system, McCartney can serve as a leader to a young and inexperienced group of receivers.

Other than his experience, the fact that this is McCartney’s last chance to make a name for himself and potentially raise his draft stock gives the senior wide receiver plenty of reason to be motivated going into this season.

—cm

It’s hard to pick a surprise player on a team of essentially all newcomers and players who haven’t had game experience, but of those new faces, there is one with big play ability in junior college transfer Mario Alford. Imported from Georgia Military College, Alford fits perfectly in Dana Holgorsen’s offense. With ability to play in the slot, Alford gives WVU a threat to score anytime he’s on the field.

At 5-foot-9 and 175 pounds, Alford is lightning-quick, shifty and explosive.

“Mario (Alford) is the fastest on the team. A flash, the kid can run,” said wide reciever Ivan McCartney.

Alford can return kicks and offensively be on the receiving end of the patented touch pass play Holgorsen likes to call so often.

Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said he also believes in Alford’s speed and ability.

—gm

With so many new faces featured on this year’s edition of West Virginia football, narrowing down a surprise player isn’t exactly the easiest prediction.

The Mountaineers are loaded with as much depth as they’ve ever had in recent years, and quite honestly, any number of new players could make a name for themselves in 2013.

Having said that, I think the biggest breakout season is going to come from true freshman receiver Daikiel Shorts. Shorts was very recently moved to the inside receiver or slot position, where we’ve seen players like Tavon Austin wreak absolute havoc on opposing defenses playing in Dana Holgorsen’s offensive system.

Shorts is obviously a different breed of receiver than Austin, at 6-feet and 198 pounds, but was scouted as a very dependable and physical possession receiver out of Eastern Christian Academy.

—dw

The 2012 season was frustrating for junior running back Dustin Garrison. After tearing his ACL prior to West Virginia’s 2011 Orange Bowl victory, Garrison was never fully healthy in the 2012 season, and it showed in his lack of production and field time.

As a freshman, Garrison showed a lot of promise, running for more than 700 yards and scoring six touchdowns. He also caught 24 passes out of the backfield. His 291yard rushing performance against Bowling Green solidified not the starting role, but his legitimacy.

With Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey now gone, coupled with the Mountaineers uncertainty at quarterback, the Mountaineers will look to run the ball more frequently. If Garrison can stay healthy in 2013, expect to see him be a key contributor in the Mountaineer offense and regain the promise he had as a freshman.

—kh

The most surprising player on the 2013 Mountaineer football team can be found with one of the most experienced groups on the team, the defensive line. Redshirt sophomore defensive end Kyle Rose will have a tremendous opportunity to reap the benefits of offensive lines keeping their eyes on Will Clarke and Shaq Rowell, among others, in West Virginia’s front three.

Rose, a 6-foot-4, 283-pound defensive end, played in all 13 games last year and accounted for 25 total tackles for the Mountaineers.

As a downed-lineman in a 3-4 defensive scheme, you aren’t looking for big numbers as much as you want disruption on the line and backfield.

Significant playing time last season was important for Rose, giving him his first taste of college football. With an entire season now under his belt, Rose is a perfect candidate who has adjusted and can be a breakout talent.

Bruce leads linebackers as 2013 season draws near

BY KEVIN HOOKER SPORTS WRITER

Despite the disappointing 2012 football season for the Mountaineers, the underclassmen showed promise for a bright future.

Linebacker Isaiah Bruce, for example, had 94 tackles as a redshirt freshman, earning him freshman AllAmerican honors by the Associated Press.

Bruce also had two interceptions and two fumble recoveries.

This season, head coach Dana Holgerson and his staff are consider-

ing switching Bruce from Sam linebacker to outside linebacker.

As a Sam linebacker (or strongside linebacker), Bruce’s main role was to protect against both the run and pass. Sam linebackers need to provide strong run support and fill in gaps on the run but may also need to drop into zone coverage on passing situations.

Needless to say, Sam linebackers are extremely versatile, and part of Bruce’s success last season was because of the role he was given.

“I have mostly been

(practicing) on the outside and just a bit on the inside,” Bruce said. “If they feel like it will help the team, it may become permanent. If not, then I will play more middle.”

As an outside linebacker, Bruce would rely more on his speed and quick feet to adjust to different situations. Outside linebackers must read the play and react quickly to determine which type of coverage they need to deploy.

It’s also worth noting that Bruce was a state champion in Florida in the 300-meter hurdles in high school.

Open field tackling is essential to an outside linebacker, so if Bruce does indeed make the switch, expect his 94 tackle count from 2012 to increase.

“If you know the middle, you should know the outside as well, because the same principles apply for our type of defense,” he said.

The switch doesn’t really have anything to do with Bruce’s talent. Rather, it’s about having the best player on the field at the right time. Bruce’s versatility allows for more flexibility in certain packages.

“I like it,” Bruce said on the switch. “I get to rush a little bit more. I haven’t rushed off the edge since 10th grade. It is a little bit more fun right now, even if we are (just practicing). I’m just taking it all in.”

Defensive coordinator Keith Patterson is excited for the switch, as well.

“I had a gut feeling (this would) work,” Patterson said. “He’s already better on the perimeter than he was on the inside. I think (this switch) makes us a better defense out there.”

Despite West Virginia’s historically bad defense

last year, Bruce, along with a few fellow freshmen, showed flashes of promise.

Freshman safety Karl Joseph had 104 tackles, which led the team.

Bruce, despite being just a sophomore, will look to be a vocal leader in the middle of the field. Doug Rigg is the only senior in the relatively inexperienced group.

“I just have to worry about taking care of my part,” Bruce said. “If I take care of my one-eleventh, I’m making sure we have a successful play.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
