Meet the new Voice of ‘Something new’: Stadium to offer the Mountaineers taste of local favorite flavors By Summer Ratcliff City Editor

No Mountaineer football game is complete without the sounds of the West Virginia University Marching Band. With the band comes the famous voice of Bill Nevin. While most fans can easily recognize Nevin’s distinct voice, few actually know the face behind it. Nevin, a native of Ottawa, Ill., and graduate of Southern Illinois University, moved to Morgantown in 1990 to take a job with West Virginia Radio. After 11 years, Nevin came to work for the University in the News and

Fans of West Virginia University football come to Milan Puskar Stadium for its atmosphere, its Mountaineer football and now, for its food. This football season, Mountaineers will be able to enjoy more concessions at a faster pace. The stadium will offer five new concessions including Wow Wingery, The Gourmet Hot Dog Stand, Simply To-Go, Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint and The End Zone Tap House, which will feature craft ales from

Morgantown Brewing Company. “When you say you’re on tap at the Mountaineer football stadium, you get that sense of pride,” said Lauren Sandberg, marketing director at the Morgantown Brewing Company. Sandberg said the brews will be sold on tap at four different locations throughout the stadium this year: the East and West concession stands, the North end zone and Touch Down Terrace. The Brewery will contribute its Alpha Blonde Ale and its Zach Morgan’s IPA to the selection

of beers at the stadium. “I think people are just getting tired of the standard offering,” Sandberg said. “People are just ready for something new, ready for something different. People want to come and do what’s local and drink what’s local, and West Virginia is known for its tailgating. It’s cool to be a part of the tradition that is Mountaineer football.” Sandberg said the Morgantown Brewing Company distributes its ale locally as well as to other cities in West Virginia.

BALANCING ACT

A day in the life of the Mountaineer Mascot

by megan calderado staff writer

“Without challenge, there can be no Mountaineers.” While this saying rings true for all Mountaineers, no one person can relate more than the man behind the buckskins. Most West Virginia University students and fans only have the opportunity to see the Mountaineer Mascot on gameday. They see him running around signing auto-

graphs and taking pictures, exciting the fans and doing countless push-ups with each score. While gameday is a portion of the Mountaineer’s duties, this extremely important job entails much more than what meets the eye. In February, Jonathan Kimble, the man behind the buckskin suit and raccoon hat, once again took on the lifestyle and responsibilities of being the Mountaineer for his second and final year. “I didn’t know much about the mountaineer mascot be-

fore I came to school here,” Kimble said. “Just like any other student, I was up in the Mountaineer Maniacs section just cheering, never sitting down and getting the whole crowd fired up around me. My friends saw how much passion I had for WVU sports, and they suggested I try out for the Mountaineer.” The third time was a charm for Kimble, as he applied for the job his sophomore and junior year, but was not awarded the title until he was a senior. “I said to them, ‘You mean I

Holgorsen Show kicks off with large turnout by summer ratcliff & madison fleck da staff

The sounds of Mountaineer football filled the air at Kegler’s Sports Bar & Lounge Thursday night as this season’s first edition of “The Dana Holgorsen Show” aired. “We have changed locations, and we have changed faces,” said Tony Caridi, the Radio Voice of the Mountaineers. “We talk about it and talk about it forever, and spring bowl becomes summer, and offseason conditioning, and

then all of a sudden practice starts. “Then when these kinds of things start hitting, you start seeing the flag on top of the cars and people starting to get ramped up. Now we are just a couple of days away from the opener; it is time to play football.” Approx imately 200 Mountaineer fans packed into the bar area of the restaurant to hear head coach Dana Holgorsen talk about the upcoming football season. Holgorsen said he is highly anticipating the

kickoff Saturday. “It’s good to be back, it means game time is on the horizon,” he said. Holgorsen said he is pleased with the players’ performances leading up to this weekend’s game against William & Mary. “They’ve done a good job of eliminating distractions. They’ve handled the school work and we’ve had three good practices, we can’t do anything more,” he said. “We’ve got to get to the game Saturday until we can tell anything else about our football team at this point.”

Loyal fans from around the area came to show their support and to take part in the festivities. Jeremy Cole, Morgantown resident and West Virginia University alum, said because of his excitement for the beginning of football season, he always attends the first show each year. “My dad has had season tickets since 1988, so I grew up watching WVU football,” Cole said. Having been brought up on the ideals of Mountaineer sports, Cole said he is optimistic about this

year’s team and the potential they possess. “This is one of the first years where I really don’t have expectations. Let’s just get to a bowl game,” he said. “I know we’re a young team, but I think we might surprise some people and win at least nine games – at least that’s what I’m hoping for.” Kegler’s manager Doug Moore said although the day had been hectic he was pleased with the large turnout. “I think more people will come out for this since it is sports oriented.

like sports, this is where you want to be, and this is a good place to have it,” he said. “We’re opening it up to people who’ve never been here before, and hopefully they’ll come back and enjoy the game. Instead of coming once a week, they might come more often.” The call-in radio show airs each Thursday evening before home football games 7-9 p.m. on the Mountaineer Sports Network from IMG. summer.ratcliff@mail.wvu.edu

Roundabout to eliminate gameday traffic woes By Laura Haight Correspondent

The increase in traffic that Saturday’s football home opener will bring to Morgantown is bound to put the new roundabout, located at the intersection of Route 705 and Mileground Road, to the ultimate test. This intersection is one of the most congested in the area, and the newly opened roundabout aims to keep the traffic flowing , as opposed to the original traffic light that previously left cars backed up for miles.

KIMBLE

Continued FROM page 1 traveling to different elementary schools, children’s hospitals and a lot of different WVU functions.” Kimble said while it’s been an incredible and unique experience, it can be difficult to balance everything. Kimble is still working on his Master’s degree at WVU and is planning on graduating in May, just after hanging up his rifle for good in April. “A couple years ago I was trying out for the Mountaineer and applying to grad school. I didn’t really know if I would get either of those, but everything’s just fallen into place,” Kimble said. “It can get hard. Today I’ve been away from Morgantown since 6 a.m. visiting elementary schools, so it’s very time consuming,” Kimble said. “But it’s a great sacrifice to be able to

Jason Nelson, District 4 Construction Engineer, said he has received mostly positive feedback about the new traffic patterns. “At first it seemed to be confusing to drivers, so we changed some of our road markings and signs, but for the most part it was just people getting used to the new configuration,” Nelson said. Although the roundabout itself hasn’t caused any accidents, the problem seems to be drivers don’t particularly know how to navigate it correctly. Because this is Morgan-

town’s first roundabout, it has taken many drivers by surprise, thus causing them to stop in the middle of it or change lanes incorrectly. “If anybody is concerned about using the roundabout, I would direct them towards the W.Va. Division of Highway’s website,” Nelson said. On the website, concerned drivers will find a video tutorial on how to properly use a roundabout and a FAQ that answers all possible questions. Nelson said the most important thing when entering the roundabout is

give back to the state of West Virginia and make it a better place.” Coming from the small town of Franklin, W.Va., Kimble said one of his most memorable experiences was being the Mountaineer during WVU’s inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference. “WVU got a lot of exposure, and so I got to be in ESPN commercials. They flew me out to L.A., put me in this fancy hotel, I bumped into Erin Andrews in the weight room, and I got to be around the whole College Gameday crew. It was a pretty neat experience,” Kimble said. Kimble also had the chance to represent all Mountaineers in a WVU commercial, in which he ran through Cooper’s Rock. “I have thousands of pictures of things I’ve gotten to experience and people I’ve gotten to meet, so every day is just something unique, and it’s quite the blessing,”

Kimble said. Amid all the chaos that comes with Kimble’s alter ego, he fell in love. “I’m actually married,” he said. “I had one free weekend last year during the whole entire summer, and that was the weekend we got married.” While this weekend is another busy one for Kimble, he’s excited to run out onto the field of Milan Puskar Stadium for the kickoff of his last football season as the Mountaineer. “People always ask me, ‘What are you going to do when you’re done being the Mountaineer?’ And I tell them I don’t know, I don’t think about it – I don’t want to think about it,” Kimble said. “But someone else will have the chance to live the dream as the Mountaineer, and I’ll just go back to being another crazy fan again.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

to yield to the cars already inside of it. “If any of the students are concerned about it, just give it some time and you’ll get used to going through it. Everybody else over the summer seemed to have acclimated to it pretty well,” he said. Carrie Bly, spokesperson for the Division of Transportation, said authorities will be keeping an eye on the roundabout come Saturday and will direct traffic if the need arises. “The thing about roundabouts is that if there is an accident, most are by firsttime users and you’re go-

ing so slow that there isn’t heavy damage,” Bly said. Nicole Kurtanich, a senior psychology student at West Virginia University, said she uses the roundabout at least once a week. Kurtanich said agrees that at first the roundabout can prove to be chaotic for drivers who may not have encountered one previously, but overall she likes the flow tcreated by the roundabout. “Beyond the initial shock of it, I think it will keep football traffic moving at a constant rate so local police won’t have to manually direct traf-

fic during gameday,” Kurtanich said. Mike Gaszi, a car salesman for 1 Touchdown City Pre-Owned Vehicles, located nearest to the roundabout. Although the construction leading up to the roundabout hurt his sales, he admits now that the roundabout works better than the previous traffic light. “Before they did this ( ro u n d a b o u t ) , t h e re w e re a c c i d e n t s e veryday.

CORRECTION Due to an error in Thursday’s edition of The Daily Athenaeum, the Career Kick-Off Tailgate Party will be held today, Aug. 30, from 1-4 p.m. on the Mountainlair Plaza. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

NEW YORK (AP) — It only took two kittens to stop the city’s subway in its tracks. Power was cut to the B and Q lines in Brooklyn for more than an hour after a woman reported Thursday morning that her kittens were loose in the nation’s largest subway system, transit officials said. The furry felines, one black and the other white with gray stripes, were finally found on the tracks and rescued about seven hours later. How they got there was a mystery. But they were seen running dangerously close to the high-voltage third rail. Their owner rushed to a subway station with cat food for transit workers dispatched onto the tracks to use to try to corral them. Power was suspended be-

“You can go to a bar and drink the beer that the fans at the game are drinking,” she said. “It’s a cool concept. They can get the IPA at home, they can get it here, and they can get it at the stadium.” Along with locally brewed beers, The End Zone Tap House will offer bar foods such as bratwurst on a pretzel bun. Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint is another appealing dining option for Mountaineer fans. On game days, the Joint will begin as early as 4 a.m. to smoke a full pig at the main entrance of Milan Puskar Stadium. Pork sandwiches and sausage is what Martin’s

tween several stops– about half the Q line and the B line’s entire service in Brooklyn – on the local and express tracks for 90 minutes, Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokeswoman Judie Glave said. The express line was stopped another halfhour while workers kept searching. But the skittish kittens disappeared again before being discovered Thursday evening under the third rail of an above-ground express track. Police officers removed the kittens in crates, Glave said. Officials said workers and passengers in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood had been on the lookout for the kittens and train operators were asked to proceed with caution. If they saw anything moving on the tracks, they were required to stop and

notify the rail control center. Some passengers wanted to help by scouring the tracks but were turned down by MTA workers citing safety concerns. While the effort on behalf of the kittens created delays for passengers, the Q operated a shuttle service between two of its normal Brooklyn stops, said transit officials, who couldn’t immediately provide the cost of the extra service. Conjoined boys separated at Dallas hospital DALLAS (AP) — The mother of twins successfully separated after being born joined at the chest says she’s looking forward to holding the babies she once thought had no chance of survival. “I’m just so happy that they’re here and they’re alive and thriving. It’s the best feel-

ing in the world,” Jenni Ezell said Thursday during a news conference at Medical City Children’s Hospital in Dallas, where she was joined by husband Dave and a doctor. Owen and Emmett Ezell were separated Saturday at the hospital after being born joined from just below the breast bone to just below the belly button on July 15. The babies shared a liver and intestines and had an about 3 inch by 5 inch area on their lower stomach that wasn’t covered by skin or muscles. “The whole pregnancy was very frightening. I didn’t know what would happen. I didn’t know if they would make it. It’s hard as a mom to know that,” Ezell said tearfully. Dr. Clair Schwenueman, a neonatologist, said that once the boys were born, tests

were done to determine exactly how many connections they had. During the ninehour surgery, a team of surgeons separated the liver and intestines, with the most difficult part being the separation of a shared blood vessel in the liver. “At this point they’re as stable as we could hope for postoperatively,” Schwenueman said. Conjoined twins are rare, occurring in about one in 50,000 to one in 200,000 deliveries, the doctor said. The Ezells, both 31, discovered the twins they were expecting were conjoined on March 1, when she was 17 weeks pregnant. The couple, who now live in Dallas but lived in Oklahoma at the time, said their doctor there gave them little hope the babies would survive.

“We didn’t think they had a chance, that they weren’t going to make it at all,” she said. “So we decided to abort and it was the hardest decision that a mother has to make.” The Dallas clinic where they went for the abortion had concerns that her scar from previous cesarean sections might tear and sent her to Medical City for a consultation about the scar tissue. During that visit, a doctor unexpectedly told the parents that there was hope for their unborn boys, Jenni Ezell said. “I could not contain my joy,” said Ezell, who added that since they weren’t even looking for a second opinion, she felt that through the whole process God was leading them to “exactly where we needed to be.”

ing for the band and my 10th year announcing for basketball.” Nevin’s booming voice will now not only be the voice of the Pride of West Virginia, it will also be the voice of WVU Football. “I was contacted by the athletic department a couple weeks ago because Travis Jones, who did the football announcing for the last 10 years or so, recently took another job,” he said. “So they were in need of someone to do the football announcing this year. I’m really honored that they asked me to do that.” Because of the much larger volume of players, Nevin said making the transition to announcing for

football from basketball is a challenge but one that he is ready to tackle. “With football you obviously have larger rosters of players than you do with basketball. You really have to wait for the depth charts to come out, and for WVU it was just back on Sunday night that we got our twodeep depth chart,” he said. “Then you also have to look at the depth chart of the opposing team, so you start looking over the names and familiarize yourself with the starters and their backups. You almost put together a depth chart on paper for yourself.” Nevin also said the fact that WVU operates under such a quick offense also

proves to be challenging for announcers. There’s a lot of information to process and immediately announce. “You have a spotter that works with you to help you because with WVU’s offense, it moves really quickly, and you don’t have a lot of time to really react to the plays,” Nevin said. “If it’s a run play – who the ball carrier is; if it’s a pass – who was the pass completed to and who made the tackle. You also have to look at the distance of the play and the down marker.” In addition to announcing the plays, there is also a lot of scripting that goes into a game. Nevin said prior to each game he receives a script and spends several

days previewing that script. “We have a lot of announcements that are made before the game even starts, announcements during timeouts and at the end of each quarter. So you have another script that is prepared for you that you go over prior to game time,” he said. “We usually get the script several days in advance to look over and ask questions.” Nevin said although announcing for football is going to be a bigger challenge for him than announcing for basketball, he feels extremely honored to have the opportunity to be a part of WVU football game days. “Announcing for football is certainly a bigger

challenge, but I’m really excited for it,” he said. “Everyone gets so enthused about Mountaineer sports and everyone loves the WVU marching band. “To actually have a role and to be a part of the experience people get when they attend a game or a concert is really a thrill for me.” For a full bio of Nevin, visit http://imc.wvu.edu/ about/faculty/bill_nevin.

will offer to Mountaineer football fans. “It’ll be something new and something different,” said Micah Davis, assistant manager at Martin’s. “We’re hoping to sell out.” The Joint will occupy four locations in the stadium, at each corner, according to Davis. “Our owners went to WVU, so they’re all about the school spirit and the football game,” he said. “We’re definitely honored to be part of it.” Fans will also have access to healthier options this year at Simply To-Go, which will be located at the East and West sides of the stadium. The carts will contain items like wraps, parfaits and peanut butter and jelly. More registers will also

be provided at the stadium, reducing wait time for fans. The additional registers have been added to the grill carts on both the East and West sides of the stadium, and the stands will now accept credit cards, giving fans a more convenient option. Whether fans crave craft beer, New York style hot dogs, pulled pork, wings or peanut butter and jelly, all tastes can be fulfilled this season at Milan Puskar Stadium. madison.fleck@mail.wvu.edu

Carolina Chocolate Drops pack MET BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR

Cory Dobson/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Carolina Chocolate Drops rock the Metropolitan Theatre on High Street.

As patrons both young and old entered the beautiful Metropolitan Theatre Thursday night to see the Carolina Chocolate Drops and the seats began to fill, the excitement was evident. The lights lowered and opening act The Weedrags took the stage. Formed in 2010, the Appalachian trio The Weedrags of Washington County, Pa., is a string band comprised of Andy Greg on upright bass, Gary Antol on guitar and Libby Eddy on fiddle. The group possessed a rustic look, which enhanced their bluegrass and country-style music. With original songs such as “Jangly Jack,” “High on a Mountaintop” and “First Try Type of Guy,” the groups country roots were obvious. While listening to this opening act, it was nearly impossible not to tap your foot along to the music. Local band Dog & Gun,

comprised of Evan Johns, Trent Porter and Ben Perdue, played outside the venue before the show began. They were excited to be given the opportunity to see such great music. “They (The Weedrags) were phenomenal,” Johns said. “It’s nice to see someone from Morgantown play in this kind of a venue.” Finally, after a seemingly never-ending intermission, the Carolina Chocolate Drops took the stage. With a backdrop featuring their name and a variety of instruments alongside them on stage, they began to get comfortable in four chairs along the front. Comprised of two original members Rhiannon Giddens and Dom Flemons and new members Hubby Jenkins and Leyla McCalla, the group made the MET stage their home and connected immediately with the audience. “It’s a pleasure to be here at the MET,” Flemons said. Wednesday, the group had a day off in Morgantown and said it was a “very

pleasant time.” After touring and performing at festivals across Europe in Finland, Denmark and England, the group traveled immediately to the Mountain State. For the first few songs, Giddens played with her 8-month-old son on her back, showing the true meaning of multitasking. According to Giddens, her son was suffering from a little separation anxiety, so she needed to bring him on stage for a bit. “I’ve never done an actual show (with him), only soundchecks,” Giddens said. With songs such as “Old Black Annie” and “Don’t Trouble Your Mind,” the group displayed their ease for encompassing multiple genres of music. A unique mix of bluegrass, country and soul was provided for the packed MET. Throughout the performance, all the members of the group switched and played a variety of instruments, further showcasing their talents. Banjo, fiddle, guitar, harmonica, snare

drum, bones, jug and kazoo were all used during the performance. One of the most interesting and entertaining songs the group played was a cover of Blu Cantrell’s R&B hit, “Hit ‘Em Up Style.” The best aspect of the Carolina Chocolate Drops performance, though, would have to be their ability to connect with the audience. When they weren’t talking and joking with the audience, they were teaching more about their instruments and the history of their music, which was incredibly interesting and allowed the audience to get to know the group on another level. While showcasing their outstanding vocals and amazing sound from instruments, the Carolina Chocolate Drops seemed to truly enjoy their performance at the MET, as they were constantly laughing and dancing, leaving the audience with smiles on their faces. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Palace of Gold Moundsville, WV

Every year during Labor Day weekend, a festival is held just 30 minutes south of Morgantown in Clarksburg, W.Va. The 35th annual West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival is set to kick off today on Main Street in Clarksburg, packed with entertainment for everyone to enjoy, regardless of their heritage. Aside from the many tents that line the street selling Italian cuisine, such as steak sandwiches, hoagies, pasta, butterfly fries, fritis (a sugary doughnut treat) and cannolis – which are filled with cream and covered in chocolate – the festival also features much entertainment. Brandon LeRoy, a junior civil engineering student from Bridgeport, W.Va., will be singing and showcasing his talent at the festival. “I will be singing a variety of popular Broadway songs from plays such as Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story, Rent and Beauty and the Beast, along with current top hits by artists such as Michael Buble, Josh Groban and the Glee cast,” LeRoy said. “I will also be performing a couple soprano saxophone solos from Kenny G.” LeRoy will be performing on the Showcase Stage Friday and Saturday 2:30-3:45 p.m., which is located halfway between City Hall and the Moose Lodge on Main Street. Pam Krall, who LeRoy has been performing for at her music studio for quite some time, asked LeRoy to perform on her Showcase Stage at the festival. “When she asked me this, she said she wanted me to be one of the featured per-

formers for the stage and put on an hour set,” LeRoy said. “After that I agreed, and we worked together to get as much publicity as we could for my performance and for the Showcase Stage.” LeRoy will also be performing in the evenings with a popular local band in the Clarksburg area, Amici. “Amici has become a must-see for the festival, as they have become famous for closing the night out by bringing people to their feet and dancing in the streets,” LeRoy said. LeRoy will be a featured saxophone performer with Amici, with whom he will do improvisational saxophone solos for some of the many pop and Italian hits for which Amici is known. “I am most excited for giving the local public an option of supporting the arts, showing them my talent and making a connection to the audience,” LeRoy said. “That is my favorite part of performing, when I can either move or inspire people through my performances. That is when the use of my talents really mean the most to me.” Elleyse Gemondo, a West Virginia University fashion design and merchandising student, also from Bridgeport, will play a large part as the Italian Heritage Festival Queen, Regina Maria XXXV. “My role as queen is to serve as a symbol for the festival,” Gemondo said. “My personal goal as queen is to be a role model for the younger kids to look up to as well as to represent my Italian heritage and culture.” Gemondo has participated in many festival events already, such as the Spring Gala and the 25th annual Pasta Cook-Off. This

weekend, Gemondo will be crowned at noon on Friday during the Coronation. Saturday, she will be in the grand parade from 10 a.m.noon, and Sunday, she’ll participate in Mass. “Other than that, I will be spending my time walking the streets, enjoying the food and entertainment and being with friends and family,” Gemondo said. Gemondo was chosen as Regina Maria XXXV after going through a rigorous interview process. WVU fashion design and merchandising student Samantha Patsy and secondary education student Carrington Riggs, both from Bridgeport, will also play a role in the festival as Maids of Honor. Lou Gramm, lead vocalist for Foreigner; Jo Dee Messina, a CMA and AMA Award-winning country singer and songwriter; and The Buckinghams, known for their ‘60s pop-rock, will take the stage for three nights of free shows during the festival. “We wanted to try to span some generations and genres of music to have something for everyone to get as many people out here for the 35th anniversary as we can,” said Lindsey M. Lowe, festival coordinator to The Exponent Telegram, Clarksburg’s local newspaper. Lou Gramm will perform on Saturday at 8:30 p.m., Jo Dee Messina will perform on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. and The Buckinghams will perform on Friday at 8 p.m. Amici will perform Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m. to close the festival each night.

Mountaineer Idol 2013 FINALISTS

Fall movie preview: 10 performances to watch this fall AP ENTERTAINMENT — The fall movie going season offers a bevy of hotly anticipated performances – some from famous faces, others from less familiar ones. Here are 10 worth being excited about: M AT T H E W Mc C O NAUGHEY – He’s already given an Oscar-worthy supporting performance in Jeff Nichols’ Mississippi River coming-of-age tale “Mud” earlier this year. And McConaughey also has a role in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming “The Wolf of Wall Street.” But in “Dallas Buyers Club” he stars as an HIV-positive Dallas man who smuggles alternative medicine. It could be the apogee of McConaughey’s recent streak. CHIWETEL EJIOFOR – The British actor’s lead performance in “12 Years a Slave” as a free black man with a family in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., sold into slavery in Louisiana, is a hugely powerful portrait of undefeated dignity. SANDRA BULLOCK – There are two on-screen actors in Alfonso Cuaron’s space thriller “Gravity”: George Clooney and Bullock. In zero gravity, Bullock grounds the film in one of the finest, least-adorned performances of her career. OSCAR ISAAC – Though little known, Isaac landed the lead part in the Coen brothers’ Greenwich village folk revival “Inside Llewyn Davis.” In a film about an early `60s musician always narrowly missing his breakthrough, Isaac’s own big break is assured. He also flawlessly sings and performs several folk ballads in the film. BARKHAD ABDI – Tom Hanks’ lead performance in “Captain Phillips” will rightly be hailed and almost certainly land him another Oscar nomination. But it wouldn’t work if he didn’t have a foil. In Paul Greengrass’s docudrama of a cargo ship taken by Somali pirates, Abdi plays Muse, the pirate leader who nicknames Hanks’ captain “Irish.” It’s the first

film for the Minneapolis man. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH – The actor many know as Sherlock has no less than four major films this fall: “The Fifth Estate,” as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange; “12 Years a Slave,” as a slightly benevolent slave owner; “August: Osage County,” as Margo Martindale’s son; and “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” as the titular dragon. Particularly remarkable is his precise portrayal of Assange. BRUCE DERN – It’s been years since the 77-year-old actor starred in a film, a chance Alexander Payne gave Dern for “Nebraska,” a black-and-white road trip of father and son (Will Forte). In it, the loquacious Dern turns taciturn as an alcoholic but spirited veteran. ROBERT REDFORD – If you thought the Sundance Kid didn’t say much, Redford is entirely mum in director J.C. Chandor’s “All Is Lost.” Redford is utterly alone on screen in the tale of a man adrift in the Indian Ocean. DANIEL BRUHL – The German actor has had parts here and there: “Inglourious Basterds,” “The Bourne Ultimatum.” But this fall, he makes a big impression in starring roles in two films. In “Rush,” he plays the analytical Austrian Formula One driver Niki Lauda battling his rival, the British playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth). He’s also the more level head in “The Fifth Estate” as Daniel DomscheitBerg, the early collaborator and eventual foe of Assange. WILL FERRELL – No, Ron Burgundy is not the kind of role that usually lands on lists like this. But who would argue that Ferrell’s 1970s TV newsman (now transitioning into the `80s in “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues”) isn’t one of the greatest comic creations of the last decade? The mustachioed deserve kudos, too.

Backstreet Boys reunion release disappoints Shawnee Moran A&E WRITER

After seeing ‘N Sync reunite and perform at the MTV Video Music Awards, I began to wonder what another favorite ‘90s boy band, the Backstreet Boys, was up to. To my surprise, the Backstreet Boys actually have several recent albums; their latest album, “In a World Like This,” was released in late July. I was excited to stumble upon this album and see how this beloved boy band had grown up. However, after hearing a few of the tracks, my excitement turned to disappointment. It’s hard for me to believe that this boy band could go from such catchy, wonderful hits, such as “I Want it That Way” and “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” to such forgettable, dull tracks. “In a World Like This” attempts to show fans how members of the band now act their age with a more mature sound, but this album ultimately fails at capturing the audience’s attention. Most of the songs in this album are, well, boring. It’s not that these

songs are bad by any means, but they are easily forgettable. The songs are great to listen to if you want to hear the new tone the Backstreet Boys are going for, but I don’t see any big hits coming from this album. “Love Somebody” is without a doubt one of the worst songs of the album. Before you’re even a minute into the song, you’ll want to skip to the next track. This song is weirdly upbeat and has some very strange lyrics accompanying it, such as, “You’re the reason the cave men drew on the wall/ Why after every summer we fall.” Simply put, this song is a train wreck. “One Phone Call” is almost equally as bad. The actual music isn’t horrible, but the lyrics, once again, ruin this song. The Backstreet Boys, for some reason, decided to run with an old prison metaphor and tried to twist it into a love song. It didn’t work. However, there are a few good songs on the album that save it from flopping completely. The best songs of the album, that are few and far in between, include “Show ‘Em What You’re

Made Of ” and “Trust Me.” “Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of ” definitely captures the old Backstreet Boys feel. This song is slower and showcases the band’s beautiful harmonies in the chorus, while maintaining the “grownup” feel they were aiming for. This song reminds me of their popular 1997 hit, “As Long As You Love Me.” “Trust Me” is probably my favorite track of the album. This upbeat song has a summer time vibe. It’s the kind of song that you’ll want to play in your car with the windows down. This song makes up

for most of the lackluster songs on the album. All in all, this is a decent album. I wouldn’t recommend buying it, but it is definitely worth listening to on Spotify if you have the extra time. Worst songs of the album: “One Phone Call” and “Love Somebody” Best songs of the album: “Show ‘Em What You’re Made of ” and “Trust Me” Honorable mention: “Try”

Editorial

Red solo cup: watch who fills it up This weekend will be large on many counts: Saturday marks the first West Virginia University football game of the season, and Labor Day gives students an extended weekend. These are ingredients for what will surely be a huge party weekend, especially if the Mountaineers win against William & Mary. And even if we lose, there’s still reason to blow off some steam. It’s only natural that so many students from so many different backgrounds would come together to celebrate in a variety of ways, most with loud music and booze. However, The Daily Athenaeum reminds you to stay safe during your adventures. If you go to a party, make sure you know the person who is hosting it. If it’s someone who is a friend of a friend, try to get together a group of people to all go together. Never go into a party full of absolute strangers. When you’re walking to

said party, stay with your friends, especially late at night. Drunken males and females have been known to heckle stragglers. If someone does call out to you, ignore them and keep going. While at this wild and crazy party, keep in contact with someone you know. If they walk off to mingle, make sure you coordinate a time and place to meet back up. And always, always watch your drink. Whether you brought it yourself or you got a cup at the house, don’t set it down and don’t hold it away from your body. If you suspect at all someone has touched your drink, pour it out. Even if there is most of the drink left, it’s not worth the risk. If house parties aren’t your thing and you’re more into the bar scene, you still need to be conscious of your surroundings. During the week, the bars in Morgantown normally quiet down but at the end of the week, they get packed to the walls. First rule of thumb: if

someone, male or female, offers to buy you a drink, walk with them to receive it. Never accept anything someone hands to you. And if possible, watch the drink as it’s being made, especially if something is being mixed under the counter. Never be afraid to ask to have a drink remade if you suspect something was slipped into it – within reason, of course. It’s no secret that drugs are fairly rampant in Morgantown, despite the best efforts of the police department. Be mindful of what’s going on at parties and even in bar bathrooms. If you suspect someone is taking drugs, remove yourself from the situation. If that’s unavoidable, just remember: never, ever accept drugs from anyone you don’t fully trust. College is a stressful time and going to parties or out to bars is a great way to relieve stress. Just be safe and responsible. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Students should be mindful of where they leave their drinks.

op-ed commentary

A time and place for every meaningful controversy Molly Robinson Opinion Editor

I made the mistake of logging onto Facebook the night after the VMAs to find that most of my friends were talking about the recent Miley Cyrus controversy. And, if they weren’t sharing their thoughts on Miley’s on-stage gyrating, they were being cynical and complaining that our nation was focusing more on what a young pop star did with her tongue than on the civil war currently going on in Syria. The discrepancy between the two “break-

ing news” stories actually says a lot about our country. While as scandalous as those pigtail buns were, there are more important events occurring a world over that we as Americans cannot seem to take the same interest in. Instead of bemoaning where our world is headed like many of my irritated friends on Facebook, I think there’s something to be said for the relevancy we as a nation feel toward something that happens on our own turf than an issue across the world – even something as devastating as the war currently raging through Syria. Truth be told, there is a lightheartedness, a cer-

tain small-town gossip mill that churns to life when we compare the bottom of an apple to Miley’s own rear or talk about Will Smith’s family’s reaction to the whole ordeal than when we have to sit down and prepare ourselves for a serious conversation about the problems ripping countries apart. The Miley issue – if it can even be called that – is something much more understandable than the complexities surrounding Syria, and thus it is what we choose to talk about on Facebook. Yes, the problems Syria and associated countries now face are certainly devastating. But there is a feel-

ing permeating the nation that we cannot do anything about it. Meanwhile, we can bash so-and-so for wearing something weird on the red carpet or shoot down a particularly awful musical performance all we want. There is a shallowness to this preoccupation, certainly, but it is preferable compared to the monstrosities that are happening across the pond. I don’t blame those who choose to focus their interests away from the scope of a country that, honestly, I couldn’t locate on a map. That does not mean that what happens in Syria, or anywhere else, is by any means unimportant,

it just means that some people choose not to concern themselves with it, and that is not something we should hold against them. There are those who are inclined to become riled up and impassioned about the monstrosities occurring in other countries, and there are those who concern themselves more with simpler, hometown issues. Both deserve our attention, and no one should feel the need to put down anyone else for their concern for either subject. Instead, let’s let bygones be bygones; there’s no need for the hate permeating my Facebook feed right

now like some strange Internet gang war between team VMA and team Syria. This is not a competition to see which issue is most important, because in a weird way they both are. While we’re too busy caring about what everyone else is caring about, and debating on what we should all be debating about, Syria is still in uproar and Miley is still a hot mess. Focus not on what your peers are interested in but on what you can do to help whatever issue you’re currently concerned about – even if it’s something you saw on MTV. molly.robinson@mail.wvu.edu

U.S. Justice Department gives green light on marijuana use Washington — Despite 75 years of federal marijuana prohibition, the Justice Department said Thursday that states can let people use the drug, license people to grow it and even allow adults to stroll into stores and buy it – as long as the weed is kept away from kids, the black market and federal property. In a sweeping new policy statement prompted by pot legalization votes in Washington and Colorado last fall, the department gave the green light to states to adopt tight regulatory schemes to oversee the medical and recreational marijuana industries burgeoning across the country. The action, welcomed by supporters of legalization, could set the stage for more states to legalize marijuana. Alaska is scheduled to vote on the question next year, and a few other states plan similar votes in 2016. The policy change embraces what Justice Department officials called a “trust but verify” approach between the federal government and states that enact recreational drug use. In a memo to all 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country, Deputy Attorney General James Cole

said the federal government expects that states and local governments authorizing “marijuana-related conduct” will implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that address the threat those state laws could pose to public health and safety. “If state enforcement efforts are not sufficiently robust ... the federal government may seek to challenge the regulatory structure itself,” the memo stated. States must ensure “that they do not undermine federal enforcement priorities,” it added. The U.S. attorney in Colorado, John Walsh, said he will continue to focus on whether Colorado’s system has the resources and tools necessary to protect key federal public safety interests. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said the state is working to improve education and prevention efforts directed at young people and on enforcement tools to prevent access to marijuana by those under age 21. Colorado also is determined to keep marijuana businesses from being fronts for criminal enterprises or other illegal activity, he said, and the state is committed to preventing the export of mari-

juana while also enhancing efforts to keep state roads safe from impaired drivers. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee also laid out guidelines for mar ijuana entrepreneurs. “If you don’t sell this product to children, if you keep violent crime away from your business, if you pay your taxes and you don’t use this as a front for illicit activity, we’re going to be able to move forward,” Inslee said. Under the new federal policy, the government’s top investigative priorities range from preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors to preventing sales revenue from going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels and preventing the diversion of marijuana outside of states where it is legal. Other top-priority enforcement areas include stopping state-authorized marijuana activity from being used as a cover for trafficking other illegal drugs and preventing violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of marijuana. The top areas also include preventing drugged driving, preventing marijuana cultivation and possession on federal property. The Justice Department memo says it will take a

broad view of the federal priorities. For example, in preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors, enforcement could take place when marijuana trafficking takes place near an area associated with minors, or when marijuana is marketed in an appealing manner to minors or diverted to minors. Following the votes in Colorado and Washington last year, Attorney General Eric Holder launched a review of marijuana enforcement policy that included an examination of the two states. The issue was whether they should be blocked from operating marijuana markets on the grounds that actively regulating an illegal substance conflicts with federal drug law that bans it. Peter Bensinger, a former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said the conflict between federal and state law is clear and can’t be reconciled. Federal law is paramount, and Holder is “not only abandoning the law, he’s breaking the law. He’s not only shirking his duty, he’s not living up to his oath of office,” Bensinger said. Last December, President Barack Obama said it doesn’t make sense for the federal government to go

after recreational drug users in a state that has legalized marijuana. Last week, the White House said that prosecution of drug traffickers remains an important priority. A Pew Research Center poll in March found that 60 percent of Americans think the federal government shouldn’t enforce federal anti-marijuana laws in states where its use has been approved. Younger people, who tend to vote more Democratic, are especially prone to that view. But opponents are worried these moves will lead to more use by young people. Colorado and Washington were states that helped reelect Obama. Advocates of medical marijuana were cautious about the new policy. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws that effectively allow patients to access and use medical marijuana. Threats of criminal prosecution and asset forfeiture by U.S. attorneys have closed more than 600 dispensaries in California, Colorado and Washington over the past two years, said Americans for Safe Access, which advocates for safe and legal access to therapeutic cannabis. Dan Riffle of the Marijuana Policy Project, the

nation’s largest marijuana policy organization, called the policy change “a major and historic step toward ending marijuana prohibition” and “a clear signal that states are free to determine their own policies.” Kevin Sabet, the director of Project Smart Approaches to Marijuana, an anti-legalization group, predicted the new Justice Department policy will accelerate a national discussion about legalization because people will see its harms – including more drugged driving and higher high school dropout rates. Kristi Kelly, a co-founder of three medical marijuana shops near Denver, said the Justice Department’s action is a step in the right direction. “We’ve been operating in a gray area for a long time. We’re looking for some sort of concrete assurances that this industry is viable,” she said. A national trade group, the National Cannabis Industry Association, said it hopes steps will be taken to allow marijuana establishments access to banking services. Federally insured banks are barred from taking money from marijuana businesses because the drug is still banned by the federal government.

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you will see a big difference in what occurs between you and others. You will make a new friend who will be more receptive to you. If you are single, meeting someone through this person’s circle of friends could prove to be significant to your life history.

CANCER is a loyal friend. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Stay focused. Keep the lines of communication open, but choose to discuss only what’s necessary.

future. Once one individual opens up, others will follow suit. Tonight: Go with the flow. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Though you might be out of sorts at first, know that what you’re looking for is readily accessible. Open up talks with a loved one. You might be surprised by what you hear, given that you might not be around your family as much as you might like. Tonight: Hang out with friends. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Curb a need to be possessive, and simply trust what is going on. Be willing to express your thoughts and find out where a friend is coming from. You might discover that you are spending too much money. Still, use your judgment. Tonight: It is OK if someone else wants to treat.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You might want to relax and let go, but a surprise visit from a superior or friend will set the pace of your day. In fact, you might not realize how essential you are to others right now. People feel as if they need you. Be gracious. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend well. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Understand that you can’t control issues or people. You can control only yourself and your responses. Others can choose to do whatever they want. By withdrawing and allowing others to make their own choices, in time, there will be a better rapport. Tonight: Follow suggestions. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH With as many people as there are seeking you out, it will be almost unbelievable that you are choosing to

some great music to escape from the here and now. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Others will make an effort to influence an important matter involving your finances. Honor what is going on, as it only can benefit you. If you keep feeling doubtful, know that it comes from within yourself and not from the other parties involved. Tonight: Dinner with a loved one. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Listen to news that is forthcoming, and be aware that everyone has a different perspective. An important offer or request might be woven into a conversation. Understand that what you see evolving could offer a positive outcome. Tonight: Be around those you most enjoy. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

HHHH Honor who you are throughout the day. Sometimes you might be so quick to give a knee-jerk reaction that others could be put off. Express your authenticity more often, and resist getting tied up in an intense, fast pace when possible. Tonight: Spend some time with friends. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might want to see a personal matter in a different light, and you will ... once you stop reacting. Others could offer different perspectives that might prove helpful. Many more doors will open as a result, and you will be happier. Tonight: Be creative when coming up with plans.

Wednesday night at 123 Pleasant Street, people came out not to rock but to partake in some seriously catchy electronic dance music. The two acts sharing the stage were Cupcake and the Professor and Cosby Sweater. Each brought their own unique twist on the varied pallet of dance music. After a bit of a late start, Cupcake and the Professor, a duo from West Virginia, played a minimalist yet satisfying set of drawn back electronic tunes. With only a DJ and a vocalist, the setup was minimalist, as well. “The Professor” laid down tracks filled with bass rattling goodness and some reggae-like rhythmic hits, though he also occasionally picked up his bass; however, he was most impressive while showing off his insane beatboxing skills. Ezra “Cupcake,” the vocalist, worked the crowd fairly well, often going back and forth almost in conversation with the audience. He sang mid-range melodies steeped in the echo effect that is often utilized for reggae vocals. He did all this while wearing a brightly colored cupcake backpack that stayed on the whole night. With a pretty full house, they got the dancing going in full swing. They certainly know how to work a 123 crowd. The two met at this fateful venue when Cupcake and the Professor was created at an open mic night. “123 is our home,” Ezra said. “He (The Professor)

was just doing his own thing with beatboxing, and he was just asking if anyone was a singer in the house. I was real messed up, so I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll sing,’ and it just kind of took off from there.” Next up on the bill was live electronic setup Cosby Sweater. Fresh off a big year in 2012 that saw them release their first full-length album, “Hey Girl Hey,” and play with international act Pretty Lights, the Indianapolis group consists of a saxophonist, a drummer and a DJ/vocalist. Together they deploy some dangerously infectious tracks. Though they are very much the creators of their own sound, it’s safe to say that if you are a fan of Daft Punk it is very likely you would have enjoyed Cosby Sweater’s set. This group’s strength is in their versatility. Their originals ranged from incredibly high-energy tunes laced with twinkling synth sounds that pulsed forward with as much dance-ability as any popular electronic artist out there, to more groove conscious tracks that showcase the talent of saxophonist Nicolas Gerlach as he riffed over the chill layers of sound. Their songs seemed more ambitious than most electronic acts, taking the listener somewhere specific rather than constantly looping what they like. It shows a penchant for song writing that many don’t often recognize in this type of music. Thanks to this, Cosby Sweater kept the dance party going well into the night.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Inside the massive complex on the Las Vegas Strip that houses the glitzy Venetian casino and Sands convention center, amid a soundscape of conflicting noises, thousands of players are mashing buttons while staring intently at flickering screens. They’re not playing slots or video poker. No, they’re trying their hand at upcoming games such as “Titanfall” and “Ryse.” This is the GameStop Expo. The world’s largest video game retailer first organized the gathering of its most passionate customers last year during its annual meeting of store managers. While the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles is no longer open to the public, the GameStop Expo offers everyday gamers a chance to preview upcoming titles and hardware. The expo’s more than 5,000 attendees waited in snaking lines inside a cavernous Sands Expo hall early Wednesday to testdrive Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4, the next-generation systems due out this November. “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” “Titanfall,” “Ryse: Son of Rome” and “Battlefield 4” were among the most popular games on display. “I’m here to see and play all the next-gen consoles and games for myself,” said Shawn Smoak, a 22-year-old self-professed “Sony fanboy,” while waiting to try out “Titanfall.” “You can read everything you possibly can about them online, but until you actually get your hands on the controller, you don’t really know anything. That’s what this is all about.” Along with providing glimpses of such upcoming games as “Batman: Arkham Origins” and “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag,” the expo also included panels, giveaways,

photo booths, costume contests and free chocolate ice cream dispensed from a truck promoting the “South Park: The Stick of Truth” game. The event was just part of GameStop’s purpose in Vegas. Beyond the expo hall in meeting rooms at the Venetian casino and Sands convention center, more than 5,000 managers from company’s nearly 4,500 stores in the U.S. spent three days learning all about how to sell new games and hardware to customers like those at its expo. The retailer currently boasts about 25 million members in its PowerUp Rewards program. GameStop launched the gamer gathering last year after the Grapevine, Texas-based company’s international divisions successfully hosted their own events. (Last year’s EB Games Expo in Australia welcomed more than 30,000 attendees.) Admission for Wednesday’s event ranged from $20 for student tickets to $100 for VIP access that included early entry. “We didn’t want to be in the live events business,” said GameStop CEO Paul Raines. “This was something that was pulled out of us. The customers wanted it. The PowerUp Rewards community was asking for us to give them an opportunity to see new products and games. People love it because this is the only place where they can play `Titanfall’ right now.” Raines declined to release pre-order sales data, but he expects this holiday season’s console launches to be the biggest in history and provide some much-needed luck to both GameStop and the gaming industry, which has seen sales slide in recent years as Microsoft Corp.’s 7-yearold Xbox 360 and Sony Corp.’s 6-year-old PlayStation 3 have entered their twilight years.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen and cornerback Ishmael Banks won’t be holding anything back against William & Mary Saturday.

Despite facing FCS opponent, Holgorsen and WVU will look to fire on all cylinders in Week 1 by connor murray associate sports editor

It’s that time of year again. Since the college football season officially kicked off Thursday night, the time for preseason hype and conjecture is over. When kickoff time rolls around for West Virginia and William & Mary, it will officially be time to move on from 2012 and focus on the task at hand: improving on what was a disappointing season for both teams. West Virginia will take the field Saturday with a completely new identity. On offense, junior Paul Millard and redshirt ju-

nior Clint Trickett were so evenly matched in fall camp that they will split the snaps at quarterback for the time being. For one of these signal callers to step up and take full control of the job, minimizing turnovers and making good decisions will be paramount. “The guy that we’re going to give the most reps to is going to take care of the ball and make good decisions about handoffs, interceptions and all of that,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. “They have to take care of the ball and minimize the negative situations, such as

turnovers and giveaways.” While splitting time between two or even three quarterbacks, redshirt freshman Ford Childress may be called upon this season, as well. While it may not seem like an ideal situation, it is the hand the Mountaineers were dealt. “We don’t live in a perfect world. Would I rather have a three-year starter returning at quarterback? Yeah,” Holgorsen said. “It’s college football, and graduations (happen). That opens the door for the next star to be born. You lose a couple tremendous guys, but that opens up the door for some other guys to get

some snaps in and make some tremendous plays, too.” Although William & Mary, an FCS team who finished 2-9 in 2012, may seem to present an opportunity for a cakewalk in Week 1, the Tribe has several playmakers on offense who could present problems for WVU. “They like to run the ball a lot. They have some good wide receivers on the outside. They also have a lot of discipline,” said redshirt junior cornerback Ishmael Banks. One receiver in particular, junior Tre McBride has the Mountaineers’ defense

on alert. McBride caught 55 passes for 897 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2012. “He is very athletic. He runs routes very well, and he is pretty physical too. It’s going to be a good matchup,” Banks said. After eight months of waiting, the Mountaineers get to suit up against a live opponent, rather than running through drills or watching film. “We’re tired of practicing against each other. We’re tired of doing offense and defense against each other,” Holgorsen said. “It’s time to focus on somebody else, regardless of who that is, and we

should be excited to play.” With a big test looming Sept. 7 when the Mountaineers travel to Norman to take on Oklahoma, there could be the temptation for West Virginia to take its foot off the gas and take William & Mary lightly. “I’m for whatever we have to do to move the ball forward. We’re doing whatever we’ve got to do to stop the opposing team from moving the ball,” Holgorsen said. “If that means putting your best foot forward, then I highly recommend putting your best foot forward.” connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers ranked No. 1 in CRCA preseason poll by amit batra sports editor

Earlier this week, the West Virginia University rifle team was given the No. 1 ranking in the Preseason College Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) Top 20 Poll. The Mountaineers, the defending national champions, claimed 12 of the poll’s 16 first-place votes. Following the program’s 15th national championship and a No. 1 ranking to end the season, the preseason ranking came as no surprise to West Virginia. Eighth year head coach Jon Hammond was pleased to see the preseason recognition following another successful campaign in 2012. “It’s nice to have this recognition going into a new season,” Hammond said, following the release of the poll. “We lost a world-class shooter in (graduate) Petra (Zublasing), but we still have a great core that returns this year, and we

will field a team that has a lot of experience.” Zublasing’s skill and ability will certainly be missed by Hammond and staff, but he will have a lot of talent returning. Five shooters with experience competing for a national championship will return for Hammond in juniors Taylor Ciotola, Meelis Kiisk, Thomas Kyanko, Maren Prediger and sophomore Garrett Spurgeon. All five shooters earned recognition by the National Rifle Association (NRA) a sea-

son ago for their efforts. Each of them earned All-American honors in 2012, and all but Kyanko earned a first-team recognition. Other Mountaineers set to return are NRA All-America award winners Chance Cover (senior), Patrick Sunderman (sophomore) and senior Daniel Sojka. West Virginia went 11-1 on its way to another national championship and Great American Rifle Conference title. As a team, records were set

in smallbore and air rifle and also as a team in the NCAA championships last season. Hammond, while appreciative of the top ranking, said he understands that a new season offers many challenges, so the team will have to work hard collectively. “While we appreciate this recognition from our peers, this team must be conscious of the fact that this is a new season, and we’re going to have to work hard to maintain that ranking and to im-

prove as a team,” he said. “I like starting the season at No. 1, but we’re prepared to work hard, too.” Kentucky, the national runner-up last season, comes in at No. 2 in the poll, while Alaska-Fairbanks, 2012 Na-

tional Champion TCU and Army round out the top 5. Nebraska, Air Force, Jacksonville State, Murray State and Ohio State finish out the top 10. amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

Cross country to open season Saturday by jon fehrens sports writer

Recently, the West Virginia University cross country team was slated to finish No. 5 in the Mid-Atlantic region by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Head coach Sean Cleary agreed with the prediction, as he said it was an accurate reflection of his team. Tuesday, the USTFCCCA gave West

Virginia the No. 29 spot in the 2013 Preseason National Coaches poll. This is the sixth consecutive year the team has held a top 30spot in the preseason poll. “Preseason rankings are difficult to gauge. There are so many unknown factors associated with early season predictions. Time will tell how accurate they prove to be,” Cleary said. With the rankings behind them, Cleary and his team shift focus to

the first action of the season in Bethlehem, Pa., for the annual Lehigh Invitational. While the first competition of the season is always exciting for the team,Saturday means a little more to two-time All-American junior Kaitlyn Gillespie, who sees her first action in more than18 months. “Racing will be interesting for me this year since I have not competed in over a year and a half. It will be

a little nerve-racking, but I like to go out there, get comfortable and race. I love it.” Gillespie said. This weekend will not only mark the return of Gillespie, but it will be the first time Cleary gets to catch a glimpse of the future of his team. Cleary also said with his 10 new freshmen on the roster this year, they are one of the best teams in the country, top to bottom. With that said, he said he expects the new faces to be

GREG MADIA

able to make an impact this weekend. Look for sophomore Kelly Williams to be one of the young leaders that makes the jump and leads behind Gillespie in Bethlehem. Saturday officially kicks off the 2013 season for the WVU cross country team, and their next competition is set for Sept. 13 at Penn State for the PSU Spiked Shoe Invitational.

NFL commits $765 million to settle concussion lawsuits

Former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and a group of NFL players won a class action lawsuit against the league for concussion related brain injuries that resulted from on field injuries. sport. U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody in Philadelphia is expected to rule on the settlement in two to three months but said it “holds the prospect of avoiding lengthy, expensive and uncertain litigation, and of enhancing the game of football.” More than 4,500 former players, some of them suffering from depression or dementia, accused the NFL of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions and rushing injured players back onto the field, while glorifying and profiting from the bone-crushing hits that were often glorified in slow motion on NFL Films. “Football has been my

life and football has been kind to me,” said former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett, one of at least 10 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who filed suit since 2011. “But when I signed up for this, I didn’t know some of the repercussions. I did know I could get injured, but I didn’t know about my head or the trauma or the things that could happen to me later on in life.” The settlement applies to all 18,000 past NFL players and spouses of those who are deceased – a group that could total more than 20,000 – and will cost the league $765 million, the vast majority of which would go to compensate athletes with

certain neurological ailments, plus plaintiffs’ attorney fees. It sets aside $75 million for medical exams and $10 million for medical research. In d i v i d u a l payou t s would be capped at $5 million for men with Alzheimer’s disease; $4 million for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia, said lead plaintiffs’ lawyer Christopher Seeger. The settlement does not include an admission from the NFL that it hid information from players about head injuries. Commissioner Roger Goodell told pro football’s law-

WVU will exceed expectations this year

dasports@mail.wvu.edu

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The NFL agreed to pay more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related brain disorders they say were caused by the very onfield violence that fueled the game’s rise to popularity and profit. The class-action settlement, unprecedented in sports, was announced Thursday after two months of court-ordered mediation and is subject to approval by a federal judge. It came exactly a week before the first game of the 2013 season, removing a major legal and financial threat hanging over the

MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

yers to “do the right thing for the game and the men who played it,” according to a statement by the league. Goodell was not made available for comment. The NFL has annual revenue of about $9 billion. In addition to Dorsett, the plaintiffs include Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon, who suffers from dementia; former running back Kevin Turner, who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease; and the family of AllPro selection Junior Seau, who committed suicide last year. Turner, who played for the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, predicted that most of his peers would support the settlement. “Chances are ... I won’t make it to 50 or 60,” said Turner, now 44. “I have money now to put back for my children to go to college and for a little something to be there financially.” All former NFL players are eligible to seek care, screening or compensation, whether they suffered a documented concussion or not. The amounts they receive will be based on their age, condition and years of play. They do not need to prove that their health problems are connected to playing football. Players’ lawyers said they expect the fund to cover the ex-athletes’ expenses up to age 65. Current players are not covered. If the settlement holds, the NFL won’t have to disclose internal files that might reveal what it knew, and when, about concussion-linked brain problems. “I think it’s more important that the players have finality, that they’re vindicated, and that as soon as the court approves the settlement they can begin to get screening, and those that are injured can get their compensation. I think that’s more important than looking at some documents,” said lawyer Sol Weiss of Philadelphia, who filed the first lawsuit on behalf of former Atlanta Falcon Ray Easterling and a few others. Easterling later committed suicide. Sports law experts had thought the lawsuits might cost the league $1 billion or more if they

When West Virginia takes the field Saturday against William & Mary, many believe that the game will provide WVU with one of its few wins of 2013. Picked to finish No. 8 in the preseason Big 12 media poll, West Virginia is supposed to take a step back after failing to live up to higher expectations in 2012. Unlike most, I believe this team takes a step forward in year two of playing in the Big 12 Conference. There are internal and external reasons why WVU can exceed expectations. Throughout fall camp, no appearance of complacency was evident. Position battles and competition bettered the roster as a whole. Players had reasons to practice hard and better themselves which strengthened the team. Depth at running back only makes head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense better. If Holgorsen has a fluid run game this season, it will make a massive difference. In 2012, for games in which WVU had multiple backs rush for more than 50 yards, it was 3-0. Forgames in which it had one or no running backs rush for more than 50 yards, West Virginia was 4-6. This year WVU maintains a backfield that will allow for the team to see multiple 50-plus yard rushers week in and week out. Transfer Charles Sims and freshman Wendell Smallwood are two runners who can carry the load, and in turn, make Dreamius Smith and Dustin Garrison more efficient with limited touches. All of a sudden, opposing defenses have to respect the run game, something that clearly wasn’t respected in the 2012 season until Holgorsen put Tavon Austin in the backfield. With a good run game, Holgorsen’s first-year starting quarterback in either Clint Trickett or Paul Millard will have an opened-up passing game sure to highlight the skills of receivers Ivan McCartney, Daikiel Shorts and KJ Myers. Having a run game also keeps the ball out of opposing offenses’ hands which is huge for a defense that finished last or near last in every major statistical category. Defensively, it can only get better, and first year defensive coordinator Keith Patterson has emphasized a multiple look, attacking defense. What that means is WVU will play more base defenses like the 3-4, 3-3-5 and 4-3 as opposed to doing more within one of those schemes. Simplistic concepts of sticking in a base defense increase the likelihood of players understanding what they have to do. By giving control of the defense to Patterson, WVU will get better. The Big 12 Conference as a whole lost a lot from the 2012 season. It is still comprised of good teams, but a league without great ones. Because of that, it is realistic to think that West Virginia can play with the teams in the Big 12 despite the fact that the Mountaineers don’t have the star power they had last year. Not many Big 12 programs hold the star power that they held last season. Gone is Collin Klein of Kansas State, Landry Jones of Oklahoma, and Nick Florence of Baylor. Who’s to say that WVU’s new talent can’t compete with Oklahoma’s new talent or Texas’s talent? I’m on the side that leans more toward believing West Virginia can compete. As for my prediction, WVU reaches the seven-win mark with victories against William & Mary, Georgia State, Maryland, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Kansas and Iowa State. It could even get to eight wins by stealing away a victory from either a sleeping Oklahoma in Week 2 or a Texas team at the end of the year looking ahead toward a national title run.

US to return to World Cup qualifying Mets’ Wright ramps up rehab in Fla.

Landon Donovan and the US Men’s National Team return to World Cup qualifying Thursday. CHICAGO (AP) — With Landon Donovan back in the fold, the U.S. resumes World Cup qualifying next week with its deepest team yet. Donovan was among 23 players selected Thursday by coach Jurgen Klinsmann for upcoming qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico. Klinsmann snubbed the Americans’ career scoring leader for the last round of qualifiers, saying Donovan needed to work his way back onto the team following his offseason sabbatical. But Donovan redeemed himself – and then some – with his play in last month’s Gold Cup, scoring five goals as the Americans won the title. He has continued his dazzling play with four goals in three games for the Los Angeles Galaxy, which on Wednesday rewarded him with a new, long-term contract. “He got himself back into the team during the Gold Cup,’’ Klinsmann said. “He did a wonderful job there.’’ While it’s hard to imagine a starting lineup without Donovan when the Americans resume qualifying at Costa Rica on Sept. 6, Klinsmann now has multiple options at almost every position. He used two almost completely different rosters for the last round of qualifiers and the Gold Cup, and the Americans responded with a record 12 straight wins. It is the longest streak in the world currently, and three shy of the record set by Spain in 2009. The winning streak,

and the depth behind it, has given the Americans a swagger normally reserved for European and South American teams. “We have a lot of respect for Costa Rica. (We) can expect a really very, very intense game, high-energy game,’’ Klinsmann said. “But I think we have the quality and the mindset to be confident enough to say, ‘We’re going to go there for three points.” “This is what we’re trying to build,’’ Klinsmann added. “More and more, this belief is getting bigger. It’s growing throughout the entire group. We’ve got a deeper roster now than ever before. Hopefully, we can take that mindset down to San Jose and win there for first time ever in World Cup qualifying.’’ In addition to Donovan, Klinsmann selected 11 players who were part of the Gold Cup winning squad: DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman, Alejandro Bedoya, Matt Besler, Edgar Castillo, Mix Diskerud, Omar Gonzalez, Eddie Johnson, Michael Orozco and Nick Rimando. He passed over Joe Corona and Sacha Kljestan, who were part of the squad for a come-from-behind victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina earlier this month. “It was not easy to make those decisions,’’ Klinsmann said. After playing at Costa Rica, the Americans return home to face archrival Mexico on Sept. 10 in Columbus, Ohio. The U.S. is atop the qualifying group from North and Central

America and the Caribbean region, leading Costa Rica by two points with Mexico five points back. The top three teams advance to next year’s World Cup in Brazil, with the fourth-place team going to a playoff with New Zealand, the Oceania winner. “If we’re able to get three points in San Jose next Friday, we’re almost there. We’re almost in Brazil,’’ Klinsmann said. ‘’I don’t want players to think, even for one second, about Mexico in Columbus. I want them to tune in to Costa Rica and give everything they have.’’ The roster: Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake); Defenders: DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City) John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Michael Orozco (Puebla); Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Roma), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Jermaine Jones (Schalke), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City); Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders FC).

NEW YORK (AP) — Four weeks after straining his right hamstring, David Wright is ready for the next step in his recovery. The All-Star third baseman was headed to the New York Mets’ complex in Florida Thursday, a day before the team begins a nine-game road trip. He said he feels fine swinging and fielding, but he’s not running full speed and isn’t ready for rehab games. Mets manager Terry Collins had said Wright might play in a minor league game this weekend. “Hopefully s o o n ,” Wright said. “I think I’m ahead of schedule.’’ After playing through nagging soreness in his hamstring for about a week, Wright was injured Aug. 2 while legging out an infield single. He said the medical staff has told him it’s a six-week injury, which would put him on track to return in mid-September. The Mets’ captain is determined to come back before the season ends because he doesn’t want to go into next year with any uncertainty about his health. But he wants to make sure he rehabs properly and heals completely so his hamstring doesn’t become a chronic problem. “I want to finish the season strong,’’ Wright said. “All signs are good. I haven’t had a single setback yet.’’ A seven-time All-Star, Wright is hitting .309 with 16 home runs and 54 RBIs. While the team was home,

he worked with the Mets’ medical staff at Citi Field. Now, he’ll report to Port St. Lucie, Fla. Philadelphia infielder Michael Young cautioned Wright this week against rushing back from a strained hamstring. Young said he did just that and got reinjured during the 2009 pennant race with Texas, costing him two more weeks. Wright said he appreciated the gesture. “Basically the cardinal rule I told him was – and this was told to me by other guys who had hamstring injuries – the second you think you’re ready to play, wait three more days,’’ Young said. “That way you know you’re ready.’’ It’s been a difficult month for Wright and the rebuilding Mets, who are 11-14 since his injury. All-Star ace Matt Harvey was diagnosed with a partially torn elbow ligament Monday and hopes to avoid Tommy John surgery. One day later, New York traded two of its top run producers (Marlon Byrd and John Buck) to Pittsburgh for a pair of prospects. “I think that the Matt Harvey situation obviously kind of blindsided everybody, as well as he’s been throwing the ball,’’ Wright said. “But I’ve done my rehab with him the last couple days and he’s in good spirits.’’ The 24-year-old Harvey has blossomed into one of baseball’s most dominant pitchers during his first full season in the majors. But

his injury jeopardizes New York’s aspirations of contending for a playoff spot next season. Tommy John surgery would likely sideline Harvey for all of 2014, though the right-hander tweeted Tuesday that he’ll be back on the mound next April. He was heartened after talking to other pitchers who had similar symptoms or injuries and didn’t require surgery, including Philadelphia right-hander Roy Halladay. The Mets said no decision will be made until Harvey is re-examined in a few weeks after the swelling subsides. “Hopefully, he can just rehab it. But if surgery is the option, then we’ve got to find a way,’’ Wright said. One reason Wright signed a $138 million, eight-year contract last winter was his faith in general manager Sandy Alderson and all the young power pitching the Mets have on the horizon. However, Harvey is a huge cornerstone. “I don’t think one injury that may or may not affect next year is going to affect the overall plan,’’ said the 30-year-old Wright. “With the money that we have coming off the books this year, I expect us to go out there and make this team better, whether it’s through free agency, whether it’s through trades. I still believe in the vision that Sandy has. “Hopefully, Matt’s back next year. But if not, I’m still confident in the plan,’’ he added.

worried about future problems and wanted their health monitored. “I’m relieved; I don’t know about pleased. There are probably too many details to work through that we don’t all understand yet, quite frankly. But I’m relieved that both sides came together to protect the game we all love and help the players of the past and tomorrow. And to especially help those who need help right now, who have cognitive issues and those whose quality of life has been taken away,” said Mark Rypien, the MVP of the 1992 Super Bowl for the Washington Redskins. He has dealt with depression and memory problems. “It’s a good day, because we’re getting help for those who need help,” Rypien said, “and a sad day, because we didn’t get this done earlier to help guys in the past.” Researchers at the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, who have been examining brains of deceased NFL players, praised the $10 million set aside for research. The lawsuits, along with a growing awareness that concussions can have serious long-term effects, have already spurred research into better helmets and changed the way the game is played. Helmet maker Riddell,

which was also sued, was not a party to the settlement. The company declined comment. The NFL has also instituted rule changes designed to eliminate hits to the head and neck, protect defenseless players, and prevent athletes who have had concussions from playing or practicing until they are fully recovered. Independent neurologists must be consulted before a player can return to action. One key rule change that takes effect this season bars ball carriers from using the crown of the helmet to make contact with defenders. “We thought it was critical to get more help to players and families who deserve it rather than spend many years and millions of dollars on litigation,” NFL Executive Vice President Jeffrey Pash Executive Vice President Jeffrey Pash said in a statement, the only comment issued by the league. “This is an important step that builds on the significant changes we’ve made in recent years to make the game safer.”

went to trial. The NFL had pushed for the claims to be heard in arbitration under terms of the players’ labor contract. The league had also argued that individual teams bear the chief responsibility for health and safety under the collective bargaining agreement, along with the players’ union and the players themselves. Dorsett said each day is getting harder for him, as he struggles with memory problems. “It’s frustrating. Frustrating. And to have a 10-year old daughter who says to her mother, ‘Daddy can’t do this because Daddy won’t remember how to do it,’ it’s not a good feeling,” he said. “I’m glad to see there’s been ... acknowledgment that football has had something to do with a lot of the issues us players are going through right now.” In recent years, a string of former NFL players and other athletes who suffered concussions have been diagnosed after their deaths with CTE, including both Seau and Easterling.

‘TEXAS GUNSLINGER’

Millard brings gunslinger mentality to West Virginia offense as Mountaineers set to take on Tribe by greg madia multimedia editor

West Virginia junior quarterback Paul Millard isn’t afraid to throw the football. During Millard’s senior year at Flower Mound High School in Texas, he completed 331 of 500 pass attempts. He threw for an astonishing 4,491 yards and 47 touchdowns in just 11 games as a senior. WVU offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson played an important role in helping head coach Dana Ho l g o r s e n bring the Texas gunslinger to Morgantown as their first

marquee commitment from the state of Texas in 2011. “(At) the high school I came from we threw it like 75 times a game,” Millard said. “When I was talking to Shannon (Dawson) while he was recruiting me, he told me he threw the ball 88 times in a game.” Millard committed and enrolled at WVU with the idea that he would throw the ball all over Mountaineer Field and take over once Geno Smith moved on to the NFL. “I came here to play football; I didn’t want to come to school here and not play. I’m a comp etitive guy; I signed up here to play football.

I came here wanting to play,” Millard said. In 2012 against Oklahoma State, Millard was rushed into the game on an important fourthand- 13 situation after Smith’s helmet popped off. Millard then threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Stedman Bailey through a tight window of defenders to keep West Virginia in the game – a shining moment for Millard. The problem for Millard is he hasn’t proven to the coaches or to anyone that he can craft his almost-reckless gunslinger mentality into an effective Big 12 gunslinger passer. He has been inconsistent through his small sample of playing time, throwing three interceptions and

three touchdowns. But that was Paul Millard as a backup. Saturday, Millard will play in a platoon role with Clint Trickett as Holgorsen figures out who his starter will be down the road. For someone who plays the game fearlessly, Millard knows he has to make the correct decision against William & Mary to get another chance against Oklahoma Sept. 7. “I think with me it was all about making the right decisions. Getting the ball where they want to see the ball go – that was one thing I came into fall camp wanting to do,” Millard said. “ I ’v e done a

better job of that as camp went on, and hopefully it continues.” Maybe that’s where Millard’s fearless mentality of throwing the ball all over the field comes from. What will enable Millard to take over as the fulltime quarterback is protection of the football. “The guy we’re eventually going to give the most reps to is the guy that takes care of the ball,” Holgorsen said. “They have to take care of the ball, and they have to minimize the nega t i v e things that are n e g ative plays and

turnovers.” Millard knows that, and even though he’s i m p rov e d h i s a r m strength and accuracy, it comes down to his decision- making. “Being here for two years under Dana’s offense and really knowing what they expect of me, that’s something I’ve gotten a better grasp of,” Millard said. When asked about his gunslinger mentality or persona, Millard had a simple reply. “I think I still am a gunslinger, but I don’t know, man, that’s for you guys to call,” he said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Junior Paul Millard could see his first starting opportunity as West Virginia quarterback Saturday against William & Mary.

WVU, Holgorsen expect challenge with upset-minded Tribe by doug walp sports writer

The Mountaineers finally kick off the 2013 season against William & Mary Saturday. The Tribe finished 2-9 in 2012 in the Colonial Athletic Association, a conference of the FCS division, but William & Mary’s 2012 record or their status as an FCS team won’t have any effect on West Virginia’s preparation for its season opener. “You can’t overlook them or anyone else in that conference,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “(In 2012) William & Mary almost beat Maryland, and (in 2011) they beat the University of Virginia. It goes on and on. “Do we want to be the next ones on that list? I don’t think so. We want to take these guys seriously. We should be excited to play – it doesn’t matter who we play. We’re tired of practicing against each other. It’s time to focus on somebody else, regard-

less of who that is, and we should be excited to play.” The Mountaineers are 3-0 for the last three seasons against FCS level teams, with wins against Coastal Carolina, Norfolk State and James Madison. But despite beating the Dukes of James Madison 42-12 at Fed Ex Field in Landover, Md., in 2012, some players have said that the Mountaineers actually didn’t prepare as seriously as they should have for the less touted opponent. “I’ll be honest, (2012) we probably took James Madison a little too lightly,” said junior linebacker Jared Barber. “I mean, obviously we came out with a win but we definitely could have prepared better for them. “But this year we know that it’s the first game, so really we’re taking this game as if we’re playing Oklahoma or Texas – I mean it’s the first game to set the tempo, set the tone in a season where not many people have any

high hopes for us. So we’re just taking this as showing people we’re here to play.” West Virginia also finds itself in somewhat unfamiliar territory, as it heads into its season opener for the first time in the Dana Holgorsen era without a true starting quarterback. Junior Paul Millard and recent transfer and redshirt junior Clint Trickett are still only separated by an “OR” on the Mountaineers latest depth chart, so the William & Mary game could act as a sort of extended tryout for the two hopeful starters. West Virginia also has a number of true freshmen who will be playing their first collegiate snaps Saturday against the Tribe. Senior linebacker Doug Rigg, one of the most experienced members on the Mountaineers in 2013, said the key to playing an FCS team like William & Mary is simply to prepare the same way, and perhaps even more importantly, to make sure underclassmen don’t overlook the Tribe

because they’re not as notorious as some of the mega programs the Mountaineers will face later in Big 12 Conference play. In fact, Rigg said this is one of the single biggest challenges of moving up to the collegiate level; players simply can’t look past anybody, even if one of the most difficult matchups of the season awaits them in Week 2. “Anything can happen in college football. That’s the biggest adjustment coming from high school,” Rigg said. “In high school you can play a team and you know no matter how bad you play, you’re going to win. And in this league, you can’t do that. You’ve got to come out ready to play every single game, and the coaches have done a good job stressing that and the seniors need to stress that, too. “It can happen to anybody and we don’t want to be the school it happens to.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

bIG 12 NOTEBOOK

TCU to play two quarterbacks against LSU Saturday by greg MADIA multimedia editor

No. 20 TCU Rolling with Two QBs vs. No. 12 LSU TCU head coach Gary Patterson will play both quarterbacks Trevone Boykin and Casey Pachall in the Horned Frogs’ marquee matchup against LSU Saturday night. Patterson said he believes playing Pachall, a pro-style quarterback, and Boykin, a dual-threat thrower, will give TCU a better chance to win. Patterson doesn’t need

to name one of them the starter because they both have proven talent. “I think I can win with both of them in games. Trevone has really improved what he could do and has a different skill set. Casey’s really improved from the spring, where he was a bit rusty,” Patterson said. “So, the difference between me and other coaches that have to select quarterbacks is that they’re trying to figure out who their start is when I know I have two guys that can win games.” In the m a rq u e e

matchup against LSU, TCU will try prove the Big 12 Conference can matchup with the SEC on the field by playing well. “The only way I can tell where you’re at is just to play games on the field. Obviously last year Texas had an easy time with Ole Miss,” Patterson said. “This year we have three games in the first couple of weeks, with Big 12 teams playing against SEC teams, and that’s probably the way you’ll see it.” Gundy, No. 13 OK State Ready for Mississippi

State Oklahoma State enters Saturday’s bout against Mississippi State with a record of 8-1 against current members of the SEC under head coach Mike Gundy. He said he believes Saturday provides a chance for Oklahoma State to show voters that the Big 12 can matchup with the SEC. “I think there is; I don’t know to what degree. I think there are three games where the SEC’s playing against the Big 12. I’d say the voters across the country would have some opinion after watch-

ing those games,” Gundy said. Oklahoma State and Mississippi State kickoff in Houston at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Kingsbury Era Begins at Texas Tech When Texas Tech takes the field tonight on the road at SMU, it will mark the beginning of Kliff Kingsbury’s time as Red Raider head coach. After playing at Texas Tech from 1998-2002, Kingsbury will be on the sidelines at his alma mater for the first time.

“It’s exciting. That’s why we came here was to play the games. I think the players are ready. It’s going to be a great atmosphere. We know it’s a great opponent,” Kingsbury said. “The five years I’ve been coaching, we’ve played SMU and I know the type of talent they have and the coaching they receive, so we know the challenge we’re up against.” Kingsbury may play both Davis Webb and Baker Mayfield Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

After weeks of fall camp and learning plays, the WVU football team will get on the field tomorrow against William & Mary.

Young players one of many storylines entering opener by amit batra sports editor

With the first game Saturday against William & Mary, there is possibility of first-game jitters at Milan Puskar Stadium once noon comes around. That, and other key story lines, may be something to follow throughout Saturday’s contest. With any first game, there is a certain level of expectations for the coaching staff and players. West Virginia and William & Mary both have talented players on their respective rosters, but youth can play a factor

for WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen’s squad. “I just want to see what the kids’ mentalities are like and to see more than anything which guys get wide-eyed,” Holgorsen said. “Nothing gets guys more in position than a game does – you can figure out their mental toughness. “Guys that haven’t jumped offside all camp may get flinchy and jump off during a game because it’s a game. We try to put them in as many situations as we possibly can.” While Holgorsen certainly doesn’t want to see

many errors take place Saturday, he does understand that youth can play a factor. While Holgorsen and staff will certainly evaluate the team’s demeanor, progress will be made with time, like every season. Coming as a surprise, junior Andrew Buie will redshirt this season. Holgorsen addressed his leading rusher from 2012 this week. “He’s got to develop mentally and physically,” Holgorsen said. “We’re going to leave it at that. He’s not going to play this year. I fully expect him to be ready in the spring. He had

to make some decisions. Did we force him to redshirt? No. He just felt like it was in the best interest for him and in the best interest for the program to save his year.” Other key story lines entering Saturday’s opening game with the Tribe include the return of senior Ivan McCartney. “I’ve seen some differences in him,” Holgorsen said. “I think it matters a lot more to him now. Whatever issues he was dealing with last year, I don’t see him dealing with them this year. Is he going to be a difference maker?

We will see on Saturday. He’s had a good camp and has been able to maintain relative health.” In terms of injuries, junior wide receivers Kevin White and Mario Alford are both listed as questionable and have foot problems. Junior linebacker Shaq Petteway is set to have surgery Friday on an ACL injury. Despite William & Mary going 2-9 last season in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), Holgorsen doesn’t expect his squad to overlook the upset-minded Tribe. “You can’t overlook

them or anyone else in that conference,” he said. “Villanova has won a national championship. Delaware has won a national championship. They’ve beaten a lot of 1-A teams. In 2012 William & Mary almost beat Maryland. “We want to take these guys seriously. We should be excited to play – it doesn’t matter who we play. We’re tired of practicing against each other. It’s time to focus on somebody else, regardless of who that is, and we should be excited to play.” amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

Smallwood beats out upperclassmen on depth chart by doug walp sports writer

At the start of West Virginia’s fall camp, there were five players with a legitimate chance to play a lot of snaps at the running back position for the Mountaineers in 2013. As the weeks progressed, the WVU coaches kept their cards fairly close to their chests, and many began to assume the upperclassmen would eventually win the top spots in the running back rotation. However, those predictions were only half-justified, as redshirt senior running back Charles Sims, who transferred here from Houston this offseason, did indeed nab the top spot coming out of camp. Playing right behind the five-year senior is true freshman Wendell Smallwood, who surprisingly emerged from the Mountaineers’ preseason camp as the No. 2 back listed on the depth chart. Smallwood could be poised to make a name for himself right out of the gate at WVU. “Right now, I trust him enough to be a starter,” said first-year running backs

coach JaJuan Seider. “It’s just a gut feeling. He’s done a great job from spring to fall. He’s going to be a really, really good player here.” Smallwood beat out juniors Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie, who already have 200-yard rushing performances in their careers at WVU. Earlier this week, Holgorsen said Buie will redshirt this year. Garrison told reporters in the middle of fall camp that he thought Smallwood was “pretty much the only freshman here who still has got some learning to do,” but also noted that he could see him making an impact for the Mountaineers right away in 2013 if given the chance. “I also think he’s game ready,” Garrison said. “He’s developed a lot since spring ball, and he’s learned a lot.” The fact that Smallwood finished second only to the aforementioned Sims, who is actually considered the top running back prospect in all of college football by some NFL analysts, could be even more telling of the true freshman’s potential. Smallwood turned down offers from Auburn, Ten-

nessee and a number of other schools to come to Morgantown in the spring, despite an absolute packed house at the position with yet another highly touted transfer, Rushel Shell, waiting in the wings for 2014. At 5-foot-11 and 194 pounds, some might expect Smallwood to be a compact power runner, but according to his teammates, it’s Smallwood’s speed that has really caught their attention so far. “Wendell has an enormous amount of speed,” Garrison said during fall camp. Now, obviously Sims is expected to get the majority of the running back reps as the starter of the 2013 season opener against the Tribe of William & Mary Saturday afternoon. But according to the offensive coaching staff, keeping fresh bodies rotating in and sticking with the hot hand are definitely components of the game plan and could provide even more opportunities for Smallwood in his first ever collegiate appearance. But head coach Dana Holgorsen has also said all along that with any of the

true freshmen, including Smallwood, you can never really be too sure what you’re going to get until you get a packed house with the lights on. “We have a lot of inexperienced guys. Whether they’re guys that were or weren’t in the program, there aren’t a ton of guys who have taken college snaps,” Holgorsen said. “So it can be a concern to some, and it can be exciting to others. I take in the exciting part. I can’t wait to see those guys and see what they’ve got, (and) see which guys respond well to the atmosphere of 65,000 people in the stands and being on national television. “Some guys will elevate their game and some guys will get wide-eyed and not do what we want them to do. We have to identify that, and there’s only one way you can identify that.” Holgorsen can finally start officially identifying this in less than 48 hours when Wendell Smallwood and his new Mountaineer teammates take the field for the first time in 2013. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Sophomore safety Karl Joseph makes a tackle in last season’s game against Oklahoma.

Cook, Joseph look to rebuild defense following difficult year by greg madia multimedia editor

The West Virginia defense is tired of talking about what happened in 2012. Internally, they have put the season well in the review mirror and have moved on. Of course there are parts o f2012 to learn from, but talking about the struggles, reading opposing offensive stat sheets are completely in the past. The team understands if they change their focus from worrying about what happened a year ago to what is going to happen in 2013, they will be better off as a unit. Safeties Darwin Cook and Karl Joseph are the

roots behind that way of thinking. Two of the most experienced in the unit, Cook and Joseph understand that playing in the Big 12 Conference is all about what is next. Whether it is play to play or game to game, it’s all about looking ahead, and that is where the parallel between forgetting last season and thinking about this year comes in. “Players’ mentality can change everything and that’s what college football is all about,” Cook said. “If players and coaches have the same hunger and mentality, you have a chance to do great things.” Cook has been in Mor-

gantown since 2009 and is playing for his third defensive coordinator in three years. While that could be considered difficult, Cook adapted a way in which he can teach the young players who play beside him. “I’ve been through three different defenses in three years, so I know football and defense period,” Cook said. “If we have an inexperienced BUCK or inexperienced corner, I can just tell them what to do. If a young guy is out there and he gets frozen, I tell him what to do instead of the play just going by him.” Considered the elder statesman of the team, his teammates look at him as

someone with knowledge. Cook is expected to thrive in the leadership and up his level of play on the field. Alongside Cook, now sophomore Karl Joseph comes off a 104-tackle season. While some believe Joseph could get complacent, it appears to be the complete opposite. His position coach Tony Gibson sees that. “He’s (Joseph) done a great job; he’s a humble kid. He doesn’t think he’s the best to ever play the game; he studies film. He works and does a heck of a job just preparing,” Gibson said. “It’s something you see in juniors and seniors, and I think he’s

so far ahead of where he should be that it shows on the field.” Joseph admits while the number of tackles and big hits were awesome last season, it didn’t matter because the team didn’t win games. This year he wants to have his tackles and hits impact the outcome of the game. “I don’t care about stats. All I care about this season is winning games,” Joseph said. For Gibson, all he cares is getting Joseph ready to improve. “I’m just trying to finetune him and let him play within the system,” Gibson said. Both Cook and Joseph

are expected to be a dynamic duo at the safety spot for West Virginia. The defense is leaning on these two safeties for big plays and ability to create turnovers. Darwin Cook said with him aligned next to Joseph, the defense, as a whole, will improve vastly. The veteran, Cook also said this may be the best defense he has played during his career at West Virginia. “I’ve been here a long time, I’ve been on all the defenses. I was on the 2010 defense, and I’m not saying we’re going to be the 2010 defense, but we got a chance to be really good,” Cook said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
