HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

¡VIVA LA CULTURA! Khone Saysamongdy • The Collegian

Los Danzantes de Aztlan performs in the Peace Garden during the La Bienvenida event, Sept. 16, 2016. The performers are part of the Mexican folkloric dance program of the Chicano and Latin American Studies Department.

David Manuel Preciado Juárez, the consul of Mexico in Fresno, was on campus Friday to help celebrate the 206th anniversary of Mexican Independence Day and kick off Hispanic Heritage Month. “President Castro, thank you for letting

us celebrate, all of you, being proud to be Mexican. Many of you were born here; many of you were born in Mexico,” Juárez said in the Peace Garden. “But I want to say, Dr. Castro, that many others are Americans who choose to be Mexicans because they really love our culture, our traditions or music.” The Latina/o Faculty and Staff Asso-

ciation and Latina/o Services Program of the university’s Cross Culture and Gender Center presented “Bienvenida” to celebrate Hispanic culture with musical performances, free tacos, folkloric dance and guest speakers addressing Hispanic achievements at Fresno State and throughout the Hispanic community. Along with Fresno State President Dr.

Joseph Castro, Dr. Frank Lamas, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, and Provost Dr. Lynnette Zelezny attended. Olympic gymnast Alexa Moreno, who represented Mexico in the 2016 Rio Olympics, signed autographs and took photos at

FARMERS MARKET

Local farmers market promotes a healthy lifestyle By Brooke Rodriguez @TheCollegian

Once a week by River Park in Fresno, farmers and vendors gather to sell their produce. Ten to 15 vendors sell vegetables, fruits, nuts, honey, wine and even some desserts. It’s a place for people to get all-natural, locally grown and produced products – a health nut’s dream. With all the variety in products, as well as the many vendors, what is the main goal of the farmers market? Strictly to sell, or also to advertise? Most of the vendors have their own stores, while some have only the farm.

OPINION Jimmy Kimmel? Again? By Amber Carpenter @ambscarpenter

If you’re anything like me, a 75-year-old woman stuck inside of the body of a whiny millennial, you probably care a lot about the 68th Emmy Awards. Even if you don’t, there is an issue that needs to be addressed

GOT OPINIONS? We want to hear them. COLLEGIAN-OPINION@CSUFRESNO.EDU MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2016 and this one speaks volumes more about our society than it does about our taste in TV. In a turn of events that shocks no one, yet another Emmys ceremony is being hosted by a man. This isn’t me being an angry feminist jumping at the chance to burn a guy at the stake, but there is something to be said about the fact that a woman hasn’t hosted the Emmys in six years. So, in some ways, it becomes a feminist issue. This is the second time Jimmy Kimmel has been asked to host the ceremony, some saying this choice was rooted in his security as a host. Kimmel has the charisma and experience to be trusted with one of the few major televised award ceremonies American entertainment has to offer. Kimmel is great, but I think that we had other options. Amy Schumer, for example, is an established comedian and has the

same charisma and talk show experience to carry a three-hour-long ceremony. If it’s about long-term experience, let America’s favorite lesbian, Ellen DeGeneres, carry the show – she hosted once, for the 2005 ceremony. Last year saw the Emmy Awards’ lowest ratings ever: first-timer Andy Samberg was entrusted with hosting, but flopped. This year was an opportunity for awards’ organizers to take a risk, seeing as things for the Television Academy couldn’t get much worse after the drop in over 4 million viewers between the 2014 and 2015 telecasts. However, they stuck to what was safe; Kimmel’s last Emmys brought in over 13 million viewers. To me, it’s obvious that they took the easy way out. The 2013 Golden Globes ceremony, hosted by power-duo Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, saw a 17 percent rise in viewer-

ship from the previous year’s, and was the highest rated Globes telecast in almost 10 years. Historically, Emmys viewership trails behind that of the Golden Globes by at least 2 to 3 million viewers each year. Wouldn’t it make sense for the Television Academy to take a page out of the Golden Globe’s book and let at least one woman host the show? Ellen DeGeneres’ 2005 Emmys ceremony was the highest-rated Emmys telecast in almost 13 years. Isn’t that proof enough that women are charismatic and ballsy enough to carry the coveted role of host? It’s our job as consumers to lead the pack in demanding a shift; in an entertainment world dominated by middle-aged white men (a friendly reminder of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy), we should challenge ourselves and those whose entertainment we pay so much for, to be better.

The preeminent penis complex By Jenna Wilson @fsjennawilson

Athletes, coaches, broadcasters, umpires, referees, general managers: the world of sports has been forever dominated by men and has made little progress in recent years in welcoming women into a world that they so rightly and equitably deserve a place in. “Yeah, on the sidelines wearing skirts and waving poms poms around,” says the overweight, Coors Light-drinking Cleveland Browns fan who has worn and burned starting-quarterback jerseys more times than Taylor Swift has changed her relationship status. Last time I checked, the only thing that you have that we don’t are penises and a Y chromosome. So why do males insist that females have no place sticking their noses into the sports world? Are your members all-endowed by Phil Jackson, Vince Lombardi and Ted Williams? I didn’t think so.

Is it programmed into your DNA to assume that females know nothing about sports and you most likely know more than the next guy? We have two X chromosomes, you have an X and a Y. When was the last time you saw a Y in a playbook? Never? Me either. Believe it or not, which I know will be hard for Cowboys fans considering they think Tony Romo is actually a good quarterback, I drafted my own fantasy team--by myself. Believe it or not, I made my own 2016 March Madness bracket and who did I pick to win? That’s right, Villanova. And even more shocking, I actually know what PAT and ERA stand for. Un-freaking-believable, right? Someone with a vagina actually knows something beyond how big Mike Trout’s fiance’s ring is and who Klay Thompson is dating? Gasp. You know what, though? I will give you the benefit of the doubt. There are those girls who pick the team they will root for in each game based on the colors of the players’ uniforms. There are those girls who

auto-draft their fantasy teams or draft with the help of their boyfriends or brothers. And yes, there are those girls who would much rather be wearing a pink Lebron James jersey or be cheering from the sidelines. And that is ok. What is not ok is assuming that we are all the same. There are those of us who watch the games because we genuinely enjoy the thrill of competition. There are those of us who know just as much, if not more than most males. We watch the same games that you watch, listen to the same broadcasts and analyses, and read and grimace at the same uneducated tweets that you do. Oh, we never played football or participated in the intensely passionate camaraderie that is the men’s locker room? Please explain how that makes us less knowledgeable about sports. You played Pop Warner and some junior college baseball? Please elaborate how this makes you a credible source for determining that you would be a way better coach than Joe Maddon. In other words, you are just as credible as

the females inhabiting the sports world as we, like you, didn’t get the opportunity to play or coach in the pros. You didn’t. However, because you weren’t good enough. We didn’t because it’s not even a viable option for us, for now. Enter Becky Hammon, Amanda Hopkins and Sarah Thomas. These women have broke barriers in male-dominated professions, but we have a long way to go. You very well could know the ins and outs of the Boston Red Sox, but you are definitely, without a doubt, not the only one. So guys, before you assume that we are only wearing Aaron Rodgers and Bryce Harper jerseys because they are good-looking and that’s what humans with vaginas do? Think again and actually pick our brains. We do not need you to be impressed, nor do we need your validation. What we need is the respect that we deserve as fellow sports aficionados who just happen to have boobs, like some of you. Don’t just take a knee for racial injustice, but stand up for gender equality.

Farmers markets hit River Park on Tuesdays

Christian Ortuno • The Collegian

Plums from Ferrer Farms being displayed for purchase at the River Park Farmers Market on Sept. 13, 2016.

MARKET from Page 1 Sumner Peck Ranch, one local favorite, sells almost everything you could want. There are fruits, vegetables, wine, honey, nuts and potatoes. This vendor has a store, a large ranch and a farm. Colby Bauer, long-time employee of the ranch, said, “I love working for this store. Everything is grown at the ranch and then put into the store. The ranch is huge, and even the wine is made there. It’s all pure and natural, I really appreciate that.”

Bauer said he isn’t always concerned with eating super healthy food. He said he “loves his tacos and burgers,” but is happy and believes in the company with its belief in giving the city good products that are handled well. One might think there was a festival going on with how packed the market is on Tuesday nights. It’s thronged with people of all ages, and there’s so much selection. There are even organic cupcakes for those with a sweet tooth. “I love that it’s so close to my apartment

a meet-and-greet. University mascots Timeout and Victor E. Bulldog III made appearances to take photos and join in the celebration. The university performance group Fresno State Mariachi kicked off the event with music, bringing Hispanic musical traditions to campus. Next was university performance dance group Los Danzantes de Aztlan, the Mexican folkloric dance program of the Chicano and Latin American studies department. The national anthem was performed acapella by Alejandra Tejada, a music major and member of Fresno State Mariachi. Those in attendance sang along and cheered for the anthem. After Juárez made his address, he led the historic “El Grito de Dolores” declaration, the battle cry of the Mexican War of Independence from Spain. Per tradition, the crowd yelled “Viva!” after each declaration. During the declaration, students bearing the flags of 26 Latin American nations represented at Fresno State were marched in by the Banda de Guerra. The marching band, Banda de Guerra (traditional band of war), performed. There were cheers throughout the audience. “Bienvenida!” Castro said as he greeted the audience.

For the first time in the university’s history, Castro said, “Latinos make up 60 percent of our entering freshman class. These are record numbers for us. And it comes at a time when our university is receiving more and more national recognition because of the hard work of our students, faculty and staff and the support of our alumni and friends.” Castro recounted some of his own family’s history. “I’m so grateful to serve at this time with all of you and as we celebrate right near Cesar Chavez’s status. Let us not forget the sacrifices that so many people made for us to be here,” Castro said. “My grandfather in particular, I’m thinking of him today because he immigrated from Simón Michoacan. He had big dreams. All of us have big dreams but because of his circumstances, he was not able to fulfill his potential. So I get to do that for him. And I know many of you are in similar positions; you are here because your families have worked so hard for generations so that you could succeed here at Fresno State.” Currently, Fresno State has a total of 11,576 Latino students, nearly half of the total enrollment, making Fresno State one of the largest Hispanic-serving institutions in California. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15.

but I also love to know I’m getting a great product,” said Local Taylor Scilufo, who attends every Tuesday. “The people also make it so much more interesting, and I’d rather pay them than the grocery store.” Scilufo is your average health enthusiast with a minimalistic diet and a fairly clean eater. However, she said she does “love the cupcakes for a special treat.” A lot of the vendors at the market have a side that is organic and another that isn’t. Candace Johnson, assistant manager at Bella Fruita, explained that “everything has

all of the freshness in it. If it isn’t organic, that just means we added another ingredient that we didn’t make.” Emilie Vark is the epitome of healthy. “Being an athlete and gluten-free, this is the best place to come to get the best fruits and veggies,” Vark said. “That’s typically all I get, and I’m never disappointed. I also love coming here for the atmosphere, all the people and locals. This is what makes our city and they give to us, so I love to give back and show my support.”

“Being raised by immigrant parents in the Central Valley drove my aspiration to aid Valley residents by becoming an attorney.” Diego Andrade

4 SENIORS IN HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood underrepresents, mischaracterizes and demeans seniors, studies find By August Brown

Los Angeles Times/TNS

As is now common knowledge, Hollywood has a diversity problem: People of color, LGBT folk and the differently abled all find themselves improperly represented or altogether absent in front of and behind screens large and small. A pair of studies released this week, however, paint an even worse picture for seniors, noting that there are few characters over age 60 and that for the seniors who are present, they face demeaning or ageist references that don’t match their lived experiences. “Seniors are rarely seen on-screen, and when they are, they are ridiculed,” Stacy Smith, director of the Media, Diversity, & Social Change Initiative at USC’s journalism school, said in a statement. “When did we become a society that is comfortable with subtle and stigmatizing stereotypes about a group that has long served as the pillars and stalwarts of our communities?” The findings stem from studies conducted by USC and the health company Humana. USC’s study analyzed the 100 top-grossing films of 2015 to assess the portrayal of characters 60 and over. Meanwhile, Humana’s quantitative analysis

asked seniors to identify the lifestyle traits that are important when aging, assess the degree to which these traits describe them and provide their thoughts on senior representation in media. They found that in film, seniors are underrepresented, mischaracterized and demeaned by ageist language. While census numbers track 18.5 percent of the population as 60 or older, only 11 percent of movie characters were. Out of the 57 films that had a leading or supporting senior character, more than half of them, 30 in total, faced ageist comments such as being called “a relic,” “a frail old woman” and

“a senile old man.” The problem with this, the studies suggest, is that it does not represent the lived experiences of older people. Seniors surveyed by Humana reported being highly aware (95 percent), resilient (91 percent) and physically active (71 percent). Additionally, while only 29.1 percent of on-screen leading or supporting characters ages 60 years or older engaged with technology, 84 percent of seniors reported using the internet weekly. Furthermore, one-third of on-screen seniors have hobbies and 38.5 percent attend events, while in reality, seniors are more than two times

as likely to engage socially on a weekly or monthly basis. This latest pair of studies contributes to an ongoing conversation about diversity in Hollywood, one in which the film academy has received the most attention. However, given that, despite its recent influx of new members, the academy is an overwhelmingly gray institution (as of The Times’ 2012 study, the organization’s median age was 62, with people younger than 50 as just 14 percent of the membership), it’s curious that Hollywood is so willing to lampoon its own legends.

By August Brown

Los Angeles Times/TNS Lady Gaga has announced a new album, and her first under her birth name — well, almost. The singer debuted the news of a new record on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show Thursday. The LP, titled “Joanne,” will come out Oct. 21 on Streamline/Interscope. The record is titled after Gaga’s middle name (she was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta), one she shares with her late aunt. Her family also owns the NYC Italian restaurant Joanne Trattoria. News of the record comes out after the debut of “Perfect Illusion,” a new single that features contributions from Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker and producers Mark Ronson and BloodPop. “Let’s not bother with a poker face here. The new single by Lady Gaga? It. Totally.

Rules,” said The Times’ Mikael Wood. “‘Perfect Illusion’ is a stomping disco-rock jam with a killer robot-Motown groove, buckets of scuzz-punk guitar fuzz and a key change designed to trigger Pavlovian fist-pumps … (A)nd like all the best pop songs, it can’t decide if it’s sad or happy, paranoid or ecstatic; the tune lifts you up at the same time that it marches over you, a blast of serotonin under constant threat of reuptake,” Wood writes. “Joanne” will reportedly also feature appearances from Josh Homme, Beck, Father John Misty, Florence Welch and Hillary Lindsey (the country music writer behind “Jesus Take the Wheel” and “Girl Crush”). But the album isn’t Gaga’s biggest transformation of late. The singer has confirmed that she returned to the upcoming sixth season of “American Horror Story,” and although her role is still under wraps, the prospect that she might be portraying a blood-feasting settler witch should provide a fun counterpoint to the record.

BLAKE SHELTON

13 reasons Blake Shelton is so big By Job Bream Star Tribune

Kenny Chesney and Luke Bryan may play stadiums. But, let’s face it, Blake Shelton is the biggest thing in country music right now. And it’s not just because he’s 6 foot 5. Here are 13 reasons why Shelton has become so gosh darn popular. 1. He’s a big-time TV star. “The Voice” has two seasons each year, which means Shelton is on NBC for six months a year. It’s been that way since 2011. That’s more TV exposure than any country star’s ever had — unless you count all those years that Buck Owens and Roy Clark were on “Hee Haw” in syndication. (Millennials, ask your grandparents.) Plus, Shelton’s work on “The Voice” led to him winning the coveted entertainer of the year from the Country Music Association in 2012. 2. He puts fellow “Voice” coach Adam Levine in his place. Let’s be honest: The voice of Maroon 5 is smug, smart-alecky and full of him-

self. And Shelton doesn’t much tolerate it. He doesn’t hesitate to shoot down Levine with a pointed but not-mean-spirited quip. Of course, Levine deserves it. 3. He has coached more winners than any other coach on “The Voice.” Four members of Team Blake have emerged victorious in the 10 seasons of the talent show (and six have been runners-up). Team Adam has produced three champions. 4. He has a great smile and a gleam in his eyes. Need we say more? 5. Dimples. OK, we said more. Those dimples are irresistible, aren’t they, ladies? 6. He’s genuinely funny. One of the top tweeters in country music, he used to do a series of unfiltered tweets that started “I’m so drunk … .” They were the kind of comments you took with a grain of salt or a can of beer. He was cheeky. For example, “I’m so drunk right now I just walked into Canadian customs and shouted ‘Why y’all checkin’ me?! Ur the ones with a pot leaf on your

flag!!’” or “It’s gotta suck for tabloids that I personally have more followers on Twitter than they have buyers.” Nowadays, he doesn’t push the envelope as much with his 17.9 million Twitter followers. Recently, he tweeted “Missing for 4 days … ..last seen wandering the streets of Nashville” with a picture of his face on a milk carton. 7. He has oodles of charisma. In 2013, when he headlined at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., he talked about drinking, hunting, fishing, dogs, death (his brother’s), drinking, boobies and more drinking. He came across like your best bro with whom you love to go to the game, the lake and the bar. And the way he laid it on as thick as giblet gravy seasoned with oodles of humor and silliness, you were certain that this dude could sell a case of beer to a teetotaler and convince her to give it away to all his pals. He actually tried to fix up two strangers in the front row. 8. He’s unpretentious. See No. 7 for evidence.

9. He’s handsome. He got rid of that mullet and cowboy hat he was sporting in 2001 when his single “Austin” went to No. 1. Without the hat and long dangling curls, he’s tall, dark and hunky. That full face, with that smile, those eyes and, of course, those dimples. His looks translate on TV and in person. 10. His songs are simple but ring true. Most of them are midtempo or ballads. They are straightforward love songs with easy melodies that don’t turn on cute phrases. They are filled with simple truths and simple lyrics like “little kisses sweeter than sweet tea.” It’s not great poetry but it connects with the masses. His recordings are rarely overproduced, save for the pseudo power ballad “Over.” He isn’t much for bro-country, save for 2013’s “Boys ‘Round Here,” which was sort of a novelty featuring Pistol Annies (a group starring his then-wife Miranda Lambert). He isn’t much for up-tempo tunes either, save for “Hillbilly Bone,” his 2009 hit duet with Trace Adkins. 11. Guys want to be him, gals

want to be with him. He’s a hunting, fishing, beer-drinking kind of guy. And he’ll make the women swoon with songs like “And God Gave Me You,” “Mine Would Be You” and “My Eyes.” 12. He’s remained loyal to his hometown, Tishomingo, Okla. Despite being a big TV star, he hasn’t gone Hollywood. Home is his hometown. Even Lambert, when she was married to Shelton, opened a bed-and-breakfast there. And now reports of Gwen Stefani, Shelton’s current love interest, being seen in Tishomingo with Shelton are commonplace. 13. The tabloids make him seem likable. OK, he may have dumped his high-school-sweetheart first wife because he became smitten with Lambert. But the tabloids have us believing that Lambert was the bad girl in Marriage No. 2. And now we believe that Shelton and Stefani make such a winning couple because the grocery-store rags tell us so. So color Shelton as a Bad Boy turned Mr. Nice Guy.

FOOD

A guide to on-campus food options for dietary restricted students By Jessica Johnson & Hayley Salazar The simple question of “What do you want to eat?” has become complex as food allergies have become more common. Of the students who responded to the Collegian’s Twitter poll, 38 percent reported having a dietary restriction such as a gluten or dairy intolerance. There are 44 percent who are following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. Additionally, 18 percent say they are “allergic to everything.” So where do these students eat on campus? The search was on to find food options on Fresno State’s campus to better equip fellow Bulldogs on their journeys across campus. The result: findings were scarce in comparison to the majority of food options. In a second Twitter poll, 83 percent of students voted “yes”, indicating that it is hard to locate dietary-friendly food choices on campus. Paws-N-Go Market in the North Gym contains a gluten free section within the store. However, the shelves were picked clean by the end of lunch time. For students like Rachel Ward, a senior who has a gluten allergy, finding food on campus seems to be difficult. “I usually have to bring my own meals but there have been times

where I wasn’t able to purchase anything filling on campus. Most menus on campus don’t have a gluten-free option except for a salad or trail mix,” Ward said. Making food at home, packing

it and lugging it around campus can be difficult for some students. So where can students eat when they are on campus for hours at a time? It took some digging to find

FORMER BULLDOGS

From the Valley to South Beach: Tyler Johnson strikes fire with Miami Heat By David Chavez @d23chavez

Tyler Johnson played for Fresno State from 2010-14. He started 87 of 127 games. Johnson per game averaged 10.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 steals. He finished his time at Fresno State ranked No. 16 on the all-time scoring list with 1,346 points. Johnson has become one of the most intriguing players in the NBA. As an undrafted player, night in and night out Johnson had to prove to the league that he was ready for the next level. After some time in the D-League (NBA Developmental League), he was called up by the Miami Heat and has not looked back since. Johnson’s contract was one of the most talked about deals this summer. The Brooklyn Nets offered a four-year $50 million contract, which led to the Miami Heat matching the offer and ultimately re-signing him. With the departure of Dwyane Wade from Miami to Chicago and the uncertainty of Chris Bosh’s playing future, Johnson will be looked upon to perform at a high level every night. Tyler On his journey to the NBA: After I graduated, I went to summer league. I ended up making the summer league team for the Heat. And from there I was invited to go to training camp. I was one of the last two cuts from making the final roster that year, which was two years ago. I ended up going to the Heat’s affiliate team down in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for the D-League. I ended up playing there for four months, and then I was called up. I didn’t really get a chance to play in my first call-up. They sent me back down for two or three games and then I ended up getting called up again, and that’s when I kind of stuck and ended up staying with the team. On being called up: It was everything I thought it would be. It was a proud moment for not only myself, but for the peo-

ple who are around me to support me. I had a baby when I was in college with my now-fiancee, Ashley, and we were able to go through all those things together along with my mother and my siblings. I was happier because I was able to make them proud. On playing with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh: I’m blessed. A lot of people who come into the league don’t get the opportunity to play with who you would consider a Hall-of-Famer. It was an honor to be able to play with Dwyane. Chris, as we get closer, we’ll see when he comes back. It’s definitely an honor when you get to play next to a Hall-of-Famer. On his new deal: It was overwhelming. I kind of got sick to my stomach just hearing that number and knowing that I was able to be in a position to take care of my family the way I wanted to. It was just an overwhelming experience. I’m blessed to be able to go through it, but I’m glad that whole process is behind me and now I can look forward on just playing basketball. On potential role change now that Wade has moved on from Miami: My role is definitely going to increase. I think, for me, to continue doing what I’m doing. When I was healthy, whether it be making shots or running the point and getting everybody organized, as well as being a defender on the perimeter. I think I’ve just got to be able to continue the same role I was in but for longer periods of time. On Paul George: We’ve talked a couple times. He hit me up and told me congratulations on the deal. Every time we play Indiana, we talk a little bit. He was definitely somebody I looked up to coming out of school because of the success he was able to have. It’s very humbling to have somebody who came before you to show you what route to take. On coach Rodney Terry and watching Fresno State return to the NCAA Tournament: I was excited. I wasn’t able to watch but I remember keeping up with the gamecasts when they played San Diego State in the championship for the Mountain West. I still talk to guys like Cezar (Guerrero) and Marvelle (Harris), Paul (Watson),

Karachi (Edo), Juice (Julien Lewis) when he was there. I definitely follow them closely. I called coach Byron Jones and Johnny Olguin and Terry whenever I had the chance. I was able to follow them closely Advice to Marvelle Harris, Cezar Guerrero and Julien Lewis: Just stay with it. I was knocked down. I remember when I was first cut from the Heat training camp roster. You just have to stay with it because you never know what kind of opportunity is going to present itself. It’s better to be ready and never get the opportunity, than to get the opportunity and not be ready. On representing Fresno State and being a Bulldog: You think of the tradition that they’ve had there back in the days of ‘Tark’ (Jerry Tarkanian) and Boyd Grant and them, and even Steve Cleveland. Everybody who talks about Fresno State basketball talks about those days and all the great players who came before us. It means a lot to be able to wear that jersey, and I’m glad that it’s starting to find its way back on the national map. Miami Heat Spoelstra

“Tyler, how I describe him is, he’s a winner who finds a way to win. He makes you watch him. He makes you play him. He makes you re-sign him. He’s a force of nature out there. He doesn’t do everything perfectly by the script, that’s what I love about Tyler. He finds a way. He’s got an incredible work ethic. I think that’s why the Heat fan base loves Tyler so much. And they should. He’s reflective of the work ethic of this community. He puts in the time. He’s tireless with his work ethic. He’s coachable. He has a great desire to get better, and he’s turned himself into a heck of a pro. But again, with Tyler, I’m not going to put a ceiling on him. Because of his competitiveness, because of his work ethic, his commitment to want to be great, who knows where he can be this year?”

“TJ is a wonderful ambassador for our Fresno State basketball program. His hard work has paid off. He takes great pride in being the best teammate that he can be and carries himself the right way. Tyler was always the first guy in the gym and the last to leave. He led by example. I’m thrilled for Tyler, as well as his family. I am very proud of all that he has accomplished, so far.”

Bulldogs power through UC Irvine before heading into conference play

Lauren Torres (#2) and Madelyn Halteman (#5) celebrate with teammates after securing a win in their final nonconference game.

By David Chavez @d23chavez

With Mountain West Conference play set to begin next week, the Fresno State volleyball team heads into the season with confidence after strong play throughout the nonconference schedule. The ’Dogs defeated UC Irvine Thursday night in a tough four-set match, three sets to one. Fresno State took the first set and was on its way to winning the second set, leading 20-11. But the Anteaters scored 10 unanswered points to tie the game at one set each heading into the half. Bulldogs head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell said she tried to keep the message in the locker room positive after giving

away that second set. “Other than that run, we win that set,” Netherby-Sewell said. “They didn’t need to hear an earful about that server. So they just came back out and got right back to business and handled it.” Senior libero Maggie Eppright, recently named Student Athlete of the Week by Fresno State Athletics and Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week, reiterated her coach’s sentiments and said that moments like those will only help the team going forward. “That’s what preseason is all about,” Eppright said. “There’s always a lesson to take especially when you lose a set. There’s always a reason that you did, and I think recognizing that is definitely what helps us.” Both teams were playing well offensive-

ly, but it was the third set that saw the ’Dogs get settled back in and seize momentum by stepping up on the defensive side. Tied at 23-23, Fresno State won the last two points thanks to a kill by Aleisha Coates and block assists by Madelyn Halteman and Gertu Vider. The Bulldogs carried their purposeful play into the fourth and sealed the match by winning 25-21. Redshirt freshman setter Madelyn Halteman came up big in the game, providing 34 assists, two service aces, nine digs, one solo block and one block assist. Although one of the youngest players for the ’Dogs, she doesn’t shy away from being called upon to contribute in a major way in every game. “Being a setter, it’s extremely difficult,” Halteman said. “Just knowing where you’re

at, where the team’s at, where you are in the rotations, whom to set and when to set them. Being a setter is kind of like the quarterback of the team.” At 9-2, Netherby-Sewell likes the team’s mindset and acknowledged that there is still room for improvement. “One step at a time,” Netherby-Sewell said. “We’ll have a lot more time to prepare for matches than we do in preseason. This team likes information, they like prepping and being ready. It’s going to be a challenge, but I think this team is up for it.” The Bulldogs start conference play this week with two games on the road. The team takes on Colorado State Thursday, Sept. 22, at 6 p.m. and travels Sept. 24 to face Wyoming at noon.

the big thing,” DeRuyter said. “We did not match their physicality early, and late we got some blown coverages by some young guys.” When the Bulldogs were able to move the ball, they seemed to be called back on a penalty nearly every time — 12 penalties for 138 yards by the end. The Rockets played more disciplined football, committing six penalties for 45 yards. The Rockets outgained Fresno State in total yards, 619 to 254, and in first downs, 27 to seven. The Bulldogs failed to convert a single third down in 13 attempts. The rushing attack also struggled, gaining 51 yards on 27 attempts, — 1.9 yards per rush. Virgil finished the game with 190 passing yards and two touchdowns, the second coming on an 85-yard completion to wideout Jamire Jordan in the fourth quarter. Punter Blake Cusick had another busy day, punting 12 times. Fresno State returns to Bulldog Stadium this Saturday to face the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

The Fresno State football team went on the road against the Toledo Rockets on Saturday and was blown out 52-17, dropping the Bulldogs’ record to 1-2. Fresno State was blanked in the first half as the Rockets raced out to a 24-0 lead. The Bulldogs struggled to get anything going on offense until the end of the third quarter when they faced a 38-0 deficit. The offense finally put a drive together as quarterback Chason Virgil hit wide receiver KeeSean Johnson on a 9-yard touchdown pass. The Bulldogs came out flat and failed to stop Toledo quarterback Logan Woodside, who threw for four touchdowns. The defense struggled against the run, giving up 318 yards and two touchdowns. Toledo outmatched Fresno State on both sides of the ball and was clearly the more physical team. After the game, Bulldogs head coach Tim DeRuyter spoke to 940 ESPN Radio. “We’ve got to be more physical, that’s
