Cats got the advantage The Week Two Edge: UK vs. Central Michigan

Breaking down the key matchups in UK’s home opener against Central Michigan on Saturday.
UK wide receivers vs. their week one performance In week one against Western Kentucky, UK junior quarterback Morgan Newton completed just seven passes for 97 yards. Remove guard Stuart Hines’ six-yard reception and the receivers combined for just six catches for 91 yards; not the kind of coming out party the wideouts had in mind as they continue to adjust to the post-Randall Cobb era.

La’Rod King
The receivers had their opportunities against WKU but struggled to hold on to the football, dropping numerous passes in key situations against the Hilltoppers. After the Cats narrowly escaped LP Field with a 14-3 victory, much of the blame for the team’s struggles was placed on the receivers, leading to discussion of a shake-up at the position this week. But UK head coach Joker Phillips said following Wednesday’s practice that the offense has regrouped in preparing for Central Michigan and that he is confident in his receivers to hold onto the football against the Chippewas. “It was definitely a lot better today and a lot of that has to do with understanding what we are seeing on defense after studying Central Michigan for three days,” Phillips said of UK’s offense. “But we shouldn’t have any problems throwing and catching the ball, regardless of who we are playing.” In the friendly confines of Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday, the receivers will finally have a second chance to prove to their teammates, coaches, fans and even themselves that they can find their niche in the offense and hold on to the football before UK reaches SEC play. If they fall flat again,
Phillips has indicated that he is willing to give some younger receivers a look. With playing time and starting spots on the line, expect the receivers to come out of the tunnel on Saturday ready to impress.
The edge: The UK receivers playing for their jobs. UK offensive line vs. Central Michigan defense The passing game was not the only thing holding back the Cats’ offense against Western Kentucky; the running game managed just 93 yards on 33 carries in week one. Likewise, in Central Michigan’s week one matchup against South Carolina State, the Chippewas held the Bulldogs to only 59 yards on 43 carries, an average of 1.4 yards per carry. Against the Hilltoppers, UK’s offensive line looked helpless as it tried to be assertive in the trenches, providing few running lanes for the backs behind them to take. Center Matt Smith and right tackle Billy Joe Murphy were held out of practice this week, and their staSee EDGE on page 2

The department of agriculture has kicked off its biggest week of the year. Ag Roundup started Wednesday morning and is packed with events through Saturday, before the home football game. “The purpose of Roundup is to highlight the College of Ag and the programs we’re doing,” Billy Toombs, the alumni coordinator for the College of Agriculture, said. “We want to showcase that to everyone in the state; we are here to serve the state, the Commonwealth.” Each day of events includes meals and programs, all filled with many alumni and staff. Roundup originally started 38 years ago as a Saturday morning event before a football game, Toombs said. The Ag Roundup events show what the department does throughout the year, said See AG on page 2

sor, in an email to the Kernel. Upon being commissioned, Rash and other design faculty decided to have a contest among their students to design a base for the I-beam. Rash said when the 126pound beam arrived, it was distorted and the original winning design was no longer going to work. “It gave me goose bumps, and I understood I needed to do something that was elegant and would honor everything the Ibeam represents,” Rash said. He handpicked Michael Mead and Ben Ward to help him make May’s design a reality. Over the course of two and a half months, they constructed the base and brought the beam back to life. Rash said the group wanted the base to be “powerful,” while still complementing the I-beam to make sure it was still the focus. Rash said he is honored he was able to participate in the 9/11 memorial’s creation. “The events have had an impact on everyone and have changed the country forever with or without memorials,” Rash said. “It means to me that the world is not a very happy place. “When I think of the firemen and officials that rushed to help evacuate the towers, knowing that they are in harms way, purposely for the existence of those in danger, I just hope that the world can glean some of that humanity.”
Pam Poe Biddle, the special projects and event coordinator. “It’s a showcase Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and a reunion for the college,” she said. People not in the College of Agriculture can also attend. State legislators come to view the events, along with city council members and sponsors. Close to 4,000 people are expected to be at the roundup this year, Toombs said. The College came together for a picnic Thursday outside the E. S.
Good Barn. Thursday provides interaction between incoming students, staff, alumni and the community of agriculture who come in to the events. “Thursday is a Lexington community day,” Toombs said. “We are in the middle of an urban environment and the College of Agriculture is still relevant here as well.” Hannah Shear, an animal science and agricultural economics senior, said the picnic is mostly for students to visit with alumni. “It helps with networking with alumni because some of them are business owners,” she said. “Kids

Toss Hines, who has practiced with the team this week but is still recovering from a sprained knee, into the mix, and UK’s sturdy veteran offensive line suddenly looks vulnerable. With two inexperienced backs, sophomore Raymond Sanders and true freshman Josh Clemons, splitting carries, combined with UK’s lack of a true fullback, it will be up to the offensive line to live up to preseason expectations and establish a running game against Central Michigan.
The edge: The offensive line, because UK’s running game will pose more of a threat to Central Michigan than South Carolina State’s did. Central Michigan quarterback Ryan Radcliff vs. UK’s secondary The Cats’ defense looked dominant in week

one, holding Western Kentucky to just three points for the game. But while players like defensive tackle Luke McDermott, linebackers Danny Trevathan and Ronnie Sneed and safety Winston Guy excelled close to the line of scrimmage against the Hilltoppers, the secondary, at times, was exposed. On two different plays in the first 20 minutes of the game, W KU quarterback Kawaun Jakes missed two wide open receivers in the end zone after his receivers blew past the UK secondary. Bringing Guy into the box as a safety helped UK contain WKU running back Bobby Rainey and put pressure on Jakes in the pocket, but it also left the rest of UK’s defensive backs on an island in coverage. Radcliff completed 14 of 27 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions last week against South Carolina State. While his numbers were not overwhelming, he proved to the UK coaching staff that he is able to manage the Chippewas’ offense and put the ball in the end zone through the air, more than Jakes could say a week ago. While Central Michigan may not be a national championship contender, when a receiver is

The speakers include alumni, professors and students. Ouita Papka Michel is the keynote speaker. Drew Andrews, Jim Albisetti and Jane Vance will also speak at the event. Jazmine Shoup, a sophomore Honors Program ambassador, said that the seminars give everyone a chance to talk equally and share rewarding experiences from the Honors Program. “It exemplifies how successful and dedicated the Honors Program has been in challenging and guiding students,” Shoup said.
open, Radcliff will find him, making it imperative that the secondary locks down on Radcliff’s targets. Senior cornerbacks Anthony Mosley and Randall Burden must show they can play one-on-one coverage in co-defensive coordinator Rick Minter’s defense or the Cats will struggle to stop the pass. By adding pressure at the line of scrimmage, Minter hopes his defense will create more turnovers, an area in which UK struggled a year ago, but his secondary must respond in coverage for the defense to excel.
The edge: The secondary. While it may not be in midseason form again this week, the rest of the defense should be able to pick up the slack to slow down Radcliff’s passing attack. Overall edge: UK. Following last week’s scare, Phillips and his team are eager to take the field again and prove to Big Blue Nation that they are ready to compete in the SEC and make a run to what could be their six straight bowl appearance.
On Saturday, a studentrun tour will give alumni the chance to meet students in the Honors Program and see how the campus has changed. Admittance into the Honors Program is a competitive, yearly event. Requirements include a 3.75 high school GPA, a score of 29 on the ACT, a number of essays and extracurricular activities. However, students are strongly encouraged to apply even if all of the above requirements are not met. “The program likes to see students who want to challenge themselves and their mind,” Shoup said.

TV show ‘bait car’ stolen by mistake LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles authorities have arrested three men who allegedly stole a car featured on the reality TV show “Bait Car.” The car is rigged to record potential thieves using a hidden video camera and to trap them in the vehicle until officers can show up to arrest them. But on Aug. 8th there was a mechanical malfunction that allowed four men to steal the sedan at La Brea Avenue near 30th Street and drive off instead of getting trapped. The vehicle is used by an auto-theft task force of the California Highway Patrol, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff, said LAPD Cmdr. Andy Smith. “Bait Car,” which runs on cable network TruTV, films some of the task force's cases, but it's not clear whether crews were filming the day the car was stolen.

The car, which authorities would not describe because they didn't want to tip off future potential thieves, was recovered later that day. Two men were arrested the day the car was stolen, but the other two were still being sought in the crime, police said. After almost a month, an officer with the LAPD Hollywood Division's Parole Impact team saw a bulletin containing a still photo from video of the theft and recognized a probationer known to frequent the area. Within an hour, officers had collared the man, whose identity was not immediately released because the investigation is continuing. In the last eight months, the Parole Impact Team has contacted some 400 parolees and arrested approximately 175 of them for parole violations, Smith said.

The department works together throughout the week to make it all possible. “We’re proud of what we are and what we have accomplished,” Toombs said. “It’s not like Pam (Poe Biddle) and I just came in — it’s been 40 years of roundup organization.” The Roundup is more than just an event, Biddle said. “It goes back to being a family, whether you’re a student or an employee, it’s a family here.

UK alumnus releases eclectic album By Joy Priest jpriest@kykernel.com
UK alumnus Tarik Adams returned to Lexington this summer on a Wednesday night for his debut performance at Cosmic Charlie’s. The 2009 integrated strategic communications graduate is now a recording artist, pursuing a dream that had been put on hold during his undergraduate career. “We had almost 200 people come out to (Cosmic Charlie’s),” said Adams, whose real name is Tarik Nally, of the June 8 concert, “I wanted to reintroduce myself … for me, as an artist, it was tough doing a 40-minute set when people only knew one song on the project.” At the time, Adams had
only released one single on his project “Tigers and Girls,” which debuts in Lexington Friday at his album release party and Sunday online for free to the world. That song — “Wake Up” — was the one he hoped those 200 people would know well enough to sing along to as they welcomed him back. “I’m really excited to come back and perform … especially at UK because people will have had time to listen to my music,” Adams said. The co-founder of Diversity Dialogues on UK’s campus was also involved in UK Student Government and was a student ambassador. Now, the 24-year-old says he wishes he would have been more persistent with music.
“During undergrad I just felt like we didn’t have a connection to the resources we needed to actually record,” he said, “but if you want to do music, get it in gear now because you have the opportunity to have the whole student body behind you. UK is a really supportive community.” The once over-achiever on campus has now adopted that work ethic as a lifestyle. Since graduating, Adams has developed his label, Feel Free; done some freelance advertising; and started on his Master of Business Administration degree at Xavier University while he lives in Cincinnati. Now his label has grown from a start-up idea with a childhood friend to a working brand with four artists —
Adams, Lexington natives J Cannon and Fatal, and Louisville rapper Jalin Roze, who has recently established a major blog presence after releasing his third project. “Me and my partner Josh La Rock started Feel Free my freshman year in college,” Adams said. “Now we’re working hard to build the label up and get it national … outside the region.” Adams said his advice for college students who have a passion for music is to put in the effort and get the resources together now, especially with social media at hand. “I didn’t have Twitter as a sophomore in college to connect with people every day; I was introduced to a blog my junior year, and now everyone has five Tumblrs,” said
Adams, who learned the “tagging photo” marketing scheme on Facebook while studying at UK. “The Internet is at your disposal,” he said. “Make quality music and stay true to yourself. There are people out there who will like your sound.” Adams calls “Tigers and Girls” versatile with elements of pop, rock, hip-hop and more. He said he wanted to show his love for music. “The title just came to my head and I put it on Facebook and a lot of people ‘liked’ my status,” he said. “As I developed the concept … it just became an interesting way of saying ‘bad girls’ and ‘good girls.’” During his time at UK, Adams identified Chester
Grundy, director of the Martin Luther King Cultural Center, and Sonya Cunningham, an adviser in the College of Nursing, as his mentors and motivators. “I had so many mentors at UK,” Adams said. “They were really helpful when it came to pursuing my dreams.” The “Tigers and Girls” album release party takes place Friday evening at Devassa Bar and Lounge at 10 p.m. Admission is $5 and a hardcopy of the album will be available for $8. The album will be available online Sunday night for free at TarikAdams.com, and the party is hosted by Lexington resident DJ Always and NYC deejay Terry Urban (Santogold, Lil’ Wayne, Coldplay).

SEC expansion presents Cats krystalball with uncertain future Picks for Saturday, Sept. 10 CODY PORTER Kernel columnist
For quite some time now, I have been plotting to write something about the impending SEC expansion. After many delays, it looks like the moment is finally here, or so it seems. Texas A&M officials had prepared an official announcement for Wednesday that would unveil their plans to become the 13th member of the Southeastern Conference. Just as they were stopped in their tracks by SEC officials a few weeks ago, the Aggies are once again being held hostage, this time by eight teams in the Big 12 that voted against their move. For the Aggies move to the SEC to go cleanly, it will require Oklahoma to stay in the Big 12, a move that will likely save the future of the conference. No SEC expansion will occur until those eight schools waive their right to pursue litigation against the SEC and Texas
A&M. Even with all the problems being presented to both parties, the move will more than likely happen. In looking ahead, the most important question is, what does this mean for the future of UK football? Notice I didn’t mention basketball there. I didn’t for good reason. The SEC is all about football; it is the conference’s breadwinner. Although basketball is considered king in the Bluegrass, football brings in approximately $13 million more than basketball, according to a report obtained by Kristi Dosh, a writer for SportsMoney on Forbes.com. That particular stat, based on the 2009-10 school year, showed that UK football had a total profit of $17,984,848. Getting back on topic, UK football could be having a severely rocky road ahead. While the Aggies will only pose a problem to those in the West, barring any realignment, the Cats will have to gain a new foe in order for the SEC to balance itself out. Already playing the role of underdog, UK will face the challenge of attempting to rise — no pun intended —
through an even stronger division in the East. Recent recruiting success has opened up head coach Joker Phillips to new pipeline states in surrounding areas, but that could come to a screeching halt. The problem lies in the fact that the impending addition of new teams will allow those teams to pitch to recruits the ability to play in the best conference against the best players in the nation. On top of that, the prospects tossed around as possible teams on the SEC’s radar have a rich history of football success. With the exception of Texas A&M, other possible additions to the SEC include the West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Missouri, Maryland and Clemson. What are Joker’s thoughts? During an Aug. 13 post-
“
practice interview, Phillips jokingly acted as if he was unaware of any talk of a possible expansion. Once on topic, Phillips told the media, “It’s not a big deal to me. If it expands, it expands, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.” By comparison, I wouldn’t expect members of Big Blue Nation to share the same sentiments as their head football coach. For fans looking for future success for the football program, this could throw a wrench into those plans unless UK gets on the fast track to taking the next step. Dating back to 2002, the Cats have finished only a high of fourth in the SEC East (four times). The inclusion of one, possibly two, more teams makes hope for a third SEC Championship, and the first since 1976, even more improbable for an evolving program.
It’s not a big deal to me. If it expands, it expands. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Joker Phillips

Cross-country runner Luis Orta will compete in the Pan American Games in October. He is originally from Caracas, Venezuela. By Paul Martin sports@kykernel.com
Luis Orta has a passion for running, and it turns out he is very good at his passion. A first place finish for the Cats’ runner capped an amazing weekend for UK’s cross country team in Nashville, Tenn. Orta’s individual time of 15:22.40 in the 5K portion of the event elevated the UK team to victory with 62 points. Four days after the win, Orta was recognized as the SEC Men’s Runner of the Week. According to Orta, credit must be delivered partially to his tough offseason training. “During the summer I race and practice in my home country of Venezuela, so I’m already in shape for the beginning of the season when I get back to UK,” Orta said.
Orta was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. He was recruited by UK after high school and decided it was the best fit for him. He then made the voyage to the United States, but it was not without difficulties. “Before I moved to Kentucky, I didn’t know very much English,” Orta said. “The transition was difficult to make, but the teachers and coaches have really helped me a lot. The support has been incredible.” It is evident that this student athlete has made much progress since arriving at UK. He is currently working on a double major in international commerce and Spanish, with a minor in Latin American Studies. Orta added with a smile, “I love Lexington; it is an awesome place. I’m happy and comfortable,
and I really appreciate the safety here. It’s a dream come true.” The future looks bright for Orta. He will compete in the Pan American Games hosted by Guadalajara, Mexico, in October. This particular event is second only to the Olympics in terms of importance to the sport of cross-country. Orta will participate in the 5K race and the 3K steeplechase event, both conducted on regular track surfaces. When asked about what Orta needs to do in preparation for the Pan American Games, UK cross country head coach Don Weber said, “What he can do is to continue to work hard and be daring on the track. He has to be willing to take risks during the race to discover his full ability and potential.” The term “team player” is tossed around loosely these days in
the current landscape of college athletics, but not when it comes to Orta. His goal for UK’s cross-country team is to compete at the top end of the SEC during the 20112012 campaign and make the playoffs at the national level. Civic duty is also on the agenda when Orta is not at the track. “Last year I did a shoe drive with teammate Josh Nadzam for less fortunate people,” Orta said. “Giving back to the community is very important to me.” UK also has Orta as an ambassador to Venezuela. Cats fans live and cheer from just about every corner of the world, including his hometown of Caracas. “Everyone back home in my family wears UK gear that I sent them,” Orta said. “They all know about UK sports.”
The UK women’s soccer team (5-0-0) welcomes the Louisville Cardinals to Lexington Friday as part of the Tropical Smoothie Invitational. Head coach Jon Lipsitz expects an electric atmosphere for one of the most intense rivalries in the country. “When I was hired here almost three years ago, I didn’t really understand what this rivalry meant, “ Lipsitz said. “But it was so loud the first time we played that my players couldn’t hear me. That environment is what we love about athletics, especially here at UK.” Louisville enters the game with a 1-3-1 record, having lost both games in its tournament last weekend against Central Michigan and Baylor — a tournament that UK won after beating both teams. But, being favored in a game of this magnitude, the excitement will be at a high level. “The mentality is always a little higher for this game,” junior forward Kelsey Hunyadi said. “We’re going to be pumped up, but at the same time we need to stay levelheaded. The excitement can be a good thing.” UK is off to its best start in 10 years. To keep that the undefeated streak going, Lipsitz says his team must continue to focus on the little things. “We have really spent the majority of the week focusing on ourselves,” Lipsitz said. “The key this early in the season is focusing on the minor details. I think we’ve done that well and will have to continue in order to beat Louisville.” The game is advertised as UK Student Night, and the first 50 UK students through the gate have a chance to win UK Nike gear. It is also the first Fraternity Challenge night. Game time is set for 7:30.
