Continuing a family legacy UK player honors family by changing name on football jersey By Annie Dunbar sports@kykernel.com
In addition to reminiscing on his time spent on the gridiron, one UK football player used his senior season to bring honor and pride to his family. Defensive tackle Michael Evans-Douglas, who is from Largo, Fla., earned a starting spot his senior season in the second year of the Mark Stoops era. Evans-Douglas finished the season with 20 solo tackles and 13 assisted tackles for a combined 33 on the season. During the peak of his football career, Evans-Douglas decided to make an addition to the name stitched on the back of his jersey. Since Evans-Douglas is his legal last name, he decided to change the back of his uniform from Douglas to EvansDouglas to represent his mother’s side of the family. He debuted the new look for the Cats’ matchup with Louisiana-Monroe on October 11. The reason behind EvansDouglas’ desire to leave his mark on the UK football program under his legal last name is derived from growing up in a single parent home. “My family means everything to me. I have a tattoo on the inside of my arm that says ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and I really feel like my family was that village,” Evans-Douglas said. That village, is an athletic one that includes his mother, Charlene Evans, his grandfather, and two great uncles. “Everybody had a piece in my upbringing,” EvansDouglas said. “I really feel like I’m truly a child that
came from a village that cares.” His grandfather, Charles Evans, and great uncle Richard Evans both played football at Virginia State while his other great uncle, Robert Evans, played Negro League baseball for the Raleigh Tigers. “They played sports back when everything was segregated,” Evans-Douglas said. Since his family played athletics when the United States was racially segregated, Evans-Douglas wanted to give them an opportunity they never had — to see their name on the back of a jersey on television. “They had college offers and played in college but it’s just something different to see your name on ESPN on the back of the jersey,” EvansDouglas said. Evans-Douglas talked to his family beforehand. They had reservations, but he decided to go through with it anyway. “My mom didn’t want me to do it at first because she was skeptical with luck. ‘You

Defensive end Michael Evans-Douglas runs a fumble recovery back for a touchdown during the second half of the game against the Louisville Cardinals at Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium on Saturday in Louisville, Ky. The Cardinals defeated the Cats 44-40.
Bad luck didn’t affect Evans-Douglas in the slightest. He was involved in two notable game changing plays during the season. The first came in the Cats’ 45-38 victory over South Carolina. He batted Gamecock quarterback Dylan Thompson’s pass into the air, which gave defensive end Bud Dupree the opportunity to snag it out of the air for a pick six. Another notable play was in UK’s season finale showdown with in-state rival Louisville. In a hostile environment at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, Dupree knocked the ball loose out of the hands of Cardinals quarterback Kyle Bolin. Evans-Douglas
scooped up the fumble and returned it for a 30-yard touchdown. Those memorable plays not only engraved EvansDouglas’ mark on the UK football program, but also gave the Evans family the opportunity to see their family name on ESPN, just like Evans-Douglas had hoped for. “They were all thrilled about it,” he said. “They were really happy just to see the name.” Ultimately, Evans-Douglas received the reaction he desired. “The real reason was to give them a sense of pride and happiness, and I think I did that,” Evans-Douglas said.

UK faces the best Coaches involved in football scuffle of every opponent By Annie Dunbar
sports@kykernel.com
In Louisville’s 44-40 win over in-state rival UK on Saturday, there was a lot of hostility between the teams, especially during warmups. Prior to kickoff, the players and coaches were involved in a scuffle at midfield. The incident involved pushing and shoving and was broken up by the officials and coaches. Kentucky Kernel photographer, Michael Reaves, was at midfield during the scuffle. Reaves said that UK’s defense ran through U of L's offensive warmup. Cardinals head coach Bobby Petrino ran over to direct players and funnel them away from each other. U of L wide receiver James Quick was one of the players taunt-
ing the Cats, acting like he was a conductor. UK running back Stanley "Boom" Williams was also taunting by mocking the iconic "L" that Cardinals fans make with their thumb and pointer finger. UK director of football operations Dan Berezowitz stepped in to try and separate the teams. Petrino pushed a UK player, then Berezowitz stepped in by pushing Petrino from the back. Petrino responded by pushing him. According to Steve Jones of the Courier-Journal, the Louisville players passed the photo around the locker room before the game. Jones noted that U of L cornerback Charles Gaines and safety Gerod Holliman said that the photo showed, "our coach has our back." Gaines also added,

Tyler Ulis (3) passes the ball during the game against Providence at Rupp Arena on Sunday. By Kyle Arensdorf karensdorf@kykernel.com
Whenever the Cats don’t perform well against lesser teams, head coach John Calipari has one standard answer. He explains that every team that comes into Rupp Arena to face the No. 1 team in the nation looks at it like it’s their ‘Super Bowl.’ Calipari is proven right with every first-half struggle the Cats face this season. And he was right again Sunday when UK Basketball faced a Providence team that was unafraid of the Cats’ length inside and had a game plan to slow down UK’s po-
tent offense. “We came here to execute a game plan,” Providence head coach Ed Cooley said after the game. “If you told me yesterday that we would come in here and hold this team to 58 points, I’d tell you we’d win the game.” The Friars were successful by switching between a man-to-man defense and a zone defense in the first half, holding the Cats to just 26 points at halftime. “They did what teams are going to try to do,” Calipari said. “They’re going to try to move the ball, they’re going to go into the shot clock and See BASKETBALL on page 3

OPINIONS
Losing a service dog is tough, but worth it I never thought I could give back my dog. As a student service dog foster, EMILY adjusting to WUETCHER life after reContributing turning a Columnist puppy you helped raise is difficult, but the joy of knowing they will provide relief for a family outweighs the pain of saying goodbye. Last Friday, with shaky hands and a heavy heart, I somehow managed to put Terra, an 8-month-old golden retriever, on a van back to Xenia, Ohio. There she will begin advanced training to become a service dog. Each semester a group of UK students welcome about 22 puppies to campus from 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains service dogs for veterans and children with disabilities. Student puppy fosters play a critical role in the de-
velopment of these puppies by helping them grow into confident, obedient and loving dogs socialized in environments they might encounter as a service dog. The dogs live with the foster full time and accompany us to restaurants, stores, movie theaters, class — anywhere we go, they go too. Bringing a dog everywhere you go can be exciting, but in a lot of ways it is like being responsible for a child—unpleasant encounters come with the territory. A normal day with Terra might have included trying to pick up liquid dog poop in front of half of the basketball team or figuring out what to do when she decided she was too afraid of traffic to move while standing in the middle of the crosswalk. Despite a few obstacles, watching Terra grow up has been the best part of my time at UK. So much so that when the inevitable “give back day” inched closer and clos-
er I wasn’t sure I could do it. Service dogs, even in training, aren’t like normal dogs. They snuggle at your feet when you’re nervous during a test and put on a happy face while you’re stressed at work. They are excited to be by your side no matter where you are. Somehow, even when you aren’t expecting it, these dogs snuggle themselves into every corner of your heart. More than anything I wish that Terra could stay with me forever. I think about what she is doing at least one hundred times a day. I still find myself checking her bed, only to realize that she’s not there and that she won’t ever be there again. But Terra has a purpose that is much bigger than me. As I mope around my apartment, there is a mom who can’t sleep through the night because she fears her
EDITORIAL
Back off, coach
In scuffle, coaches should have led by example
UK footballs’ showing Saturday against the University of Louisville resulted in countless instances of poor sportsmanship before the game even started, with the most embarrassing incident occurring between two coaches from each university. According to Kentucky Kernel photographer Michael Reaves, the incident began after the UK defensive team ran through the U of L offensive team’s warm ups after taking the field. U of L head coach Bobby Petrino directed UK players away from his team, when U of L players allegedly began directing taunts and gestures at UK players, sparking a confrontation that involved pushing and shoving between the two teams. According to a report from Yahoo Sports, the confrontation was also the result of UK
players stepping on the midfield Cardinal logo. A video from the Atlantic Coast Conference Digital Network clearly shows Petrino shoving a UK player away from U of L players. UK director of football operations Dan Berezowitz then pushed Petrino, who then clinched Berezowitz’s clothing while the two had a heated verbal exchange. Another U of L coach eventually separated them. Arguably the hardest part of this incident to swallow was the fact that several U of L players were passing around a picture taken by Reaves showing Petrino shoving Berezowitz, while making statements like “coach has our back.” It is understandable that all the facts have not yet come in on this case, and that Petrino
and Berezowitz were likely trying to protect their players. However, there is no excuse for the way they became physically violent with one another. And players need to understand that their actions on Saturday, as well as the actions of their coaches should not be condoned or encouraged. While some may chalk this whole situation up to the longstanding, heated rivalry between UK and U of L, a sports rivalry doesn’t dictate that coaches must act childish. Even though football is considered a brutal sport, there is no excuse to behave this way, on or off the field. If coaches wish for their players to act with respect and sportsmanship, then they must lead by example. And the example set on Saturday was nothing more then an embarrassment to both universities.

Dropped interception stood between UK and bowl eligibility Cats fall just short of taking Governor’s Trophy
UK was a dropped interception away from defeating Louisville and leaving JOSHUA HUFF Papa John’s Cardinal StaSports Editor dium with the Governor’s Trophy hoisted on its shoulders and a trip to a bowl game on the horizon. However, just as unpredictable as the whipping winds blowing throughout the stadium, the Cardinals turned what would typically be a routine interception into the games’ winning touchdown behind the deadly accurate arm of Louisville third-string quarterback, Kyle Bolin. “There are several plays that are really going to haunt us,” UK head coach Mark Stoops said. “And again that’s what happens. They made the plays and we came up short. We had the opportunities down the stretch and throughout the whole game, down to the bitter end there. We had opportunities to change the game.” No bigger opportunity came than when Bolin threw a deep ball to DeVante Parker late in the fourth with UK holding onto a slim threepoint lead. Parker fell down as the ball soared over his head into the waiting arms of UK’s Marcus McWilson. But,
almost as a testament to how UK’s season has gone, the ball slipped through his hands giving Louisville the ball back with less than five minutes to play in the game. The Cardinals proceeded to march into the end zone, taking the lead and the game, 44-40. “Big time players have got to make plays,” UK senior Bud Dupree said about the dropped interception. One player who didn’t make plays for UK was its own quarterback Patrick Towles. Towles was an anemic 14-for-29 with two interceptions, no touchdowns and failed to steer the Cats down the field on a potentially game-winning drive with less than two minutes left in the game. His poor play resulted in the coaches nearly yanking him for backup Reese Phillips. “There are throws and there are plays that he has to be better at,” Stoops said. “You know, the easy, the quick throws and the plays that we’re counting on that are an extension of our run game that has to be on the money.” Missed reads, shoe-tip throws and the inability to throw the ball down the field early in the game doomed the Cats as the offense once again road the coattails of a defense who had to contend
with the unlikeliest of players, Bolin. With Louisville’s starting quarterback, Reggie Bonnafon, injured early in the second quarter, unheralded three-stringer Bolin took over the reins down 13-0 and on his second pass threw a 45yard bomb to Parker for the first of Bolin’s three touchdowns. However, as any thirdstringer would, Bolin made mistakes. An interception and fumble, which were both ran in for touchdowns by UK, kept the Cats alive. UK’s inability to remain consistent on offense sends UK home with a long offseason looming. “This is going to be with us until we strap it up again in August,” Towles said. “So this is going to be real motivating for the weight room and stuff like that.” So the story ends for a UK team that started off the season with unprecedented success and finished the season riding a six-game losing streak with the last loss coming against UK’s biggest rival. “It sucks,” Towles said, “It sucks, growing up a Kentucky fan this is the game you grow up dreaming about playing. We had an opportunity and I didn’t get it done today and we’ve got to go back to work. So I will get it done next year.”

Dupree said that the incident was part of a "friendly rivalry." Defensive tackle Michael Evans-Douglas added "just a sibling rivalry, just brothers pushing each other around. It comes with any rivalry like you all saw last night with Virginia Tech and Virginia. It's
the same thing, bad blood.” UK head coach Mark Stoops said he wasn't sure what happened but "obviously, I didn't see the whole melee and all that. You know, I think emotions run high in this game. It was a hard fought football game."
dence field goal for the final 7:41 of the first half, and after making seven of its first 10 shots, Providence shot a dismal 4-for-29 the rest of the way. One player’s defense in particular grabbed the attention of both coaches — freshman point guard Tyler Ulis. “Very rarely do you see a guy walk in and just change the game,” Calipari said. “Like, change the whole flow of it. And (Ulis) did that today.” Cooley even called him the “key” to the Cats’ victory. “You couldn’t get into an offensive flow,” he said. “I
thought his ball pressure when (UK) made their run was the key to this entire game.” Ulis didn’t have a spectacular offensive game (scoring only six points on 3-for-6 shooting), but came up with three steals at opportune times and played lock-down defense on Providence’s Kris Dunn, who had 10 turnovers on the day. “You’re almost pushing off to keep this kid away from you, and then it makes us more confident defenders behind him,” Calipari said. “So now we’re taking some chances.”
