COST OF SPEECH Robert Sanford, 45, a protester in the Occupy Cincinnati movement, holds a sign in front of a statue of James A. Garfield in Piatt Park in downtown Cincinnati Sunday. Cincinnati Police resumed handing out $105 citations to protesters Friday despite claims that they would not cite occupiers because they wanted to see how other cities were handling protesters. Piatt Park protesters have been handed 140 citations since their occupation began, totaling to $14,700 in fines.

The Midwest region is gaining another player in bone marrow transplants. University Hospital is in the process of starting a new bone marrow-transplant program that will give patients in need of transplants another option for where they want to have their surgery. Currently, there are only two hospitals in the greater Cincinnati area that perform marrow transplants — Jewish Hospital and Children’s Hospital. Children’s only offers transplants for children. The program at the University of Cincinnati’s Hospital will focus adults and is expected to start officially accepting patients in mid-November, said Amanda Harper, Spokeswoman for Academic Health Center Public Relations and Communications. The surgical procedures will be done at University Hospital and outpatient appointments will be at the Barrett Cancer Center. The first transplants performed at University Hospital will be autologous, injecting a person’s stem cells back into
Despite a call from the Cincinnati Police chief to halt citing “Occupy Cincinnati” protesters Thursday, the occupiers have received more than 100 citations totalling $14,700 in fines since Oct. 8. Protester who refused to leave the partk after 10 p.m. Friday were cited $105 each, although no citations were issued Thursday night, according to the Occupy Cincinnati website. “We were not shocked. Police came down and told us if we did not leave, we would be cited,” said Kristin Brand, 39, an organizer for Occupy Cincinnati. “No conflicts — cops and protesters were peaceful.” CPD Chief James Craig said he made a call Thursday to not fine protesters demonstrating in Piatt Park after hours. “At this point, it was prudent for a lot of reasons not to cite and continue the evaluation, which we did and are continuing to do,” Craid said. “We are going to be patient and practical.” The decision was partially made in order to give police the opportunity to see how other cities around the country were handling similar protests, Craig said. Last week, 50 Occupy Phoenix protesters were arrested in Arizona, while 175 occupiers were arrested in Chicago Sunday, according to the AZ Central and the Chicago Sun-Times, respectively. Meanwhile, the Occupy Cincinnati protest has been in motion for more than one week, with occupiers camping out in tents lined up in the park. The protesters said they believe they have the right to be in the park — a public place — and convene in a democratic fashion, Brand said. “We are here to get the money out of Wall Street, to get corporations out of the influence of our government, and have our government represent us,” she said. “We want our votes to mean something.” The decision to not give citations Thursday invigorated protesters, Brand said. Protesters at Piatt Park have received 140 citations since the start of the protest last Saturday, totaling $14,700 in fines, according to the organization’s website. Organizers are in the legal process of trying to appeal the citations and have pleaded not guilty to the citations, Brand said. “It has been difficult to focus on our mission when we are dealing with the logistics of these citations,” Brand said. “It has been a daily stress, and we are still working to get our message out there.” Occupiers will continue protesting indefinitely until they start seeing changes and their voices heard, Brand said.
their own blood stream. Transplants such as these are usually for people who have gone through chemotherapy; the stem cells are extracted before radiation treatment and then injected after treatment. After these are completed, the program can move on to transplants between two separate people, but the progression to more advanced transplants will take multiple years. Similar transplants — and several more complicated ones — are already performed at Jewish Hospital — which reports that in they conducted 138 marrow transplants in 2010. While the new program at UC hopes to increase the total number of transplants performed in the region, it will also give another option to those outside the Cincinnati area. The National Marrow Donor Program, a non-profit organization that helps people find donors and receive transplants, shows that there are only seven marrow transplant centers in the entire state SEE MARROW | 5

COLLEGE LIVING FRESH Bearcats pep up homecoming

BRITTANY WEIR
Bearkitten offers fresh perspective
Fellow freshmen, I have two questions for all of you: One, are you as sleep-deprived as I am? Two, could you just not care less? I figure that if both answers are no, we must be doing something right. I don’t know how you spent your summer, but mine was pretty quiet — sometimes pathetically so, actually. I come from one of those quiet Ohio towns where the latest in entertainment was hanging out at the pool or riding the tricycles around Walmart until you were kicked out. Nightlife required at least a 15-minute drive and parents who were either very lenient or extremely sound sleepers — mine happen to be neither). I always suspected college would be different, but before I was thrown into the swing of things at the beginning of the year, I had no idea how busy my days would get. That being said, I’m not a crazy partier in the typical sense. I haven’t been to a frat party yet — though I am sure I’ll eventually get around to it. My first real night at UC consisted of playing Apples to Apples with a group of people from my floor. That’s one of the truly great things about campus — parties are just one option in the grand spectrum of fun at your fingertips. I have never had so much to do both in and out of the classroom — from student organizations or just impromptu games of“Ninja at Night”in the middle of campus. Coffee has become my new best friend, and I have jolted awake in the middle of a lecture class on more than one occasion, but I wouldn’t change a thing about this new lifestyle. We come to college to learn (well, most of us), and I feel compelled to share several of the most important things I have learned so far. Fear not, none of them actually have to do with classes. I save that for talking with my mother. In fact, the greatest lessons I’ve learned thus far have nothing to do with my classroom experiences. For example, I’ve learned that if you are living in dorms, it’s important to get to know the people on your floor. Like I said, the first night here, I got into an extremely lively game of Apples to Apples with a group of 15 people living on the ninth floor of Daniels Hall, including our RA. Since then, I’ve heard that we are considered one of the most social floors in the entire building. I have spent countless nights sitting in the lounge, listening to life stories, blushing as I answer embarrassing questions during Truth or Dare, and sticking black construction tape over the lights for movie night. Every once in a while, I even attempt to study. These people have become some of my closest friends in a matter of just weeks. They are people I know I can turn to, whether I’ve accidentally locked myself out of the room wearing just a towel, am in desperate need of a PopTart, or if I need to head over to Kroghetto at 11 p.m. (Public Service Announcement Time: Never ever attempt a Kroger run after dark by yourself. I don’t care if you are 6-foot 5-inches with a black belt in karate, going it alone is like wearing a placard around your neck that says “Mug Me.”) It’s beyond cheesy, but sometimes the group of friends I’ve made at college feels more like a (somewhat dysfunctional) family. We’ve even taken to calling our RA “Dad”, much to his dismay at times. The moral of the story is, make sure to introduce yourself to people. Put effort into finding your group because this will be one of the last times you are guaranteed a group of people who understand your situation. We’re all college students, and occasionally that necessitates some peer therapy. Another important freshman lesson is,“just say yes.” I’m not talking about illegal substances. I’m talking about getting out of your room and taking a chance on that fencing club your roommate has been bugging you to try with him or her. Just say yes to volunteering at the library or even just heading out to Skyline at midnight because the odds are in favor that you will have fun. It’s cliché but true — the things you will regret the most are the things you never tried at all. In the few weeks I have been at UC, I have been all over the place: yoga classes, SEE FRESH | 5

The University of Cincinnati main campus exploded with school spirit this past weekend as the homecoming festivities ensued. The festivities were in celebration of UC’s “A Rivercity Homecoming” football game, which took place on Oct. 15 at Paul Brown Stadium against the longtime UC rival University of Louisville Cardinals. The celebration kicked off on with the UC 2011 homecoming parade, which began on Calhoun Ave. and continued onto the intersection of Clifton and Martin Luther King Drive on Friday, Oct. 14. Greater Cincinnati high school marching bands and floats handcrafted by UC students filled Clifton streets and captured the crowd’s attention.

First year biology student Vicky Nguyen said that this being her first homecoming experiences was an exciting one. “The parade was very loud and energetic,” she said. “My favorite part was seeing Lucy the bearcat. I couldn’t believe it. She was so cute.” The parade preceded a pep rally open to all UC students and alumni at Sigma Sigma Commons. The rally was hosted by 1819 Alumni Organization, which put together a true Cincinnati-style event complete with Queen City staples including free Skyline, Graeter’s cookies and Christian Moerlein beer samples.

University of Cincinnati students kicked off homecoming week by lacing up their running shoes – and not much else — to take a lap around campus for a good cause. The Cincinnatus Honorary Society asked participants to donate $5 or a winter article of clothing to Saint Vincent DePaul in exchange for a chance to streak across campus for the fifth annual Nearly Naked Mile.
Cincinnatus President Joe Doerger said that this year’s event boasted its largest turn out to date. “More than 450 participants ran this year,” Doerger said. “It was definitely even more than we anticipated. I think people definitely enjoyed a chance to celebrate homecoming in such a fun way, and it also gave students a chance to support their school and do something charitable.” Kiss 107, UC Student Government, and Provost Santa Ono

showed their support by sponsoring the race, which marked the start of homecoming week at UC. Ono showed his support by running the Nearly Naked Mile (fully clothed) alongside students. “This is a great way for UC to give back while showing school spirit,” Ono said. “It’s also a great way to kick off the school year and homecoming.” To thank its nearly naked participants, Cincinnatus awarded iPod shuffles to their first male and female winners to complete the race around campus, as well as to the most spirited runner in the pack. First-year nursing student Luke Pohlman was the first to streak across the finish line. “It’s a good cause and a good addition to anyone’s freshman experience,” Pohlman said. “Pain is never fun, but running nearly naked for charity is awesome.” Rebecca Matthews, a fourth-
year medical engineering student followed close behind. “It’s sort of become my tradition every year,” said Matthews, who was the first female to finish the mile.“It’s a good cause, and it’s just fun.” The award for “Most Spirited,” went to Marissa Carducci, a fourthyear accounting student who went “above and beyond just underwear and captured the most school spirit,” Doerger said. “Being free spirited is my thing,” Carducci said. “I dress up and paint up like this for every single football game and school event. It’s definitely my way of having fun.” Thanks to the UC students who showed up in their boxers, briefs, and bras for a good cause, Cincinnatus was able to raise $1,300 for St. Vincent DePaul, plus barrels winter articles of clothing. Streaking across campus had never been more charitable.
Bringing suicide prevention into light
KARA DRISCOLL | STAFF REPORTER
A hush fell over McMicken Commons as more than 1,000 people observed a moment of silence for those lost to suicide. “With every step, we make a difference. Please release your balloons and begin your walk of healing and hope,” said Sara Danks, the “Out of the Darkness” Suicide Prevention Walk coordinator. With those words, thousands of colorful balloons were whisked away, floating above campus while “Beautiful Day” by U2 left a harmonious noise in the background. The sight left tears in the eyes of some and smiles across the faces of others. The group began their walk around campus, symbolizing a united front against the ugly truth that too many lives are taken by suicide. Sponsored by the Cincinnati chapter of The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the walk was meant to bring mental illnesses, suicide statistics and suicide prevention initiatives to the forefront of the minds of those in attendance. “The two functions of the event
is to create awareness of the prevalence of suicide and to give support to many grieving families,” said Joan Wyler, who serves on the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation Board of Trustees. Wyler explained that many families feel a personal blame as if the death could’ve been avoided. “It’s a unique grief process and because of the stigma associated with suicide, family and friends are often left feeling alone,” said Dank. The “Out of the Darkness” Walk brings a community together to remember their loved ones not for how they necessarily died, but for the lives they lived. Kathy LaDow wore a white shirt that sported a picture of a younger man. The man who appeared on her shirt was the son-inlaw of her good friend, Janice Mayer. They walked in the event to commemorate the life of the man who would’ve celebrated his 20th marriage anniversary this year. “I walk to raise awareness and to hopefully prevent someone from doing the act,” LaDow said.

Halloween style goes Hollywood
Halloween, one of my favorite times of the year, is upon us, and while no one in college trickor-treats anymore, there’s still plenty of reasons to be excited. There are scary movies on television all month long, girls wearing skimpy costumes and pumpkin carving. There’s also the fact that it’s not 90 degrees anymore, there are haunted houses, and, oh yeah, the parties. Before you decide which party to go to, the most important decision is which costume you’re you going to wear. Sure, you can throw on a jersey and say you’re a football player, or you can opt not dress up at all and say you’re a college student; but trust me, you don’t want to be that guy. I’ve been that guy. Nobody likes that guy. That said, going to the Halloween store and buying a mask is not the solution. First of all, while masks may look cool, remember that you have to wear it all night. I’ve never met a mask that didn’t make me sweat buckets after five minutes. And let’s not forget about the drinking. How does lifting up that mask every five minutes to take a drink sound? A really good Halloween costume can’t just be bought at the store. A really good costume has to be pieced together from all the useless crap you have lying around in the dorm room, as well as maybe one or two trips to the Salvation Army. The king or queen of Halloween costumes usually takes inspiration from the gallows of popular culture. Still need a costume idea? Look to the movies for a number of fun and easy costume ideas:

ULTRA” was his first real chance to shine as a solo artist, however, and shine is exactly what he did. Ocean’s choices of beats on “nostalgia, ULTRA” are eclectic to say the least. He goes from sampling “Hotel California” by classic rock legends The Eagles on “American Wedding,” to sampling indie pop hit “Electric Feel” by MGMT on the next song, “Nature Feels.” Although this sounds like a hard task for any artist to pull off, Ocean takes these great songs and gives them new life. On his breakout hit, “Novacane”, Ocean shows his comedic side as he bellows, “She says she wants to be a dentist really badly/ She’s in school paying/for tuition doing porn in the valley/At least she’s working.” He continues to use his humor again on “Songs for Women”, where he describes how the object of his affection ditches his music for the likes of Drake and Trey Songz.

Do you remember when artists used to write their own songs? Yeah, me neither. How about when musicians used to put real feeling and effort into their music? Seems like a thing of the past, right? Wrong.

Since the release of Ocean’s album, which can be downloaded for free from Odd Future’s Tumblr, Ocean has been featured on tracks not only on Beyonce’s new album “4,” but also Jay-Z and Kanye West’s masterpiece “Watch The Throne.” To the untrained ear, Frank Ocean sounds like an overnight success story, but Ocean has been writing pop songs for a while now. He’s written songs for artists such as Justin Bieber, Brandy and John Legend. “nostalgia,

Charlie Sheen
After winning for way too long and being roasted on Comedy Central, Sheen-Mania has about run its course. Definitely don’t show up to your Halloween party with khakis and a “Two and a Half Men” bowling shirt, unless you want to see eight other people there with the same costume. Instead, mine the well of Sheen’s surprisingly impressive resume to find some other decent costume choices. Grab some nerdy looking black framed glasses and a Cleveland Indians hat, tape the number 99 on the back of your shirt, and there’s Ricky “Wild Thing”Vaughn from the sports classic “Major League.”
“The Shining”
For this Jack Nicholsonstarring classic you just need to paint a small piece of poster board so it looks like a door that you’ve smashed your head through. A fake hatchet is optional, but yelling “Heeeeeeeere’s Johhhhhhhhny” at the top of your lungs all night long isn’t.
“The Big Lebowski”
One of the greatest cult films of all time, Jeff Bridges’ potsmoking bowler is an easy fix. A beige bathrobe, a grimy t-shirt, sunglasses and some pajama pants is all it takes to become The Dude for Halloween while a few joints and a White Russian drink are optional accessories. Don’t think that’s a good costume idea? “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
Bill Murray
Go “Ghost Busters” with a buddy or “Caddyshack” if you’re on your own. Crazy hair might be required, but whatever the costume, when someone asks you who you are, make sure you say, “Bill Fucking Murray.”

name from 1973. Audience participation is a tradition of “RHPS,” following along with the movie and play. Frequent attendees learn the catch phrases quickly and get the complete experience that makes the show considerably more fun every time. “RHPS” is performed in a movie theater because as the movie plays, the actors will run through the aisles performing their own rendition. There are numerous phrases and comments the audience will shout at the movie in a heckling manner, and they’re even encouraged to bring props and use those at appropriate moments. If you feel like shouting a line that’s not a part of the original heckling, go for it. The audiences love random, witty and obvious humor designed to belittle the movie. The live performers will interact with the audience as they make their way through the aisles, and virgins are usually picked to perform small roles.
I lost my virginity around 12:01 a.m. Sunday at Esquire Theatre; my “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” virginity, that is. As a “RHPS” noob, I had a capital “V” drawn in lipstick on my face. I knew not one single phrase or motion that went along with the traditional audience participation. I highly enjoyed myself at “RHPS,” however, and if you’ve never been to this show, you should get yourself a ticket. First of all, the movie is absolutely ridiculous. It ends in a completely different way than it began, and — spoiler alert — not even one personal struggle of any character gets solved. If, for some reason, you haven’t heard of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” the film came out in 1975 as an adaptation to the theatrical performance by the same

As a first-time observer of this wellknown performance, the ordered chaos of “RHPS” was delightful and refreshing. The audience heckled the screenplay, the actors pantomimed around all sides, and that terrible movie played on. To possess the finesse of those who know every moment by heart, start to finish, one must become a devoted patron and love the culture. References to Beatles songs, Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson popped up at various times throughout the show and made the experience relatable and hilarious. If men in corsets (or Tim Curry) offend you, “Rocky Horror” might not be your ideal Friday night. If Tim Curry also represents the goodness of “Spamalot”or“Home Alone 2”for you, however, I highly doubt you will be disappointed by the many antics of “Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Senior defensive back Dominique Battle intercepted the ball on Louisville’s first possession, but the Cats were unable to take advantage of the turnover and were forced to punt the ball away. Following another scoreless Cardinals’ possession, the Bearcat offense came together. With a seven-play 54-yard drive, capped by a one-yard rushing touchdown from Collaros, the Bearcats cut the lead to two.

FROM OCEANS | 4 undertones, though. On tracks like “There Will be Tears”, “We All Try”, and “Swim Good”, Ocean lets the listener into some of the pains and heartbreaks he has been through, including growing up without a father and losing a lover. Although he is very candid on many of his songs, Ocean doesn’t come off as cheesy or cliché at any point on this record. His “heart-on-my-sleeve” brand of R&B brings a refreshing taste to a genre that had gone stagnant. Overall, Ocean has made one
of the best and innovate R&B collections of the last 10 years. He masterfully mixes deep, insightful tracks with pop-rap hits that would make this CD enjoyable for any fan of hip-hop or R&B. Some say that Ocean is Odd Future’s equivalent to Young Money’s Drake. If this is true, “Drizzy” needs to find a new profession before he gets caught up and washed away in the rising wave that is Frank Ocean.

penalties, and the crowd at Paul Brown became what Jones referred to as the Bearcats’ “12th man.” “I thought the key momentum switch was the drive in the second half when they had about three or four penalties,” Jones said. “The crowd started really getting loud, and it was deafening.” On the second play of the Bearcats’ first drive of the 4th quarter, senior running back Isaiah Pead rushed 50 yards for a touchdown — his sixth straight game with a rushing touchdown. Cincinnati then surprised the crowd by going for and converting a two-point attempt, which put the Bearcats ahead, 22-16.

WEININ’ SAM WEINBERG
TCU: way to waste $5 million
Texas Christian University is to the Big East what Benedict Arnold was to the United States during the American Revolution — a backstabbing traitor. TCU’s commitments are more false than a pair of dentures, and the school’s move to join the Big 12 conference is dumber than TCU’s mascot — a horned frog. But you know what? Good riddance. The Big East doesn’t need them anyway. It’s TCU’s loss for not joining, and I’ll tell you why. First, the Horned Frogs will never — repeat — never win the Big 12 conference. Wasn’t getting into a conference where they could get an automatic bid to a Bowl Conference Subdivision game the entire point of their move in the first place? Well, theoretically, they certainly can get an automatic bid in the Big 12, but there’s a better chance of Butch Jones getting through a press conference without using the phrase “coach speak” than that happening. Oklahoma, Texas and Oklahoma State: Three perennial powerhouses that TCU now has to play — and beat, if they want that coveted BCS bid — every single year. That’s not even mentioning Texas Tech and Baylor, whom the Horned Frogs couldn’t even defeat this season. Hell, they couldn’t even beat Southern Methodist University. TCU’s philosophy for leaving the Big East and joining the Big 12 was that stiffer competition would bring in better recruits. Nope. Wrong again. The Horned Frogs’ top recruits in their 2012-13 class told Dallas’ Star-Telegram that conference affiliation and the level of competition had little, if any, impact on their college commitment. You know what they said did have an impact? Winning. Something TCU won’t be doing much of in the Big 12. Now name three perennial powerhouses in the Big East. You can’t, because there aren’t any. Sure, Cincinnati is looking pretty good this season, and West Virginia is ranked in the top 15, but there is never a consistently good Big East team year after year. The teams in the conference are more up and down than a woman with PMS. The Horned Frogs very well could have made the Big East their stomping grounds. A lower level of competition would mean more wins for TCU, which in turn means more national coverage, better recruits and a much easier path to a BCS bowl game — all things most schools would drool over. Unfortunately for TCU, they threw all of that away. They’re going to be playing harder teams in the Big 12, which means more losses and a loss of those coveted Texas recruits to better regional schools like Oklahoma and Texas. With TCU’s dash away from the Big East, the conference is now in limbo. There are currently only six football-playing schools — one short of the seven needed to garner an automatic BCS bid. To replace the traitorous Frogs, the Big East is looking at Army, Navy, East Carolina University, and most importantly, Boise State. The Broncos have the opportunity to swoop in and claim TCU’s prize — an invite to a conference that’s ripe for the picking. Let’s be honest, if Boise State comes to the Big East, they’re going to run it. They’ll have an easy path to an annual BCS game, while TCU with Iowa State will be getting stomped on as the doormats of the Big 12. How awesome would it have been to have both TCU and Boise State in the Big East though? Two potential powerhouses that are already somewhat rivals. That rivalry could have budded into something truly spectacular and fierce, bringing great national coverage to both teams and the conference. That’s just another thing TCU lost, however, by ditching the Big East. Who do the Horned Frogs think can form a rivalry within the Big 12? Texas? That would be more one-sided than the UC-Miami (OH) rivalry, and that’s saying something. As seems to be the deciding factor in all college football — from Brian Kelly to (allegedly) Cecil Newton — TCU’s decision was all about the money. Currently, the Big 12 has a revenue sharing plan that gives each team around $20 million each year, and that’s expected to grow in 2013 when the conference’s 13-year contract with Fox Sports begins.

Cincy loses 1-0 in overtime WOMEN’S SOCCER

In continuation of the their must-win scenario, the University of Cincinnati Bearcats fell to the Rutgers University Scarlet Knights 1-0 in overtime Sunday afternoon at Gettler Stadium, ending UC’s playoff chances.

ball in their attacking end for most of the first half. The Knights’ sloppy and mistake-prone play led to multiple scoring opportunities for the Bearcats in the first half, however, they were unable to finish any of their shots or corner kicks. At halftime, the Bearcats led 8-5 in shots and 3-0 in corner kicks. UC freshman forward Mackenzie Grause led all players with four shots. After her career-best two-goal, four-shot-performance Friday, UC midfielder Logan Ballinger was targeted by Rutgers’ defense, which knocked her to the ground numerous times throughout the game and limited her scoring chances. Rutgers seemed content to coast through the game, just trying to hang on to its sixth place ranking in the national division of the Big East conference. The Knights’ lackadaisical and rushed style of play yielded few threatening scoring opportunities and only six shots on cage. Rutgers’ head coach Glenn Crooks was looking for any combination of players that could deviate from the team’s poor play, and he tried seven subs throughout the game, but
found success with none of them. He also chose to start second-string goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins, who finished with six saves, rather than former Big East goalkeeper of the Week Jessica Janosz. At the end of the second half, Cincinnati led 19-9 in shots and 6-0 in corner kicks. “We had a lot of good goal scoring opportunities. You can’t keep teams around — you’ve got to bury your opportunities,” said UC head coach Michelle Salmon. “We created the chances to win this game today. We just didn’t finish it.” Three minutes into overtime, the seemingly lifeless Knights were able to sneak a shot past Utley to end the game and the Bearcats’ playoff hopes. Cincinnati’s freshman goalkeeper Kristina Utley had another strong outing with five saves. “She’s done a great job all year. There’s nothing she can do on that [shot]. Their player just did an outstanding job finishing it, and it was poor defending on our part,” Salmon said. The Bearcats finished the game leading in shots 20-11. The Bearcats will conclude their season Saturday when they take on Louisville at 7 p.m. at Gettler Stadium. SAM GREENE | MANAGING EDITOR

Cats take Keg of Nails for fourth consecutive year BRITTANY YORK | SPORTS EDITOR
T
he Bearcats proved they’re as tough as nails Saturday in a 25-16 come-from-behind win against the University of Louisville Cardinals at Paul Brown Stadium. Saturday’s homecoming game marked the fourth consecutive year that the Bearcats have outplayed their rivals to secure possession of the Keg of Nails. Cincinnati’s offense got off to a slow start, producing no points in the first quarter. “We did not play our best football — especially in the first half,” said UC head coach Butch Jones. “We start the game off with a procedure penalty [then the] second series, we fumble the kick, sack and block a punt. Third series, we catch them in man, drop the ball; and it could have been a big play. Everything snowballed.” The Bearcat defense kept the Cardinals from pulling too far away, however, holding them to two field goals in the first quarter to make the score 6-0. Senior defensive lineman Derek Wolfe played especially well with a couple of career-bests — 11 tackles and 2.5 tackles for a loss. The Cats remained scoreless throughout most of the second quarter as well. With 5:01 remaining in the half, however, Cincinnati put its first points on the board with a 26-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Zach Collaros to senior wide receiver DJ Woods, giving the Bearcats a 7-6 lead. Unfortunately for the Cats, their lead proved to be short-lived. After a 58-yard pass from Cardinals’ quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to wide receiver Eli Rogers, UofL was at the Cincinnati 10-yard line. The Bearcats’ defense stepped up and forced a goal-line stand, but the Cards put up three more points with an 18-yard field goal to make the score 9-7 with 2:54 remaining in the half. Leading into the half, Cincinnati seemed to be moving the ball.

THE SENIOR’S KEG The Bearcats’ seniors have never seen the Keg of Nails outside of the Lindner Center. UofL hasn’t won the keg since 2007. Cincy had three first downs in two minutes; and with 27 seconds remaining in the half, they were at the 50-yard line. Their drive came to an end just nine seconds later when the Cardinals picked off a pass from Collaros and ran it back 63 yards for a touchdown to extend their lead to 16-7 at halftime. Collaros said the team was not worried, despite its poor offensive performance in the first half. “There was no panic. No panic at all,” Collaros said. “We have great leadership on this team, especially from the senior class; and we just came in here and looked each other in the eye and said ‘we’re SEE KEG | 5
MEN’S SOCCER
UC gets season’s first Big East win
SAM MORREN | STAFF WRITER
The University of Cincinnati men’s soccer team came out with a 2-1 win against Villanova Saturday night at Gettler Stadium. The Bearcats took the lead on the seventh minute of the match and continued their first-half dominance with a second goal on the 20th minute. UC’s first goal of the match came when midfielder Mike Brizz found forward Cole DeNormandie who slotted the shot to the lower left to beat Villanova keeper John Fogerty and add his sixth goal of the season. The Bearcats continued their steady attack on Villanova’s goal, and, in the 20th minute, Shamar Shelton found the back of net with a goal assisted by Will Dielbold, who showed his skills with a touch pass-back that dismantled Villanova’s back line. Shelton took the ball to the right line and with his left foot, drilled the shot to the far post to beat Fogerty and give the Bearcats a 2-0 lead.
As the second half got on its way, the Bearcats continued their attack on the Villanova goal. In the 55th minute of the game, however, Villanova’s Whalen Ryan found some space along the right flant and cut a pass back to the left flank where Dilan Renna broke through the UC backline and finished the attack with a rocket shot that sailed past UC goalie Taylor Halfing for Villanova’s only goal of the match. Halfing finished the game with five saves, and both teams finished with six shots on goal. The win marked Cincinnati’s first Big East victory of the season and helped the Bearcats improve to 5-8-1, and 1-4-0 in conference play for the season. The win also helped Cincinnati continue its unbeaten streak against Villanova, with UC now leading the series 6-0-1. The Bearcats will try for their second conference win when they welcome DePaul to Gettler Stadium at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
