PLAYING BY THE RULES NCAA president delivers keynote address at sports summit
BY WILLIAM TAYLOR POTTER @wmtaylorpotter Speaking to a room packed with journalism students and media professionals, NCAA President Mark Emmert said the 2016 presidential race has been reported like one long sports event. “Finally, next Tuesday, we’ll know the final score,” Emmert said. Emmert spoke in the LSU Manship School of Mass Communication’s Holliday Forum as part of the Sports Communication Summit. The summit, which also included various sports journalists and former athletes, was designed to explore the dynamic relationship between sports and the media, according to a news release. Emmert delivered the summit’s keynote address before speaking on “The Jim Engster Show,” recorded in the Holliday Forum. To open his speech, Emmert said the longstanding sports reporting style has started to take over newspapers’ reporting — even on topics such as business, education and politics. The former University chancellor said a large part of that shift comes from the audience’s desire to have topics and issues simplified. Emmert said the sports reporting style gives the reader a clear winner and loser, though it is not a perfect comparison. He pointed to the issue in Syria as an example. “It’s not two adversaries competing,” Emmert said. “It’s like people in the middle of the game change jerseys, and then all of the sudden they play for a different side now.” Emmert also mentioned the drama surrounding former LSU Basketball star Ben Simmons, who recently spoke out against the NCAA’s one-and-done rule. Emmert emphasized that the rule is not part of the NCAA rulebook, but was put in place by the NBA. On the air with Engster, he voiced his dislike for the rule. “That rule is something I’ve made no

ESPN College Gameday moves to Quad BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano
ESPN’s morning pre-game show, College Gameday, returns to campus Saturday for its first-ever broadcast from the University’s Quadrangle. ESPN’s College Football Live is set to broadcast from the Quad Friday at 12:30 p.m., and College Gameday will air from 8-11 a.m. Saturday prior to LSU’s 7 p.m. kickoff against Alabama. This marks the pre-game show’s 11th on-campus broadcast, and the Tigers’ 26th appearance on the show. In the past, the show has been broadcast from the PMAC, the Old Front Nine and, most popularly, the Parade Ground, according to University associate athletic director Michael Bonnette. The last three College Gameday campus appearances in 2009, 2012 and 2014, were hosted from the Parade Ground. Saturday’s appearance was also originally scheduled to take place on the Parade Ground, but a scheduling conflict with an LSU Salutes Hall of Honor recognition ceremony led the University to relocate College Gameday. The LSU Board of Supervisors established LSU Salutes in 1998 to honor distinguished University veterans, mandating an official University observance be held during the November home football game closest to Veterans Day.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Fall election results announced, resolution passes BY TREY COUVILLION @trey_couv
LSU Student Government announced its 2016 fall general election results on Wednesday in Coates Hall. The annual election was held this past Monday on Moodle, with most students on the ballot vying for spots in SG’s Legislative Branch. Along with a total of 37 Senate seats up for grabs, a resolution to reappropriate graduate students’ Senate seats for undergraduate students was on the ballot. The resolution passed with 83
percent approval. While most vacancies were filled in the general election, some candidates will face off in a runoff election next Monday, Nov. 7. One of the new Senate members from the E. J. Ourso College of Business, sophomore David Conroy said he felt great after hearing the news of his election. “It feels pretty good that my peers had enough confidence in me to vote me into office,” Conroy said. “I’m hoping that I will be able to do a good job and further improve LSU.”

SUMMIT, from page 1 secret about how much I personally dislike it,” Emmert said on the show. “It creates a farce of being a student athlete for far too many students.” In his speech, Emmert said people often assume his job is similar to those of the NFL and NBA commissioners, though he said his responsibilities were slightly more extensive. The NBA commissioner oversees 30 teams, while the NCAA has around 19,000. At the same time, Emmert said he is not the one who creates the rules for the league. Instead, the
responsibility falls to heads of the schools and a committee within the NCAA. He addressed several issues involving the NCAA, including concussions, time commitments and paying college athletes. Emmert spent a large portion of his time pointing out the complex problems associated with paying student athletes. “They don’t want to turn student athletes into paid employees,” Emmert said. “If I’m going to go out and hire someone to play football for me, why in the world would I hire a 17-year-old? Why wouldn’t I hire someone who just finished up his NFL career?”
COLLEGE GAMEDAY, from page 1 Skule, said the University decided the rowdy environment typically found at College Gameday wasn’t conducive to preserving the more sedate, respectful atmosphere of the ceremony. The University didn’t want to disrespect the veterans and honorees, he said. Gurie said the ceremony has always received the support of Tiger fans, and they’ve rarely experienced instances of tailgaters disrupting the ceremony. The fans are respectful, and wait until the ceremony concludes to set up their tailgates and begin
partying for the day, he said. The ceremony, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., will include a 21gun salute, a wreath laying, a rendition of the national anthem and the Cadets of the Ole War Skule’s annual assembly, a formal parade and review of the University’s cadets. The honorees will also be recognized and will later enjoy lunch with their families in the PMAC before being honored on the field during pre-game, Gurie said. Hall of Honor inductees are selected based on their contributions to the University and local community, and their success in the military and civilian sectors.

BY JOURDAN RILEY @jourdanr_TDR
LSU’s defense preps for balanced, potent Alabama offense BY JOSH THORNTON @JoshuaThornton_ LSU’s defensive backs will have their hands full versus Alabama wideout Calvin Ridley, cornerback Tre’Davious White said. Last season, White wasn’t matched up much with Ridley, but he remembers the 6-foot-1, 188-pound receiver well. He’s quick and instinctive, White said. “He’s a great route runner,” the senior said. “We’re going to have our hands full as a defensive backfield trying to cover that guy.” Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin shifts Ridley to different spots on the field on many occasions — sometimes in the slot or split out wide. Ridley, who is averages 11 yards per catch, caught seven passes for 51 yards last season in Tuscaloosa when LSU was defeated 30-16. Sophomore cornerback Donte Jackson echoed the same sentiments as White about stopping Ridley. It’s going to take extra preparation to stop him, they said. “We always do a lot of game planning for a good receiver. He’s a great receiver,” Jackson said of Ridley. “We have to keep our eyes on him and read our keys on him and just be ready for whatever they do.” This season, Ridley is Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts’ primary target with 43 receptions for 504 yards and five touchdowns. Senior defensive back Dwayne Thomas offered one alternative to stopping Ridley: Get physical. “Being physical at the line of scrimmage,” Thomas said. “Getting our hands on him early. Making a lot of plays on the ball to let him know that we are here to defend him.” But Ridley isn’t Hurts’ only receiving option. HASKELL WHITTINGTON / The Daily Reveille

DEFENSE BUT NO OFFENSE Consistency has been a problem for the LSU volleyball team throughout the 2016-17 season, coach Fran Flory said. With it, the Tigers second-to-last in the 13-team Southeastern Conference rankings at No. 12. Flory said the defense was nonexistent on Oct. 28 when LSU (7-15, 2-9 SEC) played against the SEC opponent South Carolina . we(15-7, 3-7 SEC) LSU lost 3-1 with 53 kills, 17 errors, 48 digs and 49 assists. “We might have a defensive output that’s good enough to win a match, but our offense disappears,” Flory said. “And our offense may be good enough, but then our defense disappears. We just can’t get them together on the same night at the same time.” Freshman outside hitter Sydney Mukes said the team struggled with finishing a match and playing as one team, with consistency as the top priority. But, ultimately, the team has some advantages too. “We have grown drastically from the start of season,” Mukes said. “Our blocking has gotten a lot better, our communication with each other — such as making a presence and making ourselves known when we’re playing with each other — has gotten a lot better as well, but we still have a lot to work on for sure.”

FOOTBALL
Avoiding miscues key for LSU vs. efficient Tide defense
BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n Alabama thrives on its opponents’ mistakes. Nick Saban has created a culture in Tuscaloosa that makes the most of miniscule mistakes and limits lapses of its own. When LSU fell to the Crimson Tide last fall, LSU junior fullback J.D. Moore said it was the result of Alabama making the most of the Tigers’ errors. “What it really comes down to is not that we didn’t play hard,” he said. “It’s not that
we didn’t have the will to win. It was a matter of putting ourselves in bad positions and not executing. We shot ourselves in the foot too many times and allowed them to dominate us.” When Alabama faces off against No. 13 LSU at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Tiger Stadium, there’s a sense that the Tigers have to be in perfect order to take down the Southeastern Conference’s lone remaining undefeated team. But no team is perfect, Moore said. Even Alabama, the No. 1 team that accumulates nearly 500 yards per game and has the nation’s most
suppressive rushing defense, isn’t perfect. “No team’s ever perfect — that’s just the way it is,” Moore said. “They make mistakes. We make mistakes. Whoever can eliminate those mistakes and execute well, that’s going to be a huge part of it.” LSU proved it can hang with Alabama during its last home loss against the Tide in 2014. The Tigers were knocking on the door of victory with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. After a T.J. Yeldon fumble, the Tigers were six yards

A LEAGUE OF THEIR
OWN eSports at LSU brings new life to campus gaming community BY JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford What started as a joke between two friends has become one of the fastest-growing communities on campus, with 64 people attending the eSports at LSU club’s first general meeting this semester. When coastal environmental science senior Johnathon Angers had one of his friends
jokingly tell everyone he would host a League of Legends viewing party, he began thinking about the state of the University’s video game community. “It made me think about what I could do to be involved in this community,” Angers said.

Student recording artist releases new project: ‘Wicked 6’ BY KENNEDI WALKER @kennedi0497 Digital art senior JaCouree’ Bunn, better known to his fans as “Ice,” released his second project, “Wicked 6,” on Monday. Ice, 21, writes his own music. Though he started making music six years ago, he did not begin performing live until three years ago. Last semester, he performed in front of his largest crowd of about 50 people in the LSU Student Union. “When I was in tenth grade, [that’s when I knew] I just had it. I had what you need. I started freestyling first,” Ice said. “I got with my group Almighty, and ever since then, I knew what I wanted to do.” Since “Wicked 6” was released on Halloween, he has been excited for people to hear it.
“It stands for the wicked world that we live in, and what I was trying to do for the project was give people the sounds of the world… so I did a lot of trap beats for the project, but I still stuck to my hard-core lyricism,” Ice said. Ice said he recorded the beats using the form of a traditional mix tape, incorporating such artists as J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Andre 3000, Young Thug and Future, while also throwing in some jazz beats to spice it up. Citing his two main influences as Eminem and Lil Wayne, Ice also credited Childish Gambino, Ab Soul and Yelawolf as contributing to his style. Regarding his music taste, Ice said, for the most part, all music inspires him, but he first fell in love with “the old-school, Motown hits.” He calls himself a
“technical rapper.” “I care about flow, metaphors and cadence. I care about what goes into my lyrics. It’s not like what you hear now… People don’t really care about lyrics anymore. I would say my music is lyricdriven,” he said. “My music has soul. It has a message.” Ice said he wanted his “next 16 bars to be better than [his] last 16 bars.” His next project, entitled “Summer Solstice,” is scheduled to release on the first day of the summer solstice. “My next plans would be to find as many show opportunities as I can, hit the streets as much as I can, interact with people, show them that I am the best that Baton Rouge has to offer right now lyrically and musically, and just show them what Almighty has for the South,” Ice said.

Celebrate National Sandwich Day with these five staples JAY TALKING
THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER/GOBBLER If you have never heard of the gobbler, I’m about to change your life forever. After Thanksgiving, what are you supposed to do with all the leftovers? Microwave them for dinner the day after like a savage? I’ll tell you what you do. Throw everything together between some bread like a Frankenstein’s monster of deliciousness. Turkey? Of course. Ham? Throw it on there. Stuffing? Harambe didn’t die for you to not put stuffing on a sandwich. Do you pour a little gravy on it? No, you drown in it like your sorrows after a failed test. Warning: Do not eat this in public unless you want to look like Jabba the Hut.
JAY CRANFORD @hjcranford On Nov. 13, 1718, Englishman John Montagu was born. As the grandson of an earl, he would go on to take over earlship, become postmaster general, lord of admiralty and secretary of state. Little did he know his greatest achievement would shape the world forever. I’m talking, of course, about the 4th Earl of Sandwich, the man who has claim to naming the sandwich itself. During a 24-hour gambling binge, Earl Sandwich, the boss he was, requested his servants bring him lunch meat between two slices of bread so he could eat with one hand and gamble with the other, thus, a legend was born. Today we celebrate National Sandwich Day, the most holy of gastronomical days, so here are the five best sandwiches that exist in my opinion. ITALIAN HERO The Italians have given the world many wonders. They discovered America, The Sopranos, The Godfather and Amy Adams. However, none of that matters as much as the invention of the Italian Hero. In 1903, sandwich apostle Giovanni Amato
cartoon by BETSY PRIMES
invented the Italian sandwich using a variety of Italian cold cuts, including salami, pepperoni and capicola, along with american and provolone cheese. Add your choice of toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, olives, peppers and olive oil, and you’ve got a sandwich with an equilibrium in line with the universe that follows the Fibonacci sequence. SHRIMP PO BOY I, Jay of house sandwich — first of his name — King of the cold cuts and the first cheeses,
lord of loafs and protector of the condiments, hereby declare shrimp po boys to be the most significant cultural invention since Michael Jackson moonwalked with Neil Armstrong. The humble po boy’s beauty comes from its simplicity. Shrimp, lettuce, tomato, pickles and some mayo or hot sauce on french bread is all it takes to make one of the greatest sandwiches the world has ever consumed. HAM AND CHEESE I hear what you’re saying:
“But Jay, ham and cheese is the pumpkin spice latte of sandwiches.” To which I say, “Get your blasphemous rhetoric away from this holiest of meat, bread and cheese.” Ham and cheese is like the Pope of sandwiches — it’s been around forever, it’s humble but strong and, if you treat it right, it will bless your soul. If you think I’m wrong, stop buying that weak Hillshire Farm excuse for ham. Go to a deli and treat yo self to real ham. Pro Tip: Give a ham and cheese sandwich to Metro Boomin, and he will trust you.
MUFFULETTA A muffuletta is as New Orleans as hurricanes, bounce music and acceptable public nudity. The muffuletta gets its name from the round loaf it’s made with. Sitting on top of the bread like a king on his throne is mortadella, salami, ham, provolone and mozzarella cheese. But we don’t stop there. No, in typical New Orleans fashion the muffuletta goes the extra mile by adding olive salad. MOTHERF***ING OLIVE SALAD. Fun fact: DJ Jubilee’s name was originally DJ Muffuletta. Jay Cranford is a 22-year-old finance senior from St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Duke’s Senate campaign why Louisiana can’t progress RYHME AND REASON
BRIANNA RHYMES @briannacrhymes As if this year’s election season couldn’t get any crazier, former KKK grand wizard David Duke qualified to participate in last night’s second U.S. Senate debate. In 2016, a time when America has become one of the most diverse countries in the world and caters to people of all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds, it’s bizarre that a person running a Senate campaign based on white nationalist views can be taken seriously. To participate in the debate, each candidate needed to garner
5 percent of support from likely voters in a poll taken by Raycom Media, the host of the senate debate. Duke made the cut with 5.1 percent. He trails Republican State Treasurer John Kennedy’s 24.2 percent and Democrat Foster Campbell’s 18.9 percent in the race for retiring Republican Sen. David Vitter’s seat. Having no clear path to victory hasn’t stopped Duke from speaking about what he believes the ideal America should look like. According to him, it should look white. Duke’s campaign is focused on stopping the “ethnic cleansing” of America. Duke blames immigrants for stealing millions of jobs and bringing crime, drugs and violence to America. But last

I heard, it wasn’t immigrants killing people in mass numbers at movie theatres, schools or churches. But if you can’t blame Obama for something, blame the immigrants. It’s no surprise that Duke is trying to ride Trump’s coattails to a victory on Nov. 8, considering the hateful rhetoric surrounding the Trump campaign since day one. Though I disagree with almost everything about Trump’s campaign, it’s not nearly as bad as the message behind Duke’s. Duke’s call for the end of ethnic cleansing comes with claims that “liberals advance their own agenda by making the people whose forefathers created America a minority in their own nation.” He also claims that the
media “celebrates the ‘dying out of white people in America’ and the replacement of their nation’s population with people of nonEuropean descent who embrace different ideologies than the founding principles of America.” The fact that someone who thinks this way receives any support at all shows how regressive Louisiana is compared to other states. It’s obvious Duke winning the senate election is impossible, but people are using this fact to avoid addressing bigger issues at hand such as Republican ties to the KKK. Republicans have gone as far as calling the Black Lives Matter group a terrorist group but refuse to denounce the KKK. The Black Lives Matter movement has acknowledged the

The KKK has done nothing over the many years it’s been around but incite violence, cause terror and torture those who don’t identify as a member of their white nationalist movement. To top it off, the Senate debate was ironically held at Dillard University, a historically black university in New Orleans.

Junior wide receiver ArDarius Stewart has played in only six games this season, yet has 436 receiving yards and three touchdowns. And Alabama’s No. 3 leading receiver? He’s the best tight end the Tigers will face this season, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. That man is senior tight end O.J. Howard, a 6-foot-6, 251-pound target, someone Thomas says you don’t want to get in a fist fight with. “We want him to come up the field a little more,” Thomas said. “We want to be able to read his route. We don’t want to get into a fist fight with a tight end because they have the size advantage over most guys. We want to let him come up to the field, blend into him and let him get up the field.” In the past, Alabama’s offense has always featured a premiere running back, such as Mark Ingram or T.J. Yeldon, but now White said Alabama is able to throw the ball well and still be able to run effectively. “They can spread the ball around, and they have two really good receivers in Stewart and Ridley,” White said. “They’re able to run downhill. They have three good backs, too. They’re able to keep it balanced.” Orgeron, who is friends with Kiffin, lauded Alabama for having an offense that averages 229.6 passing yards per game and 268.4 rushing yards per game. “This team is able to score 50 points a game with Lane in there,” Orgeron said. “He can hit the long ball at any time. He’s great at making the calls and the boots. He just has the complete package.”
away from paydirt and all but securing victory. Then came a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which the Tide took full advantage of. “It seemed like we had them, then the penalty ended up costing us that game,” senior tight end Colin Jeter said. “It’s kind of one of those things where you have something, and it just gets taken away from you. It’s frustrating, but they played the full 60 minutes and whatever extra time we played. They deserved that win.” The key for the Tigers is taking care of the ball because more often than not, Alabama turns turnovers into six points. The Crimson Tide defense is responsible for 16 turnovers this season, nine of which were taken to the house for a touchdown. Moore said all it takes is one Tiger making a poor block or bad read for Alabama to make Saturday another bad day. If they keep their assignments in front of them and get junior running back Leonard Fournette one-on-one, though, it could be a bad day for Alabama, Jeter said. “They’re technically sound. That’s the biggest thing about Alabama,” Jeter said. “They’re always well coached, and they don’t make very many mistakes. Those front guys, the three linemen and the two edge rushers, they’re all phenomenal players. And they take advantage of your mistakes almost all the time, so we can’t make those mistakes.”
‘BE A LEADER’ The LSU volleyball team’s five upperclassmen must be examples for the 10 underclassmen who have a lot more learning to do, Flory said. The emphasis is on getting the upperclassmen refocused on technique and necessities so all other players can follow suit, she said. “We lack leadership, we lack experience — which we knew,” Flory said. “This was going to be a rebuilding year anyway, losing the seniors that had started. We had three seniors that started for four years for us prior to that. We knew this was going to be a challenge. “I don’t think our upperclassmen have led very well in terms of our system and
ESPORTS, from page 4 community where competitive and casual gamers from all gaming communities can socialize with each other. The first step was to bring together the two biggest gaming communities at the University — League of Legends at LSU and the Smash Club at LSU. “It started off as being an umbrella club for these games, but it’s become its own thing,” Angers said. “Initially, there were only clubs for League of Legends and Smash Club, so we’re becoming the epicenter for all these other games.” This structure allows for
our techniques,” she added. “I think that’s leading to the inconsistency.” Two of the upperclassmen, junior middle blocker Khourtni Fears and junior defensive specialist Cheyenne Wood, lead the squad in blocks and digs, respectively. Nonetheless, Fears places 10th in the SEC with 1.02 blocks per set, and Wood places fifth with an average of 3.94 digs per set. “Underclassmen don’t really know what are the standards, what does this look like?” senior middle blocker Tiara Gibson said. “If they’re not seeing upperclassmen doing those things, then they’re not going to know what to replicate.” CONFIDENCE, DISCIPLINE KEY With a developing team, the Tigers hope to gain the confidence and discipline to defeat Ole Miss when they play at 7
p.m. on Friday in the PMAC. Gibson said discipline will help execution. “Some of the mistakes we make are mental errors based on not staying disciplined,” Gibson said. “We have the capability to hit great shots, to set great balls, pass to the target, serve the zone. It’s just whether we’re going to stay disciplined and execute or if we’re going to let our nerves and anxiety overtake us.” The squad needs to gain confidence and momentum, Mukes said, so the team can then “play loose” and give 100 percent every play in every set for every match. “[The biggest thing] is confidence in knowing that you can do your job,” Mukes said. “Every single girl on this team is a great player and has such great potential. We all need to believe that.”
the executive board to handle logistics, like reserving rooms on campus for gaming events, coordinating events and obtaining sponsorships, while letting team captains handle the competitive side. In its three-month lifespan, eSports at LSU has expanded its gaming communities to include multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs) like Dota 2, Heroes of the Storm and League of Legends, shooters Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, fighting game Super Smash Bros. and card game Hearthstone, among others. “Right now, we’re just trying to branch the club out and become more inclusive,” Angers said. To achieve this, the group is looking to expand into any games students are interested in creating a community for. The wish list includes fighting games, sports games and Rocket League. With plans to have crossover events with the University of Texas and the University of Georgia, eSports at LSU is also looking to expand its
influence into the growing college eSports scene. The group also plans to compete in more collegiate leagues, as it did during its recent League of Legends victory over the University of Delaware. However, the focus is not solely on competitive gaming. Most games have weekly events, which include casual, friendly games, and anyone is encouraged to hang out in their Discord chatroom to play in pickup games, which happen most nights. Along with weekly events planned by each gaming community, eSports at LSU will have general meetings every month and look to organize more in-person events on campus, offering a variety of activities like LAN events and viewing parties. The second general meeting is Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. in room 1620 of the Business Education Complex. “Don’t be afraid to come out to the meetings. Everyone is open to new members, even if we don’t currently sponsor a game you play,” Angers said.
