How to Get the Most Out of Your Game Day at Georgia Southern

BY JENNA WILEY

The George-Anne staff

Football in Statesboro, GA is a major part of the culture.

Saturdays are dedicated to football in Paulson Stadium and nothing else, and with football season in full swing, it’s a good idea to know to have a successful game day.

Tailgating The amount of preparation can differ depending on what kind of game day you want to have. If you are big on tailgating, spots in Paulson Stadiums’ parking lot are available for purchase. Other spots around campus, such as the Performing Arts Center (PAC) and the Recreational Activity Center (RAC) are also popular tailgating spots. People who tailgate often arrive as early as the day before a game and early Saturday morning to get everything set up. If you aren’t planning on tailgating, it’s as easy as showing up for Page designed by Dalis Worrell

pregame and finding your seats.

Where to sit Seating in Paulson Stadium can be tricky. If you are a student, the student section can be an amazing experience to go through. Located on the visitor side, the student section holds its own traditions that can be really fun once you learn them.

The home side is a great spot to sit if you want to be closer to the football team, and it is also the side the Southern Pride Marching Band performs their pregame and most of their halftime performances.

to wear something you don’t mind getting things spilled on because some people can get a little rowdy in the stands. Also, plan on wearing comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of standing and cheering on the Eagles to victory.

Afterparty The partying doesn’t stop after the game ends. For some, it’s just getting started.

Especially after an Eagle win, the night comes alive. Popular places to celebrate are the Gnat’s Landing, Del Sur, Blue Room and Shenanigans. If the bar scene is more your style, these places often have the football game playing on the T.V. if you don’t plan on making to Paulson. Having a good college game day can make or break the days memories, so use these helpful hints to make the memories good ones.

All George-Anne Media Group outlets are headquartered in the Williams Center. The Office of Student Media administrative office is located in Room 2016.

Page designed by Christaje’ Roach

Georgia Southern University’s Office of Leadership and Community Engagement annual tradition of the Holiday Helper Tree in Russell Union is back up.

Every holiday season, the OLCE puts up a faux fir tree as a way to get students to help out the local community. This is the 26th year of this charitable tradition and it is right on time, as the tree is put up in early Nov. and remains up until Nov. 22.

On the tree, there are gift tags, each one describing a gift wish from someone in the Statesboro community. The tag also includes some identifying details.

Another way students and faculty can help out is through volunteering at the Tree, as volunteers are needed to check out the tags being pulled.

The link to sign up and volunteer is here.

If you want to help out in a different way, feel free to donate funds to the unclaimed tags through partner agencies. Email rwilburn@georgiasouthern.edu to be connected with one of the OCLE partner agencies.

Here are some important dates to remember!

Nov. 1 – Nov. 22 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. – Students can pull tags from the tree on the Russell Union stage.

Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. – Gifts are due.

Bring them to Russell Union 1056, wrapped and with the tag attached.

NEW SPANISH SGA MEETING GRADUATE COURSES

Literature, history and culture featured in Georgia Southern’s MA and MAT in Spanish

DAVON JOHNSON/staff

The Master of Arts in spanish is a 30 hour program of study to provide students with advanced level courses in Spanish literature, history and culture.

BY DAVON JOHNSON The George-Anne staff

STATESBORO —The department of foreign languages offers two graduate course programs called MA in spanish and MAT in spanish education.

The Master of Arts in spanish is a 30 hour program of study to provide students with advanced level courses in spanish literature, history and culture.

Students can choose to do the Master of Arts or Master of Arts in Teaching, or a combination of the two programs which is a 45 hour program that takes students five semesters to finish.

“Most students do the combination because it’s easier for them to do both and we count courses from one degree for the other,” graduate director Marcela Ruiz-Funes said.

The program typically offers three graduate level classes during the fall and spring semesters and two over the classes in the summer.

Ruiz-Funes states the program is not just limited to spanish majors.

“For the MA students with any other major who are fluent in spanish can apply for admission into the MA,” Ruiz Funes said. “The MAT will be strict in every course because you need to have 21 credit hours of upper division courses in spanish before they get admitted into the program.”

The foreign language department requires all degree candidates to take a comprehensive written and oral examinations.

“I do have a love for the spanish language, so for me, people who want to join the program should not be nervous or scared about where

their experience came from, how they learned it or how they speak it,” spanish major Jordan Clarke said. “As long as you can be proficient in the language and can express yourself then someone who is seeking this program should not have any fear.”

Students can apply for a teaching assistantship, which includes a tuition waiver and a monthly stipend.

Duties will include a variety of teaching and research related activities. Assistantships are competitive and awarded as they are made available.

“I’m a professor at times because I do activities and help teach a couple of classes,” spanish major Angelo Remero said. “I feel like I’ve had a lot of freedom and I feel like I’m in between professor and student so it kind of gives me a higher position but it does not require as much work.”

Open discussions on senator projects featured

Lilliston also talked about his concerns with first-year students at the campus and what should be done for them to have a better understanding on their majors.

“I know a lot of freshmen come in and they have no clue what they want to do,” Lilliston said. “They don’t know if they want to be an accountant, PHOTO: GEORGIA SOUTHERN STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION a math major but you More information is still being looked know what we can at with the college of graduate studies save a lot of time.

The art being shown at GS ranges from prints to scrolls, flags, and elaborate cutouts. His talk discussed his work as well as his career as a multi-format artist, and was followed by a reception.

ISIS MAYFIELD/staff

Famed artist Dan Funderburgh visited GS this past Tuesday to give a talk on his art and work, some of which is currently being showcased in the University Gallery.

ISIS MAYFIELD/staff

“I hope gallery visitors, whether students or members of the larger community, will learn about the expanded field of options open to artists--printmakers, in this specific instance,” University Gallery Director and Assistant Professor of Art Jason Hoelscher, Ph.D. said.

“That Dan is able to work with such a range of subject matter and such a range of forms is very impressive.”

ISIS MAYFIELD/staff

A Brooklyn-based illustrator, artist and wallpaper designer, Funderburgh’s work pushes the limits of logos, graphics, and pattern density. His art has been showcased at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City, and he’s collaborated with big names like the New York Times, Nike and Cole Haan.

Funderburgh’s talk was Tuesday, Nov. 12 in the Arts Building in room 2071. The reception was in the first-floor galleries of the Center for Art and Theatre. Both events were free and open to the public.

THE ERA OF Anita

Howard debuts as the first African-American female head coach in school history

BY AMANDA ARNOLD The George-Anne staff

When Anita Howard got the call from Georgia Southern Athletic Director Tom Kleinlein that she would be named the new head coach of the women’s basketball team, she knew she was continuing the streak of breaking down barriers in the game of basketball.

She was the first AfricanAmerican head coach at her previous two schools, and this is the first time she’s been given the opportunity to be a head coach at this level.

“There’s not that many Division I female coaches,” she said. “I definitely know I was blessed and favored, so I was super excited...I do think young girls need to see women that look like them, that have been where they’ve been, doing things that I’m doing.”

Her main goal as the head of the organization is to change the way that women’s basketball is viewed by others. The program has not had a winning record since the 2009-10 season when GS was still a part of the SoCon conference.

One of the first things she noticed when she walked on campus were the traditions that GS continues to carry out. With Chad Lunsford revamping the football program on the field and through social media, she feels inspired to do the same thing in Hanner Fieldhouse.

“Everyone wants a winning culture,” she said. “But, there’s so much more to life after your sport, life after basketball...One of the things we’re working with is changing their mindsets to let them know that they are

great and they can be good...

Basketball is our job but it’s also second nature when you’re building that culture, the championship building mindset.”

Howard played point guard and adapted a coaching mindset very early on in her life. Her teammates nicknamed her ‘The General’ because she was always orchestrating plays on her own time and trying to improve the team from her perspective. The nickname was fitting, considering she was a military brat, but she always had a leadership position on the court. When she graduated from college, she thought she wanted to be a photographer… coaching really wasn’t in the front of her mind.

“I love art, I’m an artist by trade,” she said. “There was something that was missing... so I started coaching competitive AAU basketball in the state of Georgia. One of the college coaches saw me and asked me to come be an assistant coach and then that first year of being an assistant coach at the Division I level, I realized that this is what I wanted to do.”

Before GS, the Savannah native most recently coached at Columbus State where she accumulated a 45-18 conference record over three seasons, two Division II Championships and an NCAA Elite Eight appearance.

In her first season with the Cougars, she led the team to a Peach Belt title, and a 31-2 record. Her career also extends to Salem College and Livingstone College, where the latter school holds the record

Howard is looking to build off of last season’s 7-22 record.

Page designed by MORGAN CARR

for the longest winning streak in HBCU history, at 23 wins.

She has several awards up her sleeve, including the 2013 Great South Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, the John “Whack” Hyder Georgia College Women’s Coach of the Year in 2017 and the 2017-18 Peach Belt Conference Coach of the Year.

Since taking over, she has also largely been focusing on recruiting. With this being the last season for standout guard Alexis Brown, she has made it a point to start bringing in her own recruits and personnel.

She has already swept the entire coaching staff and brought in two African American assistant coaches, also the most in GS history.

Howard relocated to Statesboro with her husband and as the mother of three boys, she has been looking forward to starting fresh in a new place. She’s enjoying the college-town atmosphere and feels that the community has become her family in just the little time she’s been here.

Her two older sons are out of the house already, and her youngest is currently in Atlanta finishing up his senior year and training with the Atlanta United Development Academy.

“I haven’t won one game yet and they are making me feel extremely welcome,” she said.

“I’ve come to the realization, it’s kind of just the southern hospitality...The people really care about Georgia Southern Athletics and although women’s basketball hadn’t been as successful as they would like, they still come out and they’re still buying season

tickets and stuff like that.”

The team embraced Howard with open arms and they took to her fun personality very quickly. They know that she has no problem having fun, but there is a time and a place to be serious… and that is when it comes to the fundamentals on the court.

Howard has a specific game plan for the Eagles, which includes raising the effort level and energy. Last year, the team won two conference games and she emphasizes that they must

do better than that.

She sets small goals for the team and preaches that each practice and game means something. She is a strong believer in speaking things into existence and says that they will “Shock the Sun Belt”.

“Our phrase for this year is to ‘Take Flight’,” she said. “Our program has been, kind of, at the bottom of our conference so it’s time for us to ‘take flight’ and get some respect...I’m serious about them getting better.”

Football moves towards ULM after Trojans break winning streak on the road

BY ELIJAH JACKSON The George-Anne staff

After a 24-21 upset win against #20 Appalachian State on Halloween, the Eagles traveled to Troy to face off against the 3-5 Trojans where they looked continue their four-game winning streak.

They ended up losing the game, 4928, and will look to get back on the winning side of things back at home against ULM this weekend.

The last time GS and ULM faced off was last November, when the Eagles lost on the road, 44-25, as the GS defense allowed 573 yards of Warhawk total offense that day.

This will be the eighth matchup between the two teams while GS leads the all time matchup with 5

wins and 3 losses.

The Eagles are looking to get back into the race after being tied for top for the east division title and a chance to play for the Sun Belt Conference Championship.

The loss to Troy puts the team currently in second place, tied with rival Georgia State.

GS is coming off a unique game where they had a better day passing the ball than rushing it. Against Troy, they rushed for 152 yards and only ran in one score while throwing for 181 yards and 3 touchdowns.

The Eagles are led on offense by junior transfer running back J.D. King who has 580 yards rushing with four touchdowns, junior running back Wesley Kennedy III who has 541 rushing yards with

eight touchdowns and redshirt-junior quarterback Shai Werts who has 534 yards and one touchdown.

Facing off against ULM’s defense will be a task for GS, as the Warhawks have notched 49 tackles for

The George-Anne staff

For Frida Brattum, soccer has always been apart of her life.

The Norway native knew that she wanted to push herself this season and she set the bar high for herself on the field. With her senior campaign in the books, she led the offense with eight goals and walks away from her collegiate career with zero regrets.

“My family has always been really active and like doing sports,” Brattum said. “My dad has been playing soccer like forever, so it was just natural for me to just start. My older brother did it too.”

She came to America for college because she knew that relocating would be the most logical thing to do if she wanted to play at a high level. In Norway, the student-athlete culture is very different. After high school graduation, you choose one route or another. When that time came, she had her sights set on Georgia Southern. She visited America before coming to Statesboro, just to go on vacation, and her favorite place to sightsee was New York because of the constant hustle and bustle.

Brattum had a bit of a shock when she arrived to Statesboro, as she was not familiar with the infamous ‘Southern Hospitality’ that Americans always mention.

The WarHawks are coming into the game 4-5 on the season and 3-2 in conference play on a one-game winning streak.

Kickoff is slated for 3 p.m. at Paulson Stadium and the game will be televised on ESPN+.

The team holds a 5-4 overall record.

She felt at home, even though getting to Norway is a flight that can take over 11 hours.

Coming to America was not an easy adjustment for Brattum but she is proud of the person she has become. Growing up so close to her family, she thought she would be more homesick than she actually is.

Her brother, a professional ice hockey player for the Norwegian national team, pushes her to be the best she can be. It takes effort to stay in communication due to the time difference but they always find time to make it work.

“I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a person in general because nobody back home would ever think that I would move to a different country speaking a different language,” she said. ‘I thought I was going to get more homesick and I learned a lot about myself and how I handle tough situations being far away from home.”

She didn’t really try to play any other sports besides soccer during her childhood but she has always enjoyed skiing during her leisure time with her family.

Obviously, skiing in Statesboro is not an option, so she sticks to soccer.

Head Coach Josh Moffet was not here when Brattum began her tenure as an Eagle but she is grateful for his impact on her career high numbers this season.

“A lot of things are different,” she said. “It’s good team chemistry... for scoring goals it’s been about confidence and trust and I feel like I’ve been trusted by the whole team.”

With the end of the regular season and an appearance in the Sun Belt Tournament, Brattum has begun to say her goodbyes to GS, slowly but surely. She will never forget the place that allowed her to live out her dreams of being an athlete and a

full time student.

“I’ve gotten some really good friends here that I want to keep in touch with for the rest of my life,” she said. “I’m going to miss walking around campus and walking into the Sanford building, it’s going to be different but I feel like it’s time now after four years.”

After college, she hopes to work around the sports side of public relations.

Women’s Basketball After scoring the most single season points for an Eagle in 25 years, Brown expects to raise the team’s record in Coach Anita Howard’s first year. “[The staff has been] teaching me to push myself when I’m tired,” she said. “I used to be afraid to get tired so I could protect myself.”

Brown, a senior out of Madison, is a family-first, 5’6 athlete with an instilled competitive drive and insatiable thirst for improvement. When asked about her influences both as an athlete and individual, Brown cited her mother, extended family, teammates,

As Brown enters her senior season she’s had to adjust to her first year without her older brother with her in Statesboro.

When Tookie took an opportunity to play in Belgium this summer, he immersed himself into professional basketball and its schedule, meaning Alexis and their family don’t expect to see him until
