The Ohio State football team has not lost a game since Jan. 2, 2012. The team currently holds the nation’s longest winning streak, and is one win away from setting a school record for consecutive wins with 23. Throughout the whole season, the Buckeyes have been near the top of the rankings, shoving aside their competition in what is unfolding as the second straight undefeated season under coach Urban Meyer. But even with all that success, the coach still doesn’t want to talk about where OSU sits among the country’s best. Meyer sidestepped yet another question about what OSU (10-0, 6-0) looks like compared to the rest of the country and if the fact that the last two times OSU played for the national championship (2007, 2008) it lost has crossed his mind. Instead, he chose to talk about how two running backs, redshirt-freshman Warren Ball and freshman Ezekiel Elliott, need to get better at tackling in order to help the punt team. “Ezekiel on our punt team, I have to teach him how to tackle. Warren Ball is running down on kickoff,”

OSU coach Urban Meyer talks on the sidelines during a game against Illinois Nov. 16 at Memorial Stadium. OSU won, 60-35. Meyer said Monday during a press conference, to chuckles from the media. “He hasn’t done that in his high school career. We’re going to work hard on that in practice. Any other questions about Warren Ball’s coverage?” One thing Meyer did comment on was the Bowl Championship Series, which is in its final year of selecting

the pair of teams who play for the national title. “Without spending much time on it, because it’s not fair for our team to do that, I will say this: I think it’s a flawed system,” Meyer said. “When you logically think about it, what the BCS people have done, which obviously we’re all part of it, I think it was great for a while.”

The Buckeyes are ranked No. 3 in the BCS for the second week in row, but sit a mere .0013 points ahead of No. 4 Baylor after beating Illinois, 60-35, in Champaign, Ill. A college football playoff system is set to be implemented next season, with a selection committee choosing four of the nation’s top teams to play in a round of semifinals before those two eventual winners meet in a national title game. “I think (the BCS) took an imperfect system and did the best you can without a playoff,” Meyer said. “There’s going to be controversy in playoffs, too … There’s not a 64-team playoff. You’re going to have four guys. What is that fifth team going to feel like?” In the meantime, where OSU is ranked in the BCS or any other poll could be beyond the Buckeyes’ power, something OSU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said does not cause any discontent. “I don’t think there’s any frustration because I think at the end of the day, it was like last year, everybody said, is there frustration you can’t go to a bowl game? No. We knew we couldn’t go to a bowl game in

Mirror Lake is overflowing and leaking, but some OSU officials said research being done on the issue won’t affect the Mirror Lake jump tradition.

If you filled about two CABS buses with water and dumped them into the sewer on a daily basis, it would be roughly equivalent to what Mirror Lake spills into the local sewer system every day. The cause: the lake’s continuous overflow and a recently discovered leak, said Ohio State spokeswoman for Administration and Planning Lindsay Komlanc. In an effort to follow suit with campus’s ever-evolving sustainability plan and in part to discover the source of the leak, Mirror Lake is set to become subject to a slew of studies by EDGE Group later this month, senior vice president of Administration and Planning Jay Kasey said. EDGE Group is a local firm of landscape architects and development consultants founded by former

OSU football player and assistant vice president for business advancement Eddie George. The firm is set to help address several issues of the campus landmark, including options for fixing the leak, maintenance considerations and alternative sources to fill the lake, said Aparna Dial, director of OSU energy services and sustainability. “It’s filled with drinking water right now, and the water source is Pomerene (Hall),” Dial said. “When we consider sustainability, we want to think about the cost to maintain and operate the lake in addition to looking at a good source — a more sustainable source for replacement — on a day-to-day basis.” Komlanc said in an email OSU will be paying EDGE $24,000 to do the studies. The funds come from the President and Provost’s Council on Sustainability, which considers funding requests each year for various sustainability projects around campus.

A quarter of Ohio State’s College of Arts and Sciences faculty and staff were scheduled to receive new computers this academic year, but when the nearly $500,000 funding was cut, some programs were left scrambling. The college paused its annual Computer Refresh Program, which grants funding to replace 25 percent of full-time faculty and staff members’ computers each year, for the 2014 fiscal year in September. The program had created a four-year refresh cycle for the faculty and staff in each of its departments and schools by providing a yearly financial allocation. With the program paused, that cycle has been pushed back a year. “The decision to pause the program was necessary to address two critical needs,” said John Nisbet, chief administrative officer in the College of Arts and Sciences, in an email to The Lantern. Those critical needs, Nisbet said, were a “major firewall refresh” budgeted at $200,000, and a budget of approximately $204,000 to cover the cost of OSU’s agreements with Microsoft, Adobe and Box. The Computer Refresh Program, which has been run three times since it was established for the 2011 fiscal year, has been funded at $480,000 annually, Nisbet said. In lieu of the program, Nisbet said OSU has set aside funds to respond to “emergency refresh requests,” which are to provide new computers to faculty or staff members who have computers “so outdated it prevent(s) someone from doing their work.” Nisbet did not confirm whether the program will resume for the 2015 fiscal year, but said that is the college’s goal. Dave Alden, senior systems manager for the

Computer Refresh Program put on hold to address two other needs:

• $200K “major firewall refresh” • $204K to cover the cost of OSU’s agreements with Microsoft, Adobe and Box The program grants funding to replace 25 percent of the College of Arts and Sciences full-time faculty and staff members’ computers each year. source: reporting college’s Department of Mathematics, said the pause of the program forced his department to make cuts in other areas of its budget. “There was no way I was willing to not refresh computers this year, because that just puts crappy computers on faculty and staff’s desktops for the next four years,” Alden said. “If you don’t buy them this year, then everybody ends up with a 5-year-old computer over the next three or four years.” Making those budget cuts was difficult, Alden said, in part because the department did not know until September it would not receive the program funding, which he said was “about $22,000” for his department. “We were given very little time to figure out where to cut,” Alden said. The 2013 fiscal year allocation for each department was found by multiplying one-fourth of each department’s staff by a weighted cost of $1,100, calculated from the average market price of Dell and Mac desktop computers. Departments had the choice of using the funds to purchase PC or Mac desktops or laptops, according to the program’s overview flyer for the 2013 fiscal year. Brent Curtiss, computing systems manager for

KAYLA ZAMARY / Design editor the college’s School of Earth Sciences, however, said the impact of the program pause should be “pretty minimal” as long as the pause only lasts one year. “Computers last a long time,” Curtiss said. “We can easily handle a year off without a real noticeable impact. Probably you could handle two years, but beyond that it would be, we’d be back to where we were before (the program started). We were getting by but then we had — it was a little tougher to get them a machine.” The refresh program was developed in 2010, Nisbet said, to address the “difficulty and cost of supporting outdated or non-standard computing equipment” and to ensure all full-time faculty and staff would be able to receive updated computers every four years. Curtiss said the program allowed the school to use its money more efficiently. “It took a burden off our budget for buying computers for faculty and staff,” Curtiss said. “I think it really helps us to be more efficient with the money and with the equipment that’s in place.”

campus OSU spirit might be captured in perfume Brooke Sayre Lantern reporter sayre.128@osu.edu The sweet smell of buckeye candy was among the ideas students came up with to bottle the essence of Ohio State. Masik Collegiate Fragrances, a New York-based company that specializes in creating college fragrances, might be looking to do just that. In June, a user on the Masik Collegiate Fragrances Facebook page asked why there wasn’t a fragrance for OSU. Masik Collegiate Fragrances commented back saying, “We are in talks with THE Ohio State University, no worries. Had a call with them last week! Stay tuned.” Katie Masik, the CEO of Masik Collegiate Fragrances, said an OSU fragrance is still being discussed. “We certainly hope we can work with Ohio State,” said Masik, a graduate of Bucknell University with a degree in chemical engineering. She first came up with the idea of creating a college fragrance product when she was reflecting on her experience of her alma mater and recognized scent is linked to memory. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could create a fragrance that was inspired by a university? Embrace that smell that would remind them of their experience,” Masik said. According to its website, the scents are “inspired by unique elements such as school colors, campus style, flowers and trees, traditions and location.” “I know for Ohio State, we would obviously look to school colors, just like we do for every school,” Masik said. “We would research what types of trees are prevalent, what flowers grow in the spring and summer and research landmarks and traditions. All about the Buckeyes and Ohio.” OSU spokesman Gary Lewis said there is no contract with the company but gave information to The Lantern on OSU’s licensing procedure in an email. “New licensing applications are reviewed once a month by Trademark and Licensing along with a review committee consisting of internal and external retail buyers to evaluate the value proposition to the Ohio State brand,” Lewis said. Factors that go into the evaluation of the product include production and distribution capabilities, marketability and quality of the product, demonstrated success with previous licensors and product development, Lewis said. If the application is accepted, the official trademark files, such as the official logo, are offered in a license agreement. “Licensees are required to submit their proposed Ohio State artwork concepts for review and approval,” Lewis said. “Once the artwork is approved, the final pre-production item is sent to our office for final review

We would research what types of trees are prevalent, what flowers grow in the spring and summer and research landmarks and traditions. All about the Buckeyes and Ohio.

Katie Masik CEO of Masik Collegiate Fragrances before being released to the marketplace. Sales of licensed items are reported quarterly with the contract eligible to be renewed each one-year contract term.” If Masik obtained an approved license, a “fragrance brief” would be sent to OSU, at which stage “the universities conduct smell sessions to determine which fragrances they like best,” according to the website. Masik said often these consist of focus groups or groups of students, alumni and faculty. The brief would contain any research the company had done on OSU. “We show (the perfumers) pictures of students and alumni and fans,” Masik said. “We want our perfumers to get a feel of the essence of the university. They put together unique combinations for men and women. We have the schools give input.” Masik has produced scents for schools including Penn State University, University of Alabama, University of Florida, University of Kentucky and University of Tennessee. It is about a six-month process to complete a fragrance, Masik said. Some students felt an OSU fragrance shouldn’t be too strongly scented. “For the girls, I think it should be natural and not overpowering, not obvious that they are wearing perfume,” said Catherine Schultz, a third-year in human resources. Others agreed with Schultz. “It should be fresh and not fruity. Some guy’s colognes are too fruity and they overdo it,” said Scott Vanko, a fourth-year in political science. The fragrances can be purchased for about $40 in 1.7-ounce bottles and are sold on the Masik website, along with campus bookstores and retailers and various gift shops and boutiques, Masik said. In addition to the signature fragrances, Masik has been looking toward other products that capture scent, such as body spray, air freshener and cosmetic products like lip balm. Michael Brockman, a second-year in biology, initially thought of tying buckeyes into the scent, but then thought of an issue. “Buckeyes don’t have a scent to them,” Brockman said. “Unless you use peanut butter and chocolate.” Kayla Zamary contributed to this article.

January,” Herman said Monday. OSU fulfilled an NCAA-imposed bowl ban following last season, a ban stemming from the Tattoo-gate scandal which saw former coach Jim Tressel resign. “We’ve known about the BCS for the last 15 years. We know this is the system we play in and these are the cards that are dealt.” Baylor defeated Texas Tech, 63-34, on Saturday, which catapulted them ahead of OSU to No. 3 from No. 4 in the AP rankings. Although the Buckeyes defeated Illinois by about the same margin, the Illini made things interesting in the fourth quarter, cutting the lead to 12 with just less than nine minutes to go. Meyer said he left Champaign with “a little bit” of a pit in his stomach because he felt neither he nor the team performed up to his standards. “I grade myself a C last week. I was worried about too many other things,” Meyer said. “I can promise you, we’re going to coach better this week.” Although the effort against Illinois (3-7, 0-6) might not have been the Buckeyes’ best from top to bottom, a win’s a win, and Meyer said he wanted to be sure every player appreciated that. “These guys need to enjoy a Division I win. That’s our job,” Meyer said. “That doesn’t mean today, tomorrow and Wednesday we’re not going to get after it, because we are. I can assure you yesterday that we made sure that the staff and players enjoyed that win.” Herman said no matter where the Buckeyes sit in the minds of the pollsters or BCS computers, the team is going to get ready for the next game the same way as usual. “It really has no bearing on how we prepare, how we play,” Herman said. “And to waste brain cells, as I call it, thinking about it, worrying about it, would be brain cells that I can use better to help the offense or help (junior quarterback) Braxton (Miller) … it’s out of our control. So we can just go win games, play as well as we can, keep getting better every week.”

That mentality seems to have trickled down to some of the players themselves, like redshirt-senior left tackle Jack Mewhort. “We’re kind of done looking forward and we’re just going to handle our business. Obviously, the beginning of the season we set our goals, we said we’re going to compete for championships in November and I think we can do that by handling our business this weekend,” Mewhort said Monday. “We have our eyes on something, but we don’t want to talk about it … We’re just going to take it day by day and go through the daily grind and try to get better as an offense and defense and improve special teams also.” Redshirt-senior center Corey Linsley, though, offered another perspective. “It is what it is,” Linsley said Monday, alluding to the BCS standings and where OSU is ranked. “There’s nothing we can do about it. There’s no lobbying we can do at this point to change the BCS formula. The only thing we can concentrate on is how do we advance further in the BCS and how do we keep ahead of Baylor. It’s just the reality.” Whether it’s the win streak, BCS ranking or another goal the team might accomplish in 2013, reveling in the success should be done at a later date. “Someday you’ll be able to look back and reflect. Now is not that time. We have too much work to do,” Meyer said. “To have our name even in that breath (of all the other great OSU teams) is almost as overwhelming. If you spend too much time on it … We spent I think 30 seconds on it, moved on, started working on Warren Ball. Poor Warren.” Meyer and the Buckeyes are set to take on Indiana (4-6, 2-4) in the final home game of the season Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

If you ﬁlled about two CABS buses with water and dumped them into the sewer on a daily basis, it would be roughly equivalent to what Mirror Lake spills into the local sewer system every day. In an effort to support campus sustainability and to discover the source of the leak, Mirror Lake is set to become the subject to studies by EDGE Group later this month. Komlanc said in an email OSU will be paying EDGE

$24K to do the studies. kayLa ByLer / Managing editor of design

Lake from 1A As a resource, water is fairly abundant in this region of the world, but about one-third of the world’s population lives in water scarcity, Dial said. Conservation is an important part of helping to address the problem. “On one hand, we have researchers trying to address these global problems, and we’re teaching our students to be global citizens. On the other hand, we are using drinking water to fill this lake, and not only are we using it, but we discovered it’s leaking and overflowing,” Dial said. EDGE Group’s research, and possible resulting construction, might limit access to Mirror Lake in the near future, Kasey said, but he added that “it won’t affect the Mirror Lake jump.” Jumping in Mirror Lake before the OSU football game against the University of Michigan is a university tradition, but it is not a university-sanctioned event. It is scheduled for Nov. 26 this year. Kasey said the report from EDGE Group should be back by the end of December at which point a group of staff and students will discuss how to improve the lake. Changes will likely begin around January or February, he said. “We do not want to make a prediction of what it may look like in the future. We all love Mirror Lake as it looks today,” Kasey said. “I can’t imagine how it could look better, but I imagine others can.” Kasey said it was discovered recently the lake’s operations weren’t necessarily sustainable, considering the overflowing and the leaking were wasting drinking water. “We became aware in the last year that the water

consumption in Mirror Lake was getting to a point where, in almost anybody’s definition, we weren’t doing a responsible job of managing that water and what goes through our sewers,” Kasey said. Some OSU students said they’re glad the university is working on fixing the problem. “It’s good that they’re finally bringing someone in to take care of it because that’s a lot of water to lose and a really big waste of water, especially since as a campus we’re trying to be more eco-friendly,” said Emily Paetz, a third-year in human development and family science. “It’s not ideal that we’ve waited this long. It’s good that we’re finally doing something about it.” Other students said having a firm look into the problem is a fair solution. “Obviously, it should be fixed. I think that having someone to come in and look at it is the best solution. I hope we fix it as soon as possible,” said Hall Wang, a third-year in neuroscience. Kasey added an important aspect of the project is keeping the campus icon intact. “Our hope is that there are going to be some better solutions for how water is recycled through the lake and how water is claimed in places and used to fill the lake,” Kasey said. “We’re walking the walk as well as talking the talk of sustainability.” Patrick Christ, a fourth-year in psychology, though, said that OSU not finding the problem until recently is an issue in itself. “It’s kind of frustrating that they let the lake run for so long before they brought someone in,” Christ said. “It’s a huge step backward to waste all that water to just make something look nice.”

Melt gourmet grilled cheese restaurant opens in C-Bus Kim Dailey Lantern reporter dailey.176@osu.edu While some other restaurants’ menus are simplistic in concept, Matt Fish said part of his restaurant’s goal is to provide gourmet entrées — on a grilled cheese sandwich. “If we can make it and put it on a sandwich, we’re going to do it. We’ve tried every nationality, every cuisine possible and it’s really worked for us,” Fish said Melt Bar and Grilled, a Cleveland-based restaurant specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches with gourmet ingredients, opened its first store in Columbus — and first beyond the Cleveland area — at 840 N. High St. in the Short North Arts District Friday. “Melt came about because of my dream to open the perfect restaurant,” Fish said. “I wanted to open up a place that was accessible to everybody, serve gourmet food but present it in a way that everyone could appreciate it and understand what it was and in a bar-type setting.” After seeing the Cleveland area’s lack of craft beer bars, Fish said the original idea was to open a beer bar that primarily served craft beers, as well as having a menu of 30 types of grilled cheese sandwiches that he would make. “I’m a culinary guy,” Fish said. “It all kind of flip-flopped. After opening, soon people found out we were serving these amazing grilled cheese sandwiches.” Fish said the success of serving the sandwiches became the main focus of the restaurant, which was founded in 2006. “I wanted to open up a bar that served really great food,” Fish said. “And I ended up opening up a restaurant that had a really good beer list.”

The restaurant has a happy hour special Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. where patrons can get $1 off draft beers. The specialty grilled cheese sandwiches range in cost from about $6.50 to $14.50. The restaurant also offers appetizers ranging in cost from about $6 to $8, soups from $3.50 to about $4 a bowl, salads from $6 to $10.50 and burgers starting at $10 with additional toppings costing extra. Fish said Melt’s menu is seasonal and changes every four months, and includes a monthly special sandwich, which is themed around a different holiday. In Cleveland, Fish said Melt has biweekly sandwich specials designed around certain movies playing at the local movie house, Cleveland Cinemas, as part of the Melt Bar and Grilled Late Shift film series. He said once the Columbus store is settled in, he would like to find a theater that would be interested in the concept. Fish said the decision to open up a location in Columbus, which he estimated cost more than $100,000, was “sort of strategic.” “(The developers of the building) were looking for something that Columbus had never seen before,” Fish said. “And they wanted to put a signature type restaurant in this facility.” Fish said he had looked at the Columbus market to open up a store for more than three years, but was not ready to “pull the trigger.” After the developers approached Fish more than a year and a half ago, he said he thought the opportunity would never come again. “This facility, with it being in the Short North, in a new building with a parking garage attached to it, it just seemed like the perfect storm.” Fish said. Fish said opening up the store in Columbus has been “a fun adventure.” “The entire community down here has been

very supportive of us,” Fish said. “It’s very welcoming. We have never felt once like the outsiders. We automatically felt like we’re part of the community.” James Harbaugh, 22, and Nick Smith, 21, of Columbus, said they would return to the Columbus location, after trying it in Cleveland. “I’m definitely returning,” Harbaugh said. “It was really good.” Smith said after a mix-up with his order at the Columbus Melt, the staff was very nice in fixing the problem. “I’m definitely trying out the Melt challenge the next time I visit,” Smith said. The Melt challenge is a contest in which patrons eat a grilled cheese sandwich with 13 different cheeses and three grilled bread slices, which is served with a side of fries and coleslaw, weighing in at more than five pounds. Those who finish the meal by themselves without interruptions are awarded a Melt T-shirt or pint glass, a $10 gift card and their name listed on the restaurant’s online Melt challenge hall of fame, according to the restaurant’s website. As for Melt’s future, Fish said ideally, he sees another location opening in the Columbus area and said he would look to open a location in Dublin, Easton or Polaris as well. “Everybody asks about the magic number,” Fish said of continuing Melt’s growth. “If Columbus is our fifth store and something happens and we have to stop at five, we stop at five. But if we can take this and blow it out, go nationwide and open up 100 stores with one in every state, why not? If we can do it, let’s do it.” The restaurant’s kitchen hours of operation are Monday through Thursday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. The bar is open every night until 2 a.m.

Kevin Devine to pop into Columbus in support of punk-rock effort ‘Bubblegum’ Caitlin Essig Managing editor for content essig.21@osu.edu When Kevin Devine comes to Columbus to perform at The Basement, fans might find him roaming other parts of town. “Columbus is actually, in that part of the country, one of my favorite places,” Devine said. “I think the shows are always really fun; I think you guys have really, kind of smart, vibrant, plugged-in people. And Jeni’s ice cream, that is out-of-control good.” Folk-rock musician Devine and his Goddamn Band are set to visit The Basement Tuesday, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Devine called being able to tour through America “a really lucky thing.” “What I kind of like about touring is making an effort to find the culture in each place that does make that place its own thing,” he said. “A lot of that I find through food and through talking to people.” He said he is most grateful and aware of the connections he’s made at tour stops all over the country — from his native New York, to Los Angeles, to Phoenix or Atlanta. “We have people in all of these places (on tour), and that’s amazing. Not just people who like the band, but friends,” Devine said. “You do something long enough and you just start accruing these people. And that’s pretty amazing to me.” Fans can expect this kind of friendly, intimate atmosphere in Devine’s Columbus show, said PromoWest Productions marketing director Marissa Luther.

Kevin Devine & the Goddamn Band are slated to perform at The Basement Nov. 19. “The Basement is the more intimate one of our venues, so the audience can expect to get much closer to the band,” Luther said. “Typically the band will come out after and meet fans or do signings, and you don’t always get that at other venues.”

She said The Basement has a standing-room only capacity of 300. Devine is perhaps most used to playing in intimate venues, as he said his history with music has been one of “slightly expanding attention” and “slowly expanding the circle” of fans and tour stops.

“It’s all been very gradual,” Devine said. “It’s been about a 20-year arc to this point from first playing in punk rock bands (as a teenager) to being in the position we’re in now. It’s a long story that I see as very connected like links on a chain.” The latest link on that chain includes Devine starting his own record label through a crowdfunding effort and releasing two albums simultaneously. He said being hands-on even when working with a label led him to want to see where crowdfunding could take him on his own, and with his “monumentally successful” Kickstarter campaign, releasing two albums at once seemed logical to him. “I was looking for reasons to justify the Kickstarter to me, and (releasing two albums) was the best thing I could think of,” he said. “Because I also think as a guy who does a few different kinds of music, I was sort of uniquely positioned to make, well like, let’s make a folk-rock record and a punkrock record and just put them out at the same time, because the whole spirit of this project is to do things that are antithetical to the prevailing wisdom of the music industry in 2013.” Devine’s Kickstarter campaign, which allows “backers” to support projects monetarily, raised nearly $115,000 in the span of the 45-day campaign. The two albums, “Bulldozer” and “Bubblegum,” were released Oct. 15. Devine’s current tour is in support of punk-rock effort “Bubblegum,” which Devine said was a more “outward” record, while “Bulldozer” is its antithesis, an “inward” record.

‘Bronies’ find camaraderie looking past pink pastels of TV’s ‘My Little Pony’ Kim Dailey Lantern reporter dailey.176@osu.edu The inevitable whirlpool of watching a television show grips you and gives you no chance of escaping, spinning you into catastrophic procrastination. One episode leads into two. Two episodes lead into watching an entire season in the course of a day. This is what happened when Ian Yanai, a fifth-year in criminology and sociology, watched “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic,” the cartoon series based off the My Little Pony toy line from Hasbro, for the first time. “It was all over my Facebook,” Yanai said about discovering the show. “I had guys that were like, ‘Hey, check this out,’ and I was like, ‘You know what? I’m not doing anything — I’ll watch an episode.’” Yanai shares his love for the show much like any other person belonging to the “MLP” fandom, who call themselves “Bronies.” Yanai said he describes a Brony as any person who actively watches “MLP,” as well as creates fan-made content and collects merchandise. “Any (person) that owns one piece of merchandise and enjoys the show thoroughly would be considered,” Yanai said. “You can’t just be a fair-weathered guy.” The term was coined to describe males who enjoy the show, but has since been adopted to describe females, too, Yanai said. “Some prefer the term Pegasister,” Yanai said, “but I’m not too fond of that. I think if you’re a Brony, you’re a Brony.” Some other students didn’t understand the appeal for adult men to watch “My Little Pony.” “That’s really weird,” Alexis Allen, a third-year in strategic communications, said after hearing what a Brony is. “There’s no way a guy could watch that show. I feel like they’d only watch it to mock it.”

Bronies Cory Page (left) and Jessie Steltz, pose for a picture for 5th-year in criminology, Ian Yanai, at BronyCon in Baltimore. Kyle Cook, a third-year in history and president of the Buckeye Brony Association at Ohio State, further described a Brony by saying it’s someone who embraces the six ideas and values of the show: honesty, loyalty, generosity, kindness, leadership and laughter. “If you look past the pink pastels of the show,” Cook said. “If you look past it for what its face value is, it has a lot deeper significance to people of just how to be good people because there is not a lot of shows these days that promote good values.”

Brony culture doesn’t reside behind a closed stable door — many social networking sites allow fans to connect with one another. “There’s a big Brony community on Google Plus — even though no one uses it,” Yanai said. “And Tumblr — oh my God, it’s insane. There’s ponies all over it.” Bronies have also held “My Little Pony” conventions around the country, including the Canterlot Gardens convention in the Cleveland area, Trotcon in Columbus and BronyCon in Baltimore or New York City, depending on the year. Yanai said he doesn’t go to Trotcon because the convention is catered more toward adult Bronies. “I think (conventions) should be kept a family event,” Yanai said. “The one in Baltimore is inclusive. There’s tons of kids everywhere.” Cook said the BBA attempted to hold a Midwest Brony meetup at OSU with Bronies from universities in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, but found it difficult to organize it. “Logistically, it would have been an absolute nightmare to get them here,” Cook said. “It would have been nuts to get the facilities.” He said the club plans to possibly hold a meetup at Trotcon since it will be meeting up at a third-party environment, which will make it easier to have discussions. With openly being a Brony, Yanai said he has received both positive and negative responses from the public, adding that he is frequently pointed out as a Brony at Home Depot, where he works. “One time I had decorated (my work apron) with a pony on it,” Yanai said. “I’ve had a bunch of guys come up to me and go, ‘Oh hey, you watch the show?’ and I’m like, ‘Uh, yeah, hi how can I help you today?’” Visit thelantern.com for the rest of this story.

Guide to College Fashion

Go wild, dress up ugly holiday sweaters the right way BReaNNa SOROKa Senior Lantern reporter soroka.15@osu.edu There’s an age-old tradition that gets me way more excited for the holidays than buying presents, decorating the house with mistletoe or even baking tons of delicious cookies: ugly holiday sweater parties. That’s right, the point of these parties is to wear the tackiest sweater you can find — that’s what makes these parties such a beautiful thing. But too often, I’ve seen attendees sacrifice the stylishness of the rest of their outfits when it’s just as easy to put together an incredible getup that’s still perfect for this themed gathering. Read on for tips on how to create the perfect ensemble that’s just as adorable with that giant reindeer on the sweater as it is with a classic Fair Isle knit. Keep it simple… The rest of your outfit, that is. The sweater is meant to be the main attraction at these parties, so a monochromatic theme throughout the rest of your clothing is essential. Black leggings or dark-washed jeans are a classic choice that help keep your outfit out of childlike territory. If you want to have a little more fun with your clothes, you can even add stark red or bright green leggings. Forever 21 has plenty of colored legging options, and many don’t cost more than $5, so it’s easy to go with whatever your heart desires in terms of legwear. …Except for the sweater When I said you need to wear the tackiest sweater you can find, I wasn’t exaggerating. You should be pulling out all the stops for an event like this, and if that means you need to augment your sweater personally, you should do just that. Does your sweater look too dull and boring? Brighten it up with some battery-operated tree lights wrapped around your torso. Sew on some extra baubles where needed. You can even hang tree ornaments off of yourself if you want — there’s no such thing as too much with these items of clothing. Go wild. Cozy up with your accessories Because these events usually happen as the temperatures go from just bearable to absolutely frigid, your outfit’s accessories can be as comfortable and snuggly as you want them to be. Wrap a knit scarf that’s taller than you around your neck, throw on those thick and cozy socks, and settle in for some delicious hot cocoa and chocolate peppermint cookies. If you think it’s necessary, there’s also nothing wrong with a cute ear-warmer or a cap to keep your head just as warm as the rest of you. Just make sure you plan according to your environment so you don’t sweat your way through all of your adorable accessories.

the student voice of The Ohio State University

“‘Bulldozer’ is a bit more refined, and ‘Bubblegum’ is a bit more immediate,” Devine said. “I think most people will associate (‘Bulldozer’) with the way I sound, which is sort of somewhat rockinflected but kind of very lyrical, sort of folk music with some spike to it. “‘Bubblegum’ is more of like a punk-rock record, more of ‘step on a distortion pedal, hit the drums really loud.’ It kind of nods more to the bands I grew up with, like Nirvana, The Pixies and Superchunk.” Through writing music and creating a mixture of different rock and folk sounds on his albums, Devine said he also has “little flecks of country music” in some of what he writes, which served as the

Finishing touches Makeup is just as important as the rest of your outfit, especially during the holiday party season. It’s the perfect excuse to go as glam as you can, so don’t be afraid of the classic silver or gold options on your face. If your skin is cooler in tone, silver eyeliner will add an icy touch while warm-toned ladies can get a hot effect with a gold eyeliner instead. If you’re especially daring, why not try mixing the two: silver shadow in the inner corners of your eyes and gold on the outside? A bronze powder or icy highlighter on your cheeks completes the look impeccably.

inspiration for his somewhat eccentric band name, Kevin Devine & The Goddamn Band. “I listened to a lot of country music at that time, and I thought ‘The Goddamn Band’ sounded like kind of, you know, shit-kickers, guys playing at saloons somewhere,” he said. “And I thought for our music it was kind of funny. They were pretty gentle, inward-looking songs, and thought it was kind of funny to have this sort of raucous name attached to it.” He said his intention was never to tie a religious context to the band, and in fact, didn’t think too deeply about the name at the time. “I’m always surprised when it’s an issue,” Devine said. “I always

But, you know, to each his own.” Tickets to see Devine and his Goddamn Band are available for $12.50 in advance and $15 the day of the show.

Senior running back Carlos Hyde (34) is hit by defenders during a game against Illinois Nov. 16 at Memorial Stadium. OSU won, 60-35.

Eddie George and Keith Byars. Those are the only players who have ever ran for more yards in a game for Ohio State than senior running back Carlos Hyde did in the Buckeyes’ win against Illinois (3-7, 0-6) last Saturday. In the 60-35 victory, Hyde rushed for 246 yards, which tied Archie Griffin for the third best single game rushing performance in school history. Hyde also added four rushing touchdowns and two catches for 26 yards and a touchdown. All of this without getting the start at running back. Before the game, it was announced Hyde would not be starting because of a “class issue.” Freshmen Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliott played in place of Hyde, who returned on the third play of the game. “I just kind of had my mindset ‘once you get in there, you have to go. You didn’t start the game off so once you get out there, you have to go,’” Hyde said in the postgame press conference. Although Hyde did score twice in the first half, once rushing and once receiving, it wasn’t until late in the game

when he left his stamp on the OSU record books. After Illinois cut the lead to 12 points with 8:49 left in the game, Hyde scored on back-to-back runs of more than 50 yards with less than five minutes left to put the game out of reach. “That last one, in my head I was thinking like ‘we could have done this the whole game,’” Hyde said. “The offensive line, they love power and my receivers, they do a great job on the outside of blocking. I give credit to those guys and my big runs and the offensive line. That last run I had energy and I feel like we could have had that momentum the whole game.” Junior quarterback Braxton Miller struggled on the day, only completing 13 of 29 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns, which forced OSU to rely on the running game. “We went back to basics a little bit because the passing game wasn’t working as we thought,” Miller said. “We kind of got the ball out to Carlos or me. We’ve got the best (offensive line) in the Big Ten or country (so) why not?” As a team, OSU totaled a season high 441 rushing yards against the Illini, with Miller also adding in a season-high

Bryant trying to ‘seize every moment’ despite being sidelined with injury Daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu It’s rare that Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer shows emotion. But after the game against Wisconsin Sept. 28 when senior safety Christian Bryant went down with a broken ankle, Meyer slammed his hand to the table and said losing players like Bryant was “the hardest part of this whole job.” Now Bryant’s final game as a Buckeye at Ohio Stadium is scheduled for this Saturday when No. 3 OSU (10-0, 6-0) takes on Indiana (4-6, 2-4) at 3:30 p.m., and he won’t get the chance to take the field. “I would say (Saturday) would probably be one of those emotional days for me,” Bryant said Monday. “Just knowing that it could be a possibility that it’s my last game in the ‘Shoe. And just walking out and seeing the fan’s reaction to me walking out of the tunnel for the last time I feel like it’s probably going to be a great experience.” Bryant, who has an outside chance at being given a medical redshirt if he chooses to apply for one, started the year as one of OSU’s most experienced defensive players, after starting 22 games before the year began for the Buckeyes, including all 12 in 2012. He started all five of the Buckeyes games this season, before going down against the Badgers. After the injury, junior linebacker Ryan Shazier switched numbers and went from wearing No. 10 to No. 2, to honor his teammate. Bryant said the gesture was very powerful and emotional, because he felt as though a part of him was still on the field that way. “That means the world to me,” Bryant said. “Just when Ryan came up to me about a week later asking me, can he wear the number? I didn’t really hesitate and telling him (yes), because it was one thing for a

that he probably has because he’s such a competitor so I know he wants to be out there with us,” Mewhort said. “He’s had such a great attitude … he’s there for us mentally every day, helping young guys and bring a great attitude around the facility. I can’t speak for him, but it’s going to be emotional. It’s going to be emotional for all of us knowing that he wants to be out there with us and he can’t.” Bryant was named one of eight captains before the season, and despite being hurt since early in the year, has walked out as a captain to participate in the pregame coin-toss in the past few weeks.

COMMENTARY

Slow start a disappointment for Cavaliers with offseason acquisitions Eran Hami Lantern reporter hami.2@osu.edu

Get the daily email edition!

www.thelantern.com/email

With the acquisition of former All-Star center Andrew Bynum, the return of coach Mike Brown and the first overall pick in the 2013 draft, Cleveland Cavaliers fans had a lot to give them hope. What had looked like a serious playoff contending team is now up for debate. The Cavs are off to a slow start this season, playing to a 4-7 record. They just ended a threegame losing streak by beating the Washington Wizards, 103-96, in overtime Saturday. With so many things going wrong, it is hard to see what is going right. Cleveland’s star player, guard Kyrie Irving, has struggled thus far this season. He is shooting 39.5 percent from the floor, a meager 35.1 percent behind the 3-point arc, while averaging just more than 21 points per game. To some people, these numbers might seem decent but in Cleveland fan’s eyes, Irving is held to a higher standard. Fans now question if the front office was wise in taking forward Anthony Bennett with the top pick in the draft. Bennett does not start, averages 11.7 minutes a game, just more than one point a game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving (left) attempts to beat a defender during a preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers Oct. 21 at the Schottenstein Center. Cleveland won, 104-93. and is shooting 14.3 percent from the floor. Not to mention, Bennett missed his first 15 field goal attempts of the season. The possibility of Bennett being sent to the NBA’s Development League exists. It is early in the season, but Mike Brown should be on the hot seat. Brown was successful when he had LeBron James or Kobe Bryant, but has yet to prove he can make a team that has few big names. He struggled with the Los Angeles Lakers and was fired after a 1-4 start in his second season.

Who is to say this isn’t a repeat of his coaching disaster last year? Without James, Brown has to find a way to get Cleveland back to the playoffs, or he will be another one-and-done coach. Adding on to the struggles of the ailing Cavs, team chemistry is at an all time low as confrontation has erupted in players-only meetings. Irving has also been confrontational on the sidelines, arguing that Brown should not have taken him out of the game against the Chicago Bulls Nov. 11. The arguments arise out

of the Cavs lack of defense in the second half, as they have blown second half leads numerous times this season. There are some positives fans can see through the gloomy fog. Power forward Tristan Thompson has started to break out and heavily contribute to the team. He is averaging 13 points a game and nearly 10 rebounds. Point guard Jarrett Jack brings an exciting burst of energy when he comes off the bench, averaging 9.8 points per game. Although only playing seven games, Bynum has done well to contribute on the defensive side of the ball. For the Cavs to have any hope, Bynum is going to need to start putting up numbers on both sides of the ball. But with Bynum’s health and talks of retirement, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start looking for another big man to play center. The Cavs’ struggles are relevant to their conference though. Just four teams in the Eastern Conference currently hold winning records (Indiana, Miami, Chicago, Atlanta). The season is still young, but a Cavalier playoff push needs to start now, every game counts.

sports COMMENTARY

Blind résumés show different look at BCS rankings Daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu As the college football season reaches its final stanza — just three weeks remain in the regular season — the discussion about which teams deserve a place in the top two of the BCS rankings, and thus a spot in the national championship, has intensified. Each of the top four teams, No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Florida State, No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Baylor, are undefeated and can make an argument for being one of those two teams. Although Alabama and Florida State currently hold a considerable lead over the Buckeyes and Bears, do they deserve to? If you take away the names of the schools and their current rankings, how would each team stack up against the others? So that’s what I did. Using Jerry Palm of CBSSports’ extended BCS rankings, which rank every team in the Football Bowl Subdivision, I came up with blind résumés of each of the four undefeated teams to line up against each other. I also factored out any team that is not eligible for the BCS rankings since their numbers cannot be a part of the process. This means teams that are not members of the Football Bowl Subdivision or are ineligible for postseason play are excluded.

Hyde from 6A 184 yards on the ground. Hyde said he came into the game knowing success could be had against Illinois on the ground, then-ranked No. 117 in the country in rushing defense. “I watched film and we have a cut out where it’s all explosive runs and I saw other teams have a lot of success on their running plays,” Hyde said. “I kept that in the back of my mind, ‘just be patient on your runs and let it come to you, and when it comes just explode.’ That’s exactly what I did.” After the game, OSU coach Urban Meyer said he feels like Hyde has been under utilized so

Tuesday November 19, 2013

Team 1: Team 1 has played against nine BCS eligible opponents with an average ranking of 58.3. It has a margin of victory of 40.9 points against these teams and have three wins against top 50 teams, with one top-10 victory. Team 2: Team 2 has played against eight BCS eligible opponents with an average ranking of 64.3. It has a margin of victory of 41 points against these teams and has three wins against top 50 teams, with no top-10 victories. Team 3: Team 3 has played against eight BCS eligible opponents with an average ranking of 68.3. It has a margin of victory of 22.6 points against these teams and has two wins against top 50 teams, with no top-10 victories. Team 4: Team 4 has played against nine BCS eligible opponents with an average ranking of 54.2. It has a margin of victory of 27.1 points against these teams and has four wins against top 50 teams, with no top-10 victories. Based on the numbers, the teams would most likely be placed with Team 4 at the top of the polls, followed by Team 1, Team 2 with Team 3 bringing up the rear. Putting names of the schools back in the

far this season, but it is nice to have a crutch like Hyde to lean on in tough situations. “He’s one of the best players on the team. I used him way too much last year and I don’t feel like we used him much this year,” Meyer said. “When you’re struggling throwing the ball and they’re loading the box, you have to create (something and) he certainly did.” Meyer added he thought the offensive line didn’t play “Ohio State-ish,” but improved as the game went on. One of the lineman, redshirtsenior left tackle Jack Mewhort agreed with Meyer, and added although Hyde’s performance was big, it could have been a

lot bigger. “We have a lot of stuff to clean up. That wasn’t, in my opinion, one of our best performances on offense,” Mewhort said Monday. “We had a big rushing game but we left a lot of yards out there so it could have been better … Carlos runs hard and if we block the guys we’re supposed to block, we’re going to get a lot of yards.” Next up, the Buckeyes (10-0, 6-0) are scheduled to face another bottom five run defense in Indiana (4-6, 2-4), who ranks No. 122 in the country but No. 16 in total offense, Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

KAYLA BYLER / Managing editor of design rankings, No. 1 would end up being Alabama, No. 2 Florida State, No. 3 Baylor and No. 4 OSU. Alabama’s schedule helps them immensely in terms of rankings, even though their scores have not been as dominant as Florida State or Baylor’s, and the better rankings of their opponents helps keep them ahead of Florida State. The biggest thing separating Florida State and Baylor for the second spot is the Seminoles 37-point win against No. 7 Clemson Oct. 19. Baylor’s schedule does get harder in the coming weeks, with a road trip to take on No. 10 Oklahoma State set for Saturday at 8 p.m., but for now, the Bears remain just behind Florida State. OSU brings up the rear in both average team

Bryant from 6A of the regular season, he said it is still a possibility that he could make a return for OSU’s bowl game. “It’s been brought up a few times,” Bryant said. “But right now, I’m still just kind of unsure what can happen and the progress with where I may be at that point it’s still up in the air.” Co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Everett Withers said Bryant is a “spark plug” for the OSU defense, even when he isn’t on the field. “He is the guy that everybody on that defense looks to,” Withers said. “So he’s the guy that if something isn’t going good, he’s going to let everybody know that it isn’t going good and why it isn’t going good … he has a tremendous role and I think our players feel good when he’s there.” Withers said replacing Bryant on and off the field has been an on-going process.

rankings and margin of victory against BCS eligible teams. The Buckeyes are hurt by Penn State being ineligible for the 2013 postseason. The Nittany Lions fell to OSU 63-14 Oct. 26, and would likely be ranked either in or around the top 50. Although you can’t base everything on statistics and have to factor in how each team plays any given Saturday, it is hard to look at the numbers and argue OSU should be in the national title game, let alone ahead of Baylor. With plenty of games left to play this year before the final BCS standings are announced, a lot could still change, but as of now OSU and Baylor will be at home Jan. 6 watching Florida State and Alabama duke it out for college football’s ultimate prize.

“Every time you lose a guy like that, you work every day to try to match it. It’s one of those deals where you’re really trying to match what he brings to practice, what he brings to the room,” Withers said. Bryant said although his injury had kept him out for a majority of his senior year, the experience has been allowed him to grow as a person. “I persevered just through obstacles. You can never think about what’s going to happen next because you have no idea,” Bryant said. “I mean you can just live in the moment and just seize every opportunity.”
