Urban Meyer has done it again. Ohio State’s football coach reeled in yet another top 10 recruiting class this winter, culminating Wednesday with 23 National Letters of Intent from some of the best high school players in the country arriving in Columbus on National Signing Day. The class — ranked No. 3 by Yahoo! Sports Rivals.com — includes nine players from the state of Ohio, but Meyer also went across the nation to bring in what he calls “a great class,” picking players from Georgia, New Jersey and Texas among others. Meyer said it’s a class that could end up being the best he has landed since he arrived in Columbus. “I think we won today,” Meyer said Wednesday. “I made it clear to our guys, (I’m) very pleased with their efforts today. That was a good class, a great class.” It’s the third year in a row Meyer’s recruiting class is ranked in the top 5 in the country, but this year’s group could be a little different — with the losses of key players like All-Americans junior linebacker Ryan Shazier and redshirt-junior cornerback Bradley Roby to the NFL Draft, some of the young guys could be counted on early. Among those Meyer mentioned as potential candidates for that role

were the four linebackers in the class — Raekwon McMillan, Kyle Berger, Dante Booker and Sam Hubbard — who play a position the coach said was an “emphasis” on the recruiting trail. “Just so everybody knows, there’s no redshirt plans for those players at all. We thought about that during the recruiting process,” Meyer said. McMillan is the nation’s top-ranked player at the position, coming to Ohio all the way from Hinesville, Ga. With the player being from a warmer climate than Columbus, some have wondered how Meyer was able to convince McMillan to come to OSU. “(Meyer) is really a great recruiter. He crosses all the Ts,” newly hired assistant head coach and defensive line coach Larry Johnson said. “My first in-home (visit) with him was awesome, really awesome. You watch a guy go to work (and) he’s got it all going on … he covers all his bases, photo by ritika sHaH / Asst. photo editor

know the family, know the kids and that’s pretty awesome what he does. He gets that involved. You call it aggressive, but I think that’s his style.” Meyer did it while he was at Florida, too — signing six classes, four of which ranked in the top three, according to Rivals.com (the other two being No. 15 and No. 11). Getting the upper echelon of players is how a program thrives consistently, Meyer said, but getting them to buy into what the school is selling comes with assistant coaches successfully selling what he calls the “Ohio State brand.” “The brand is so strong,” Meyer said, referencing a time this offseason when wide receivers coach Zach Smith had developed such a relationship with recruit Jalyn Holmes that Holmes felt comfortable calling Smith’s son via FaceTime. “I usually walk in because I’m kind of the closer. There they set the groundwork, (and) I know where we’re headed when I walk in that home. And the number one thing without question is relationships being built.” Meyer puts such an emphasis on recruiting that he mentioned it being one of the first things he thought of when OSU arrived in South Florida for its Discover Orange Bowl matchup against Clemson. “Recruiting is what I first saw when I saw the Orange Bowl,” Meyer said Dec. 19. “The respect I

ESL students face barriers

Some miffed OSU C-Bus stayed open DaniEl BEnDtsEn Senior Lantern reporter bendtsen.1@osu.edu Despite seeing the largest snowfall of the winter so far, classes went on at Ohio State’s main campus Wednesday, something that didn’t sit well with some students. “Class should have been canceled because I almost slipped like 10 times while coming to class,” said Shannon Gardner, a second-year in psychology. “This morning, I honestly felt like it was dangerous to walk.” Undergraduate Student Government President Taylor Stepp, a fourth-year in public affairs, said he was disappointed the university stayed open. “Even High Street was a mess, and the side streets were just terrible, and I think that’s very, very dangerous, especially when some of the snow had iced over,” Stepp said. “So I was very unhappy to see that we still were open. My inherent concern isn’t necessarily with the people walking, though there’s a danger in that too, but with everyone who had to drive.” In an email Wednesday afternoon, Lindsay Komlanc, OSU spokeswoman for Administration and Planning, said the university had received two calls about people who had slipped and fell on campus. One garnered an emergency medical service response, but Komlanc said the information about the call didn’t show whether the person was transported. Some professors took matters into their own hands, choosing to cancel their classes, and some students gave themselves a “snow day.” “I didn’t go to class anyways,” said Bobby Jubak, a fourth-year in health information management. “I just had one class this morning and my teacher said, ‘If you don’t want to come, don’t come.’” Jubak said the weather was severe enough to warrant OSU to close and said he stayed up until

smokinG Ban at Ohio State Bus driver reported for menacing kayla BylEr Managing editor of design byler.18@osu.edu A traffic control officer reported aggravated menacing at the Schottenstein Center Jan. 29 during a men’s basketball game after the “Nut House Bus” driver threatened to “cut” the traffic control officer when he asked the driver to move his bus. The bus, which is a Campus Area Bus Service bus that takes student ticket holders from Ohio State’s campus to the Schottenstein Center for men’s basketball games, was blocking a crosswalk. The driver began arguing with the traffic control officer, gave him the middle finger using both hands and said, “I have a knife and I will cut you up,” according to a University Police report. The driver was said to be an OSU Transportation & Traffic Management employee in the report. An officer responded to the situation and spoke to the driver, who said he “lost his cool” and did not actually have a knife, according to the report. The traffic control officer did not press charges. There were 22 total thefts, two of which were thefts of autos, reported on OSU’s campus this week from Jan. 29 to Wednesday. Two men were arrested for stealing pretzels and other food from the Ohio Union food court. A 19-year-old male student was arrested for stealing a large pretzel and two chocolate milk protein drinks, valued at a total of $9.50, Jan. 29 at about 11:30 a.m. The next day, a 22-year-old man not affiliated with OSU was arrested for stealing a “gourmet meal,” a large pretzel and a Coca-Cola drink, valued at a total of $9.25, at about 12:30 p.m., according to a University Police report. In other incidents, a 33-year-old man and a 42-year old woman, neither of whom were affiliated with OSU, were arrested for criminal trespass at Doan Hall, located at 410 W. 10th Ave. and part of the Wexner Medical Center, Jan. 30 at about 2 p.m. A 22-year-old man not affiliated with OSU was arrested for possession of drugs near Woody Hayes

OSU ban of e-cigarettes sparks disagreement HannaH cHEnEtski Lantern reporter chenetski.4@osu.edu Ohio State’s campus-wide tobacco ban includes at least one product that uses no tobacco at all, but its mimicked appearance has OSU officials asking students, faculty and staff to keep e-cigarettes off university grounds. About five percent of students at OSU have been affected by the campus-wide tobacco ban, according to Dr. Peter Shields, deputy director of Wexner Medical Center James Comprehensive Cancer Center. Shields said most of the questions the hospital, which has been tobacco-free since 2006, gets on the ban are about the enforcement of the ban and on e-cigarettes. “Electronic cigarettes are included in the ban. Actually, it’s any tobacco product, anything that mimics a tobacco product with tobacco,” Shields said in a meeting with The Lantern Jan. 16. The campus-wide tobacco ban went into effect Jan. 1 in order to promote healthier life choices among students, faculty, staff and guests of OSU. The campus-wide ban was announced in 2013, and was set to take effect Aug. 1. In August, however, university officials said the ban would not be enforced until 2014. E-cigarettes are included in the ban because they contain nicotine. The difference between e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes is that they do not contain tobacco, which makes them arguably “healthier,” according to Discovery Fit and Health. There is a mechanism in e-cigarettes that heats up liquid nicotine, which turns to a vapor that smokers inhale and exhale, like a regular cigarette. E-cigarettes aren’t subject to U.S. tobacco laws because they do not contain tobacco, which means they can be purchased at any age, not just by people over 18. Clinical studies of e-cigarettes have also not been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website, so what chemicals they contain and the overall safety of the product is unknown. Shields said e-cigarettes might be particularly appealing to children and encourage nicotine addiction at a young age. “Right now they’re able to be sold to anyone of any age, so an 11-year-old can go in there and get

He also said younger people smoking is a problem because it can become an addiction. “It’s really an adolescent disease,” Shields said of smoking. “I mean, most times people start smoking (at) 11 years old, 12 years old, 14 years old, 15 years old, but it takes years to get really addicted and it’s during the college years that really some people get cemented.” Some OSU students who use e-cigarettes said they don’t mind OSU’s ban of the product. Michael Moline, a fourth-year in strategic communication who uses e-cigarettes, said he understands and appreciates what OSU is doing and will continue to abide by and support the regulation.

“It’s definitely a change,” Moline said. “I’ve found ways to keep my personal habit away from campus.” Moline said he uses his device at home. OSU is not alone in its ban, as other Big Ten schools have similar policies. The University of Illinois, Indiana University, University of Iowa, University of Michigan and Purdue University also have campus smoking bans, and the University of Minnesota has a smoking ban set to take effect July 1. Iowa has had a ban in place since 2008, and the university is currently determining if e-cigarettes should be banned in addition to cigarettes, said Iowa spokesman Tom Moore. Minnesota’s proposed ban would include e-cigarettes from the start, according to the

Adjusting to US culture, social norms a struggle for some intl. students Emily Hitchcock Lantern reporter hitchcock.47@osu.edu Lin Lu has a great sense of humor, but she might not get the punch line of your joke. Abdulrahman Alsuhaibani is outgoing, but he rarely used to talk to strangers. For some international students at Ohio State, language barriers block more social opportunities than academic ones. Alsuhaibani, a third-year in chemical engineering from Saudi Arabia, said his English instruction began at age 12 with lessons from his father. Before coming to the U.S. in 2011, his family paid for him to take extra English classes at the English Language Institute, Alsuhaibani said. The ELI, located at a university in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, aims to “provide intensive instruction of English as a foreign language,” according to its website. Alsuhaibani said those classes, though, didn’t completely resolve the issue. “When I first came here, I thought everyone would understand me, but my English actually wasn’t that good,” he said. Engineering courses came easily, but an English class that required group work and voicing opinions out loud was stressful, Alsuhaibani said. “I hated that class, not because of the material, but because of the pressure to be understood by classmates,” Alsuhaibani said.

When I first came here, I thought everyone would understand me, but my English actually wasn’t that good. Abdulrahman Alsuhaibani Third-year in chemical engineering from Saudi Arabia He said many international students think Americans won’t understand their speech, so they remove themselves from situations where they have to speak English. Lu, a graduate student in educational technology at OSU who is from China, said the language barrier can make it hard for international students to become friends with American students. “I make friends in China by making some jokes, but it’s very hard for me to make jokes in English,” Lu said. “Sometimes, we can’t understand what the points are in English jokes because of the language.” Lu said she only understood about half of what her professors were saying when she first came to the U.S. a year and a half ago, but understanding her classmates’ jokes was still more challenging than comprehending lecture material, which led to other problems. “It is very important for international students to make American friends because you are here,

and you have to try to get involved with American culture, even though it’s different,” Lu said. Both Lu and Alsuhaibani are participants in the English Conversation Partners program at OSU, which matches international students with American students to practice English and learn about U.S. culture. According to the program’s website, students participating are required to meet for at least one hour per week. Charlotte Petera, a second-year in Korean, said she volunteers as an English conversation partner because she understands learning a language in a classroom doesn’t always prepare students for an environment where few people speak their native language. “The other day I had to explain ‘fancy schmancy’ to one international partner and I had to Google a way to explain it,” Petera said. “I’m actually learning a lot about my own language use by teaching.” Some American OSU students, though, lack patience with international students because they don’t understand how difficult it is to be expected to speak a language besides their own, Petera said. “Being able to understand somebody else’s fear and still work with them to overcome it is an invaluable skill to have, and not everyone here has it,” Petera said. Renée Bishai, program coordinator for global engagement in OSU’s Office of International Affairs, said international students are more likely to feel comfortable attempting to communicate when they

are interacting with Americans who are willing to help and be patient. “Sometimes it’s easy for both Americans and international students to stay comfortable within their nationality groups,” Bishai said. “However, it’s important that students know there are a lot of ways for them to get involved with other cultures other than their own.” Bishai said the program generally has more international students than American. “We always have so many more international students requesting partners,” she said. “I always hear from students who participate that they have a great time, and they learn and that they are also benefiting from the program.” Taylor Larr, a third-year in psychology, said he is taking Spanish because it is a requirement for his degree, but added he would feel unprepared if he was to attend school at a Spanish-speaking university. “I would try to find common interests with other English speaking students, but it would be hard to make friends and seem funny if no one could understand you,” Larr said. Alsuhaibani said things have gotten better with time for him. “In the beginning, it was outside of my expectations that people wouldn’t be able to understand me so I would just be silent,” Alsuhaibani said. “But now that I’ve gained some confidence with my English, that barrier has been removed and I can talk to anyone.”

Snow from 1A

The weather left a good deal of work for OSU crews, who began plowing and treating campus roads and sidewalks Tuesday night, Komlanc said. At about 7 a.m. Wednesday, the focus switched to salting roadways and sidewalks around campus. Crews remained working to salt and remove ice at about 4:20 p.m., Komlanc said, and would continue “as long as necessary.” OSU’s Newark campus was the only branch campus to witness a full closure Wednesday, although Wooster and Lima campuses canceled morning classes. OSU’s main campus has canceled classes three days in 2014. Executive Vice President and Provost Joseph Steinmetz sent an email Jan. 29 giving professors permission to use the day before exams, known as reading day, to make up classes or to use Feb. 8 and 15, both Saturdays, for seven-week classes.

3 a.m. the night before to help others dig out snow from around their cars. Though many classes went on as planned, the university encouraged leniency in taking attendance. OSU’s Emergency Management office released a statement Wednesday morning encouraging supervisors and faculty “to use flexibility for those who cannot make it to campus due to weather conditions.” There were also instances of “minor property damage crashes” involving cars Wednesday, Komlanc said. She added that the number of crashes that happened Wednesday was not yet available as of Wednesday evening because the “information won’t be finalized until the reports are officially logged into the system.” About 6.9 inches of snow and sleet fell in Columbus Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service, along with a layer of freezing rain early Wednesday morning.

continuations have for the entire state of Florida is great … We’re hitting it real hard down there as we speak.” Maybe that’s what makes Meyer effective at what he does — he’s always recruiting, always forming relationships and always thinking ahead. It trickles down to his assistants, too. “Coach Meyer does a phenomenal job of making sure that we stay on the edge,” running backs coach Stan Drayton said Wednesday, referencing how Meyer wants his peers to take note of the recruiting styles of other teams and coaches. “If those particular teams are doing a great job of going out, getting the top talent in the country, no matter how they went about doing it, OK, then he wants to know if it’s a fit for us to continue to do what we’re doing, or is it a fit for us to go out there and explore other ways to go about doing our business,” Drayton said. “He has this competitive spirit that we all have under him and if there’s a guy or there’s a coach or a recruiter or a team that’s out

E-cigarettes from 1A Minnesota Daily, though no official policy has been announced for the university. Shields stressed that OSU’s ban relies on a peer pressure form of enforcement. That means that if someone is seen using tobacco products on campus, there is not a definitive punishment. People are expected to merely tell the person using the product to stop and educate them on the ban. However, there are mechanisms to enforce the policy if the person does not listen. “It goes to the department chair if someone reports (a faculty member). The department chair calls them in and says, ‘You can’t really smoke here,’ and if they still do, then it goes up to the dean with Human Resources and people stop smoking,” Shields said. Reported violations of the tobacco ban will be handled by the Office of Human Resources, not University Police. OSU has spent about $43,000 of its $100,000

there doing something really well and having tremendous success from it, then we’re going to find out what it is and try to better it or embrace it ourselves. No doubt about it.” Meyer’s competitive streak appears to be a part of every single thing he does, from recruiting, to coaching, to keeping score. So much so that he said he was “disappointed” OSU didn’t finish with the top recruiting class in the nation (that belonged to Alabama for the fourth year in a row). “I hear people say it’s not important. I disagree,” Meyer said. “As long as you’re keeping score, we’re going to try to win. I’m disappointed we weren’t the No. 1 recruiting class in the country. Our staff knows we’re disappointed about that. “Is that the final end-all? No … And there is a correlation between how teams do where your team is ranked, recruiting class is ranked. But certainly that’s not the final product because you’ve got to coach and develop them and get them here.”

tobacco ban signage budget to make sure campus visitors remember to put out their cigarettes. Signs have been placed outside several university buildings, including the Ohio Union, and banners have been hung in parking garages. Aaron Miller, a third-year in agriscience education, used to use dip but has started using e-cigarettes, though he said he’s even begun moving away from those since the campus ban started. He said the ban has affected him as a user of tobacco products. “Using smokeless tobacco is 100 percent a personal choice,” Miller said. “It affects no one except the user.” Miller said he has had to find different areas to continue his habit. “I don’t agree with these changes,” Miller said. “College is a chance to grow up and I feel like this ban is not helpful for ensuring a healthier campus. A lot more people get hurt fighting in drunken brawls than do from putting a good dip in.”

Johnson, Ash ready to make impact at OSU Daniel rogers Asst. sports editor rogers.746@osu.edu When Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer gets into recruiting mode, it isn’t all about the players. He finds a way to woo coaches, too. After the departures of co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Everett Withers and defensive line coach Mike Vrabel, Meyer had two vital positions to fill on a defense that allowed an average of 377.4 yards per game and ranked No. 47 in the country. Now after hiring two new coaches — both of whom spent time at rival schools — Meyer said he is pleased with his new hires. “We replaced (Vrabel and Withers) with Larry Johnson and Chris Ash, but a couple of comments with those gentlemen we hired. First, they wanted to be here, they both had very, very good jobs and they wanted to be here,” Meyer said to the media Wednesday. Johnson, who takes over as defensive line coach after 18 years with Penn State, inherits a unit that is set to return all four starters and helped spearhead the country’s ninth-ranked running defense. Johnson said he can’t wait for a chance to work with the group of players. “Just watching from afar and watching it on videotape, I think it’s a very talented young group,” Johnson said Wednesday. “I can’t wait to get my hands on them. I’ve had two chances to watch them and I’m like a little kid. It’s like I’ve got some new toys to play with. I’m really excited to impart my wisdom to these guys and see how they respond.” Junior Michael Bennett, sophomores Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington and freshman Joey Bosa totaled 24 of OSU’s 42 sacks this past season. Meyer said he took notice of Johnson when putting together his initial staff at OSU, but didn’t hire him at the time because of Vrabel. “Larry Johnson is a guy (I have) had great respect for (for) many years,” Meyer said. “Made a phone call two years ago when I was hired here in December, whatever year that was, I called Larry. We discussed Ohio State, but then I made the decision to hire Mike Vrabel. We just didn’t have a spot. Noah Spence’s dad called and said Larry (Johnson) would like to talk to

you about a position … And the communication was great. We went and met in Indianapolis … and it was a no-brainer on our end.” Although Johnson’s pedigree as a coach is impressive, his abilities as a recruiter find a way to be noticed. Johnson said it is his “brand” that allows him to recruit players well. “I think obviously it’s my niche but I think the brand that I have is, I’m a teacher, I’m a fundamental development kind of guy,” he said. “I want to develop players into outstanding people and players and I think that all goes together.” Although the defensive line heads into 2014 with momentum, the Buckeyes’ secondary — which is now headed by former Arkansas defensive coordinator and secondary coach Chris Ash — doesn’t have quite the same hype. The unit finished the year ranked No. 112 in the country after giving up an average of 268 yards per game. It also loses four regular contributors in

redshirt-senior safeties Corey “Pitt” Brown and C.J. Barnett, senior safety Christian Bryant and redshirtjunior cornerback Bradley Roby. Meyer said it is Ash’s job to work on the pass defense. “He’s got a serious responsibility. That’s to improve our pass defense. He’ll be in charge of the entire back end of our defense,” Meyer said. Ash — who was named co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach upon his arrival in Columbus — said Wednesday he understood what Meyer wanted out of him as a coach. “When we met first, he discussed his vision for the defense and what he wanted to see when the film was turned on … There has been a great tradition of outstanding defenses here at Ohio State, (but) the last couple years it just wasn’t to the level that they wanted. Coach wanted to make some changes and go a different direction,” Ash said.

Senior center Ashley Adams (33) takes a shot during a game against Michigan State Jan. 26 at the Schottenstein Center. OSU lost, 82-68.

Although the Ohio State women’s basketball team lost its last game, the Buckeyes are still standing tall. The roller coaster ride that has been the team’s 2013-14 season is set to make its next stop in West Lafayette, Ind., to take on the No. 25 Purdue Boilermakers (15-7, 5-5) Thursday. The Buckeyes (14-11, 4-5) are coming off of a loss against Wisconsin Sunday, a game from which coach Kevin McGuff said he would like to move forward. “We just have to get back to practice,” McGuff said Wednesday. “That is our formula. We practice well, prepare well, we will play well. Hopefully, we can do that.” Despite the poor performance against the Badgers, OSU is still

projected to be one of the “last four in” to the NCAA women’s college basketball tournament according to ESPN’s Bracketology. With a road game against a ranked team looming, McGuff said he does not like to put too much emphasis on projections or a particular game. “I do not ever look at that stuff until we are done playing,” McGuff said concerning the ESPN projections. “What happens when you start saying ‘This is a huge game because…’ then you get to the next game and it is not as big.” OSU redshirt-junior guard Amy Scullion said the win against the Boilermakers in their first meeting was a result of consistent offense and inspired defense. “We played well, we played hard, we made shots,” Scullion said. “That is a big thing for us. When our offense is clicking, it seems like our defense is a lot better.” Fellow Buckeye, junior guard

Raven Ferguson, who has led the Buckeyes in scoring three out of the last four games, said the problem for OSU has been a lack of focus. “We need to focus on the finish and finish plays,” Ferguson said. “We just need to play harder as a team.” The Boilermakers will likely be without their leading scorer, redshirt-senior guard KK Houser, who tore her ACL in a loss at Michigan State Sunday. Houser scored a game-high 26 points on 9-20 shooting in Purdue’s loss to OSU Jan. 2. “(Purdue is) going to try and win for her,” McGuff said about Houser’s injury. “I think you will see an incredibly inspired effort (from Purdue) Thursday night.” The Boilermakers rely heavily on their three point shooting ability, as they shoot 38.7 percent from beyond the arc, good for second in

Sherman shouldn’t be judged based on one interview Gregory Edward hriczo Lantern reporter hriczo.2@osu.edu In the two weeks between the NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl XLVIII, every person who encountered any type of sports media likely learned the name of Richard Sherman. The third-year cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks stole headlines from many other worthy story lines heading into the biggest sporting event of the year. Denver Broncos Quarterback Peyton Manning breaking singleseason passing records and leading the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl in his second season after returning from a career-threatening neck injury? The NFL’s best offense squaring off against the NFL’s best defense in a true test of an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object? How would the Seahawks’ offense, with running back Marshawn Lynch arguably being the only player who would rank in the top 10 of NFL players at his position (Lynch finished with 1,257 yards on the ground, good for sixth in the

league), keep up with the prolific scoring of the Broncos? All of these buzzworthy topics took a backseat to the controversy surrounding the 25-year-old defensive back’s on-camera reaction to a sideline reporter’s questions after the Seahawks’ Jan 19 victory. Sherman’s deflection of a pass intended for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree into the waiting arms of linebacker Malcolm Smith sealed the NFC Championship victory and a Super Bowl berth for Seattle. With the attention of the football world on him, Sherman had set himself up for a potentially huge payday and possibly some new endorsement deals. After Sunday’s game, Sherman’s name did not make the front page of many newspapers after he turned in a quiet but efficient performance in Seattle’s 43-8 victory over Denver. He was credited with three tackles and one pass deflection in a game where his most noticeable effects on the game were the two times play was stopped while Sherman sprawled on the turf in pain. Sherman was carted off the field during the fourth quarter with a high

He had practically forcibly grabbed the spotlight while enthusiastically proclaiming himself to be the “best corner in the game” in the postgame interview with Fox’s Erin Andrews after his team’s 23-17 win.

Despite not making any spectacular individual plays or boasting an impressive stat line, Sherman played an integral role in a team effort that held Denver and its NFL MVP quarterback to one score in the entire game. Manning never looked

Sternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy goes beyond controversies, lockouts

talk show host Jim Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio show in June 2012. When Rome asked if the 2012 NBA Draft had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;rigged,â&#x20AC;? Stern responded with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you stopped beating your wife yet?â&#x20AC;? Clearly not the way a leader of men should conduct himself. There was also the more recent Chris Paul trade fiasco that occurred in 2011 when Stern vetoed a highly popular trade that would have sent the All-Star guard from the New Orleans Hornets (who are owned by the NBA) to the Los Angeles Lakers, much to the disdain of NBA fans. Despite his downfalls, Stern was able to globalize the NBA. When he took over in 1984, NBA games were televised in just two countries (U.S., Spain). Now, NBA games can be viewed on television in more than 200 countries and territories. Compared to other commissioners across the country, Stern has been a breath of fresh air for the professional sports community. Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig will forever be known as the commissioner who dealt with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steroid Eraâ&#x20AC;? and in my opinion did a very poor job doing so, as players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens provided fans with so many tainted memories. Of course there is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite commissioner to criticize, National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell who, since taking over for Paul Tagliabue in 2006, has been a mainstay of harsh words by fans and controversy since day one. After all of that, we have Stern, who aside from a radio outburst and a few lockouts (which every professional sports league endures), has been a refreshing reminder of what professional sports in this great country of ours can be.

James Grega Jr. Lantern reporter grega.9@osu.edu

Then-NBA Commissioner David Stern talks with a fan before Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs June 20 at the AmericanAirlines Arena. Miami won, 95-88.

For the first time in 30 years, the NBA is set to have a new commissioner at the helm. David Stern retired Saturday, and his successor, Adam Silver, took over the same day. Sternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy, like many others who sit on the throne of professional sports, will forever be debated as to whether or not he was successful in his time as commissioner. For me, there is no question that Stern was the most successful commissioner we have seen in our time. When Stern took over Feb. 1, 1984, he inherited a league that contained just 23 teams, and the average player salary was $250,000 according to The New York Times. In Sternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30 years as commissioner, seven franchises have been added to the NBA and the average player salary is upwards of $5 million. Stern was also very lucky as he was able to introduce NBA greats such as Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant and of course LeBron James. But what will Sternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy ultimately be? For all that he did for the league, he like any man, had his shortcomings. During his 30 years at the top of the NBA, the league endured four separate lockouts, two of which resulted in shortened seasons and lost revenue. Stern also brought controversy on himself when appearing on sports

Ash added that he expects his team to play one way: at full throttle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, you play fast, you play with reckless abandon, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fast, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re physical, you throw your body around. You play without hesitation,â&#x20AC;? Ash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no confusion, you know exactly what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. You can react to your key and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one speed: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full speed. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way we gotta play.â&#x20AC;? In each of his last two seasons at Wisconsin, before he took the job at Arkansas for what ended up being his lone year there this past season, Ash coached defenses that finished in the top 20 in passing yards allowed per game. Even with the new additions to the coaching staff, Meyer said he plans on taking a more involved role in the defense in the coming seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be more involved than I ever have been, just to make sure that we get up to standard at

Ohio State on (the) defensive side of the ball with emphasis on pass defense,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said. The Buckeyes are scheduled to get their 2014 season underway Aug. 30 against Navy at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. But before the season kicks off, there are some things the coaches need to learn about being a part of the OSU program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much to learn. I walked in the first day and someone said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey coach, no blue pens,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of little things that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to learn pretty fast when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking the team up north â&#x20AC;Ś As far as football and all those things, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy. The learning (of) the ins and outs of Ohio State football, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the challenge for me.â&#x20AC;? But even with all of the new things he has to learn, Johnson said at least one aspect of the change is a plus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife said I look good in red, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good start.â&#x20AC;?

comfortable in the pocket, and he often checked down to short-yardage passes. He threw two interceptions, lost a fumble, was sacked, was involved in a safety after his center snapped the ball over his head, and had eight of his passes batted down in a disappointing outing. Sherman might not have earned a spot on the Super Bowl highlight reel, but at least he did not turn in a dud like Manning. Most importantly, Sherman added â&#x20AC;&#x153;Super Bowl Championâ&#x20AC;? to a rĂŠsumĂŠ that already includes being a two-time firstteam All-Pro and Stanford graduate. Hopefully, his calmer postgame demeanor this time around will silence his critics, at least temporarily. Social media exploded with derision and racial slurs directed toward Sherman after his outspoken on-air rant in the Andrews interview. Despite being loud, Sherman does not have any obvious character flaws or negative history and would actually make a great role model for young athletes. He was salutatorian of his high school

class of Dominguez High School in Compton, Calif., and attended a college known for academics instead of athletics, graduating after five years with a degree in communications and starting a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instead of leaving early for the NFL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted to make that known to people that you can go to Stanford from Compton,â&#x20AC;? Sherman said when he was drafted. After the deciding play in the NFC Championship Game, Sherman congratulated Crabtree by saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;helluva gameâ&#x20AC;? and extending a handshake. Crabtree reacted by shoving Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facemask, which presumably was the catalyst for Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now-infamous rant. The world should judge Sherman on his credentials and achievements instead of his volume in one interview. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven himself to be one of the best corners in the league, if not the best, as he claimed. Or, if Sherman goes off on another rant, maybe he can rant about his support of academics, good sportsmanship and opposition of illicit drugs. It would be hard to call him a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thugâ&#x20AC;? after a rant like that.

the Big Ten. McGuff said he will stress the importance of defending the arc to his team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They shoot it great,â&#x20AC;? McGuff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can really light people up from the three point line. We are going to have our hands full defensively. We will need a great effort on that end of the floor.â&#x20AC;? Although the Boilermakers shoot well from deep, they are not a very big team, and roster lists their tallest player as redshirt-junior center Camille Redmon who stands at 6 feet 4 inches. The Buckeyes seem to excel against smaller teams as they blew out an Illinois team, 90-64, Jan. 30 whose tallest player stands at 6 feet 3 inches. OSU senior center Ashley Adams and redshirt-freshman center Lisa Blair both stand taller than 6 feet 5 inches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that when we play smaller teams, we get our post players involved early and that kind of builds confidence for the team,â&#x20AC;? Scullion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are easy buckets for us and I think we build off of that.â&#x20AC;? The Buckeyes are set to tip off with the Boilermakers Thursday at 7 p.m.

Depicting The Delta Saints sound might be a difficult task. A diverse mix of Delta blues, funk and classic rock are all terms used to depict Delta Saints. The band’s genre is hard to pigeonhole, but The Delta Saints’ singer, Ben Ringel, said the band’s sound is a cominbation of Delta blues, funk and classic rock. Nashville-born band The Delta Saints are scheduled to make a Columbus appearance at Newport Music Hall Friday. Casey Bridgeman, a representative of the band, said in an email the group is often described as “bayou rockers.” Ringel said he doesn’t love that description, but acknowledged it works to describe the group. The unusual melding of styles is still a work in progress, David Supica, the band’s bassist, said in an email.

“In the past, we were a little more clumsy with cutting and pasting influences,” he said. “A funk verse here with a straight delta blues chorus there.” The “cutting and pasting” was part of the band’s beginnings in “cliché ‘let’s jam’ sessions” in a one-bedroom apartment in Nashville, back when the members were students at Belmont University, Ringel said. But the process has continued to get easier as part of the group’s evolution, Supica said — possibly because the band’s members spend so much time together. Between local gigs, concerts in Europe and now, an international tour with country rock group, Blackberry Smoke, the band is busy. “We’re on the road between 200 and 250 days a year,” Ringel said. “I have a couple friends outside the band, but we (the band) spend so much time together, we’re such a close knit group.” Ringel said even in the band members’ limited free time, they might try to go their separate ways but it’s never long before they call one another and say “Hey, wanna go grab a beer?”

And while the friends all love traveling and seeing new things, spending so much time away from home can be tiring, Ringel said. “The misconception is that rock and roll is an everyday party,” he said. “It’s a job — but it’s a fantastic, phenomenal job.” That job is set to bring the band to open for Blackberry Smoke’s Fire In The Hole tour at the Newport Music Hall. It’s not the band’s first time in Columbus, however. “We actually have really fond feelings of Columbus,” Supica said. “The Floorwalkers are some great buddies of ours and we’ve had a blast with them in that town. “One of my favorite shows happened at (Ruby Tuesday) when we booked a last minute show with The Floorwalkers and it turned into an all out super jam. I’m excited to get back to town in a bigger venue and have some more good times.” Doors for Friday’s concert are set to open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $17 in advance and $20 at the door.

The Apple-Bottom Gang is setting out to solve a problem. For the country western band, that problem lies in today’s most popular country music. “There is not a lot of country in today’s country music,” said Ian Hummel, the lead vocalist and founder of The Apple-Bottom Gang. “They don’t have a lot of that soul that country music used to have. It’s pop music with fiddles and banjos thrown into the mix. We’re trying to put the western back into country western music.” Mike Scamfer, otherwise known as “Steamboat Curly Bill”, the bass player in the group, echoed his bandmate’s sentiments. “I wouldn’t even call myself a true country musician,” Scamfer said. “But, I can tell you that whatever they’re playing on the radio sounds to me more like pop music than country music.”

Hummel, who grew up listening to Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and George Jones, among other country music artists, said he saw the void of “real” country and sought to fill it — creating The Apple-Bottom Gang about four years ago. “I wanted to remember the country, the old stuff, that I grew up with,” Hummel said. “I wanted to write new, old-sounding country songs. I put together The AppleBottom Gang with some old friends and some new friends and now it’s been about four years.” Hummel said recreating an older sound is all about the feeling, not only of the songs themselves, but of the artists as well. “It’s a matter of your mindset,” Hummel said. “Try to be true to the songs you cover and new songs you write and try to be true to the feel of the old stuff as well. It’s all about having fun with it, the idea is that you want to have as much fun with it as possible.”

Rapper Drake to become the next president of OSU CORY FRAME Lantern reporter frame.28@osu.edu

Drake attends the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards at the Barclays Center Aug. 25 in New York.

Country from 1B To help formulate this older vibe, Hummel and his bandmates thought of nicknames for one another that invoke memories of old country western films. From “Cooter Houston” to “Stinky Fingers,” the names, Hummel said, are all part of the way the band continually tries to cultivate its image. “Most musicians are kind of characters. They have a different mindset,” Hummel said. “I thought for this band, we could have some fun and have some old country-sounding names and give them a character to play off of.” While their names might be fake, the relationships between the members of the group are not. Playing together for nearly four years, The AppleBottom Gang is a tight-knit group of musicians, Hummel said. “I love them all,” Hummel said. “They’re all characters. We have just as great a time practicing as we do playing. It’s great getting together with them.”

Ohio State officials announced last Thursday that rapper Drake will become the university’s next president, effective June 30. Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, is set to permanently replace former President E. Gordon Gee as the first rap and hip-hop artist to ever be appointed OSU president. “You will see he’s going to make an excellent president. If not, at least he’ll be a really cool president,” said the presidential search committee’s chairman, Jeffy Witswork, of the Grammy-winning rapper with absolutely no prior experience in higher-level education. As one of the top rappers in the game right now, Drake was a strong candidate because he knows how to get people “hyphy.” “Our university has been under a lot a of scrutiny lately with the football scandal and President Gee’s resignation,” Witswork said. “Nobody can better get this party poppin’ again like our boy Drake. “President Drizzy has worked very hard to get to where he is and I couldn’t be happier that he ended up here,” continued Witswork, speaking about where Drake started: from the bottom. Prior to the announcement, Drake gave an exclusive interview with The Dim Bulb, speaking about his excitement to become a Buckeye. “Look, college is important for your future success and my motto is

While the group has worked together for years, the members are getting used to something new, Scamfer said. In December, The Apple-Bottom Gang signed with a new record label, Mingo Town Music. John Joseph, founder of Mingo Town Music , said he signed The Apple-Bottom Gang to his label not only because of its talent as a group, but because he loved hanging around and playing with the band. “My goal was to try to create a community where I liked the people as well their music,” Joseph said. “I’m looking for a certain quality of character, and The Apple-Bottom Gang definitely fit that bill. I don’t think they take themselves as serious as other artists do. I think they’re fun, first and foremost.” With the new label propelling them, The Apple-Bottom Gang is working on a featurelength album , but it’s taking them much longer than expected.

that you only live once. Not everybody is gonna be a dope rapper like me. Like, I’m just trying to give everybody the opportunity to become a young money millionaire,” he said. Drake, hot off of his fourth studio release and international tour, currently has an estimated net worth of $35 million, much more than his expected annual salary of $1 million at OSU. “Money isn’t everything. I’ve made plenty off my music. Like I’ve already said, ‘I got money to blow,’” he said. One of the main jobs of a university president is to continue bringing in financial support to the university. When asked how he plans to do this, Drake envisions the university will basically sell itself. “I see all this money through my Ohio State Buckeyes,” he claims. When asked to further explain this, Drake responded, “I just want to be, I just want to be successful.” Although still unofficial, sources claim one of the first things Drake plans to do as president is hire Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., to be a vice president. At press time, it had been revealed that since Drake was announced the next president, nothing was the same. #NWTS This is part of a series called “The Dim Bulb.” It is a weekly dose of satire, intended to poke fun at the university and affiliates. The contents of these articles are not factual and are not meant to be taken seriously.

Scamfer said the delayed release is a result of an ever-progressing and changing sound. “We started recording the album over a year ago when we felt like we were clicking on all cylinders,” Scamfer said. “Since then, however, our sound has progressed so much that it’s taking us longer to do it.” For now, Scamfer said the group hopes to release the album by the end of 2014, but there is no official release date set. In the meantime, The Apple-Bottom Gang is looking forward to a couple of gigs at the end of the month. The first is at Natalie’s Coal Fired Pizza in Worthington Feb. 28. “At a place like Natalie’s, you want to make sure you get it right,” Scamfer said. “It’s our favorite place to play, so that gig will be really fun.” The group’s next performance is the night after at Cash Only — a Johnny Cash tribute show benefitting local children’s charities that is set to

be hosted by Hummel and his friend Zachariah Whitney, who together make up another group named Me and Lil’ Brother. “It’s going to be an amazing show,” Hummel said. “There’s 10 bands in the lineup and everybody plays nothing but Johnny Cash songs. No song is played twice. They’re all amazing bands. There’s not a bad one in the bunch.” While the group is enthusiastic about the two shows, after that, it’s all about the album. “After we get these next two gigs out of the way, we’re going to be solely working on the album,” Scamfer said. “We’re going to be writing new material and polishing and getting songs out of the way.”

[ spotlight ] Dark Star Orchestra to pay tribute to Grateful Dead Band aims to hone progressive bluegrass THY THY NGUYEN Lantern reporter nguyen.1070@osu.edu Grateful Dead might have stopped playing together, but that doesn’t stop tribute band Dark Star Orchestra from keeping its rock music alive. The Chicago-based Dark Star Orchestra is set to perform at Newport Music Hall Saturday, with doors opening at 8 p.m. The band is currently made up of seven members. Jeff Mattson plays lead guitar and sings, with help from Lisa Mackey on vocals. Dino English and Rob Koritz both play drums and percussion, Skip Vangelas plays bass guitar, Rob Eaton plays rhythm guitar and Rob Barraco plays the keyboard. Many of the members also contribute to vocals. Koritz saw Dark Star Orchestra as a chance to be involved in the music he loves. “I’m a Dead Head. I love the music. I’ve played other music in other bands over the years. When Dark Star came around, it was a chance to go on the road to play the music that I love,” Koritz said. He added that one of the most rewarding parts of Dark Star Orchestra is playing for a live audience. “It’s the greatest feeling. You get to look out in the crowd and see everybody smiling and having a good time knowing because it’s you. That’s as good as it gets,” Koritz said. “We get to play music that we love and make people happy while we’re doing it.” Koritz said he is excited to play at Newport Music Hall, a location the band where the band has history. “The Newport is a great place for us. It’s actually one of our favorite places in the city. We’ve been coming to the Newport for more than 10 years. There’s a great energy in that building. We love it,” Koritz said. He said the band offers a second chance for audiences to enjoy Grateful Dead’s music live. Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995, shortly following the death of member Jerry Garcia.

“With Dark Star, we get to turn on a lot of people to the Dead that never got the chance to see them. We’ve traveled all over the world and made some great friends,” Koritz said. The band also emphasizes improvisation in its shows. Dave Weissman, a publicist for the band, said Dark Star Orchestra improvises on the original compositions of Grateful Dead while mainting the original band’s core melodies. “The improvisation takes songs and plays them the same way, but (Dark Star Orchestra) does add their own flavor to it in the solos and in the ability to stretch out the song,” Weissman said. Derek Krewson, a third-year in psychology, grew up listening to Grateful Dead with his dad. “From what I’ve heard of them (Grateful Dead), I like them. My dad was a fan. He used to listen to them when I was growing up and (went) to their concerts a couple of times,” Krewson said. Allyson Baker, a second-year in health sciences, said Dark Star Orchestra seemed to do a good job of imitating the music of the Grateful Dead. “They seem like they’re talented. They did a pretty good job of creating the music of the Grateful Dead,” Baker said. Dark Star Orchestra owes its success to the fans of Grateful Dead’s music, Weissman said. “The success of Dark Star Orchestra would be attributed to the love that people have for the music of the Grateful Dead. There’s something about the music of the Grateful Dead that is enjoyable,” Weissman said. “It embraces the human spirit, and Dark Star Orchestra continues that spirit.” Newport Music Hall is located at 1722 N. High St. Tickets are $25 in advance and $28 on the day of the show.

ELIZABETH TZAGOURNIS Lantern reporter tzagournis.24@osu.edu Greensky Bluegrass falls outside of the realm of traditional bluegrass. The band writes most of its own music, banjo player Mike Bont said, and its sound has developed into something much more than the typical bluegrass experience. “It’s kind of an eclectic mix, and obviously, we’re playing bluegrass instruments, but that’s where things differentiate from there,” Bont said. “We draw a lot from Americana and folk music and rock ‘n’ roll and blues and funk and jazz, so there’s a lot more than just bluegrass going on, but at the same time, we can still play some danggood bluegrass.” Greensky Bluegrass is set to perform Thursday at Woodlands Tavern in Columbus. The band’s own brand of bluegrass, alongside extensive touring in recent years has made it a popular act. Since its beginning in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 2000, Greensky Bluegrass has come far. “It’s been almost 14 years,” Bont said. “We started out really just playing the traditional bluegrass band and eventually started to incorporate our influences that weren’t so directly bluegrass, and I think that’s kind of evolved our music a lot.” Their most recent album, “Handguns,” released in 2011, debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s bluegrass albums chart. “It’s been received very, very well,” Bont said. “It’s more on the progressive side compared to our previous albums, and there’s a lot more of the songwriting and the studio experience.” First-year psychology and neuroscience major Nicholas Motz said Greensky

Bluegrass has an element of dance in its music. “It sounds like raindrops the way the notes fall. It makes you want to dance to it or tap your foot,” Motz said. Woodlands Tavern Productions Booking Manager Paul Painter said Greensky Bluegrass provides listeners a different experience. “(Greensky Bluegrass) pushes the boundaries of bluegrass, melding the old style into something new and futuristic,” Painter said in an email. “This is jam-grass at its finest, and (Greensky Bluegrass) are a fine bunch of musicians.” John Jackson, a second-year in computer science and engineering, said the band’s interpretation of bluegrass music gives it a distinctive sound. “They have a progressive sound which is really cool. There’s definitely all types of bluegrass like definitely the stuff you’ve heard before which is like old and kind of twangy but there’s like a lot more progressive stuff you hear sometimes in movies now and I think that they’re getting that pretty well,” Jackson said. As Greensky Bluegrass continues to grow and evolve as a band, Bont expressed his vision for the band’s future. “Things I see directly in the future is the release of our studio album sometime this year,” he said. “And just playing more shows and meeting new people and making new fans. That’s kind of what it’s all about.” Woodlands Tavern is located at 1200 W. Third Ave. The show is open to anyone 18 and older with tickets costing $15 in advance, $18 day of show. Doors are set to open at 7 p.m. Tumbleweed Wanderers is slated to perform as an opening act.
