PASSION, GROWTH AND CHANGE

Still home: OSU soccer coach Colin Carmichael is in his 20th season in Stillwater, a community that has molded his life

H ay d e n Barber S po rt s R e p o rt e r @hk_barber

He is the passion. He resembles the fighting spirit of Stillwater. He is the coach of Oklahoma State soccer.

Colin Carmichael is like many men in the Stillwater community.

He is a husband and father who has faced struggles and triumphs in a small town in central Oklahoma.

Carmichael is more than 4,000 miles away from his birthplace, but he now calls Stillwater “home.”

Despite his thick Scottish accent and love of soccer, he is no different from any one of the 48,000 others because Stillwater is in his blood.

The power of community

Its residents stand for what they believe in, and they fight for what they love. The community has grown a blue-collar reputation that accepts the university as its identity.

Stillwater molds its residents.

Men, women and children alike become accustomed to waving their right hands back and forth on a brisk Saturday afternoon after an OSU touchdown They adopt an unconditional love of orange and an unending hatred of crimson.

They don’t understand it when they get here, but it quickly becomes their character.

munity has become his reality.

“I like the fact that you can walk into a restaurant, you see people you know,” Carmichael said. “You wear an OSU soccer shirt, and if you win on the weekend, somebody pats you on the back and says ‘Good job, coach,’ or if our kids walk around campus, people recognize them. To me, those are really cool aspects of living here.”

Carmichael is from Airdrie, Scotland, and moved to Houston when he was 11. But now, he lives on the outskirts of Stillwater where things are much different from the life he knew before.

“Here, I’m kind of a country guy,” Carmichael said. “There’s cows in the field next door and horses, so I couldn’t have envisioned that when I lived in Houston. I was a city boy. … My little girl rides horses. She’s all into equestrian, and, boy, I could have never imagined that, growing up in Scotland.

“So, those have been some differences, but I love it. You adapt to everything, and without question, this is now home.”

Stillwater’s welcoming community is a virus. It consumes even the most urbanized people and teaches them a new way of life.

The same can be said of Carmichael’s Cowgirl players.

“We all have grown,” OSU senior forward Madison Mercado said. “I’ve grown. … He’s still helping me get there, and he’s big for me. He’s my coach. I respect him. I listen to him, and I just hope to grow, and he’s helping me do that.”

Likewise, Carmichael has shown his own children what living in Stillwater means. The family consists of his wife, Stacie; her daughter, Alicia; and the couple’s two kids, Maggie and Ean. “My daughter’s just a sweet

little girl, who is a little bit shy and reserved,” Carmichael said. “My little boy is a boy. He runs around, he plays sports, and he causes trouble.”

So, too, like the spirit of Stillwater. Haunted by the echoes of Highway 51, yet pulsing with the commotions of Eskimo Joes and Saturday night football games, coming off of Interstate 35, Stillwater is a beacon in a half-deserted prairie.

The best man for the job

kept secrets in Stillwater.

His winning nature and fiery passion have led the OSU soccer program to where it is today.

“I hate losing,” Carmichael said.

“If you ask my dad, when I was a little boy, when we would be playing a board game like Monopoly, if I lost, the board is getting tipped up. And I’m yelling and screaming. … I think the fear of losing drives me more than the joy of winning.”

He is the most vocal, competitive coach in Big 12 soccer.

He stands up for his players, and

he coaches them in a way that is inspiring, never belittling.

“Sometimes the passion is over-the-top, there’s no question,” Carmichael said. “It could boil over. … My players are the same way. I love my players. I respect them all.”

Carmichael has spent every year in Stillwater since the program’s inception 20 years ago. He and fellow soccer coach Karen Hancock share the second-longest tenure of any coach at OSU, only behind coaching legend and Cowboy story continues on page 3

wrestling coach John Smith.

Carmichael was shuffled around the OSU soccer coaching staff until he took the helm of the program in 2005. He spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons sharing the position with Hancock. Since then, Carmichael has a 149-56-29 over 10 seasons as coach of the Cowgirls.

The recruiting strategy at OSU has been tactical. When the program was created, Carmichael and the recruiting staff knew they couldn’t compete against the likes of UCLA, Texas A&M or other powerhouses in collegiate women’s soccer. Recruiting in major markets across the U.S. was impossible.

As a result, the Cowgirls’ roster was and is as diverse as you will find in college athletics. Athletes and their families emigrate from countries such as France, Sweden and others to the U.S., specifically Stillwater, to perform for the man who himself made the journey decades ago.

What Carmichael found were two All-Americans and possibly a third in current star Courtney Dike, whose family roots trace back to Nigeria.

Carmichael has proven that he deserves his position. He has helped lead the Cowgirls to nine NCAA Tournaments in 20 seasons, including several deep runs.

After years of success, Carmichael and OSU soccer are finally reaping the benefits. The Cowgirls’ coaching staff has now been at the university for a combined 48 years, a testament to the trust the four-person staff of Carmichael, Hancock, and coaches Justin Elkington and Ben Williams has earned.

Highs and lows

Twenty years is longer than some OSU students have been alive. When Carmichael decided to move to Stillwater and accept FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

an assistant coaching job, he had his whole life in front of him.

Young in his career, Carmichael was trying to sort out if this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, he said.

Going from a city with a population of about 6 million to a college town with less than 1 percent of that population was a drastic change. It also wasn’t meant to last forever but rather be a steppingstone to bigger and better things.

“Originally, I was looking to be here for three years, assistant coach, learn my trade a little bit and see what happens,” Carmichael said.

However, everything changed in 2001.

On Jan. 27, in a snowstorm above Strasburg, Colorado, a Beechcraft Super King Air 200 lost control and crashed, killing all of those aboard. The aircraft carried members of the OSU men’s basketball team, including athletic media relations coordinator and Hancock’s husband, Will Hancock.

Traumatized, the team strug-

gled, but Carmichael was a reason for hope.

“It may have been, to me personally, Colin’s best moment,” Hancock said. “… He just took things on and didn’t move or push anything back on me, just handled things, took care of things in a period in my life where I needed that desperately. I didn’t know how bad I needed it, and he’s a champ.”

Carmichael’s scenario changed.

After gauging the situation and falling in love with Stillwater, he decided to stay at OSU for a bit longer to continue building a winning program. He entered his fifth season on the Cowgirls’ coaching staff under Hancock, whose life took a turn for the worst. Hancock needed help and time to cope with the loss and begin a new chapter in her life as a single mother, so Carmichael took the reigns.

“At that time, I was just a mom with a young kid,” Hancock said.

“I didn’t really see (Carmichael) going anywhere, and he was getting offers to go other places, and he didn’t really want to go either, I don’t think.”

OCOLLY.COM

Since Carmichael took full command of the program in the 2007 season, he has been an integral piece in the program’s success.

The Cowgirls won four consecutive Big 12 championships from 2008-11, made it to back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in the NCAA Tournament from 2010-11 and have had seven All-American selections during Carmichael’s 10 years as coach.

Tactically, Carmichael is bright.

He sees things quickly and clearly.

He has a good head on his shoulders, Hancock said.

The effects of this program’s success on the community are evident.

Today on OSU’s campus, there is a graphic at a bus stop at the corner of South Hester Street and Morrill Avenue. The graphic depicts an OSU football player on one half and on the other, the Cowgirl soccer team huddled around one another.

The graphic is evidence of where this program and women’s sports as a whole have come, Carmichael said. Ten years ago,

such a depiction would have been an afterthought.

“Back in those days, we played out at the Willis Field, the intramural fields, and it was slanted,” Carmichael said. “There was no bleachers.”

Through the work of a man from Scotland and others, OSU soccer has gone from walk-ons on the pitch with lawn chairs around it to hundreds of fans overflowing the stands, watching highly skilled, touted athletes roam the Cowgirl Soccer Complex.

None of the program’s recent success would have been possible without the help of coaches Elkington, who’s been with OSU soccer for seven years, and Hancock, Carmichael credited.

It has been a group effort throughout the program’s history. The plane crash, the championships, the struggles, the victories — no one could have accomplished what this team has in 20 years without the support of the coaches, the players, the families, the university, and, most importantly, the community of Stillwater.

“It is a very family-oriented community,” Carmichael said.

“You have a lot of professional people who are associated with OSU, so it’s a very educated community. All the students keep it young and vibrant. There’s always something going on, and it’s welcoming. A big part of our recruiting is the people. … For years, we sold the university and the people here.”

Stillwater is a unique place with unique people.

Carmichael is one of those unique people. He is not the most well-known or polarizing, but after 20 years, this is still home.

He is rugged. He stands for what he believes in, and he fights for what he loves.

Just like the people of Stillwater.

Gundy and Coker to reunite when Cowboys face UTSA

Chandler Vessels SPO RT S E DI TO R @ChandlerVessels

Coach and quarterback will meet again this Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium.

Current Oklahoma State coach and former Cowboy quarterback Mike Gundy will take on coach Larry Coker and the UTSA Roadrunners (0-2) at 2:30 p.m.

Coker served as offensive coordinator at OSU from 1983-1989, with Gundy playing four of those years.

When the two face each other on Saturday, Gundy will get the pleasure of reuniting with one of his biggest mentors.

“I think he’s very important to our profession — guys like him that have done well everywhere they’ve been,” Gundy said.

“They’re a class-act. He’s always done things the right way. I enjoyed playing for him because we had a mature relationship.

“We could talk. He coached and made it very clear if I was doing something wrong and corrected it.

But we would have communication, talk during games and watch tape as I matured during my career and I could say ‘We can do this, this or this,’ and he’d say ‘Yeah, that’s right,’ and we’d do it.

There’s not a lot of assignment errors with that unit. … They know who they are and they don’t hide it and they line up and are very consistent.”

Oklahoma State Athletics Implements Digital Ticketing

Kristofer Knudson Staff W ri t e r @KrisAKnudson

Students’ smartphones are their tickets into Boone Pickens Stadium this season.

Although students were allowed to use their student IDs for last week’s football home opener, students must present a bar code to get past the gate at BPS on Saturday.

Students with an All-

Sports Pass must display their tickets by logging on to the Ticketmaster website on their smartphones and finding the bar code for the appropriate game. The codes are scanned at the gate.

Only the scanning phase is necessary. A screen shot of the bar code works just as well as the image on the Ticketmaster website, and students may use any device to display their codes as long as the machine can read them.

Students who lose or break their phones can log onto their accounts and display their code on a friend’s phone, said Matt Fletcher, Oklahoma State Athletics fan development coordinator.

“There is no way you can’t

get into the game as long as you have a smartphone in your hands and know your log in information,” Fletcher said. “Ticket forwarding is now an option. Our students have always wanted to get rid of tickets if they can’t make it to a game, and with a student ID, you couldn’t do that.”

If students are busy on game day, they can send a screenshot of their code to anyone, who can use the code to get in. The code will be unique to that game, so students don’t have to worry about others using the All-Sports Pass for the rest of the year.

The ticketing system tracks the codes, that have been used, and if someone

tries to scan a used code, he or she will not get through the gate.

“We want to caution students to only sell to people they know and trust,” Fletcher said. “If I were to sell you a ticket, you could technically walk around and sell that same ticket I just texted you to 80 people.

“If 80 people walk up to the gate with that same ticket, you’re not the one who gets in trouble, I’m the one that gets in trouble, because the ticket’s under my name.”

Students who don’t have a smartphone can still use the old ticketing system.

OSU BCM is building a new home after 62 years

Jordan Bishop Sta f f R ep o rt e r @Jordanbishop35

Oklahoma State’s Baptist Collegiate Ministry is moving to a new home for the first time since 1953.

After being based at University and Monroe street for 62 years, BCM is building at McElroy and Monroe, said Tony Tuck, associate director of OSU BCM. The building is scheduled to be completed in 2017 or 2018, Tuck said.

The group is still financing the construction of the new building and has a two-year agreement with the Watkins Center for “Encounter,” its weekly meeting, he said.

Tuck said when OSU and Pi Kappa Alpha came to BCM in April asking if it was interested in selling, BCM saw an opportunity to move.

“The building, you know

needed some help, so we either needed to do a full gut and remodel or relocate,” Tuck said. “We thought relocating would be the best advantage for us.”

The ministry found a location at 1124 W. McElroy Rd., across from the Davis apartments.

Throughout the years, BCM has had success reaching on-campus students with its ministry services; its former location was ideal. However, with campus re-configuration, almost all of the residence areas have moved north of campus.

“To be able to move closer to where, especially the new dorms are, just down the way in University Commons, it strategically will be much better for us,” Tuck said. “Even connecting with our international students, most of them live just down the road, so we’re looking forward to that.”

BCM decided to make its temporary base at Hillcrest Baptist Church on North Washington Street. Tuck was building manager of the old base for nine years, and he said the moving process was lengthy.

Tuck said the transition to Hillcrest has been good.

EYEWEAR

Reeser’s Eyewear

Hillcrest, one of BCM’s partner churches, has let the ministry stay for no charge.

The base at Hillcrest is able to house BCM’s staff and financial offices, but the ministry needed a place to host “Encounter.”

Tuck’s search for a large space, close to the residence halls and Hillcrest, brought him to the Wes Watkins Center.

In the summer, Tuck called Jason Sullivan, operations coordinator at the Watkins Center, to rent out the auditorium on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.

“We’re happy to help them with space,” Sullivan said. “I know we’re right down the road from their temporary home. They’ve been a great group. We’re glad we had space to accommodate them.”

Tuck said “Encounter” attendance has increased because of Wes Watkins’s proximity to the new dorms and outreach activities BCM had during Welcome Week.

Kenzie Hawroth, a member of the BCM worship team and fifth-year senior, said she was sad to see the old building go when it was demolished on Aug. 18.

“I had a lot of memories in

that building,” Hawroth said.

“Moving everything out and seeing the building come down was very bittersweet.”

However, Hawroth said

she was glad the transition hasn’t hurt BCM’s attendance.

“A church isn’t a building, a church is the people,”

Hawroth said. “I think we’ve done well without having a building. We’re still growing.” news@ocolly.com

OSU alumna designs children’s wear

S ava n n a h E va n o f f Staff W ri t e r @ s ava n n a h e va n o f f

If Joanne Hong wants a new sewing machine, the couch has to go.

Near Times Square Theater District in New York City, Hong lives and sews in a pricey, 600 square-foot apartment that is filling up with fabric, and fast.

“All this fabric is just accumulating, and I keep having to buy garment racks,” Hong said.

“So my living room’s literally just like a sewing area.”

Hong, 31, is an Oklahoma State alumna and women’s wear fashion designer who has worked for big

names in fashion such as DKNY, Marchesa and Elie Tahari. A year ago, Hong quit working for other designers and began working for herself full time, designing children’s wear under the company name Joanne Hong LLC. Hong’s children’s wear line will be displayed at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in the Mayo Hotel during Tulsa Fashion Week.

“I think it starts at 7:30 p.m. just because my models are like 5 years old, so I guess I need to have them done by their bedtime,” Hong said.

In Hong’s research, she discovered there’s more of a niche for children’s wear because there are not as many children’s wear designers. She originally transitioned from women’s wear to children’s wear because she followed the life paths of her friends, Hong said.

“After college, I was

doing a lot of bridesmaid and evening (wear) because all of them were getting married,” Hong said. “Then eventually they started having kids, so I would make them kid’s clothes for baby showers and birthdays, and I just kind of fell in love with it.”

Her clothing line is inspired by women’s wear and reflects street fashion trends in New York City, Hong said.

“If you look at my collection, my aesthetic is very girly, feminine,” Hong said. “My taste goes into my designs. Lace and bows are literally almost on every single design. I guess I just naturally want to put lace on everything.”

When Hong graduated from Stillwater High School, she thought she would be a marine biologist. Hong was a self-proclaimed tomboy who didn’t enjoy dressing up in dresses or skirts, and her closest experience STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 12

to sewing was watching her mom quilt.

“It’s funny because a lot of fashion designers, like you hear that when they were 5 years old, they were sketching or making clothes for their Barbie dolls,” Hong said. “I didn’t know what I wanted to do until freshman year of college.”

When a friend in the OSU apparel design program told Hong her homework assignment was to make a quilt bag, something clicked for Hong.

“Ever since I took my first sewing class with Diane, my professor, it kind of just fell into

place,” Hong said. “It was just really natural for me. It was just kind of weird because I really didn’t know I wanted to do this until I took my first class. I was like, ‘Oh this is so much fun,’ and then I was like good at it.”

Diane Limbaugh, clinical instructor in the Department of Design, Housing and Merchandising, taught Hong in Basic and Intermediate Construction and Sewn Products Analysis.

“In the construction courses, they learn how to use an industrial sewing machine and how to put together garments using these machines,” Limbaugh said. “(Hong)

was a very good student and was always concerned with perfection.

She was a very driven student.”

Since Hong’s graduation from OSU, Limbaugh said Hong has been a guest speaker for several classes. Katherine Williams, apparel design senior, interned for Hong during the summer of 2013 and sees herself following a similar career path.

“We have very similar design aesthetics and I love designing children’s wear,” Williams said.

Since Hong began working for herself, she spends her days sketching designs for children’s wear, sew-

ing custom garments, creating look books for her fashion lines, maintaining her website and networking to build clientele.

In the next couple of years, Hong hopes to sell her children’s wear line in numerous boutiques and potentially department stores.

“Both of my parents are entrepreneurs, so I think just being surrounded by that, it kind of just motivated me to really want to run my own business, at least try it,” Hong said. “If I didn’t try it while I was in New York City, I would regret it.” news@ocolly.com

Las Cafeteras to perform eclectic Latin music at OSU

S ava n n a h E va n o f f Staff Rep o rt e r @ s ava n n a h e va n o f f

Las Cafeteras is not a traditional music group.

On stage, Las Cafeteras dances on blocks, plays eclectic instruments and makes a statement about cultural identity. In 2013, the “LA Weekly” called Las Cafeteras the best Latin alternative band.

Las Cafeteras will bring its unique sound and high energy to Oklahoma State at 8 p.m. on Friday in the Seretean Concert Hall.

Brandon Mitts, special events coordinator for Allied Arts, said the group will have a teaser performance at the Student Union amphitheater during midday passing period.

“They’ll do a couple songs, and they have a really strong message that they’ll share a little about,” Mitts said. “They are all immigrants, and so that’s something very close to their heart.”

Las Cafeteras has more than 30,000 Facebook likes, more than any other group Mitts has booked at

OSU. The group appeals to a wide range of people of different ages and cultures, Mitts said.

“When I saw them in Seattle last year, they really had the audience engaged,” Mitts said. “They were up and dancing. It will be a really vibrant, celebratory concert.”

The group can be described as charismatic, charming and culturally influenced, Mitts said.

Mitts compared the group to Ritchie Valens, the singer of the well-known song “La Bamba.”

“They have a remake of that (song),” Mitts said.

“It’s like an updated version of that type of music.”

Some of the eclectic in-

struments played include the marimbol, jarana segunda and the requinto.

“One girl in particular plays the jawbone,” Mitts said. “A literal jawbone.”

The group will bombard the stage with a blended genre of traditional Latin music as well as contemporary, and Mitts is excited to kick off the Allied Arts season with a positive message.

“They really just want to encourage young people to consider who they are, where they came from and to make sure they’re not letting other people identify them, or put them into certain categories that they might not have to belong to,” Mitts said.

Humans vs Zombies blasts onto campus this weekend

Carlie Hasty Sta ff Rep o rt e r @ o c o l ly

An infection is spreading across campus.

Oklahoma State students will soon witness the eighth Humans vs. Zombies weeklong game.

The game starts Sunday at 6 p.m. with a meeting in Engineering South 317.

“We’ll go through all the rules as well as introduce the plot for this semester’s game, and live game play will begin 30 minutes after the meeting.” said Colin Price, mission coordinator for HvZ. The game will last Sept.

19-26, and there will be daily morning and night missions.

Ideas for this year’s HvZ missions have been difficult to

plan out, Price said.

“We looked to the national community for help with this and have a product we’re really proud of because of it,” Price said.

Zombies will have green headbands, and humans will wear green armbands, said Andrew Kole, a mechanical and aerospace engineering junior, and a member of Pandemoniumm, a team in the game.

“If you see either kind of player running, move out of their way, so they don’t run you over,” Kole said.

Anyone can sign up to play, Kole said.

“We see parents with kids and students from across the state come out to play,” Kole said.

There are more than 400 participants signed up, said Levi Ross, a mechanical engineering junior and participant of the games.

“Our biggest game was over 800 people,” Ross said. “The numbers grow every day.”

Humans vs. Zombies began at Goucher College in 2005 and has since developed an international fan base, according to the Humans vs. Zombie website.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

The game has generated so much interest that it has been played on every continent, except Antarctica, and even has an International Zombie Leaderboard, according to the HvZ source website.

“Students take it very seriously on campus,” Ross said.

“You can’t use a blaster inside buildings, but you can still get tagged by zombies on the way to class.”

Students playing the game are prohibited to shoot their blasters or distract other students inside libraries and educational buildings, according to the website.

Players can choose which missions they want to participate in and can join as zombies after the week begins, Price said.

Rylee Kohn, an entrepreneurship junior said Pandemonium will be competing for the third year in a row.

“We have so much fun playing together with other teams,” Khon said. “It’s like getting to be a kid again.

“I have made so many friends by playing HvZ. I recommend people to come out and play even just one night if you have time.”

Students can sign up for the event at the Humans vs.

Zombies booth outside of the Student Union and go to

humansvszombies.org for official rules and details. news@ocolly.com
