Campus-wide computer crash still stumps IT

■ Internet service

by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

restored within hours but questions remain

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer Late in the afternoon of Sept.9, while UCO celebrated the ribbon-cutting at the new Wantland Stadium, all of the campus's major computers crashed, knocking out services campus-wide and preventing access to the Internet.

The crash took place during a test of the emergency fire suppression system according to a statement released to the university by Dr. Cynthia E. Rolfe, vice president of Information Technology.

Ananya Rabeya, acturial science senior and computer lab technician, said access was restored the next day. "I was trying to check my class schedule from the Broncho Central and I couldn't open the link.

Being a lab technician, I called Information Technology," she said. "They said it was going to be all right and it was all right."

Yasmin Jahir, computer science senior and former lead computer technician, said she was trying to send homework to her professor and could not use her UCO e-mail. "I had to use my yahoo or hotmail accounts," she said.

Most services were restored

A student chapter of the Oklahoma Business Ethics Consortium is in the process of becoming an official club on campus.

Formed in October 2003, OkEthics is a non-profit organization consisting of a broad base of business professionals who want Oklahoma to be known as a state that values ethics in the workplace, said Shannon Warren, founding director of OkEthics and President of Warren Consulting L.L.C. Warren said the idea of a club began with six people discussing ethics at lunch meetings.

As the number of people in the group grew to 24, Warren said they then decided to form an organization. Now the membership is more than 250.

Since then three chapters have been founded in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and the Moore-Norman area, with student chapters at Oklahoma City University and the University of Tulsa.

Joe Walker, graduate student and founding president of the OkEthics student chapter UCOEthics said Dr. Katherene Ten-ell, accounting professor, invited him to an OkEthics meeting last year and he immediately saw the potential to begin a student organization.

"Our goal is to promote integrity for educational issues through ethics," Walker said.

He said ethical issues arise in

Career Services will host a Career Fair from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 22 in the Nigh University Center ballroom.

"This is one of the best opportunities for students to see what is available out there," said Molly Larrison, event coordinator. "We have about 68 diverse businesses signed up to come, and we are expecting about 70 to 75."

Larrison said some of the companies coming are Devon Energy, Disney, the Oklahoma Federal Bureau of Investigation, Grant Thorton, North Western Mutual, Sherwin Williams, The Oklahoman and Dell.

She said this event is not only for students who are graduating soon but also for students looking for internships in the spring.

"Many employers come with internship possibilities," Larrison said. "The way the corporate world is working now, internships can be turned into full time possibilities."

"This is a great networking opportunity," said Lauri Hanna, assistant director of Career Services.

Hanna said this event is held twice a year, but some of the businesses who come in the fall do not come in the spring.

Employers are really excited about coming," Larrison said.

A conference to connect the dots between Christianity and social justice will take place Sept 23-24 in Rm. 120 of the Communications Building at UCO. The conference was the idea of Clay Webber, who approached Dr. David Macey, assistant professor of English, to help facilitate it last spring.

"We knew lots of interesting

people who did the work, the work they do for social justice, that came out of their spiritual commitments," Macey said.

"It's important to take, not just the religion about Jesus, but the religion of Jesus," Macey said.

Together, Webber, Macey and Tre Ronne, asked church leaders and others in the community to speak on topics like poverty in developing nations, the peace movement, progressive politics and capitalism.

"Our assumption is that UCO

students are drawn to controversy likes moths to a flame," Ronne said.

Ronne said the conference is controversial and that's a good thing. He said he hopes it will draw people to the conference so they can express their views and hear the views of others in a safe and considerate forum.

Parking, AARGH! The beast has awoken

nd, just like that, parking is bad again.

So far, we have refrained from griping about parking, or the lack thereof, because the situation always improves. This semester looked to be no different.

When students stopped by our office waving their fists and shouting obscenities about parking, we told them to sit tight. When we all pulled in the

first two weeks to find empty parking spots reserved for people who live across the street we held our tongue. And then, out of nowhere, it got bad again.

UCO needs more parking spaces, perhaps a garage, and spaces in commuter lots should not be granted to housing residents.

The parking system offered to Central Plaza residents creates a class system and proves

that money can buy you a better spot. This option is not offered to commuters.

What about a system where you simply buy your spot?

Those in charge of parking could take each lot on campus and sell it space-by-space.

Not reserved spots, but reserved lots.

For example, if a certain lot can hold 200 cars, sell 200 permits. Under this system, each

student who buys a pass is guaranteed a spot, unless some rule breaker parks in a reserved lot, which would result in a tremendous fine. Or to completely avoid this, simply install a gate with a pass card.

This system would stop the whining and crying, and also expose how the university has too few spaces to accommodate students.

If preferential treatment is

given to Central Plaza residents, it should be given to all.

Many UCO students do not pay a premium to live in campus housing, but they should be offered the chance to buy a good parking spot.

Perhaps by the time this is published, parking will be plentiful again. Perhaps Sept. 19 was just an exception. But still, it is annoying to arrive on campus early and then circle for

Tre Ronne member of UCO Democratic Socialists

twenty minutes looking for any available parking spot.

So far we've kept quiet, but if parking continues to deteriorate we will voice the concerns of students who tell us they can find no available parking and want someone in charge to know about it.

Toni Kennard chapter chair UCO College Republicans

Is it important that President Bush choose a female nominee to replace departing Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the U.S. Supreme Court?

T

he Associated Press reports (18/09) that, of the ten people being considered by the Administration to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice O'Connor, only two are women. If Bush doesn't nominate and Congress doesn't confirm a woman, Ginsburg will be the only female on the Court (and Thomas will be the

only black person); once again, white males will be seven tenths of the Court.

I don't think males and females (or different 'races') have inherently different abilities or styles of judgment, but I do think that people tend to identify more with people whom they consider more biologically similar to themselves.

And these identity biases can creep subtly into judges' decisions, despite efforts to remain neutral - even they are human.

We don't have to look far back in Supreme Court history to find abuses by which an all white male Court defined women and non-white people as second-class citizens. What's more, the Law as written and in

some cases as proposed discriminates against many people: taken literally, the Federal Constitution only guarantees women the right to vote; within the movement to blend Church and State, some are pushing to amend the Constitution to (for the first time ever) deny people rights; I could go on...

Someone against whom the

Law is not biased will be less apt to see legal biases or to correct them.

I think Bush needs to nominate a disabled black lesbian poverty-born immigrant Athiest to offset the non-disabled white male heterosexual Americanborn-of-wealth Christian dominance that will remain regardless. I just only partly; he won't

find that candidate, but he could do better than he has.

Bush should uproot not entrench bias.

Do you think having the team in Oklahoma City will boost the economy? Will you attend any games?

"Yes, and I will probably go to a game or two depending on the price."

"It will be very good. I would make a game or two."

"Yes, it will be good for the economy because more business takes place. If I have tickets, I will obviously go to the game."

CLUB NEWS IN BRIEF North Korea pledges to shelve nukes in exchange for aid BEIJING—North Korea agreed Monday to stop building nuclear weapons and allow international inspections in exchange for energy aid, economic cooperation and security assurances, a breakthrough that marked a first step toward disarmament after two years of six-nation talks. The chief U.S. envoy to the talks praised the development as a "win-win situation" and "good agreement for all of us." But he promptly urged Pyongyang to make good on its promises by ending operations at its main nuclear facility at Yongbyon.

Hurricane relief trailer on campus Hurricane bears down on Florida Keys, Louisiana could be in path - this week

KEY WEST, Fla.—Residents were ordered evacuated from the lower Florida Keys on Monday as strengthening Tropical Storm Rita headed toward the island chain, threatening to grow into a hurricane with a potential 8-foot storm surge.

Although Rita's immediate threat was to Florida, rough projections of its track raised the possibility that the Louisiana coast could be targeted less than a month after Hurricane Katrina devastated the area. Oil prices surged as traders worried about Rita's possible effect on facilities in the Gulf of Mexico.

New Orleans residents allowed back in city despite safety concerns NEW ORLEANS—Residents began streaming back Monday as part of a plan by the mayor to reopen New Orleans one neighborhood at a time, despite repeated warnings from the top federal official on the scene _ and President Bush himself _ that the city is unsafe. Mayor Ray Nagin, under mounting pressure to rescind his decision to let people in, defended the move and complained that the federal official in charge in New Orleans, Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, had made himself "the new crowned federal mayor of New Orleans."

The UCO Student Dietetics Association and Campus Life will collect various items Sept.

19-23 in a trailer on the west side of the Communications Building to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The following items are requested: non-perishable food, baby products and formula, new clothes, and pet food.

The donations will be given to Feed the Children to help in their recovery efforts.

"We won the semester before last and would've won last time, too, but lost the tug-of-war," Williams said. "They had some corn-fed boys on their team."

CHURCH: UCO groups unite to discuss issues of faith from page 1 salvation and proselytizing and not so much on taking care of people's physical needs," Ronne said.

Webber, himself a Christian, said that in some ways this conference is a direct challenge to a mostly Christian student population.

"I think Christianity is inherently a very social, spiritual path. It's all about how you treat other people—that's really the map of how His followers are supposed to be guided," Webber said. "And I think this hijacking of the faith by the religious right has completely twisted

that method into relationships of force between individuals as opposed to relationships of love."

"Also, I don't see a lot of humility in the religious right and I think that is something Christians are called to," Webber said. "There are a lot of Christian groups and organizations that haven't completely abandoned the social gospel."

In the vein of the "Scream" movies and "Final Destination" comes "Cry_Wolf," an at times imaginative but overall generic teen slasher flick. Every prerequisite stereotype and cliché is present and accounted for, from characters and scares (or lack thereof) to the multiple twists at the end, which sadly have now become the norm instead of the novelty.

Cautioning the dangers of the Internet, "Cry_Wolf' is about ten years too late, though Hollywood seems to retread the whole "be careful who you instant message" theme every couple years. Set in a private high school that looks more like an Ivy League university, the movie centers on new kid Owen (Julian Morris) who is befriended by the mysterious and seductive Dodger (Lindy Booth, "Dawn of the Dead").

Dodger invites Owen to a clandestine midnight ritual they ominously refer to as "The Game," which really is just a less-complicated version of the card game Mafia which most of us probably played to pass road trips when we were in grade school. The students decide to take the game up a notch when a local girl is found murdered in the woods (the cell phone trick the killer uses in the opening scene is pure genius). Using e-mail, they fmd a way to convince the town that the killer (named "the Wolf') is somewhere on campus and will strike again. Their prank becomes a nightmare when the 'scenarios detailed in the e-mail actually start happening.

by Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITYWashington Redskins owner Dan Synder finalized plans to take control of Oklahoma Citybased Six Flags Inc., renewing his call for a change in leadership at the company.

In a revised proxy filing on Friday, Snyder asked the themepark chain's shareholders to back his slate of nominees to the board of directors and dump top Six Flags executives Kieran Burke and James Dannhauser, as well as director Stanley Shuman.

Six Flags put itself up for sale last month in what analysts said was an attempt to stifle Snyder's takeover plans. This week, the company said it planned to close its AstroWorld park in Houston and sell the prime real estate to developers.

Snyder said that move would delay his impending offer to shareholders, who should have an opportunity to vote on his proposals before the company starts selling off assets.

Snyder also said Six Flags has put in place a $170 million hurdle for potential buyers of the company.

"We believe it is unlikely that a buyer would emerge who will be able to offer an attractive price for your shares given the company's heavy debt load," Snyder said in a letter to shareholders.

He estimated those costs could reach $170 million, or the equivalent of $1.82 per share.

"In our view, a new management team with a new operational plan should be given the opportunity to fix Six Flags so that stockholders can realize maximum value. ... Now is not the time to sell the company! It is time to tut our nominees on

the board!" the letter stated.

Six Flags spokesman Jeremy Jacobs called Snyder's sale costs an "overestimation" but declined to release Six Flags' own calculations. There are associated costs in any transaction, he said.

"We're fully committed to our sales process, which the board believes is the best way to deliver full and fair value to all stockholders," Jacobs said.

"We've already attracted interest from potential financial and strategic acquirers and believe that Red Zone's proposed action could concern potential buyers and disrupt the sales process."

Snyder's investment firm, Red Zone LLC, owns 11.7 percent of Six Flags shares. He wants to offer $6.50 a share to buy another 22 percent of the company, bringing his stake to almost 35 percent. Anything beyond that would trigger provisions in Six Flags preferred shares and the early repayment of debt, which stands at more than $2.2 billion.

Snyder wants shareholders to remove the company's socalled "poison pill" provisions and install him as chairman of the board. He also wants former ESPN programming executive Mark Shapiro to be chief executive officer and Virginia homebuilder Dwight Schar as director.

Six Flags said if Red Zone was serious, it would bid on the company and not try to take control with just a 35 percent stake.

"We reiterate that they are welcome to participate on the same terms as other interested bidders, should they have a legitimate interest in pursuing an acquisition of the entire company," Jacobs said.

frightening villain. As relentless as Jason and ruthless as Leatherface, the cammo-wearing butcher with an orange ski mask manifests itself from their imaginations into reality to leave a trail of gutted victims, but the question of who or what is behind the mask and how the Wolf is connected to the group of friends is answered in a way few could guess.

The supporting cast includes singer Jon Bon Jovi as cool-butshady journalism teacher Mr. Walker and Gary Cole (perhaps better known as evil boss Bill Lumbergh from "Office Space") as Owen's neglectful father. Cole's mere presence is enough to knock the movie up a couple notches, but he's allowed hardly a cameo.

Well-crafted compared to its contemporaries, "Cry-Wolf' does its best to not fall into the tedium of today's slasher fare.

Director Jeff Wadlow, whose past credits include a slew of movies that lived and died under the box office radar and a cameo appearance in "Pearl Harbor," does what he can with a script that he co-wrote that just doesn't quite cut it even by today's standards. Writers Wadlow and Beau Bauman (whose credits are a near mirror of Wadlow's) include frequent witty dialogue and truly diverse and likeable characters, but there's not much here that hasn't been done before and better by someone else.

Enjoyable but largely forgettable and almost never scary, "Cry_Wolf' is well worth a rent or a Sunday afternoon study break. Just don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

Bucs offense, Colts defense among early NFL surprises

By BARRY WILNER AP Football Writer

The theme is the same for the Indianapolis Colts, if you can believe it.

For the second straight week, Tony Dungy's high-scoring team didn't get many points.

Once again, though, the defense was decisive in a 10-3 home victory over Jacksonville on Sunday.

"It's classic, old-school, defensive football," defensive end Dwight Freeney said. think it's just a matter of playing together, knowing the scheme and getting comfortable with the scheme. It's like being in your house for a long time."

Indy had six sacks against the Jaguars (1-1), three by Montae Reagor, and has given up all of 10 points in two weeks. In most recent seasons, the Colts gave up 10 points in a couple of quarters, not games.

"They've gotten faster," said Jaguars quarterback Byron Leftwich, who hobbled in the final moments after injuring his left leg. "That's their style.

They're just running around, trying to make plays."

The Bucs won a Super Bowl doing that three years ago.

They are doing it again, beating Buffalo 19-3. Tampa Bay held the Bills (1-1) to 145 yards.

"We never got our running game, our passing game or anything else going," said receiver Eric Moulds, who had one catch for 8 yards.

Like the Colts, who got 128 yards rushing from Edgerrin James, the Bucs used a strong running game. Rookie Carnell "Cadillac" Williams ran for 128 yards and a touchdown. Last week, he gained 148 yards.

"He has intense stamina," Bucs coach Jon Gruden said, noting how a sore foot didn't slow Williams. "This guy is a

Daunte Culpepper threw a career-high five interceptions, three to Deltha O'Neal. The Vikings turned over the ball seven times.

Panthers 27, Patriots 17 In their first regular-season meeting since their thrilling Super Bowl after the 2004 season, neither team played that well. But Stephen Davis scored three touchdowns for the host Panthers (1-1), all on 1-yard runs in his second game back from microfracture surgery on his right knee.

Tom Brady finished 23-of44 for 270 yards, one interception and one fumble for the Patriots (1-1). He threw a 1yard TD pass to Deion Branch early in the first quarter, the 100th passing touchdown of his

Seahawks 21, Falcons 18 At Seattle, the Seahawks (11) took a 21-0 halftime lead and held on. Shaun Alexander ran for 144 yards and a touchdown and Matt Hasselbeck threw for 281 yards and two more TDs. When the Falcons (1-1) came back, the defense held firm.

Michael Vick left in the fourth quarter with leg cramps.

Browns 26, Packers 24 Trent Dilfer won for the first time in nine trips to AP Green Bay, giving new coach Romeo Crennel his first win for Cleveland (1-1).

Breakout rookie running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams of the Dilfer threw an 80-yard Tampa Bay Bucs brushes off Buffalo cornerback Nate Clements touchdown pass to Braylon Sunday. Williams leads the NFL in rushing through two games.

OKC officials near deal to Cross country team cruising bring NBA to Ford Center

by Harry Gatewood III

Vista Senior Sports Writer

by Associated Press An announcement is scheduled for as early as Sept. 19 on plans to temporarily relocate the Hornets to Oklahoma City after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, making it unfeasible for the team to play its season, which starts in November, in its hometown.

Mayor Mick Cornett said a city council meeting will be scheduled Wednesday morning to review the proposed contract.

He said he is not sure the public will have a chance to review it beforehand.

"We're calling a council meeting as soon as we can," Cornett told The Associated Press late Sunday. "Everything is going well, but we still have a few details to work out."

NBA representatives toured the Ford Center, which seats 19,675 when configured for basketball games, and met with Oklahoma City officials on Sept. 9.

"If the games can't be played in Louisiana for whatever reason, I'm anxious for Oklahoma City to have a chance to prove that it's a major league market," Cornett said.

Cornett previously said the agreement will include some expenses the city and state will be asked share as part of the move. It is still not known how many games, if any, might be played in Louisiana. The TimesPicayune reported Sunday the team would establish most of their base operations in Oklahoma City, but would also keep a smaller office in either New Orleans or Baton Rouge.

Cornett said the number of games to be played in Louisiana will be decided by the NBA and Louisiana authorities.

If the team moves to Oklahoma City, it is expected to relocate 100 employees from Louisiana and also hire 50 people locally to do a "rapid rampup" of telemarketing and ticket

sales promotions.

Combined with the players, the team would bring an approximate $50 million payroll to the state - an incentive, Cornett told The Oklahoman, for the state to share in providing support for the teams expenses.

Rep. Joe Dorman, D-Rush Springs, has said he plans to file legislation that would provide state money to the city to help pay for the teams relocation costs.

"This is not just a good thing for Oklahoma City to host this team while their facilities are rebuilt," Dorman said in a statement. "It also is a promotion for the entire state with teams and fans that would travel here for games and, in turn, a strong boost to our economy."

Oklahoma City is not the only city that has offered the team a new home in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Others include Nashville, San Diego, Kansas City, Louisville and Las Vegas.

New stadium symbolic of growing UCO pride

by Matt Cauthron

Vista Sports Editor

As the stands of Wantland Stadium emptied after UCO's loss to West Texas A&M, the opposing coach strolled casually toward the visitor's locker room with his arm around his wife, marveling, he said, at the magnificent stadium rising above what was once a dismal grasspatch. • "I used to play here back in the sixties," Buffaloes' Head Coach Don Carthel said. "Back when that field was nothing but a pit - barely more grass than dirt.

And look at it now.

"Everybody from West Texas that's been here is just amazed.

This is something that is special for you all. A lot of student bodies wouldn't be generous enough to put something like this together for the football team. It's awesome. Unbelievable."

I couldn't agree more. Not only that the stadium is unbelievable, which it is, but that the generosity UCO students displayed in getting it built is mindblowing.

I didn't attend UCO when the student body voted to allow a fee hike that would go

toward renovating Wantland Stadium.

And, although I hadn't really thought about it until Carthel said it, I'm absolutely amazed they did.

Usually, and without too much difficulty, you can get a large group to agree something's a good idea. Getting them to agree to pay for it is another story.

Just look at the recent vote on the proposed fuel tax. I'm sure we can all agree that an effort to make Oklahoma's roads and bridges safer is a good idea. It is not, however, good enough to justify raising the already ridiculous price of gas. At least not according to 87% of voting Oklahomans.

But I digress. This is not meant to be a commentary on local politics. I'm just pointing out that even with a decent idea, convincing people to reach any deeper into their pockets to pay for it is a daunting proposition.

That's why it's so amazing that the students of UCO were willing to renovate Wantland Stadium. I mean, it's not as if fees are low around here. We pay for everything we do on this campus, from parking to

using computers to taking classes. And, much like gas prices, the fees seem to get larger all the time. So why did a majority of UCO students agree to raise those fees?

If you ask me, they did it out of pride. In the last ten years or so, this campus has really become something to be proud of. With Broncho Lake, the new student housing, and now Wantland Stadium, UCO has finally developed a look to match its lofty academic standards. I think students recognize that and want it to continue.

I'm reminded of something UCO Athletic Director Bill Farley said to me last summer.

"Great things are happening here," Farley said. "This is a special time for UCO. People are beginning to realize that this university no longer takes a backseat to others in this state."

It seems to me the students of UCO have known that for years.

And thanks to their foresight and generosity, one look at Wantland Stadium will help others to realize it as well.

Off to a strong start this cross country season, the Bronchos finished 19th out of 35 teams in the Missouri Southern Stampede Sept. 17 in Joplin, Mo. UCO blazed through the tournament with 514 points in the five-kilometer race that attracted numerous NCAA Division I teams. The University of Missouri took home the championship trophy.

The fresh / legs of UCO freshman sensation Cynthia Kimes finished 69th in the field of 300 runners with a time of 19:17.40.

Kara Miskelly ran a 19:42.60, with Brittany Callender (19:55.90), Carlie Siner-Wellington (20:08.20), Melissa McCarty (20:21.90), Claribel Mendoza (20:48.20) and Kristin

Shurtz (22:06.70) rounding out the team.

The Bronchos return to action next Saturday at the Oklahoma Baptist Invitational in Shawnee.

At the Hurricane Cross Country Festival Sept. 3 in Tulsa, UCO hurried to a fourth-place finish in their first outing of the year.

In their second meet of the year the Bronchos pulled off a -first-place finish in the East Central Invitational in Ada. Kimes was selected as the Lone Star Conferece Cross Country runner of the week for her performance in the ECU Invitational. She finished second with a time of 19:43.5.

The win was UCO's first team championship since the school reinstated cross country in 2003.

Volleyball team drops two out of three Late 99-yard drive

by Harry Gatewood III

Lista Senior Sports Writer

Texas A&M Kingsville and Abilene Christain defeated the UCO volleyball team the first day of the Lone Star Conference Crossover tournament, but UCO defeated West Texas A&M on day two for a 1-3 finish.

UCO dropped to Texas A&M Kingsville in an 0-3 decision with scores of 32-30, 30-28, 30-25.

UCO Head Coach Jeff Boyland said they could be a scary team and that they were.

TAMUK sophomore Shaday Smith had 22 kills and eight digs against UCO. The Bronchos hit just .037 in the loss and committed 31 errors in 161 attacks.

Allison Harvey led UCO with 14 kills, hitting .293, while Kim Morgal had eight kills and Lacie Allen seven. Jenny Anderson led the defense with 20 digs.

Later that day, UCO fell again, this time to defending LSC Champion Abilene Christian University. Going into the tournament, Boyland said the Wildcats would be UCO's toughest test, as they were ranked no. 16 in the NCAA AVCA poll.

UCO hit 143 against the

Wildcats and committed nine service errors.

Allen and Katie Schult had nine kills apiece to pace the Bronchos, with Penny Wascovich adding eight and Morgal and Rachel MacElvaine seven each. Stephanie Ball had 37 assists and 13 digs and Anderson added 17 digs.

For their fmal game of the two-day LSC crossover tournament, UCO defeated West Texas A&M University, ending the Buffaloes' four game winning streak.

UCO defeated the Buffs in a grueling five-game match with scores of 30-25, 26-30, 30-25, 19-30 and 16-14.

Katie Schuh posted a teamhigh 24 kills, Penny Wascovich and Lacie Allen had 13 kills apiece. Stephanie Ball had a season-high 62 assists, with Jenny Anderson getting 29 digs, Allen 25 and Kim Iten 17.

UCO opens LSC North Division play Thursday Sept. 22 at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. UCO has a 15-3 win record against MSU. The Bronchos arc now 10-6 on the season.

derails Bronchos

lost 20-16 Saturday in a heartbreaker to Angelo State in San Angelo, Texas.

The Bronchos led throughout the game, but let that lead slip away in the closing minutes.

Leading 16-13 with less than five minutes to play in the game, the Bronchos faced third-and-goal from the Rams' one-yard line. After two straight handoffs to tailback Seymore Shaw, the Bronchos had failed to gain that yard, and turned the ball over on downs with 2:37 to play.

The Rams wasted no time after the goal line stand, driving the ball 99 yards in just four plays to take their first lead of the game at 2016 with just 1:23 left in the fourth quarter.

The Bronchos had one last chance to reclaim the lead, but quickly turned the ball over on the ensuing drive,

sealing the victory for the unbeaten Rams.

The Bronchos dominated the opening half, outscoring the Rams 16-3 and playing suffocating defense.

UCO tailback Seymore Shaw provided a solid rushing attack for the Bronchos.

Shaw carried the ball 26 times for 154 yards and a touchdown. Mike Kirk, UCO sports information director, said Shaw appeared to cross the goal line on both carries inside the one, during the drive that would ultimately decide the game. Still, each time he was denied a touchdown call.

The Bronchos will look to bounce back from two straight losses next Saturday when they travel to Commerce, Texas to take on Texas A&M Commerce. Commerce is tied with UCO at no. 8 in the Lone Star Conference standings, both teams sporting a 1-2 conference record.
