Occupy Thanksgiving:
One ASG program has had a successful start, but lacks awareness, the program director said. Razor Rewards, a program started this year by ASG, was created to encourage students to go to more events on campus. Every time students attend events including athletics and particular RSO programs, their student identification cards are scanned, and they accumulate points. Popular sporting events
such as football and baseball games are worth fewer points than sports such as soccer and volleyball, said Afshar Sanati, ASG Razor Rewards director. There has been better attendance to smaller sporting events, said Sanati. In comparison to last year, attendance to soccer games has increased by 46 percent this year, said Brian Pracht, associate athletic director of marketing.

Local Movement Plans to Expand Message by JACK SUNTRUP Staff Writer
With the weather changing and the holiday shopping season here, Occupy Northwest Arkansas members are adapting not just with hand warmers and blankets, but also with a new type of outreach. “We created a website which is not finished yet, but we created it and it’s all local businesses,” group representative Andi-K Heart said. “I don’t think anyone else has that.” With billions of dollars being pumped into the economy every December, it’s important for people to know the consequences of their spending habits, Heart said. This season’s Black Friday shoppers broke records according to a recent Bloomberg report. Sales were up 6.6 percent compared to last
year with consumers spending nearly $11.5 billion. “Really, part of what we’re about is shopping local,” she said. “We’re really trying to help people understand where they spend their dollars and what they’re investing in has consequences.” That message has special weight because of Walmart’s role in the NWA region, Heart said. “We also have a sister branch, Occupy Bentonville,” she said. “We’re not trying to take down a business, just trying to be more morally equitable. Spreading awareness to what Walmart is doing, it helps other people pay attention, that’s when you can make a difference.” Besides focusing on shopping local this holiday season, people should not lose sight of the larger picture, graduate student Amber Culbertson-Faegre said.
“Walmart is actually relatively small compared to oil companies and other larger kinds of corporations,” she said. “It’s not just about the fact that there’s big box stores taking away from the local economy. It’s about the larger picture.” Without generalizing the Occupy movement’s diverse goals, as they have tried to resist so far, the “bigger picture” includes ending corporate personhood and easing income inequality, said Culbertson-Faegre. Though locally, leaders like Heart have said their group has helped educate people about perceived injustices, the national mood has not substantially changed since October. Half of Americans do not follow the movement closely and as a result half do not have an opinion of the movement, according to a Gallup
poll. Even so, in contrast to evictions and pepper-spraying at other camps, the city of Fayetteville and surrounding businesses have been mostly supportive of the camp, Heart said. “We’ve brought so many people together in this community from every kind of background that you can imagine,” she said. “People are educating us, we’re educating them. Anytime there’s education involved, it’s a positive outcome if you ask me.” The group plans to spread their message on the town square. “We actually have been volunteering here and there doing lots of little things to help out,” Heart said. “Lots of people are working to schedule things. Of course we’re going to be involved in several things.”
Device to Melt Ice:
UA Engineers Attempt to Limit Number of Flight Delays by LANDON REEVES Staff Writer
UA Department of Civil Engineering officials have worked on a project to find a way to de-ice airport runways without the use of chemicals. The project combines a special mix of concrete that can generate heat from electricity and batteries that store energy produced from solar panels, officials said. The project was conducted by UA faculty and students, and was funded by the Federal Aviation Administration. “We came up with a concrete mix design that conducts electricity,” said Adam Osweiler a UA graduate student in civil engineering. “Concrete, normally, is an insulator for electricity which means it doesn't conduct electricity very well. We
added steel fibers and graphite into the concrete and that made it conductive.” The system uses photovoltaic panels to collect solar energy, it then stores the energy in batteries so it can be used any time to heat the concrete, Osweiler said. With this technology delays could be reduced by closing runways for snow removal, said Mark Kuss, scientific research technologist. “I wrote the programs and the acquisition system to collect all the data,” Kuss said. “We have done well so far but we are still in the early stages of researching this technology. This is our first prototype of a solar powered resistance concrete system.” The conductive concrete took nine months to design and create. “The concrete took the

most time because you can add anything to it and change its chemical or mechanical properties, so it's like a cooking recipe and no two recipes are the same,” Osweiler said. Heat is one important element in the process. “When current passes through a conductor heat is produced, it is called joule heat,” said Ernie Heymsfield, associate professor for the Department of Civil Engineering. “Joule is the name of a scientist who did a bunch of different studies on heat and energy. So you have energy measured in Joules but you also have different laws he discovered and this is Joule heat.” Scientists working on a project in Nebraska used similar concrete on a bridge, but the electricity was provided by direct current off

of a power grid, Heymsfield said. The difference between the two projects is the installation and material cost will be much higher for UA's project because of the solar panels, Osweiler said. “Research is research but I had a great time, I got to work outside, instead of being in cubicle and writing,” Osweiler said. “The hardest part was adding graphite. The more graphite you had the water you needed to add, the more water you add the more the concrete compression strength goes down, we went through about 10 of 15 trial mixes.” The research will be extended beyond this year so data can be gathered from testing the equipment in the winter and should finish about May 2012, Heymsfield said.

Thefts Increase During End of Semester by AMANDA POGUE Staff Writer
Students should pay extra attention to personal belongings during finals, UAPD officials said. “There is somewhat of an increase in theft during these last few weeks,” UAPD Lt. Gary Crain said. Most of the reports UAPD officers are receiving are thefts of laptops, iPads and iPhones, Crain said. This is especially prevalent in libraries, computer labs and other popular public spaces, he said. “Students are studying more and not sleeping as much, so they may not be paying as much attention as they should,” he said. Last semester there were only three thefts reported, UAPD Lt. Matt Mills said. “We have been, for the last several years, at the library’s

request, working overnight security when the library’s open 24 hours,” he said. This UAPD presence explains why, in recent years, there have been fewer thefts than in years before, Mills said. “I’ve never had anything stolen but it’s nice to know that we will have more security during finals week,” Grant Roe, UA senior economics major, said. These types of crimes occur when someone walks away or turns their back on their belongings. Someone can just come along and pick it up, Mills said. “This type of theft is a crime of opportunity,” he said. These crimes are really very easy to prevent, Crain said. “Don’t be a victim. Pay attention to your stuff,” he said.

Positions Open for Greek Life Members by MANDY MCCLENDON Staff Writer
Greek Life Facilitators will conduct interviews this spring for members from the Greek councils. The role of Greek Life Facilitators is to work together to build an environment that contributes to the development of the individual and community in areas including leadership, service, academic success and cultural awareness within the Greek community at the UA, according to the Greek Life website. GLF is primarily recognized for planning and putting on Greek Diversity Week, Greek Getaway and Greek Week. Greek Diversity Week took place in the fall and encourages the interaction and understanding among all three councils. Greek Getaway is an overnight retreat for new members, that exposes them to leadership skills and opportunities to mold them into leaders in the Greek community. Greek Week is held every spring and is an opportunity for chapters to participate in healthy competition with one another. Kelly Lamb, president of GLF is excited to start new programming within the Greek community next semester. “We hope to create an active philanthropy and start a new series of tri-council Greek dinners that will hope-
fully take place monthly and will become a lasting tradition within the Arkansas Greek community,” she said. GLF members apply during the spring semester and are required to go through an interview process to be selected. Members are chosen on the quality of the applicant and interview, rather than on a delegate basis. Four executive positions are also available: president, vice-president of membership, secretary and treasurer. Madison Taylor, a junior psychology major and member of GLF, said the organization benefits Greek life as a whole. “We really try to encourage acceptance and unity not only within one Greek council, but all three, because we believe that you can accomplish so much more and have a much larger impact on the community when you work together. We see Greek life as one big community, rather than individual houses.” GLF contributes to Greek life through encouraging leadership, service and diversity within the Greek community, as well as the Northwest Arkansas community. “The organization is designed to increase leadership and education within the Greek community at the UA as well as help Greek Facilitators improve upon their leadership and facilitation skills,” Lamb said.

Project Could Give Arkansans Better Understanding of Earthquakes by CHVEN MITCHELL Contributing Writer
In the aftermath of the recent spate of earthquakes propagating out of Oklahoma, the pending EarthScope project, proposed by a UA professor, may provide the much needed understanding of earthquakes for Arkansans, an engineering official said. Gregory Dumond, a UA assistant professor, thinks that the results of the EarthScope project, ‘Resolving the 4D record of incipient continental collision in the Ouachita Orogen,’ will positively counter the misconceptions that people harbor for earthquakes, he said. “This will provide an opportunity for people to understand earthquakes in general, why we can use them to understand the earth and hopefully ease misapprehension that people have about earthquakes as a result of seismicity radiating out of the New Madric siesmic zone and Faulkner county,” he said. Dumond came to Arkansas after completing a post doctoral appointment as a National Science Foundation Earth Sciences fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he said. With research interest in structural geology, tectonics and metamorphism, Dumond thinks that this project will provide a greater understanding of how the North American continent was assembled, he said. The focus of Dumond’s proposal is an area where the stable North American land mass, collided with an unstable exotic arc terrain, during the last super continental cycle Characterizing, the exotic mass that collided with North America as an “enigmatic terrain that holds several secrets of the continents evolution and structure, with the Ouchita mountains a surviving record of that collision.”
Dumond’s proposal therefore, aligns with EarthScope’s mission to develop a better understanding of lithospheric evolution through successive cycles of supercontinent assembly and breakup, he said. Dumond has a preference for research that focuses on the deeper parts of the crust where strain, deformation, metamorphism and magnetism all interact, he said. Dumond thinks that the southern part of Arkansas, in the vicinity of Murfreesboro, Diamond Mine, is a fascinating area to investigate because the Lithospheric Asthenosphere Boundary, a fundamental boundary to NSF’s EarthScope projects, is discoverable in this area, he said. The LAB, is significant to the North American continental plate because it is the base of the plate that is drifting along the earth’s surface, he said. He also said that the LAB defines the tectonic plates that collide with each other and the boundary is controlled by the stable North American craton itself and its periphery margin. Dumond will have the opportunity to analyze this collision on a larger scale, from the earth’s surface to the core, because of the project, he said. If this project is approved it will actively use EarthScope, a program that employs the use of seismic, geodetic and geophysical instruments to study the evolution and structure of the North American continent, along with earthquakes and volcano’s, according to Earthscope.org. NSF further describes EarthScope as a collaboration between scientist, policy makers, educators and the public to use scientific discoveries as they are being revealed. Dumond, thinks this collaborative effort will unearth seismic information in relation to the transform fault that represents the boundary across which the
exotic terrain collided. As he moves forward, one of Gregory Dumond’s desires “is that this EarthScope project will generate interest in earth sciences at all levels, from middle school all through to tertiary education and bring positive additions to earth sciences.”

FROM THE BOARD
Black Friday: Where’s the Holiday Spirit? The Fourth Estate
The Final Countdown The last couple weeks of the semester, that awkward period after Thanksgiving Break and before Dead Day, brings out the best and worst in students. For those of us who have been procrastinating we’re stressed, snappy and increasingly sleep deprived. We curse ourselves for not working on our term papers months ago. We’ll spend hours trying to find a thesis that we hope makes sense when it isn’t 2 a.m. and we’re huddled in Mullins Library or the room behind R.Z.’s. We very well might end up forsaking our friends and spending $15 a day for coffee. It’s something that happens for some of us every year despite how we promise ourselves that it won’t. If you’re more prepared though, the last two weeks before Dead Day is a downward slide. A time to study for tests, buy holiday gifts and just make sure you don’t do anything to blow a semester’s worth of work. We hope that you’re in the second group, but many students probably aren’t. Despite the stress that can lead up to finals week— not to mention the beast that is finals week— it’s important to remember moderation. Drinking so much caffeine that you might as well just have an IV going into your arm, is not only unhealthy but will leave you leaving exhausted and burned out. Staying up several nights in a row—or not sleeping at all— is also not emotionally, physically or mentally healthy. Only 30 percent of college students sleep at least eight hours per night, according to an article in The Journal of Adolescent Health. We would bet the percent is even lower during more stressful times like the last weeks of the semester. Not to mention that a lack of sleep can affect your judgement abilities, which are pivotal while trying to finish a last-minute paper or study for a final exam. We hate to sound like Debbie Downers—or worse yet, our mothers— but it’s important to know your limit and plan ahead. There’s still some time to prepare for upcoming exams. Just breath. It’s going to be okay.

Every Thanksgiving most of us gather with our families and eat more turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce than we should. Thanksgiving is the fall holiday that brings us all together. It is supposed to remind us of what we’re thankful for and give us time to reconnect with our family and friends before the usually hectic end to the semester. Ironically, Thanksgiving is followed directly by the infamous Black Friday. One of the biggest holiday shopping days of the year tends to bring out the worst in us. What used to start around 4 a.m., started this year as early as 8 p.m.
at WalMart on Thanksgiving. (Sorry family, I’ve got to leave early so I can go stand in line with a bunch of other cranky people for an overrated toy that will be on sale onand-off until Christmas.) It’s a weird juxtaposition that as some people are “occupying” to try to bring change to the country’s political and economic system, others are lining up days in advance with some shoppers dying, getting in fights or being pepper sprayed while trying to get a gift for a friend or family member. Don’t get me wrong, it’s isn’t like Black Friday—and the people who take part in it— are the worst thing in the world. My mom, grandmother and I have participated in it before. It can be fun, though maddening, to compete in an generally meaningless competition. For some it’s a one-day distraction from the grim economic reality that refuses to loosen its grip on our country. Furthermore we can’t really blame big box store mangers for wanting people to spend money at their store. It’s basic economics on how
to stay in businesses and remain competitive. But if no one showed up to shop on Black Friday—maybe realizing that stories will have sales through the end of the year— or somehow people could contain the urge to be rude and ridiculous, Black Friday might not have such a bad reputation with some people including myself. Realistically though, that won’t happen. Like many things in this county Black Friday is a self-serving cycle. (Even in this bad economy, Black Friday spending increased by 6 percent, according to a Chicago research firm.) It’s ironic that during a time when so many are preaching fiscal conservativeness, millions of American still wait in hour-long lines and fight crowds to spend more than they probably should. (Black Friday is kind of like what would happen if you had a ton of coupons to almost every store. Your mom might not really need that $10 vegetable slicer, but it’s on sale, so why not go ahead and buy it.) To be slightly positive, Black Friday does provide an
opportunity for families that are on a budget to buy gifts at a lower price, or even buy gifts at all. It’s also a less expensive way to buy gifts to donate for charities. Also this year, there was “Small Business Saturday” which encouraged shopping at local business that are often left behind during the Black Friday craze. (For those that want to avoid the crowds, there’s always cyber Monday.) There’s no doubt that Black Friday, as the unofficial beginning to the holiday shopping season, has positive benefits. It helps families buy gifts that they might not be able to afford otherwise and it provides a needed spending boost for business. But Black Friday shopping or not, people should remember that the importance is giving to others, not when you bought the gift. Jordain Carney is the 20112012 Traveler opinion editor.

Comments From The Arkansas Traveler Website RE: ‘Monday Column Response’ Kate: “Respect as you step”? Did N.T. help co-write Save The Last Dance or Bring it On? And Tom J.- good job, now all your professors and your peers know that you have to google words that are more than two syllables. I guess that is why you had to dumb down Timothy to Tom… just too much for you, eh? Emily, as a journalist myself, I find it admirable that you have the ability to stir up so much feedback (both positive and negative). Column writing 101: stir the pot or find another niche. By the way… I showed this to my editor and he said (and I quote) “We need to hire this girl! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a columnist write an article that kept me reading until the last sentence, and then left me wanting more! Do you know how we can get in touch with her?” So, although some of your delightfully intelligent peers may not see the value in your work, it appears that an editor with over 30 years of experience finds it remarkably fresh and daring. Good job! Morgan : Nobody is making you throw your Longhorns stuff in the garbage (even if that’s where it belongs). We are just telling you that if you wear rival sports logos and university apparel, expect a response. It sounds as if you like getting all the negative attention, so carry on wearing controversial clothing and UA students will continue letting you know it’s unwelcome. If you think Hog fans are too passionate and crazy about their team, we say “Thank you!”.
RE: Union Parking Garage Meters Malfunction Bill: This was reported to the UA Parking authorities nearly two months ago. It was not fixed so it was turned in multiple other times to the ticket patrol guys in the garage. They assured me it was turned in. IT was not fixed until your paper inquired. Thanks. The UA official comment is that “if you paid for two hours you got two hours”, however if you were paying to a specific time such as 5:00 P.M. then you always had to pay for the extra eight minutes. Just think of the 1000s of cars who have paid extra over the two months time this was never fixed. The same problem occurred in the Spring Semester and went weeks before they fixed it after it being reported. Why can’t these meters be on atomic clocks so this does not ever happen? I guess that would hurt the UA revenue from causing people to overpay for month.
RE: Culture and Corn Dogs: One Student’s International Experience Khadija Olamy: That’s a great interview! You represents your country in a great way:) Wish u all the best, and by the way I am English literature major too and supposed to be a senior in my home university now.

UA Grad Turns Passion for Longboards into Business by EDDIE GREGG Staff Writer
Nick Jones, a 24-year-old skateboarding entrepreneur, might be living the American Dream. He has not been to work today. Instead, Jones is sitting at home on a couch drinking a Fat Tire. When Jones moved to Fayetteville from Fresno, Calif., he brought his love for longboards— long, surfboard-shaped skateboards—with him. And instead of waiting for some corporate desk job after graduating from the UA with a finance degree, Jones turned his passion into a business, Lavish Longboards. While he is his own boss and has the freedom to relax when he wants to, he is anything but a slacker. “I only got two hours of sleep last night because I was up making boards,” he says. “I guess I’ve taken my love and passion for the longboarding business, mixed it with my business education and experience and just maximized it.” Since he started selling his boards at the beginning of the year, they have been in high demand across Northwest Arkansas and in surrounding states. Jones says he has already sold several hundred of his custom boards, which go for as much as $170 each. Lavish Longboards is doing well financially, he says, but being an entrepreneur is about more than making money. For him, being an entrepreneur is also about freedom, inspiring others to pursue

their dreams and giving back to the community by creating jobs, Jones says. “It just makes more sense to me to create something than take,” he says. “It’s my part as an American—I know it’s super Americana and patriotic to say. But how am I helping the economy by taking a job? How much more could I help it by creating a job?” Within a year Jones plans on hiring a full-time employee, but
he has already hired a carpenter part time to help him keep up with demand. Jones's garage, where he makes his boards, smells like chemicals. He apologizes for the messy workspace—even though the floor is clean and everything seems organized. A stack of freshly cut, unfinished boards sits on a table saw. An almost-finished board with a custom barber pole decal for
Jones's barber sits drying on the concrete floor by the open garage door. His boards' popularity comes from their unique look, custom options and durability, Jones explains. Every board is made with strips of light and dark wood, making them look kind of like striped, wooden cutting boards. “All the wood is from the Ozarks. These are all natively
grown, and one board can have wood from 10 to 15 different trees,” he says, indicating an unfinished board. “That’s how it gets all the different colors.” As a student at the UA, Jones took classes with Mark Zweig, the Entrepreneur in Residence at the Walton College of Business. Zweig help give him the confidence to start Lavish Longboards and has become a huge personal mentor, Jones says.
Zweig describes Jones as a disciplined, “nice fellow” who has been bitten by the entrepreneurship bug. “The best thing about it [being an entrepreneur] is just the freedom you have. It’s not like you don’t work as hard somebody who’s a corporate slave—because you do. You probably work more, but you still have control over your time,” he said. “You can dress the way you want,” Zweig explained. “You can do what you want to do. And I think that freedom is very empowering to people.” “I really like the fact that I can take something that I really enjoy and put it into other people’s lives,” Jones says, dressed in jeans, skate shoes and a Lavish Longboards tshirt. “That’s kind of what drives me and keeps me honest.” With Zweig's help, Jones and a few other students started the Northwest Arkansas Entrepreneurship Alliance, which connects young entrepreneurs with experienced business mentors in the region. Through Lavish Longboards and his involvement with the NWAEA Jones wants to share his love for entrepreneurship and inspire others to turn their dreams into successful businesses, he says. “Honestly, if you get an idea for a venture, don’t be afraid to take it, man, because it will make you feel awesome once it succeeds,” Jones says. “If you share your passions… the money is going to come.”

Leftover Turkey Gains a New Flavor by LAUREN LEATHERBY Features Editor
For better or for worse, Thanksgiving break is over. Students are heading back to the UA campus with Tupperware containers full of leftover cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and, most of all, turkey. Students need not worry, though. Leftover turkey should be a treat, not a hassle to eat before it goes bad. First and foremost, students can induldge in a classic turkey sandwich. Layer it with stuffing, gravy or cranberry sauce for a traditional Thanksgiving taste, or leave off other leftovers and instead melt cheese over the top to make a turkey melt. Add bacon and ranch for a turkeybacon-ranch classic, or slather the turkey with honey mustard for a sweeter flavor. Soup is another quick go-to meal to make use of leftover turkey. Turkey can be substituted for other types of meat in almost any soup recipe for a slightly different flavor. Add noodles and vegetables to a clear broth for turkey noodle soup, or add the turkey to a cream-based soup and add sauteed onions and other vegetables for a richer taste. Another tasty option is to add turkey to a traditional taco soup recipe, which traditionally entails corn, black beans, pinto beans, other vegetables and cheese on top.
For turkey tetrazzini, add turkey to egg noodles or spaghetti noodles and spice it up with salt, pepper, onions and parmesan cheese. For a rich taste, add olive oil or butter. Don’t forget mushrooms for an additional texture. Students with a slow cooker like a Crock Pot can combine turkey, rice, vegetables and cream of mushroom soup, let it cook on low for a few hours, then come back to a savory concoction by the end of the day. For a taste of Tex Mex, students can substitute turkey in a traditional recipe for enchiladas. Using turkey instead of chicken in a chicken pot pie recipe is another tasty option. Last but not least, any variation of turkey casserole is a tasty way to make use of Thanksgiving leftovers. Recipes can include cheese, vegetables, noodles, breading or any number of ingredients that would bring a savory flavor to the post-Thanksgiving palate. Casseroles typically bake for between 20 and 50 minutes at around 300 or 350 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the recipe students choose. With options like this, bringing home Thanksgiving leftovers should never be a drag again. Sandwiches, casseroles, soups and more can keep students and their roommates full through finals.

2. Indulge in cold-weather coffee classics – Fayetteville offers some great coffee shops

3. Take her to the top of the city – For a quick date idea when end-of-the-semester tests are every-
day occurrences and your social life is hibernating, turn up the heat in your car and pick her up for a date she won’t forget.

by JIMMY CARTER Sports Editor
BATON ROUGE, La. -- For the first 20 minutes it looked like No. 3 Arkansas might shake up the BCS and put itself in position to play in the national championship. The Razorbacks led 14-0. Then top-ranked LSU scored 41 of the final 44 points and pulled away in the second half for a 41-17 win in Tiger Stadium. “We got beat by a better football team,” Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. “They played better offensively, defensively. I thought we started out well, took the lead. (We) made some crucial errors.” The Hogs (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) gave up a punt return for a touchdown, lost a key fumble, threw an interception and couldn’t stop the Tigers’ run game. “We had our chances in the
game we just, when you’re playing a really good team like this, you can’t give up a huge punt return and turn the ball over,” Petrino said. “I think the turnovers were really the thing that killed us.” Arkansas was dealt a disappointing end to a rough week, losing on the field just five days after losing redshirt freshman tight end Garrett Uekman, who died of an undiagnosed enlarged heart Sunday. “It was a brutal week,” senior defensive end Jake Bequette said. “It really puts football in perspective. Any time you lose a teammate, it was just a tough week for all of us.” The Razorbacks had just 254 yards of offense, including just 89 after the half. The Hogs built the two-touchdown lead early in the second quarter, but it didn’t last long. LSU sophomore Tyrann Mathieu returned a punt 92 yards for a score to tie the game 14-
14, then the Tigers took a 2114 halftime lead on a quick touchdown drive after Mathieu stripped Hogs’ running back Dennis Johnson inside LSU’s 40. The momentum had shifted. “Gave them a big punt return and then didn’t play very good two-minute defense after we fumble the ball when we were driving it,” Petrino said. “I think that was a huge turning point in the game.” Arkansas cut the lead to 2117 on its first drive of the third quarter, but LSU answered by running for 210 yards and controlling the ball for more than 21 minutes in the second half. The Razorbacks couldn’t stop the run to get off the field, though. “They ran the ball well,” Bequette said. “That’s their bread and butter. We knew that if we could get a lead on them early, hopefully they would abandon

Arkansas dropped five spots to No. 8 in the BCS standings released Sunday night following its 41-17 loss at No. 1 LSU on Friday. The Razorbacks fell to No. 6 in the Associated Press poll and No. 10 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Despite the loss, the Hogs stretched their streak to eight consecutive weeks in the top 10, their longest run since 1985. Arkansas dropped behind No. 3 Oklahoma State, No. 4 Stanford and No. 5 Virginia Tech in the BCS. With the bowl game remaining this year, the Razorbacks are 20-5 the last two seasons and each loss has come against a team that was ranked No. 1 at some point in the season. The Hogs’ 25-6 record over their last 31 games is bettered only by Alabama, Virgina Tech, Boise State, TCU, Oregon, LSU and Stanford over the same span.

COMMENTARY
When Broadcasters Get In The Way of the Game
Going for it on 4th
HARRISON STANFILL hstanfill@uark.edu What more could I possibly have to say about Friday? It started with such promise for Arkansas fans as the Razorbacks jumped out to a 14-point lead against LSU in the belly of the beast, Baton
Rouge, but would only end in heartbreak and confusion for Hog fans. Arkansas would eventually relinquish its lead due to the inability to stop the running attack of LSU and find any answers for the Tigers’ defense. It is basically simple as that, LSU made the plays and Arkansas had no answer. There is really nothing more that could be said. There was a side of the game that if you were an Arkansas fan it was very frustrating to watch, though, especially if you were sitting at home watching the game on CBS. While browsing Twitter throughout the game, I happened to notice that people were not talking about how
our defense was struggling or how good LSU was playing on both sides of the ball. Instead the ire of Hog fans were being directed toward the CBS announcers. With good reason. I will admit my bias right from the beginning – I do not like Lundquist or Danielson. I believe they are very unprofessional and take away the focus from the actual game. During a tie ball game in the second quarter, the focus was not on what a good game it was, it was all about Jordan Jefferson “overcoming coming adversity to lead the Tigers to the No. 1 spot”. Jefferson got into a fight at a bar, was charged with a felony that was later dropped to
a misdemeanor and was immediately allowed to play for LSU. Sure, I guess that could be phrased as “overcoming adversity”. While Arkansas was only down seven points at halftime, it was as if the game had been sealed and LSU was the greatest team in the world. Now, granted, the Razorbacks did lose 41-17 and by all observations LSU does seem to be the greatest team in the world right now, there is a level of professionalism required while broadcasting these games that Lundquist and Danielson do not possess. As a broadcaster, it is your job to get people to watch the game and stay watching as long as possible. I am not sure
that getting players names wrong and giggling amongst themselves is the best way to attract ratings. I have watched every away game on television and the fans have yet to take offense with Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge of ESPN or Dave Neal and Andre Ware of the SEC Network. When it comes to Lundquist and Danielson, who have called three Arkansas games this season, they have gotten on the fan’s bad side. I understand that when it comes to Arkansas athletics some people have a hard time looking at it from an unbiased perspective, but even during the Mississippi State game, when the Hogs were blowing
out the Dawgs, Twitter was blowing up over Arkansas fans discontent for the CBS duo. As a broadcaster you are held to a different standard, you are supposed to be unbiased and have something to offer to the viewing experience that the normal person doesn’t have. When you think of great broadcasters, you think of John Madden, Keith Jackson, Brent Musburger, Howard Cosell and Al Micheals. I don’t believe that I have ever heard one of these men call a game and make it about something besides the game. The reason that Lundquist

Hogs Rout Grambling State by JIMMY CARTER Sports Editor
Arkansas got one win against the Tigers over Thanksgiving weekend. The Razorbacks’ four freshmen combined for 53 points and the Hogs turned up the defensive pressure in an 86-44 rout over Grambling State in Bud Walton Arena. Arkansas scored 39 points off 27 Tigers turnovers and the 44 points allowed were the fewest since a 67-42 win against Texas-San Antonio on Dec. 12, 2007. “I thought our defense was good,” Anderson said. “We had 25 deflections at halftime. That tells me how active we were.” An estimated 5,500 fans – the sixth-smallest crowd in Bud Walton history – saw the highly-touted freshman class combine for its best performance this season. BJ Young, Ky Madden, Hunter Mickelson and Devonta Abron totaled 53 points, 21 rebounds 14 assists and 88 minutes played, all the highest outputs of the season from the group. “They played well,” Anderson said. “They got the most minutes of all the guys out there. So to me that’s a reflection of their play. I thought at times they were pretty impressive. They were active. Sharing the basketball, playing together. They just played with a lot of

That’s how it’s going to have to be … because of the freshmen having to come in and support the guys. We’re going to have to learn pretty quick.” The trio scored 16 unanswered points after checking in with senior forward Marvell Waithe. Junior starter Julysses Nobles played with the group, then was replaced by sophomore walk-on Kikko Haydar. The Hogs kept building the lead. “I thought when those guys came off the bench … they even took the tempo up a notch for us and got us into our transition game,” Anderson said. Young finished with 18 points and four assists. He has led the team in scoring in all three game since junior forward Marshawn Powell tore his ACL. “I’ve been around a lot of players … he’s one of those fastest guys I’ve seen in the open
court,” Anderson said. “When he gets in the open court he’s pretty fast and he’s kind of determined at times. That’s good and bad, but tonight it was good.” Mickelson and Abron scored 10 points each, both careerhighs, while playing against 7-foot Tigers center PJ Roberson. Roberson had a triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks, but Arkansas outscored Grambling State 46-8 in the paint. “I think (the freshmen big men playing well was) great because we were going to need that,” Anderson said. “It’s hard to shoot over a 7-footer, but I thought we did a good job moving and attacking him.” Mickelson also chipped in eight rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals. “He’s a really good passer,” Anderson said. “The thing I like about Hunter, though, is he’s very active on the defensive end. We had more blocked shots than any game we’ve played and I think he changed a lot of shots.” Madden had hit just 1 of 7 from 3-point range in the first

He left the game late in the second half after appearing to injure his ankle, an injury Anderson said wasn’t serious. “He has some little gimpy
ankles so he probably tweaked it when he went up,” Anderson said. “I thought Ky played consistently throughout the entire game. I’ve been getting on him here lately because I thought he’d been playing tentatively and a little weak, but I thought to-
night he was a lot stronger with the basketball.” It was the Razorbacks’ largest margin of victory this season. “We’ve all just been working hard in practice and then we’re finally bringing our practice into the game,” Abron said.

Wilson threw for 207 yards and a touchdown, but was sacked five times and pressured often. His fourth-quarter interception set up the LSU score stretching its lead to 38-17. ‘They did (get to him), particularly there in the second half,” Petrino said. “That caused him not to look downfield sometimes. You know, certainly made a big difference in the game.” The Razorbacks looked sharp and capable of pulling off the upset early. The Hogs scored on the first play of the second quarter when

Wilson found senior receiver Jarius Wright for a 13-yard touchdown. Wright tied the school single-season receptions and touchdowns mark with the catch, while breaking the singleseason yards mark. It was the first time LSU (120, 8-0) trailed at home this season. On the ensuing drive, Arkansas senior safety Tramain Thomas poked the ball loose from Tigers running back Michael Ford and junior linebacker Alonzo Highsmith caught it in the air on a dead run, returning it 47 yards for a touchdown. It was LSU’s largest deficit this season. “We accomplished our goal, which was to come in here and score quickly,” Bequette said. “Start fast. We were ready to play, which was obvious. We got a big play on defense there and it was 14-0 right off the bat.” The deficit didn’t last long for the Tigers.
