Handfuls of professors publish literary works of artKimberley O’bryan

Journalist

You’ve passed that glass case in the Liberal Arts building: the one with the newly pub-lished professors’ books in it.

Have you read them? If not, are you aware of what you’re missing?

Professor Mike Markel, Di-rector of Technical Commu-nication, has published seven nonfiction novels about writ-ing. But last year he shook things up and added his first novel, titled “Big Sick Heart.”

“[I] chose the murder-mys-tery genre so that I could kill people without going to jail,” Markel said, jokingly. “I’m un-afraid of any kind of writing; no genre is safe.”

“To me, this finesse of per-ception in human behavior, the ability to perceive beyond or-dinary charlatans’ alibis made Mike Markel shine as an author and ‘Big Sick Heart’ becomes

an extraordinary read,” Beth Adams of the Pacific Book Review wrote. But, Markel isn’t the only Boise State fac-ulty making waves in the writ-ing world. History Professor Joanne Klein wrote “Men: The Secret Lives of Police Consta-bles in Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, 1900-1939,” which was published in 2010. She called her policemen “in-visible” because of the way peo-ple see just a uniform instead of the human being. Klein spent weeks “getting very dirty in police archives” and discover-ing how “talkative and gossipy” English policemen could be.

“I wanted to know what it was like to be an ordinary po-lice constable, just walking his beat on an ordinary day,” Klein said.

English Professor Linda Marie Zaerr used her musical talent to help with her book research, playing the vielle (a type of 15th century violin)

while reciting a memorized story in Middle English.

Zaerr’s book is titled “The Middle English Romance in Performance.”

“It communicates the results of 20 years of research about how stories were performed with music in late Medieval England,” Zaerr said.

“Award winning author of ‘Volt’ ” appears on the bottom of Alan Heathcock’s emails. Heathcock, an adjunct profes-sor of English, is apparently not shy about letting people know about his success.

Nor should he be, at least not according to NY Times Don-ald Ray Pollack who wrote, “Heathcock displays a gener-osity of spirit that only those writers who love their charac-ters can summon, and ‘Volt’ is galvanizing proof of his talent.”

Heathcock’s stories center in the mythological town of Krafton.

“I had no desire to write a

book about Indiana, or any spe-cific region,” Heathcock said. “So I created Krafton, never saying exactly where Krafton was located regionally, and de-signing its own geographical features, its own history and culture, as a composite of every small town I’ve ever been in.”

Professor of English Bruce Ballenger has written several textbooks for the creative non-fiction genre. “The Curious Researcher” series is used at Boise State and other universi-ties in 101 and 102 classes. His latest book, “Crafting Truth,” is the culmination of 25 years’ teaching creative nonfiction with emphasis in the personal essay.

“I hope the book not only helps students but contributes in a small way to promoting the idea that nonfiction genres are among our most important lit-erary forms,” Ballenger said.

English Professor Jeffrey Wilhelm has written 20 differ-

ent professional and academic books, including “Reading Don’t Fix No Chevys: The Role of Literacy in the Lives of Young Men.” Many of Wil-helm’s works focus on literacy for boys.

“The kids I have taught who have most struggled with lit-eracy are boys,” Wilhelm said.

He said his work filled a huge niche in the research base. Wil-helm is currently collaborating with Jim Fredricksen on a set of three books about writing due this November.

“English Fragments: A brief history of the soul” was written by Professor of English Martin Corless-Smith.

“In a way I want to be led astray by words, led into some-thing captivating,” Corless-Smith said about his writing. “I write pretty frequently and am always listening and read-ing with an ear to hearing something that sends me off writing.”

“I can’t forget the last time she was talking with me on the phone. She was in the ICO hospital. She asked me if I could go so that she could see just see me once for the last time but I couldn’t and two days after that she passed,” Farhad Mangal said, a tear rolling down his cheek.

Mangal, a senior human biology pre-med major from Kabul, Afghan-istan, lost his mother 14 months ago. He said it strengthened his ambition to become a medical doctor. The last time he saw his mother was near the end of 2006, just before he came to the United States.

Overwhelmed with emotions, Mangal said he didn’t know what to think as he arrived in America.

“I became really nervous. I thought that they were taking me back to Asia or something with the small airplane … Boise, from the airplane at night, it’s in the middle of mountains and I was just able to see the lights and then I thought, ‘Oh my God! I think they are tak-ing me to immigration office or they might’ve send me to an island where criminals or prisoners are,’ ” Mangal said.

Once he was off the plane, Man-gal met his family friend—who is now his wife—and was relieved to learn that he was in Boise. While adjusting to American culture,

Mangal has been through a few odd incidents.

In the Middle East, cops have to block a car to pull it over. Because the civilian is the one committing a crime, it is his or her responsibility to approach the cop.

“I was thinking that I was still in Asia or in Pakistan, so I was driving on the wrong side when the police came behind of me,” Mangal said. “He thought that I’m a drunk driver, you know, driving on the wrong side of the road and I’m trying to escape. And then I explained it to him … so he was pretty nice, he just gave me a warning.”

Having lived here almost four years now, Mangal has grown accus-tomed to life in America and is fond of Boise.

“People are very nice. I am im-pressed with their behavior,” Mangal said. “By facing all these different cultures, as of now, I’m pretty easy with adjusting myself with the cul-tural gap or cultural differences.”

Mangal, the son of an ambassa-dor and one of six children, lived a wealthy life in Afghanistan and India as a child.

“We had drivers, we had a sweep-er who would clean the home, we had a gardener,” Mangal said. “We would do nothing except sleep, eat and study.”

When the Taliban took over Ka-bul, Mangal’s family had to move to Pakistan and live there as refugees. Mangal’s life changed drastically. His

family then had to live in a concrete apartment building where electric-ity was only sometimes on.

“As of now when I think back I’m really happy for the transition because that was a good opportu-nity for me to know that … in this world we have poor people also, that they need attention,” Mangal said. “When I was the son of a diplomat … I was under the view that every-one was having the same life as I was having.”

Mangal’s realization of poverty in Pakistan motivated him to become a doctor. Now, his goal in life is to go back to the Middle East and open a school or hospital in his hometown.

“My mother passed away almost a year and two months ago and she passed away because of not having sufficient health (care),” Mangal said. “I don’t want many other se-nior females or males to lose their lives because of not having enough for basic health related needs and requirements.”

The now 31-year-old is well on his way to becoming the doctor that his father asked him to be. With the sup-port of his wife Maryam Sabetian—also a student at Boise State—and financial support of his brother, Frai-doon Mangal, he has successfully been able to maintain a 3.82 GPA. He has also shadowed two doctors a total of 80 hours and done volun-teer work at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center and the Veteran Af-fairs emergency room hospital.

WASHINGTON, D.C. —- Iran plans to send ships to hover off the coast of New Jersey, according to a statement made by a commander to the Iranian state run news service.

“The same way that the world arrogant power is present near our marine borders, we ... shall also es-tablish a powerful presence near the marine borders of the United States,” the Iranian news service said, according to CNN.

It is presumed that “world arrogant power” refers to the United States.

Also according to CNN, United States officials were not worried. George Little, Pentagon spokes-man, told reporters that Iran has the right to send vessels into international waters, but “whether they can truly project naval power beyond the region is another question.”

LIBYA —- Gadaffi loyalists have been fighting off rebels in the city of Sirte for weeks now, though a two day truce was recently called in order to allow civilians to evacuate.

International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) members who were brought into the city during

the truce said heavy firing was still going on during the two-day period.

“The hospital is facing a huge influx of patients, medical sup-plies are running out and there is a desperate need for oxygen.

On top of that, the water res-ervoir has been damaged,” the

ICRC said in a statement.Friday the NTC troops were

able to capture the airport. The city is being attacked from both the east and the west, the two sides are trying to launch coor-dinated attacks against the city center, where most of the Gadaffi loyalists are based.

GAZA —- The statehood bid put forward by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, which is still being discussed by the United Nations, has widened the gap between already antagonistic political movements—namely, Abbas’ supporters and the Hamas.

The Hamas, an Islamic movement that rules the Gaza Strip, immediately objected to the submis-sion of the statehood bid, claiming that the bid “was a unilateral and absurd step that won’t benefit the Palestinian cause.”

This statement highlighted the gap between the two rivaling political parties, which have been at odds since the Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007.

Another settlement agreement between the two parties is expected to be negotiated and imple-mented starting in November. Both sides want to see the results of the statehood bid before getting started.

MONTGOMERY, ALA. —- A recent law requiring public schools to record students’ legal status in Alabama has led to many immigrant families pulling their children out of school.

Several districts with large im-migrant populations experienced a drop in attendance by Hispanic students, according to the Associ-ated Press. Numbers are not avail-able, but the shift was noticeable enough that a school superinten-dent appeared on a local Spanish-language television station saying parents “do not have anything to fear.”

Officials are trying to reassure families they are collecting this information for statistical reasons and because of privacy concerns they are not allowed to use this information to bring attention to students who may be in the coun-try illegally.

These statistucs will be in a re-port on how much is spent educat-ing illegal immigrants each year.

NEW YORK CITY —- Satur-day evening traffic on the Brook-lyn Bridge was blocked for sev-eral hours by protestors banging drums and chanting, “The whole world is watching.”

More than 500 were arrested on charges of obstructing traffic and disorderly conduct.

The movement, taking inspira-tion from the Arab Spring, has protested various issues over the past months, including police brutality, social inequalities pro-moted by the financial system, union busting and the economy according to the groups website, occupywallst.org.

Lanes connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn were blocked, while Manhattan-bound lanes were left open.

BOISE --- Boise Police recently took down a spice manufacturing and distribution operation which publicly sold the illegal substance in jars labeled “Twizted Potpourri,” ac-cording to the Idaho Statesman.

More than six months ago legisla-tion made “spice,” billed as an aro-matherapy, illegal. Since then police have been cracking down on opera-

tions like this one. According to of-ficers, it is likely that manufacturing spice in the warehouse went on for months and they might have been selling spice out of state.

Morgan Alley, accused of owning the store along with his wife, Tashina Alley, Charlynda Goggin and Cadee Peterson were arrested in connec-tion with the operation.

BOISE —- The Boise State Geo-sciences Department was at the game Saturday with a seismograph made of a blue and orange bowling ball recording seismic waves gener-ated by crowd noise.

The seismic waves can give clues about what parts of the game are more exciting for fans — data from previous games have shown that

interceptions cause a more violent reaction than touchdowns.

Students and Geophysics Club members learn to use the seismo-graphs in field research and collect-ing information relevant to detailed earthquake hazard mapping.

Data collected at Bronco Stadium has been presented at academic con-ferences.

BERKLEY, CALIF. —- A club at UC Berkley raised controversy on Sept. 20 by hosting an “inherently racist” bake sale.

The Berkley College Republicans’ (BCR) prices were based on race, gender, ethnicity and national origin.

Their price list was as follows: whites $2, Asians $1.50, Latinos $1,

blacks 75 cents and Native Ameri-cans 25 cents. An additional 25 cent discount was given to women.

The bake sale protests a bill that would allow universities to consider those demographics in admissions.

Many are offended and some have threatened to burn the table, accord-ing to BCR’s President Shawn Lewis.

There are people such as Kohyar Goodarzi, Iranian human rights activist; Wang Lihong, Chinese rights activist; and prominent hu-man rights activist Al-Amin Kimathi from Uganda who make fighting for human rights their whole life.

But why do these men and women put their lives in danger for the rights of others? And more im-portantly, what are our duties and responsibilities?

“Human rights means everybody has an equal chance,” Abod Almo-hawis, international student from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, said.

Almohawis is a 23-year-old fresh-man business major who has never heard of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

According to the United Nations website, “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopt-ed by the U.N. General Assembly on 10 December 1948, was the result of the experience of the Second World War. World leaders decided to com-

plement the U.N. Charter with a road map to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere.”

The site consists of 30 articles about human rights laws.

According to their website, UDHR aims to make a better world for human beings. Human rights are global and UDHR listed articles about the most important rights for humans regardless of race, ethnic-ity, religion, language or country ofl origin, everyone is human and as humans, we have rights.

Daniel Miko, a junior studying French and political science, is from Congo. He said he is aware of what UDHR is and what it does.

“I feel it’s a right for every people who can use it. It’s a right for people,” he said.

Miko also said he believes if peo-ple don’t know about their rights, they can’t exercise them.

Mahsa Azad, a 26-year-old inter-national student from Shiraz, Iran, is pursuing her master’s degree in civil engineering. She heard about UDHR, but she didn’t know about UDHR’s articles.

“I heard a lot about human rights … I remember the massive human rights abuses in Iran,” she said.

Lori Chastaine, professor in the English department said, “human rights are an important evolution for civil rights.”

So why don’t most people know about human rights?

“Because we think too globally,” Chastaine said. Although, she said that she had never heard of UDHR, either.

Human rights mean that all hu-man beings have a right to educa-tion, a right to equal protection of the law, a right to be protected against torture, a right to social secu-rity and many other things.

Farzan Faramarzi will continue to delve into the meaning and

history of human rights. Keep an eye out for he rest of this articles.

Career Fair aids in job search

Jenn HaskinJournalist

Like so many other students, ju-nior business economics major Sa-bonn Dammarell said she becomes frustrated when she sees “online application only.”

That’s why she is looking forward to this year’s Career Fair, which will take place Wednesday in the Student Union Jordan Ballroom from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“If only I could get in front of someone, I could sell myself,” Dam-marell said.

The Career Fair gives students that opportunity. And in the days following the fair, company-con-ducted interviews will be held in the SUB and the Career Center as well.

This year’s fair differs slightly from those held in the past, with a more intimate but diverse atmosphere. A broad range of participants will provide students with information specific to their degree and more personalized time with employers.

“Employers also come to campus to talk to students about what kind

of positions their companies have, what kind of majors they hire and what types of classes students can take to make them more market-able,” Career Counselor Jennifer Ross said.

“It’s all about networking,” Events and Outreach Coordinator Emily Jones said.

Events such as the Career Fair provide students with the opportu-nity to meet face-to-face with poten-tial employers rather than relying on their resumés alone, which are only one piece of the puzzle.

While resumés will still be ac-cepted by certain companies, this fair is more focused on establishing contacts, networking with employ-ers, obtaining information to vali-date career decisions within specific majors and accumulating tips on how students can market themselves after graduation.

“Having that contact makes a difference, from being just another piece of paper in a stack, to adding a face and a name,” Jones said.

This event will provide students with the individualized human in-

teraction necessary to demonstrate personality, charisma, work ethic and communication skills; in turn leaving employers with a good sense of a person’s honesty and in-tegrity that can’t fully be expressed on paper.

As far as careers are concerned, making a strong first impression is crucial, so students are encouraged to dress to impress. From freshman on up, the 2011 Career Fair is an opportunity to build lasting relation-ships with employers.

Ross said students will have the opportunity to “talk with employers about current positions they have open, current internships they have open, as well as future positions they might have.”

“The career fair can be that ‘foot in the door.’ It’s all about who you know and who they know,” Jones said. “You may not be employed or be all that interested in a job opportunity that is available through an employer at the career fair, but you have no idea who that recruiter knows and professional contacts they have and who they’re looking for.”

The Career Fair provides face-to-face interaction with potential employers.

Blink 182’s ‘Neighborhoods’ destined to become No. 1

Trevor villagranaLifestyles Assistant Editor

Six long years have passed since Blink 182’s highly docu-mented and widely televised break-up in 2005.

After spending much time apart, this snotty SoCal punk trio returns with “Neigh-borhoods,” the band’s sixth studio album.

In the wake of a plane crash involving Travis Barker and long time friend Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein, the three self depre-cating, tactless pop punk all stars found themselves in a room to-gether, for the first time since calling it quits.

After announcing their return

at the 51st Grammy Awards, the boys set out on their first North American tour in almost a decade. Upon returning home, Blink took residence in private studios and began what listeners would come to know as “Neigh-borhoods,” a collection of heart-wrenching, energetic songs about love, death and gravity.

This album is dark -- darker than any other previous releases from the band. Encapsulated in new-wave melodies, soaring vocals and heavy guitars, are lyr-ics immersed in the memory of passing friends and mentors.

Blink fans beware: there is not a single happy song on this re-cord. However, this doesn’t dis-tract from the insane production

value, depth and perseverance, this album so boldly represents.

The opening track “Ghost on the Dance Floor” starts with a gaudy beat by Barker -- as he pounds on toms and cymbals in a way that will have listeners wondering exactly how many arms this drum freak has.

Vocally, Hoppus is the Dean Martin to Tom Delonge’s Frank Sinatra as the dynamic duo makes use of an obscene amount of vocal layers and multi-dimen-sional harmonies. The pairing of Delonge’s eccentric vibrato with Hoppus’s melody driven accom-paniment make the verses and chorus of this song some of the most quotable and passionate on the entire album.

Opinion

AlishA GrAefe Assistant Opinion Editor

There are two reasons Boise State students leave football games early—the weather and the often-lopsided score.

When our fans start leaving the games at about halftime, it doesn’t reflect well on our team and hurts our chances at being picked to play in a bowl game.

Big-name people in sports look at our games every week-end and a lot of politics goes into

picking teams for bowl games—part of which is who can bring the most enthusiastic and spir-ited fans into the stands.

The No. 4 Broncos football team has had a great season so far, winning all four of their games this season by at least 14 points. They have a great chance of making it to another bowl game this year, but for some reason, they can’t keep their stu-dent fans in the stands.

This epidemic of student fans leaving the stands in masses be-fore the game is over isn’t new.

Many home games follow a pat-tern, one that has repeated ever since the Broncos’ last regular-season home loss in 2001.

The fans are all excited in the beginning; the boys start win-ning and by the time the second half rolls around, the team is so far ahead it’s unlikely the other team will ever catch up. Given this and the oftentimes unpre-dictable Boise weather, it comes as no surprise that students start to exit the stadium.

“I think it’s the same for most sports and the idea is that once

you reach a certain point in the game where you’re 30 points ahead, 40 points ahead your brain goes through something that says ‘they would need to score five touchdowns, they only have 30 minutes to do that, we’re one of the best teams in the nation, it’s probably not going to happen,’” said senior Sam Hall, a visual arts major. “So then people say it’s not worth my time to stay here. The opportunity cost of me staying here isn’t worth it; I’d rather do something else that is

more fun.”“I feel if it was a closer game

people would stay,” said fresh-man Karen Gellerman.

The weather is another big reason that students leave home football games early.

“I don’t like sitting around when it’s freezing and it’s a blowout and the starters are on the bench already,” said junior Marcus Boone, a general stud-ies major.

During the first two home games the weather shot up into the ‘90s and some students

didn’t feel like sticking around through the suffocating heat. All those bodies packed togeth-er in the student section make it even hotter.

Student fans need to remem-ber even though their tickets are free, the weather sucks and the game is a blow-out, they should still show their support and not leave early.

So next time you are out at a home BSU football game, stay the whole time and enjoy the glory that is Boise State Univer-sity football.

Bronco Nation lacks student support

A recent opinion column regard-ing Boise State admissions may have been closer to the truth some years back, but today’s students are meet-ing the most selective standards in Idaho. The bar on the freshman admissions index has never been higher in school history, requiring a

competitive high school GPA and above average ACT or SAT scores. An acceptance rate in the 90th per-centile has declined to 54 percent this past fall.

Boise State has become a univer-sity of choice. The availability of the College of Western Idaho has pro-

vided more access to post-second-ary education in the Treasure Valley and allows Boise State to focus on its mission as one of the top public schools in the Northwest.

We seek and admit students who are motivated to earn their degrees. Each incoming group is stronger

than the previous one as evident by the latest cohort where 40 percent of the new freshmen entered with a high school GPA exceeding 3.5. This year’s new students averaged 523 on the critical reading portion of the SAT and 531 on the math, sub-stantially higher than the national

averages of 497 and 514 respectively. Their propensity for academic suc-cess will translate into higher reten-tion and graduation rates.

Students need to be properly prepared for college and the admis-sions office evaluates that potential for success. Hundreds of students

were denied entry to Boise State this fall. Our admission standards have become more selective and will be tougher in the years ahead as our student body reflects the rising pro-file of the University.

Mara Affre is the executive director of Enrollment Services.

Letter to the editor

Karen Gellerman, freshman, criminal jus-tice:

“Since we’re really good this year we beat teams by so many points, it’s like we’re going to win anyway.”

Tiara Wright, fresh-man, English:

“The scores (are) so differ-ent that you know the Broncos are going to win and they keep Kellen (Moore) in and it just gets boring.”

Jessica Thrasher, ju-nior, psychology:

“In the winter time probably because it’s freezing and they can’t bear to be there anymore or they predict the outcome and they’re going to a party or something afterward.”

Sam Hall, senior, visual arts:

“I leave the games early be-cause we’re winning and don’t think they’ll lose.”

Marcus Boone, junior, general studies:

“I don’t like sitting around when it’s freezing and it’s a blowout and the starters are on the bench already.”

Megan Forsell, fresh-man, business:

“The older kids drink before the game and I think they’re alcohol is starting to wear off a little bit and they’re not as excited. The energy just dies down.”

Defense steps up as Bronco offense strugglesJoey Mccullough

Audio Producer

It wasn’t pretty but the Broncos will take the win. Former Bronco standout cornerback Marty Tadman tweeted midway through the third quarter saying, “If there is such thing, [sic] this is an embarrassing win.”

It’s hard not to agree with Tadman’s take after the Broncos topped the Nevada Wolfpack 30-10 from Bronco Stadium.

This season’s game was nothing close to what the game looked like last season when the Wolfpack shocked the Broncos in overtime. The Wolfpack looked timid on Saturday, confused and at times, even scared. The jitters seemed to get the best of the Bron-cos’ offense too as two catches were mishandled and dropped in their opening drive.

However, locked and ready to go the Bronco de-fense was ready to step up.

Nevada averaged 487.3 yards a game this season but managed only 182 yards against Boise State. Ne-vada’s football Head Coach Chris Ault called his of-fense “horrific.”

Nevada spent most the game with awful field posi-tion, not crossing midfield until the third quarter.

“Really proud how hard everybody played,” Foot-ball Head Coach Chris Petersen said. “[I’m] extremely happy with how our defense played, to hold these guys to three points late into the third quarter, I don’t think anybody thought that would happen.”

Boise State came out strong in the second half, something they’ve lacked historically.

“We know we haven’t come out in the second half and played how we wanted in the last couple of games,” junior cornerback Jamar Taylor said. “So, that was our motivation this week, just coming out and finishing.”

There was an uncomfortable feel to the Broncos’ offense as things seemed not to click for Quarterback Kellen Moore.

From the start, Moore and his wide receivers strug-gled to connect on passes. Just two plays after Boise State junior linebacker J.C. Percy snatched his first ca-reer interception, Moore lofted up a short pass to the end zone while falling down from defensive pressure; a play Moore said that he should have taken a sack.

Moore threw a second pick when in the second quarter looked deep to the end zone. It’s only the third time in Moore’s career he’s thrown multiple interceptions.

Moore finished the game 19-33 for 142 yards and two touchdowns. Statistically, this was the worst game of his career. Throughout the day Moore struggled with timing and accuracy and was obviously upset about his performance in post game interviews.

“I don’t necessarily worry about the missed throws, there’s going to be those now and again,” Petersen said Saturday. “The turnovers are the ones that you re-ally want to analyze … I think both [interceptions] he probably would like to have those back.”

Perhaps turning a corner is the Broncos’ running game. Senior runningback Doug Martin rushed for 126 yards—his first 100-yard game of the season—on 21 carries.

“[Doug] makes plays when plays aren’t there,” Moore said. “He’s able to get yards out of plays that don’t look so pretty.”

In the fourth quarter, Martin ran the ball 92 yards for a touchdown. The bad news was the run was ne-gated by a Bronco holding penalty, but the good news was that Martin ripped off a run like that for the first time this season.

The Broncos’ offense has yet to put together a com-plete game this year.

“No one’s perfect,” Martin said. “We just need to focus on the details and keep getting better through practice.”

Practice will be important this shortened week for Boise State. The Broncos are on the road and will face Fresno St. on Friday.

Boise’s defense disarms Nevada

Wyatt MartinSports Editor

On Saturday’s uncharacteris-tically hot October afternoon, Nevada’s famous pistol offense seemed to be firing blanks against the Broncos.

While the big story of the game was the sub-par play of se-nior quarterback Kellen Moore, the bigger story was the ability of the Bronco defense to utterly stifle Nevada’s offensive attack.

The Wolfpack could only mus-ter 50 yards through the first two quarters and were one of nine on third-down conversions in that time span. Boise State’s defensive line was nearly unstoppable as they continually shot their way into Nevada’s backfield, blowing up plays before they even met the line of scrimmage.

“They’re obviously doing something to get themselves bet-ter in the film room and out at practice,” junior linebacker J.C. Percy said. “If they keep doing what they’ve been doing, we’re going to be great.”

Percy was not the only one to take notice of the d-line’s out-standing effort.

“They stepped up and we’re

proud of those guys,” Football Head Coach Chris Petersen said. “There are some good players there and when they can get in the backfield, it’s going to give our defense a good chance to be good that day.”

The only points Nevada was able to get were in mop-up duty in the fourth quarter, when the game was already in hand for the Broncos.

This is quite the accomplish-ment, considering the Wolfpack put up 20 on the Oregon Ducks in their first game of the season. Nevada also piled on 516 yards (283 on the ground) against the Ducks. Compared to only 182 (59 rushing) against the Bron-cos.

Boise was able to force two turnovers Saturday, one on an interception by linebacker Percy and the other on a fumble recov-ery by senior defensive tackle Billy Winn. The Broncos also finished with a total of 12 tack-les for a loss, something that evi-dently played into the minds of the Nevada players and coaches.

“How the offensive front goes is how we’re going to go and that front just got handled today by the Boise defensive line,” Nevada Head Coach Chris Ault said.

“I’ve said it before, that is a very good front, that’s as good a front as you’re going to see.”

Senior defensive end Shea Mc-Clellin added two sacks on the afternoon, boosting his total to 4.5 on the year.

The Broncos were a man short in the secondary with the loss of senior cornerback Jarrell Gavins. Gavins suffered a knee injury last week in practice that will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season. The coaching staff is hopeful though, consider-ing Gavins will be able to use a medical redshirt for the year and should be able to return to the team next season.

Though the defense showed off their knack of being nasty and tenacious, they were a little over-zealous at times, getting several personal foul calls.

“One of the things that we try to really pride our self, and I think these kids take pride in, is they’re smart players,” Petersen said. “There was some dumb, dumb play out there today. Some foolish penalties that we’ll get fixed.”

Boise State will be tested on the road next week, traveling to Fresno State for the ESPN Friday night game.

New Mexico downs Broncos

Justin DalmeJournalist

The Boise State Broncos (10-7, 1-3 Mountain West Conference) took on conference foe University of New Mexico (11-5, 2-1 MWC) Saturday night, falling 30-28, 25-23, 23-25, 26-24.

The game marked the second straight conference home game for Boise State, as well as the second straight loss. Boise State came off a heartbreaking loss on Thursday to Texas Christian University, losing in five sets (22-25, 25-21, 17-25, 25-18, 15-7).

Just like the previous match, Boise State fought hard and kept it close, but they couldn’t finish in the end.

“Especially after the loss on Thursday, that was an even harder loss because we were right in that game the whole time,” junior Liz Harden said.

“It’s a tough loss,” Head Coach Shawn Garus said. “I thought that there were stretches where we played fantastic volleyball and it just came down to execution at the end of each game.”

The match started with a thrilling first set which saw 11 ties and five lead changes. Boise State led by as much as eight before New Mexico

clawed back. The teams traded point after point and in the end, New Mex-ico took the first set 30-28.

The second set was just as tough with each team battling neck and neck. The set again saw double digit ties with 13 as New Mexico eked out the win 25-23.

In the third, Boise State led for most of the set. They relinquished the lead 21-22, only to take it back 23-22. That was all they needed, as the Broncos won their first set of the match 25-23.

The fourth set was another close one. New Mexico led the Broncos by as much as six before the Bron-cos took the lead 17-16. But, New Mexico fought back, taking the set 24-26 and the match 3-1.

“We gave our all, it just sucks,” ju-nior Fiona Jones said. “We couldn’t execute and finish through all the points.”

Harden led the Broncos with 15 kills while Jones added 12 more. Se-nior Breann Nesselhuf lead the team in assists with 35 kills while fellow senior Amanda Remy led the team in digs with 19.

With the loss, the Broncos now find themselves in a hole.

“It’s a huge hole, 1-3 in the con-ference, but we’re 0-2 at home,” Garus said. “You will not recover

from that. We’re not competing at the top of the conference right now. We’re hanging with people at home in matches that we need to be win-ning if we expect to be in the top half. So, we’re a long ways from where we want to be.”

And there is only one way the Broncos will get where they need to be: improvement.

“We’re going to have to keep get-ting better,” Garus said, adding that everybody is going to continue to improve and that “we need to im-prove faster than everybody else.”

Harden and Jones echoed their coach, saying that people need to step up and want the ball.

“Just demanding it, demanding more of everybody,” Jones said.

Harden agreed, saying, “Exactly, demanding more of yourself and your teammates.”

A scary moment came after the game ended when Ashley Rhoades of New Mexico collapsed on the gym floor. Trainers and staff wrapped her body in towels and ice. She did recover, walking off the court under her own power, but no comment was made as to what happened.

The next home game for the Broncos will be tomorrow night against Seattle University at 7 p.m.

Not so fast, NCAABoise State’s justifiable appeal on nonsen-sical football sanctions officially underway

John GarretsonOnline Sports Editor

Boise State is finally taking the corrective measure in ac-tion by appealing its addition-al sanctions from the hierar-chy of the NCAA, something a bit overdue.

What originally happened back in May was the NCAA recognized and brought at-tention to minor infractions upon the football team—as well as various other infrac-tions—in women’s tennis and co-ed track and field. To pre-

vent any outside disciplinary actions, the university took it upon itself to enforce self-im-posed sanctions to show that whatever mess they had made with the appalling infractions of freshmen arriving early and crashing on couches, they would clean up.

That didn’t sit well with the collegiate big wigs, and they decided that Boise State need-ed a harder slap on the wrist.

A pretty expensive slap, if I say so myself.

It wasn’t enough that Boise State cut back three practices

before the Sept. 3 Georgia game or another three before the Michigan State game next season or that they eliminated three scholarships for the next two years. They even iced the cake with a controversial fir-ing of Athletic Director Gene Bleymeir. The NCAA wasn’t satisfied and implemented an additional loss of scholar-ships for another year as well as fewer practices. A textbook definition of: they came, they saw, they conquered.

Not too pretty‘Boys in Blue’ scramble to keep it together

Lucio PradoJournalist

The 34,098 fans screaming “BOISE!” “STATE!” at Bronco Stadium Saturday afternoon got what they wanted, a Boise State win. However, it probably wasn’t how they envisioned their beloved Broncos would play.

The Broncos opened the scoring in the first quarter with a strike to D.J. Harper from Kel-len Moore for 21 yards taking an early 7-0 lead. Boise scored two more times in the first half and limited Nevada to 50 total yards through two quarters.

One would have assumed the Broncos were cruising along as usual, with Moore guiding his troops to another easy victory.

That was not the case, how-ever; the Broncos’ defense was superb. While Boise’s special teams never let Nevada start a drive outside their own ter-ritory, the Broncos’ offense looked out of sync and out of character, dropping passes and overthrowing receivers.

“I think some credit really goes to some of their defenders, they have some good secondary guys and play man-to-man cov-erage,” Football Head Coach Chris Petersen said. “We’ll put the tape on and try to assess that. Fortunately, our run game came to life a little bit, I cared more about that than the pass game, cause I know we’ll get that figured out.”

Quarterback Kellen Moore struggled going 19 of 33 for 142 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Misfir-ing several times, one of the nation’s most accurate passers definitely seamed frustrated with his performance.

“I think we weren’t execut-ing,” Moore said. “There were plenty of things on my part, you got to get better at and hopefully get all of those things out of you and move on.”

Although the Broncos strug-gled offensively throwing the ball, Martin and the run game seemed to play with a chip on their shoulder gaining 169 yards on the ground — carry-

ing the offensive load.“Man, Doug, he finally came

out of his shell a little bit and he was Doug,”junior linebacker J.C. Percy said. “He’s an awe-some player. I always hate when I have to tackle him when we scrimmage and stuff because he’s such a physical runner and its just nice to watch someone play like he plays.”

Doug Martin finished the game with 21 carries for 126 yards and two touchdowns.

“It feels real nice, we strug-gled with the run game the past two games,” Martin said. “I think we picked it up today. The line did a really good job today as well as the receivers blocking down field. I think we focused on the details more this game.”

The Broncos will have a short week now to prepare for yet another rival, Fresno State. They know they have yet to put together a complete game and understand they are not perfect, but with practice they intend on getting as close to perfect as possible.

Let’s go back to the pricing of this for the Broncos. Sure, it’ ll save them money, but not a positive saving. The num-bers point out that each schol-arship is valued at $19,773, the average between in-state and out-of-state tuition. Multiply that number by nine (the number of scholarships lost) and your total comes out to a $177,957 penalty for infractions involving less than $5,000 in impermissible ben-efits. Not a mismatch at all.

Take Ohio State University for example, where the Buck-eyes in Columbus, Ohio got penalized for accepting cash

and improper ben-efits from a local tat-too parlor. Swapping

BCS memorabilia for “I heart mom” tattoos cost Ohio State five players. One of which, quarterback Terrelle Pryor bolted for the NFL and their head coach, Jim Tressell, took a job as an assistant for the Indianapolis Colts after his resignation.

Payment matches punish-ment in this case.

Or the Hurricanes of Uni-versity of Miami, in which booster and Ponzi scheme extraordinaire Nevin Shapiro invested more than $2 mil-lion into the football program. This great story involved 72

different football and basket-ball players who received im-proper benefits from Shapiro, such as strip club visits and VIP entrances to parties from 2002-10. And the penalty for this? A “collegiate football death threat,” in which they would be forbidden from BCS bowls for x amount of years and suspended eight of their players for at least one game. Eye for an eye in my mind.

I hope Boise State does get their appeal approved by the NCAA, not only to wake up the committee and realize where they went wrong, but to correct their actions in future judgments on NCAA viola-tions.
