Meet the new Voice of the Mountaineers

‘Something new’: Stadium to offer taste of local favorite flavors

by madison fleckassociate city editor

Fans of West Virginia University football come to Milan Puskar Stadium for its atmosphere, its Mountaineer football and now, for its food.

This football season, Mountaineers will be able to enjoy more con-cessions at a faster pace.

The stadium will offer five new concessions in-cluding Wow Wingery, The Gourmet Hot Dog Stand, Simply To-Go, Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint and The End Zone Tap House, which will feature craft ales from

Morgantown Brewing Company.

“When you say you’re on tap at the Mountain-eer football stadium, you get that sense of pride,” said Lauren Sandberg, marketing director at the Morgantown Brew-ing Company.

Sandberg said the brews will be sold on tap at four different loca-tions throughout the sta-dium this year: the East and West concession stands, the North end zone and Touch Down Terrace.

The Brewery will con-tribute its Alpha Blonde Ale and its Zach Mor-gan’s IPA to the selection

of beers at the stadium.“I think people are just

getting tired of the stan-dard offering,” Sand-berg said. “People are just ready for something new, ready for some-thing different. People want to come and do what’s local and drink what’s local, and West Virginia is known for its tailgating. It’s cool to be a part of the tradition that is Mountaineer football.”

Sandberg said the Morgantown Brewing Company distributes its ale locally as well as to other cities in West Virginia.

A day in the life of the Mountaineer Mascot

by summer ratcliffcity editor

No Mountaineer football game is com-plete without the sounds of the West Vir-ginia University Marching Band. With the

band comes the famous voice of Bill Nevin. While most fans can

easily recognize Nevin’s distinct voice, few actually know the face behind it.

Nevin, a native of Ottawa, Ill., and graduate of Southern Il-

linois University, moved to Morgantown in 1990 to

take a job with West Virginia Radio. Af-

ter 11 years, Nevin came to work for

the University in the News

“Without challenge, there can be no Mountaineers.”

While this saying rings true for all Mountaineers, no one person can relate more than the

man behind the buckskins. Most West Virginia Uni-

versity students and fans only have the opportunity

to see the Mountaineer Mascot on gameday. They see him running around signing auto-

graphs and taking pictures, ex-citing the fans and doing count-less push-ups with each score.

While gameday is a portion of the Mountaineer’s duties, this extremely important job entails much more than what meets the eye.

In February, Jonathan Kim-ble, the man behind the buck-skin suit and raccoon hat, once again took on the lifestyle and responsibilities of being the Mountaineer for his second and final year.

“I didn’t know much about the mountaineer mascot be-

fore I came to school here,” Kimble said. “Just like any other student, I was up in the Mountaineer Maniacs sec-tion just cheering, never sitting down and getting the whole crowd fired up around me. My friends saw how much pas-sion I had for WVU sports, and they suggested I try out for the Mountaineer.”

The third time was a charm for Kimble, as he applied for the job his sophomore and junior year, but was not awarded the title until he was a senior.

“I said to them, ‘You mean I

get to grow out my beard, carry around a gun, and yell at the refs? That’s perfect for me,’” Kimble said.

However, he said there’s much more to the job than most people know about.

“I have appearances every single day. My first year I did more than 415 appearances, and I’ve probably done an-other 200 this summer,” he said. “So every day I’m in a different county or state just

traveling to different ele-mentary schools, children’s hospitals and a lot of differ-ent WVU functions.”

Kimble said while it’s been an incredible and unique experience, it can be difficult to balance every-thing. Kimble is still work-ing on his Master’s degree at WVU and is planning on graduating in May, just af-ter hanging up his rifle for good in April.

“A couple years ago I was trying out for the Mountain-eer and applying to grad school. I didn’t really know if I would get either of those, but everything’s just fallen into place,” Kimble said.

“It can get hard. Today I’ve been away from Mor-gantown since 6 a.m. vis-iting elementary schools, so it’s very time consum-ing,” Kimble said. “But it’s a great sacrifice to be able to

give back to the state of West Virginia and make it a bet-ter place.”

Coming from the small town of Franklin, W.Va., Kimble said one of his most memorable experiences was being the Mountaineer dur-ing WVU’s inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference.

“WVU got a lot of expo-sure, and so I got to be in ESPN commercials. They flew me out to L.A., put me in this fancy hotel, I bumped into Erin Andrews in the weight room, and I got to be around the whole Col-lege Gameday crew. It was a pretty neat experience,” Kimble said.

Kimble also had the chance to represent all Mountaineers in a WVU commercial, in which he ran through Cooper’s Rock.

“I have thousands of pic-tures of things I’ve gotten to experience and people I’ve gotten to meet, so every day is just something unique, and it’s quite the blessing,”

Kimble said.Amid all the chaos that

comes with Kimble’s alter ego, he fell in love.

“I’m actually married,” he said. “I had one free week-end last year during the whole entire summer, and that was the weekend we got married.”

While this weekend is another busy one for Kim-ble, he’s excited to run out onto the field of Milan Pus-kar Stadium for the kickoff of his last football season as the Mountaineer.

“People always ask me, ‘What are you going to do when you’re done being the Mountaineer?’ And I tell them I don’t know, I don’t think about it – I don’t want to think about it,” Kimble said. “But someone else will have the chance to live the dream as the Moun-taineer, and I’ll just go back to being another crazy fan again.”

Holgorsen show kicks off with large turnoutby summer ratcliff &

madison fleckda staff

The sounds of Moun-taineer football filled the air at Kegler’s Sports Bar & Lounge Thursday night as this season’s first edition of “The Dana Holgorsen Show” aired.

“We have changed lo-cations, and we have changed faces,” said Tony Caridi, the Radio Voice of the Mountaineers. “We talk about it and talk about it forever, and spring bowl becomes summer, and off-season conditioning, and

then all of a sudden prac-tice starts.

“Then when these kinds of things start hitting, you start seeing the flag on top of the cars and peo-ple starting to get ramped up. Now we are just a cou-ple of days away from the opener; it is time to play football.”

Approx imately 200 Mountaineer fans packed into the bar area of the res-taurant to hear head coach Dana Holgorsen talk about the upcoming football season.

Holgorsen said he is highly anticipating the

kickoff Saturday. “It’s good to be back, it

means game time is on the horizon,” he said.

Holgorsen said he is pleased with the players’ performances leading up to this weekend’s game against William & Mary.

“They’ve done a good job of eliminating distrac-tions. They’ve handled the school work and we’ve had three good practices, we can’t do anything more,” he said. “We’ve got to get to the game Saturday un-til we can tell anything else about our football team at this point.”

Loyal fans from around the area came to show their support and to take part in the festivities.

Jeremy Cole, Morgan-town resident and West Virginia University alum, said because of his excite-ment for the beginning of football season, he always attends the first show each year.

“My dad has had sea-son tickets since 1988, so I grew up watching WVU football,” Cole said.

Having been brought up on the ideals of Moun-taineer sports, Cole said he is optimistic about this

year’s team and the poten-tial they possess.

“This is one of the first years where I really don’t have expectations. Let’s just get to a bowl game,” he said. “I know we’re a young team, but I think we might surprise some peo-ple and win at least nine games – at least that’s what I’m hoping for.”

Kegler’s manager Doug Moore said although the day had been hectic he was pleased with the large turnout.

“I think more people will come out for this since it is sports oriented. If you

like sports, this is where you want to be, and this is a good place to have it,” he said. “We’re open-ing it up to people who’ve never been here before, and hopefully they’ll come back and enjoy the game. Instead of coming once a week, they might come more often.”

The call-in radio show airs each Thursday eve-ning before home foot-ball games 7-9 p.m. on the Mountaineer Sports Network from IMG.

Roundabout to eliminate gameday traffic woesby laura HaigHt

correspondent

The increase in traf-fic that Saturday’s foot-ball home opener will bring to Morgantown is bound to put the new roundabout, located at the intersection of Route 705 and Mileground Road, to the ultimate test.

This intersection is one of the most congested in the area, and the newly opened roundabout aims to keep the traffic flowing , as opposed to the origi-nal traffic light that previ-ously left cars backed up for miles.

Jason Nelson, Dis-trict 4 Construction Engi-neer, said he has received mostly positive feed-back about the new traf-fic patterns.

“At first it seemed to be confusing to drivers, so we changed some of our road markings and signs, but for the most part it was just people getting used to the new configuration,” Nelson said.

Although the round-about itself hasn’t caused any accidents, the problem seems to be drivers don’t particularly know how to navigate it correctly. Be-cause this is Morgan-

town’s first roundabout, it has taken many drivers by surprise, thus causing them to stop in the mid-dle of it or change lanes incorrectly.

“If anybody is con-cerned about using the roundabout, I would di-rect them towards the W.Va. Division of High-way’s website,” Nelson said.

On the website, con-cerned drivers will find a video tutorial on how to properly use a roundabout and a FAQ that answers all possible questions.

Nelson said the most important thing when en-tering the roundabout is

to yield to the cars already inside of it.

“If any of the students are concerned about it, just give it some time and you’ll get used to going through it. Everybody else over the summer seemed to have acclimated to it pretty well,” he said.

Carrie Bly, spokesper-son for the Division of Transportation, said au-thorities will be keeping an eye on the roundabout come Saturday and will direct traffic if the need arises.

“The thing about round-abouts is that if there is an accident, most are by first- time users and you’re go-

ing so slow that there isn’t heavy damage,” Bly said.

Nicole Kurtanich, a se-nior psychology student at West Virginia University, said she uses the round-about at least once a week.

Kurtanich said agrees that at first the roundabout can prove to be chaotic for drivers who may not have encountered one previ-ously, but overall she likes the flow tcreated by the roundabout.

“Beyond the initial shock of it, I think it will keep football traffic mov-ing at a constant rate so local police won’t have to manually direct traf-

fic during gameday,” Kur-tanich said.

Mike Gaszi, a car sales-man for 1 Touchdown City Pre-Owned Vehicles, lo-cated nearest to the round-about. Although the con-struction leading up to the roundabout hurt his sales, he admits now that the roundabout works better than the previous traffic light.

“Before they did this ( ro u n d a b o u t ) , t h e re w e re a c c i d e nt s e v-e r y d a y . I h a v e n ’ t seen one yet,” Gaszi said.

“You can go to a bar and drink the beer that the fans at the game are drinking,” she said. “It’s a cool con-cept. They can get the IPA at home, they can get it here, and they can get it at the stadium.”

Along with locally brewed beers, The End Zone Tap House will offer bar foods such as bratwurst on a pretzel bun.

Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint is another appealing din-ing option for Mountain-eer fans. On game days, the Joint will begin as early as 4 a.m. to smoke a full pig at the main entrance of Milan Puskar Stadium.

Pork sandwiches and sausage is what Martin’s

will offer to Mountaineer football fans.

“It’ll be something new and something different,” said Micah Davis, assis-tant manager at Martin’s. “We’re hoping to sell out.”

The Joint will occupy four locations in the sta-dium, at each corner, ac-cording to Davis.

“Our owners went to WVU, so they’re all about the school spirit and the football game,” he said. “We’re definitely honored to be part of it.”

Fans will also have ac-cess to healthier options this year at Simply To-Go, which will be located at the East and West sides of the stadium. The carts will con-tain items like wraps, par-faits and peanut butter and jelly.

More registers will also

be provided at the stadium, reducing wait time for fans.

The additional registers have been added to the grill carts on both the East and West sides of the sta-dium, and the stands will now accept credit cards, giving fans a more conve-nient option.

Whether fans crave craft beer, New York style hot dogs, pulled pork, wings or peanut butter and jelly, all tastes can be fulfilled this season at Milan Pus-kar Stadium.

Information Ser vices Department.

In 2004, after long-time WVU PA announcer “Doc” Stephens passed away, Nevin, who is now the assis-tant vice president of com-munications for the WVU Foundation, auditioned and landed the job of public an-nouncer for WVU basketball games.

“Shortly after that, I was contacted by the band folks and was asked if I would be interested in being their announcer for the WVU Marching Band – and of course I said sure to that,” Nevin said. “So this is now my ninth year announc-

ing for the band and my 10th year announcing for basketball.”

Nevin’s booming voice will now not only be the voice of the Pride of West Virginia, it will also be the voice of WVU Football.

“I was contacted by the athletic department a cou-ple weeks ago because Tra-vis Jones, who did the foot-ball announcing for the last 10 years or so, recently took another job,” he said. “So they were in need of some-one to do the football an-nouncing this year. I’m re-ally honored that they asked me to do that.”

Because of the much larger volume of players, Nevin said making the tran-sition to announcing for

football from basketball is a challenge but one that he is ready to tackle.

“With football you obvi-ously have larger rosters of players than you do with basketball. You really have to wait for the depth charts to come out, and for WVU it was just back on Sunday night that we got our two-deep depth chart,” he said. “Then you also have to look at the depth chart of the op-posing team, so you start looking over the names and familiarize yourself with the starters and their backups. You almost put together a depth chart on paper for yourself.”

Nevin also said the fact that WVU operates under such a quick offense also

proves to be challenging for announcers. There’s a lot of information to process and immediately announce.

“You have a spotter that works with you to help you because with WVU’s offense, it moves really quickly, and you don’t have a lot of time to really react to the plays,” Nevin said. “If it’s a run play – who the ball carrier is; if it’s a pass – who was the pass completed to and who made the tackle. You also have to look at the distance of the play and the down marker.”

In addition to announc-ing the plays, there is also a lot of scripting that goes into a game. Nevin said prior to each game he receives a script and spends several

days previewing that script. “We have a lot of an-

nouncements that are made before the game even starts, announcements dur-ing timeouts and at the end of each quarter. So you have another script that is pre-pared for you that you go over prior to game time,” he said. “We usually get the script several days in ad-vance to look over and ask questions.”

Nevin said although an-nouncing for football is go-ing to be a bigger challenge for him than announcing for basketball, he feels ex-tremely honored to have the opportunity to be a part of WVU football game days.

“Announcing for foot-ball is certainly a bigger

challenge, but I’m really ex-cited for it,” he said. “Every-one gets so enthused about Mountaineer sports and everyone loves the WVU marching band.

“To actually have a role and to be a part of the expe-rience people get when they attend a game or a concert is really a thrill for me.”

2 kittens that stopped nyc subway service found

NEW yOrK (aP) — It only took two kittens to stop the city’s subway in its tracks.

Power was cut to the B and Q lines in Brooklyn for more than an hour after a woman reported Thursday morning that her kittens were loose in the nation’s largest sub-way system, transit officials said.

The furry felines, one black and the other white with gray stripes, were fi-nally found on the tracks and rescued about seven hours later.

How they got there was a mystery. But they were seen running dangerously close to the high-voltage third rail.

Their owner rushed to a subway station with cat food for transit workers dispatched onto the tracks to use to try to corral them.

Power was suspended be-

tween several stops– about half the Q line and the B line’s entire service in Brook-lyn – on the local and express tracks for 90 minutes, Metro-politan Transportation Au-thority spokeswoman Judie Glave said. The express line was stopped another half-hour while workers kept searching.

But the skittish kittens dis-appeared again before being discovered Thursday eve-ning under the third rail of an above-ground express track. Police officers removed the kittens in crates, Glave said.

Officials said workers and passengers in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood had been on the lookout for the kittens and train operators were asked to proceed with caution. If they saw anything moving on the tracks, they were required to stop and

notify the rail control center.Some passengers wanted

to help by scouring the tracks but were turned down by MTA workers citing safety concerns.

While the effort on be-half of the kittens created delays for passengers, the Q operated a shuttle service between two of its normal Brooklyn stops, said transit officials, who couldn’t imme-diately provide the cost of the extra service.

Conjoined boys sepa-rated at Dallas hospital

daLLaS (aP) — The mother of twins successfully sepa-rated after being born joined at the chest says she’s look-ing forward to holding the ba-bies she once thought had no chance of survival.

“I’m just so happy that they’re here and they’re alive and thriving. It’s the best feel-

ing in the world,” Jenni Ezell said Thursday during a news conference at Medical City Children’s Hospital in Dal-las, where she was joined by husband Dave and a doctor.

Owen and Emmett Ezell were separated Saturday at the hospital after being born joined from just below the breast bone to just below the belly button on July 15. The babies shared a liver and in-testines and had an about 3 inch by 5 inch area on their lower stomach that wasn’t covered by skin or muscles.

“The whole pregnancy was very frightening. I didn’t know what would happen. I didn’t know if they would make it. It’s hard as a mom to know that,” Ezell said tearfully.

Dr. Clair Schwenueman, a neonatologist, said that once the boys were born, tests

were done to determine ex-actly how many connections they had. During the nine-hour surgery, a team of sur-geons separated the liver and intestines, with the most dif-ficult part being the separa-tion of a shared blood vessel in the liver.

“At this point they’re as sta-ble as we could hope for post-operatively,” Schwenueman said.

Conjoined twins are rare, occurring in about one in 50,000 to one in 200,000 de-liveries, the doctor said.

The Ezells, both 31, discov-ered the twins they were ex-pecting were conjoined on March 1, when she was 17 weeks pregnant. The cou-ple, who now live in Dallas but lived in Oklahoma at the time, said their doctor there gave them little hope the ba-bies would survive.

“We didn’t think they had a chance, that they weren’t go-ing to make it at all,” she said. “So we decided to abort and it was the hardest decision that a mother has to make.”

The Dallas clinic where they went for the abortion had concerns that her scar from previous cesarean sec-tions might tear and sent her to Medical City for a consul-tation about the scar tissue. During that visit, a doctor un-expectedly told the parents that there was hope for their unborn boys, Jenni Ezell said.

“I could not contain my joy,” said Ezell, who added that since they weren’t even looking for a second opin-ion, she felt that through the whole process God was leading them to “ex-actly where we needed to be.”

Carolina Chocolate Drops pack MET

Italian Heritage Festival to fill streets of Clarksburg, W.Va.

exponent-telegram.comA crew begins to set up the stages for the Italian Heritage Festival.

BY LACEY PALMERA&E EDITOR

Every year during Labor Day weekend, a festival is held just 30 minutes south of Morgantown in Clarks-burg, W.Va.

The 35th annual West Vir-ginia Italian Heritage Festi-val is set to kick off today on Main Street in Clarksburg, packed with entertainment for everyone to enjoy, re-gardless of their heritage.

Aside from the many tents that line the street sell-ing Italian cuisine, such as steak sandwiches, hoagies, pasta, butterfly fries, fritis (a sugary doughnut treat) and cannolis – which are filled with cream and cov-ered in chocolate – the fes-tival also features much entertainment.

Brandon LeRoy, a junior civil engineering student from Bridgeport, W.Va., will be singing and showcasing his talent at the festival.

“I will be singing a variety of popular Broadway songs from plays such as Les Mis-erables, Phantom of the Op-era, West Side Story, Rent and Beauty and the Beast, along with current top hits by artists such as Michael Buble, Josh Groban and the Glee cast,” LeRoy said. “I will also be performing a couple soprano saxophone solos from Kenny G.”

LeRoy will be performing on the Showcase Stage Fri-day and Saturday 2:30-3:45 p.m., which is located half-way between City Hall and the Moose Lodge on Main Street.

Pam Krall, who LeRoy has been performing for at her music studio for quite some time, asked LeRoy to perform on her Showcase Stage at the festival.

“When she asked me this, she said she wanted me to be one of the featured per-

formers for the stage and put on an hour set,” LeRoy said. “After that I agreed, and we worked together to get as much publicity as we could for my performance and for the Showcase Stage.”

LeRoy will also be per-forming in the evenings with a popular local band in the Clarksburg area, Amici.

“Amici has become a must-see for the festi-val, as they have become famous for closing the night out by bringing peo-ple to their feet and danc-ing in the streets,” LeRoy said.

LeRoy will be a featured saxophone performer with Amici, with whom he will do improvisational saxo-phone solos for some of the many pop and Italian hits for which Amici is known.

“I am most excited for giving the local public an option of supporting the arts, showing them my tal-ent and making a con-nection to the audience,” LeRoy said. “That is my fa-vorite part of performing, when I can either move or inspire people through my performances. That is when the use of my talents really mean the most to me.”

Elleyse Gemondo, a West Virginia University fashion design and merchandising student, also from Bridge-port, will play a large part as the Italian Heritage Festival Queen, Regina Maria XXXV.

“My role as queen is to serve as a symbol for the festival,” Gemondo said. “My personal goal as queen is to be a role model for the younger kids to look up to as well as to represent my Ital-ian heritage and culture.”

Gemondo has partic-ipated in many festival events already, such as the Spring Gala and the 25th annual Pasta Cook-Off. This

weekend, Gemondo will be crowned at noon on Fri-day during the Coronation. Saturday, she will be in the grand parade from 10 a.m.-noon, and Sunday, she’ll participate in Mass.

“Other than that, I will be spending my time walk-ing the streets, enjoying the food and entertainment and being with friends and fam-ily,” Gemondo said.

Gemondo was chosen as Regina Maria XXXV after go-ing through a rigorous inter-view process.

WVU fashion design and merchandising student Sa-mantha Patsy and second-ary education student Car-rington Riggs, both from Bridgeport, will also play a role in the festival as Maids of Honor.

Lou Gramm, lead vo-calist for Foreigner; Jo Dee Messina, a CMA and AMA Award-winning country singer and songwriter; and The Buckinghams, known for their ‘60s pop-rock, will take the stage for three nights of free shows during the festival.

“We wanted to try to span some generations and genres of music to have something for everyone to get as many people out here for the 35th anniver-sary as we can,” said Lind-sey M. Lowe, festival coor-dinator to The Exponent Telegram, Clarksburg’s lo-cal newspaper.

Lou Gramm will perform on Saturday at 8:30 p.m., Jo Dee Messina will perform on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. and The Buckinghams will per-form on Friday at 8 p.m. Amici will perform Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m. to close the festival each night.

cory Dobson/tHe DaIly atHenaeUmThe Carolina Chocolate Drops rock the Metropolitan Theatre on High Street.

BY LACEY PALMERA&E EDITOR

As patrons both young and old entered the beau-tiful Metropolitan The-atre Thursday night to see the Carolina Chocolate Drops and the seats began to fill, the excitement was evident.

The lights lowered and opening act The Weedrags took the stage.

Formed in 2010, the Ap-palachian trio The Wee-drags of Washington County, Pa., is a string band comprised of Andy Greg on upright bass, Gary Antol on guitar and Libby Eddy on fiddle.

The group possessed a rustic look, which en-hanced their bluegrass and country-style music.

With original songs such as “Jangly Jack,” “High on a Mountaintop” and “First Try Type of Guy,” the groups country roots were obvious.

While listening to this opening act, it was nearly impossible not to tap your foot along to the music.

Local band Dog & Gun,

comprised of Evan Johns, Trent Porter and Ben Per-due, played outside the venue before the show began.

They were excited to be given the opportunity to see such great music.

“They (The Weedrags) were phenomenal,” Johns said. “It’s nice to see some-one from Morgantown play in this kind of a venue.”

Finally, after a seemingly never-ending intermission, the Carolina Chocolate Drops took the stage. With a backdrop featuring their name and a variety of in-struments alongside them on stage, they began to get comfortable in four chairs along the front.

Comprised of two orig-inal members Rhiannon Giddens and Dom Fle-mons and new members Hubby Jenkins and Leyla McCalla, the group made the MET stage their home and connected immedi-ately with the audience.

“It’s a pleasure to be here at the MET,” Flemons said.

Wednesday, the group had a day off in Morgan-town and said it was a “very

pleasant time.”After touring and per-

forming at festivals across Europe in Finland, Den-mark and England, the group traveled immedi-ately to the Mountain State.

For the first few songs, Giddens played with her 8-month-old son on her back, showing the true meaning of multitasking.

According to Giddens, her son was suffering from a little separation anxiety, so she needed to bring him on stage for a bit.

“I’ve never done an ac-tual show (with him), only soundchecks,” Giddens said.

With songs such as “Old Black Annie” and “Don’t Trouble Your Mind,” the group displayed their ease for encompassing multiple genres of music. A unique mix of bluegrass, country and soul was provided for the packed MET.

Throughout the perfor-mance, all the members of the group switched and played a variety of instru-ments, further showcasing their talents. Banjo, fiddle, guitar, harmonica, snare

drum, bones, jug and ka-zoo were all used during the performance.

One of the most interest-ing and entertaining songs the group played was a cover of Blu Cantrell’s R&B hit, “Hit ‘Em Up Style.”

The best aspect of the Carolina Chocolate Drops performance, though, would have to be their ability to connect with the audience.

When they weren’t talk-ing and joking with the au-dience, they were teaching more about their instru-ments and the history of their music, which was in-credibly interesting and al-lowed the audience to get to know the group on an-other level.

While showcasing their outstanding vocals and amazing sound from in-struments, the Carolina Chocolate Drops seemed to truly enjoy their perfor-mance at the MET, as they were constantly laughing and dancing, leaving the audience with smiles on their faces.

Backstreet Boys reunion release disappoints

After seeing ‘N Sync re-unite and perform at the MTV Video Music Awards, I began to wonder what another favorite ‘90s boy band, the Backstreet Boys, was up to.

To my surprise, the Backstreet Boys actually have several recent al-bums; their latest album, “In a World Like This,” was released in late July. I was excited to stumble upon this album and see how this beloved boy band had grown up.

However, after hear-ing a few of the tracks, my excitement turned to disappointment.

It’s hard for me to be-lieve that this boy band could go from such catchy, wonderful hits, such as “I Want it That Way” and “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” to such forgetta-ble, dull tracks.

“In a World Like This” attempts to show fans how members of the band now act their age with a more mature sound, but this album ultimately fails at capturing the audience’s attention.

Most of the songs in this album are, well, bor-ing. It’s not that these

songs are bad by any means, but they are eas-ily forgettable.

The songs are great to listen to if you want to hear the new tone the Backstreet Boys are go-ing for, but I don’t see any big hits coming from this album.

“Love Somebody” is without a doubt one of the worst songs of the al-bum. Before you’re even a minute into the song, you’ll want to skip to the next track. This song is weirdly upbeat and has some very strange lyrics accompanying it, such as, “You’re the reason the cave men drew on the wall/ Why after every summer we fall.” Simply put, this song is a train wreck.

“One Phone Call” is al-most equally as bad. The actual music isn’t horri-ble, but the lyrics, once again, ruin this song. The Backstreet Boys, for some reason, decided to run with an old prison meta-phor and tried to twist it into a love song. It didn’t work.

However, there are a few good songs on the al-bum that save it from flop-ping completely.

The best songs of the album, that are few and far in between, include “Show ‘Em What You’re

Made Of ” and “Trust Me.”“Show ‘Em What You’re

Made Of ” definitely cap-tures the old Backstreet Boys feel. This song is slower and showcases the band’s beautiful harmo-nies in the chorus, while maintaining the “grown-up” feel they were aiming for. This song reminds me of their popular 1997 hit, “As Long As You Love Me.”

“Trust Me” is proba-bly my favorite track of the album. This upbeat song has a summer time vibe. It’s the kind of song that you’ll want to play in your car with the windows down. This song makes up

for most of the lackluster songs on the album.

All in all, this is a decent album. I wouldn’t recom-mend buying it, but it is definitely worth listening to on Spotify if you have the extra time.

Worst songs of the al-bum: “One Phone Call” and “Love Somebody”

Best songs of the al-bum: “Show ‘Em What You’re Made of ” and “Trust Me”

Honorable mention: “Try”

Fall movie preview: 10 performances to watch this fall

AP ENTERTAINMENT —The fall movie going sea-son offers a bevy of hotly anticipated performances – some from famous faces, others from less familiar ones. Here are 10 worth be-ing excited about:

M AT T H E W Mc C O -NAUGHEY – He’s already given an Oscar-worthy supporting performance in Jeff Nichols’ Mississippi River coming-of-age tale “Mud” earlier this year. And McConaughey also has a role in Martin Scors-ese’s upcoming “The Wolf of Wall Street.” But in “Dal-las Buyers Club” he stars as an HIV-positive Dallas man who smuggles alternative medicine. It could be the apogee of McConaughey’s recent streak.

CHIWETEL EJIOFOR – The British actor’s lead performance in “12 Years a Slave” as a free black man with a family in Sara-toga Springs, N.Y., sold into slavery in Louisiana, is a hugely powerful portrait of undefeated dignity.

SANDRA BULLOCK – There are two on-screen actors in Alfonso Cuaron’s space thriller “Gravity”: George Clooney and Bull-ock. In zero gravity, Bull-ock grounds the film in one of the finest, least-adorned performances of her career.

OSCAR ISAAC – Though little known, Isaac landed the lead part in the Coen brothers’ Greenwich vil-lage folk revival “Inside Llewyn Davis.” In a film about an early `60s mu-sician always narrowly missing his breakthrough, Isaac’s own big break is as-sured. He also flawlessly sings and performs several folk ballads in the film.

BARKHAD ABDI – Tom Hanks’ lead performance in “Captain Phillips” will rightly be hailed and al-most certainly land him another Oscar nomination. But it wouldn’t work if he didn’t have a foil. In Paul Greengrass’s docudrama of a cargo ship taken by Somali pirates, Abdi plays Muse, the pirate leader who nicknames Hanks’ captain “Irish.” It’s the first

film for the Minneapolis man.

BENEDICT CUMBER-BATCH – The actor many know as Sherlock has no less than four major films this fall: “The Fifth Estate,” as WikiLeaks founder Ju-lian Assange; “12 Years a Slave,” as a slightly benev-olent slave owner; “August: Osage County,” as Margo Martindale’s son; and “The Hobbit: The Desola-tion of Smaug,” as the tit-ular dragon. Particularly remarkable is his precise portrayal of Assange.

BRUCE DERN – It’s been years since the 77-year-old actor starred in a film, a chance Alexander Payne gave Dern for “Nebraska,” a black-and-white road trip of father and son (Will Forte). In it, the loqua-cious Dern turns taciturn as an alcoholic but spirited veteran.

ROBERT REDFORD – If you thought the Sundance Kid didn’t say much, Red-ford is entirely mum in di-rector J.C. Chandor’s “All Is Lost.” Redford is utterly alone on screen in the tale of a man adrift in the In-dian Ocean.

DANIEL BRUHL – The German actor has had parts here and there: “In-glourious Basterds,” “The Bourne Ultimatum.” But this fall, he makes a big im-pression in starring roles in two films. In “Rush,” he plays the analytical Aus-trian Formula One driver Niki Lauda battling his ri-val, the British playboy James Hunt (Chris Hems-worth). He’s also the more level head in “The Fifth Es-tate” as Daniel Domscheit-Berg, the early collabora-tor and eventual foe of Assange.

WILL FERRELL – No, Ron Burgundy is not the kind of role that usually lands on lists like this. But who would argue that Fer-rell’s 1970s TV newsman (now transitioning into the `80s in “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues”) isn’t one of the greatest comic creations of the last de-cade? The mustachioed deserve kudos, too.

This weekend will be large on many counts: Saturday marks the first West Virginia University football game of the season, and Labor Day gives students an extended weekend.

These are ingredients for what will surely be a huge party weekend, especially if the Mountaineers win against William & Mary. And even if we lose, there’s still reason to blow off some steam.

It’s only natural that so many students from so many different backgrounds would come together to cel-ebrate in a variety of ways, most with loud music and booze. However, The Daily Athenaeum reminds you to stay safe during your adventures.

If you go to a party, make sure you know the per-son who is hosting it. If it’s someone who is a friend of a friend, try to get together a group of people to all go to-gether. Never go into a party full of absolute strangers.

When you’re walking to

said party, stay with your friends, especially late at night. Drunken males and females have been known to heckle stragglers. If some-one does call out to you, ig-nore them and keep going.

While at this wild and crazy party, keep in contact with someone you know. If they walk off to mingle, make sure you coordinate a time and place to meet back up. And always, always watch your drink. Whether you brought it yourself or you got a cup at the house, don’t set it down and don’t hold it away from your body. If you suspect at all some-one has touched your drink, pour it out. Even if there is most of the drink left, it’s not worth the risk.

If house parties aren’t your thing and you’re more into the bar scene, you still need to be conscious of your surroundings. During the week, the bars in Morgan-town normally quiet down but at the end of the week, they get packed to the walls.

First rule of thumb: if

someone, male or female, offers to buy you a drink, walk with them to receive it. Never accept anything someone hands to you. And if possible, watch the drink as it’s being made, especially if something is being mixed under the counter. Never be afraid to ask to have a drink remade if you suspect some-thing was slipped into it – within reason, of course.

It’s no secret that drugs are fairly rampant in Mor-gantown, despite the best efforts of the police depart-ment. Be mindful of what’s going on at parties and even in bar bathrooms. If you suspect someone is tak-ing drugs, remove yourself from the situation. If that’s unavoidable, just remem-ber: never, ever accept drugs from anyone you don’t fully trust.

College is a stressful time and going to parties or out to bars is a great way to re-lieve stress. Just be safe and responsible.

red solo cup: watch who fills it up

GULFNEWS.COMStudents should be mindful of where they leave their drinks.

I made the mistake of logging onto Facebook the night after the VMAs to find that most of my friends were talking about the recent Miley Cyrus controversy.

And, if they weren’t sharing their thoughts on Miley’s on-stage gyrating, they were being cynical and complaining that our nation was focusing more on what a young pop star did with her tongue than on the civil war currently going on in Syria.

The discrepancy be-tween the two “break-

ing news” stories actually says a lot about our coun-try. While as scandalous as those pigtail buns were, there are more important events occurring a world over that we as Americans cannot seem to take the same interest in.

Instead of bemoaning where our world is headed like many of my irritated friends on Facebook, I think there’s something to be said for the relevancy we as a nation feel toward something that happens on our own turf than an is-sue across the world – even something as devastating as the war currently raging through Syria.

Truth be told, there is a lightheartedness, a cer-

tain small-town gossip mill that churns to life when we compare the bot-tom of an apple to Miley’s own rear or talk about Will Smith’s family’s reaction to the whole ordeal than when we have to sit down and prepare ourselves for a serious conversation about the problems rip-ping countries apart.

The Miley issue – if it can even be called that – is something much more understandable than the complexities surrounding Syria, and thus it is what we choose to talk about on Facebook.

Yes, the problems Syria and associated countries now face are certainly dev-astating. But there is a feel-

ing permeating the nation that we cannot do any-thing about it.

Meanwhile, we can bash so-and-so for wearing something weird on the red carpet or shoot down a particularly awful musical performance all we want.

There is a shallowness to this preoccupation, cer-tainly, but it is preferable compared to the mon-strosities that are happen-ing across the pond.

I don’t blame those who choose to focus their inter-ests away from the scope of a country that, honestly, I couldn’t locate on a map.

That does not mean that what happens in Syria, or anywhere else, is by any means unimportant,

it just means that some people choose not to con-cern themselves with it, and that is not something we should hold against them.

There are those who are inclined to become riled up and impassioned about the monstrosities occurring in other coun-tries, and there are those who concern themselves more with simpler, home-town issues.

Both deserve our atten-tion, and no one should feel the need to put down anyone else for their con-cern for either subject.

Instead, let’s let bygones be bygones; there’s no need for the hate permeat-ing my Facebook feed right

now like some strange In-ternet gang war between team VMA and team Syria. This is not a competition to see which issue is most important, because in a weird way they both are.

While we’re too busy caring about what every-one else is caring about, and debating on what we should all be debating about, Syria is still in up-roar and Miley is still a hot mess.

Focus not on what your peers are interested in but on what you can do to help whatever issue you’re cur-rently concerned about – even if it’s something you saw on MTV.

A time and place for every meaningful controversy

AP

Washington — Despite 75 years of federal mar-ijuana prohibition, the Justice Department said Thursday that states can let people use the drug, license people to grow it and even allow adults to stroll into stores and buy it – as long as the weed is kept away from kids, the black market and federal property.

In a sweeping new pol-icy statement prompted by pot legalization votes in Washington and Colo-rado last fall, the depart-ment gave the green light to states to adopt tight regulatory schemes to oversee the medical and recreational marijuana in-dustries burgeoning across the country.

The action, welcomed by supporters of legaliza-tion, could set the stage for more states to legalize marijuana. Alaska is sched-uled to vote on the ques-tion next year, and a few other states plan similar votes in 2016.

The policy change em-braces what Justice De-partment officials called a “trust but verify” approach between the federal gov-ernment and states that en-act recreational drug use.

In a memo to all 94 U.S. attorneys’ offices around the country, Deputy At-torney General James Cole

said the federal govern-ment expects that states and local governments au-thorizing “marijuana-re-lated conduct” will imple-ment strong and effective regulatory and enforce-ment systems that address the threat those state laws could pose to public health and safety.

“If state enforcement ef-forts are not sufficiently robust ... the federal gov-ernment may seek to chal-lenge the regulatory struc-ture itself,” the memo stated. States must ensure “that they do not under-mine federal enforcement priorities,” it added.

The U.S. attorney in Col-orado, John Walsh, said he will continue to focus on whether Colorado’s sys-tem has the resources and tools necessary to protect key federal public safety interests.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said the state is working to improve ed-ucation and prevention efforts directed at young people and on enforce-ment tools to prevent ac-cess to marijuana by those under age 21. Colorado also is determined to keep marijuana businesses from being fronts for criminal enterprises or other illegal activity, he said, and the state is committed to pre-venting the export of mari-

juana while also enhancing efforts to keep state roads safe from impaired drivers.

Washington Gov. Jay In-slee also laid out guide-lines for marijuana entrepreneurs.

“If you don’t sell this product to children, if you keep violent crime away from your business, if you pay your taxes and you don’t use this as a front for illicit activity, we’re go-ing to be able to move for-ward,” Inslee said.

Under the new federal policy, the government’s top investigative priorities range from preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors to preventing sales revenue from going to criminal enterprises, gangs and cartels and preventing the diversion of marijuana outside of states where it is legal.

Other top-priority en-forcement areas include stopping state-authorized marijuana activity from be-ing used as a cover for traf-ficking other illegal drugs and preventing violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distri-bution of marijuana. The top areas also include pre-venting drugged driving, preventing marijuana cul-tivation and possession on federal property.

The Justice Department memo says it will take a

broad view of the federal priorities. For example, in preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors, en-forcement could take place when marijuana trafficking takes place near an area as-sociated with minors, or when marijuana is mar-keted in an appealing man-ner to minors or diverted to minors.

Following the votes in Colorado and Washington last year, Attorney Gen-eral Eric Holder launched a review of marijuana en-forcement policy that in-cluded an examination of the two states. The issue was whether they should be blocked from operating marijuana markets on the grounds that actively regu-lating an illegal substance conflicts with federal drug law that bans it.

Peter Bensinger, a for-mer head of the Drug En-forcement Administration, said the conflict between federal and state law is clear and can’t be recon-ciled. Federal law is para-mount, and Holder is “not only abandoning the law, he’s breaking the law. He’s not only shirking his duty, he’s not living up to his oath of office,” Bensinger said.

Last December, Presi-dent Barack Obama said it doesn’t make sense for the federal government to go

after recreational drug us-ers in a state that has legal-ized marijuana. Last week, the White House said that prosecution of drug traf-fickers remains an impor-tant priority.

A Pew Research Center poll in March found that 60 percent of Americans think the federal government shouldn’t enforce fed-eral anti-marijuana laws in states where its use has been approved. Younger people, who tend to vote more Democratic, are es-pecially prone to that view. But opponents are worried these moves will lead to more use by young people. Colorado and Washington were states that helped re-elect Obama.

Advocates of medi-cal marijuana were cau-tious about the new pol-icy. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws that effec-tively allow patients to ac-cess and use medical mar-ijuana. Threats of criminal prosecution and asset for-feiture by U.S. attorneys have closed more than 600 dispensaries in California, Colorado and Washington over the past two years, said Americans for Safe Access, which advocates for safe and legal access to therapeutic cannabis.

Dan Riffle of the Mari-juana Policy Project, the

nation’s largest marijuana policy organization, called the policy change “a major and historic step toward ending marijuana prohi-bition” and “a clear signal that states are free to deter-mine their own policies.”

Kevin Sabet, the direc-tor of Project Smart Ap-proaches to Marijuana, an anti-legalization group, predicted the new Justice Department policy will ac-celerate a national discus-sion about legalization be-cause people will see its harms – including more drugged driving and higher high school dropout rates.

Kristi Kelly, a co-founder of three medical marijuana shops near Denver, said the Justice Department’s action is a step in the right direction.

“We’ve been operating in a gray area for a long time. We’re looking for some sort of concrete as-surances that this industry is viable,” she said.

A national trade group, the National Cannabis In-dustry Association, said it hopes steps will be taken to allow marijuana establish-ments access to banking services. Federally insured banks are barred from tak-ing money from marijuana businesses because the drug is still banned by the federal government.

PHOTO OF THE DAY

HOROSCOPEBY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year you will see a big difference in what occurs be-tween you and others. You will make a new friend who will be more recep-tive to you. If you are single, meeting someone through this person’s circle of friends could prove to be signifi-cant to your life history. If you are at-tached, the two of you will realize a long-term dream that you both have wanted. You are in a year when you wish upon a star, and more often than not, it will come true! CANCER is a loyal friend.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Stay focused. Keep the lines of communication open, but choose to discuss only what’s nec-essary. Your mood, as well as others’, will be changing rapidly in the near

future. Once one individual opens up, others will follow suit. Tonight: Go with the flow.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Though you might be out of sorts at first, know that what you’re looking for is readily accessible. Open up talks with a loved one. You might be sur-prised by what you hear, given that you might not be around your family as much as you might like. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Curb a need to be possessive, and simply trust what is going on. Be willing to express your thoughts and find out where a friend is com-ing from. You might discover that you are spending too much money. Still, use your judgment. Tonight: It is OK if someone else wants to treat.

C ANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You might want to relax and let go, but a surprise visit from a superior or friend will set the pace of your day. In fact, you might not re-alize how essential you are to others right now. People feel as if they need you. Be gracious. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend well.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Un-derstand that you can’t control is-sues or people. You can control only yourself and your responses. Oth-ers can choose to do whatever they want. By withdrawing and allowing others to make their own choices, in time, there will be a better rapport. Tonight: Follow suggestions.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH With as many people as there are seeking you out, it will be almost un-believable that you are choosing to

work on a project instead of social-izing. Mixing the two is fine if you complete what you must. Someone around you could be quite serious. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Others turn to you for advice. You might not be in a position to help a particular person, but you can point him or her to a different source for feedback. This person will feel em-powered. You might have helped him or her by honoring your limitations. Tonight: Leader of the gang.

SCORPIO (OC T. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You have the gift of see-ing more in interactions and dis-cussions than others see. You un-derstand that each action creates a response. Realize that you can’t pull this person away from his or her choices of the past. Tonight: Put on

some great music to escape from the here and now.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Others will make an effort to influence an important matter in-volving your finances. Honor what is going on, as it only can benefit you. If you keep feeling doubtful, know that it comes from within yourself and not from the other parties involved. To-night: Dinner with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Listen to news that is forth-coming, and be aware that everyone has a different perspective. An impor-tant offer or request might be woven into a conversation. Understand that what you see evolving could offer a positive outcome. Tonight: Be around those you most enjoy.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)

HHHH Honor who you are throughout the day. Sometimes you might be so quick to give a knee-jerk reaction that others could be put off. Express your authenticity more of-ten, and resist getting tied up in an intense, fast pace when possible. To-night: Spend some time with friends.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might want to see a personal matter in a different light, and you will ... once you stop reacting. Oth-ers could offer different perspectives that might prove helpful. Many more doors will open as a result, and you will be happier. Tonight: Be creative when coming up with plans.

Cosby Sweater and Cupcake and the Professor get 123 grooving

Mick Posey/THe DAiLy ATHeNAeUMCosby Sweater plays at 123 Wednesday night for an energetic crowd.

BY JOSH EWERSA&E WRITER

Wednesday night at 123 Pleasant Street, people came out not to rock but to partake in some seriously catchy electronic dance music. The two acts shar-ing the stage were Cup-cake and the Professor and Cosby Sweater.

Each brought their own unique twist on the varied pallet of dance music.

After a bit of a late start, Cupcake and the Profes-sor, a duo from West Vir-ginia, played a minimalist yet satisfying set of drawn back electronic tunes. With only a DJ and a vocalist, the setup was minimalist, as well.

“The Professor” laid down tracks filled with bass rattling goodness and some reggae-like rhythmic hits, though he also occa-sionally picked up his bass; however, he was most im-pressive while showing off his insane beatboxing skills.

Ezra “Cupcake,” the vo-calist, worked the crowd fairly well, often going back and forth almost in conver-sation with the audience. He sang mid-range melo-dies steeped in the echo ef-fect that is often utilized for reggae vocals.

He did all this while wearing a brightly colored cupcake backpack that stayed on the whole night. With a pretty full house, they got the dancing going in full swing.

They certainly know how to work a 123 crowd. The two met at this fateful venue when Cupcake and the Professor was created at an open mic night.

“123 is our home,” Ezra said. “He (The Professor)

was just doing his own thing with beatboxing, and he was just asking if anyone was a singer in the house. I was real messed up, so I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll sing,’ and it just kind of took off from there.”

Next up on the bill was live electronic setup Cosby Sweater. Fresh off a big year in 2012 that saw them re-lease their first full-length album, “Hey Girl Hey,” and play with international act Pretty Lights, the Indianap-olis group consists of a sax-ophonist, a drummer and a DJ/vocalist. Together they deploy some dangerously infectious tracks.

Though they are very much the creators of their own sound, it’s safe to say that if you are a fan of Daft Punk it is very likely you would have enjoyed Cosby Sweater’s set.

This group’s strength is in their versatility. Their originals ranged from in-credibly high-energy tunes laced with twinkling synth sounds that pulsed forward with as much dance-ability as any popular electronic artist out there, to more groove conscious tracks that showcase the talent of saxophonist Nicolas Ger-lach as he riffed over the chill layers of sound.

Their songs seemed more ambitious than most electronic acts, taking the listener somewhere spe-cific rather than constantly looping what they like. It shows a penchant for song writing that many don’t of-ten recognize in this type of music.

Thanks to this, Cosby Sweater kept the dance party going well into the night.

GameStop expo held in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — In-side the massive complex on the Las Vegas Strip that houses the glitzy Ve-netian casino and Sands convention center, amid a soundscape of conflict-ing noises, thousands of players are mashing but-tons while staring intently at flickering screens.

They’re not playing slots or video poker. No, they’re trying their hand at upcoming games such as “Titanfall” and “Ryse.”

This is the GameStop Expo. The world’s larg-est video game retailer first organized the gather-ing of its most passionate customers last year dur-ing its annual meeting of store managers. While the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles is no longer open to the public, the GameStop Expo offers everyday gamers a chance to preview upcoming titles and hardware.

The expo’s more than 5,000 attendees waited in snaking lines inside a cav-ernous Sands Expo hall early Wednesday to test-drive Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlaySta-tion 4, the next-genera-tion systems due out this November. “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” “Titanfall,” “Ryse: Son of Rome” and “Battle-field 4” were among the most popular games on display.

“I’m here to see and play all the next-gen con-soles and games for my-self,” said Shawn Smoak, a 22-year-old self-professed “Sony fanboy,” while wait-ing to try out “Titanfall.” “You can read everything you possibly can about them online, but until you actually get your hands on the controller, you don’t really know any-thing. That’s what this is all about.”

Along with providing glimpses of such upcom-ing games as “Batman: Arkham Origins” and “As-sassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag,” the expo also in-cluded panels, giveaways,

photo booths, costume contests and free choco-late ice cream dispensed from a truck promoting the “South Park: The Stick of Truth” game.

The event was just part of GameStop’s purpose in Vegas.

Beyond the expo hall in meeting rooms at the Ve-netian casino and Sands convention center, more than 5,000 managers from company’s nearly 4,500 stores in the U.S. spent three days learn-ing all about how to sell new games and hardware to customers like those at its expo. The retailer cur-rently boasts about 25 mil-lion members in its Pow-erUp Rewards program.

GameStop launched the gamer gathering last year after the Grapevine, Texas-based company’s international divisions successfully hosted their own events. (Last year’s EB Games Expo in Austra-lia welcomed more than 30,000 attendees.) Ad-mission for Wednesday’s event ranged from $20 for student tickets to $100 for VIP access that included early entry.

“We didn’t want to be in the live events business,” said GameStop CEO Paul Raines. “This was some-thing that was pulled out of us. The customers wanted it. The PowerUp Rewards community was asking for us to give them an oppor-tunity to see new products and games. People love it because this is the only place where they can play `Titanfall’ right now.”

Raines declined to re-lease pre-order sales data, but he expects this holiday season’s console launches to be the biggest in his-tory and provide some much-needed luck to both GameStop and the gaming industry, which has seen sales slide in recent years as Microsoft Corp.’s 7-year-old Xbox 360 and Sony Corp.’s 6-year-old PlaySta-tion 3 have entered their twilight years.

FILE PHOTOHead coach Dana Holgorsen and cornerback Ishmael Banks won’t be holding anything back against William & Mary Saturday.

by connor murrayassociate sports editor

It’s that time of year again. Since the college football season officially kicked off Thursday night, the time for preseason hype and conjecture is over.

When kickoff time rolls around for West Virginia and William & Mary, it will officially be time to move on from 2012 and focus on the task at hand: improving on what was a disappoint-ing season for both teams.

West Virginia will take the field Saturday with a completely new identity. On offense, junior Paul Millard and redshirt ju-

nior Clint Trickett were so evenly matched in fall camp that they will split the snaps at quarterback for the time being.

For one of these signal callers to step up and take full control of the job, min-imizing turnovers and mak-ing good decisions will be paramount.

“The guy that we’re go-ing to give the most reps to is going to take care of the ball and make good deci-sions about handoffs, in-terceptions and all of that,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“They have to take care of the ball and minimize the negative situations, such as

turnovers and giveaways.” While splitting time be-

tween two or even three quarterbacks, redshirt freshman Ford Childress may be called upon this season, as well. While it may not seem like an ideal situation, it is the hand the Mountaineers were dealt.

“We don’t live in a per-fect world. Would I rather have a three-year starter returning at quarterback? Yeah,” Holgorsen said.

“It’s college football, and graduations (happen). That opens the door for the next star to be born. You lose a couple tremendous guys, but that opens up the door for some other guys to get

some snaps in and make some tremendous plays, too.”

Although William & Mary, an FCS team who fin-ished 2-9 in 2012, may seem to present an opportunity for a cakewalk in Week 1, the Tribe has several play-makers on offense who could present problems for WVU.

“They like to run the ball a lot. They have some good wide receivers on the out-side. They also have a lot of discipline,” said redshirt junior cornerback Ishmael Banks.

One receiver in particu-lar, junior Tre McBride has the Mountaineers’ defense

on alert. McBride caught 55 passes for 897 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2012.

“He is very athletic. He runs routes very well, and he is pretty physical too. It’s going to be a good matchup,” Banks said.

After eight months of waiting, the Mountain-eers get to suit up against a live opponent, rather than running through drills or watching film.

“We’re tired of practicing against each other. We’re tired of doing offense and defense against each other,” Holgorsen said.

“It’s time to focus on somebody else, regard-less of who that is, and we

should be excited to play.”With a big test looming

Sept. 7 when the Moun-taineers travel to Norman to take on Oklahoma, there could be the temptation for West Virginia to take its foot off the gas and take William & Mary lightly.

“I’m for whatever we have to do to move the ball forward. We’re doing what-ever we’ve got to do to stop the opposing team from moving the ball,” Holgorsen said.

“If that means putting your best foot forward, then I highly recommend put-ting your best foot forward.”

Despite facing FCS opponent, Holgorsen and WVU will look to fire on all cylinders in Week 1

by amit batrasports editor

Earlier this week, the West Virginia University rifle team was given the No. 1 ranking in the Preseason College Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA) Top 20 Poll.

The Mountaineers, the de-fending national champi-ons, claimed 12 of the poll’s 16 first-place votes. Follow-ing the program’s 15th na-tional championship and a No. 1 ranking to end the sea-son, the preseason ranking came as no surprise to West Virginia.

Eighth year head coach Jon Hammond was pleased to see the preseason recognition following another successful campaign in 2012.

“It’s nice to have this recog-nition going into a new sea-son,” Hammond said, follow-ing the release of the poll. “We lost a world-class shooter in (graduate) Petra (Zublasing), but we still have a great core that returns this year, and we

will field a team that has a lot of experience.”

Zublasing’s skill and abil-ity will certainly be missed by Hammond and staff, but he will have a lot of talent return-ing. Five shooters with experi-ence competing for a national championship will return for Hammond in juniors Taylor Ciotola, Meelis Kiisk, Thomas Kyanko, Maren Prediger and sophomore Garrett Spurgeon.

All five shooters earned recognition by the National Rifle Association (NRA) a sea-

son ago for their efforts. Each of them earned All-American honors in 2012, and all but Kyanko earned a first-team recognition.

Other Mountaineers set to return are NRA All-America award winners Chance Cover (senior), Patrick Sunderman (sophomore) and senior Dan-iel Sojka.

West Virginia went 11-1 on its way to another national championship and Great American Rifle Conference ti-tle. As a team, records were set

in smallbore and air rifle and also as a team in the NCAA championships last season.

Hammond, while appre-ciative of the top ranking, said he understands that a new season offers many chal-lenges, so the team will have to work hard collectively.

“While we appreciate this recognition from our peers, this team must be conscious of the fact that this is a new season, and we’re going to have to work hard to main-tain that ranking and to im-

prove as a team,” he said. “I like starting the season at No. 1, but we’re prepared to work hard, too.”

Kentucky, the national run-ner-up last season, comes in at No. 2 in the poll, while Alaska-Fairbanks, 2012 Na-

tional Champion TCU and Army round out the top 5.

Nebraska, Air Force, Jack-sonville State, Murray State and Ohio State finish out the top 10.

WVU will exceed

expectations this year

When West Virginia takes the field Saturday against William & Mary, many be-lieve that the game will pro-vide WVU with one of its few wins of 2013. Picked to fin-ish No. 8 in the preseason Big 12 media poll, West Vir-ginia is supposed to take a step back after failing to live up to higher expectations in 2012.

Unlike most, I believe this team takes a step forward in year two of playing in the Big 12 Conference. There are internal and external rea-sons why WVU can exceed expectations.

Throughout fall camp, no appearance of complacency was evident. Position battles and competition bettered the roster as a whole. Players had reasons to practice hard and better themselves which strengthened the team.

Depth at running back only makes head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense better. If Holgorsen has a fluid run game this season, it will make a massive dif-ference. In 2012, for games in which WVU had multiple backs rush for more than 50 yards, it was 3-0. Forgames in which it had one or no running backs rush for more than 50 yards, West Virginia was 4-6.

This year WVU main-tains a backfield that will al-low for the team to see mul-tiple 50-plus yard rushers week in and week out. Trans-fer Charles Sims and fresh-man Wendell Smallwood are two runners who can carry the load, and in turn, make Dreamius Smith and Dustin Garrison more efficient with limited touches.

All of a sudden, opposing defenses have to respect the run game, something that clearly wasn’t respected in the 2012 season until Hol-gorsen put Tavon Austin in the backfield.

With a good run game, Holgorsen’s first-year start-ing quarterback in either Clint Trickett or Paul Mil-lard will have an opened-up passing game sure to high-light the skills of receivers Ivan McCartney, Daikiel Shorts and KJ Myers.

Having a run game also keeps the ball out of oppos-ing offenses’ hands which is huge for a defense that fin-ished last or near last in ev-ery major statistical category.

Defensively, it can only get better, and first year de-fensive coordinator Keith Patterson has emphasized a multiple look, attacking defense. What that means is WVU will play more base defenses like the 3-4, 3-3-5 and 4-3 as opposed to doing more within one of those schemes. Simplistic con-cepts of sticking in a base defense increase the likeli-hood of players understand-ing what they have to do. By giving control of the defense to Patterson, WVU will get better.

The Big 12 Conference as a whole lost a lot from the 2012 season. It is still comprised of good teams, but a league without great ones. Because of that, it is realistic to think that West Virginia can play with the teams in the Big 12 despite the fact that the Mountaineers don’t have the star power they had last year.

Not many Big 12 programs hold the star power that they held last season. Gone is Collin Klein of Kansas State, Landry Jones of Oklahoma, and Nick Florence of Baylor. Who’s to say that WVU’s new talent can’t compete with Oklahoma’s new talent or Texas’s talent?

I’m on the side that leans more toward believing West Virginia can compete.

As for my prediction, WVU reaches the seven-win mark with victories against Wil-liam & Mary, Georgia State, Maryland, Texas Tech, Kan-sas State, Kansas and Iowa State. It could even get to eight wins by stealing away a victory from either a sleep-ing Oklahoma in Week 2 or a Texas team at the end of the year looking ahead toward a national title run.

Cross country to open season Saturdayby jon fEhREnS

spORTs wRITER

Recently, the West Vir-ginia University cross country team was slated to finish No. 5 in the Mid-At-lantic region by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Head coach Sean Cleary agreed with the prediction, as he said it was an accurate reflec-tion of his team. Tuesday, the USTFCCCA gave West

Virginia the No. 29 spot in the 2013 Preseason Na-tional Coaches poll. This is the sixth consecutive year the team has held a top 30-spot in the preseason poll.

“Preseason rankings are difficult to gauge. There are so many unknown fac-tors associated with early season predictions. Time will tell how accurate they prove to be,” Cleary said.

With the rankings be-hind them, Cleary and his team shift focus to

the first action of the sea-son in Bethlehem, Pa., for the annual Lehigh Invi-tational. While the first competition of the sea-son is always exciting for the team,Saturday means a little more to two-time All-American junior Kait-lyn Gillespie, who sees her first action in more than18 months.

“Racing will be interest-ing for me this year since I have not competed in over a year and a half. It will be

a little nerve-racking, but I like to go out there, get comfortable and race. I love it.” Gillespie said.

This weekend will not only mark the return of Gil-lespie, but it will be the first time Cleary gets to catch a glimpse of the future of his team. Cleary also said with his 10 new freshmen on the roster this year, they are one of the best teams in the country, top to bottom.

With that said, he said he expects the new faces to be

able to make an impact this weekend. Look for sopho-more Kelly Williams to be one of the young leaders that makes the jump and leads behind Gillespie in Bethlehem.

Saturday officially kicks off the 2013 season for the WVU cross country team, and their next competition is set for Sept. 13 at Penn State for the PSU Spiked Shoe Invitational.

nfL commits $765 million to settle concussion lawsuits

APFormer Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett and a group of NFL players won a class action lawsuit against the league for concussion related brain injuries that resulted from on field injuries.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The NFL agreed to pay more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who de-veloped dementia or other concussion-related brain disorders they say were caused by the very on-field violence that fueled the game’s rise to popular-ity and profit.

The class-action settle-ment, unprecedented in sports, was announced Thursday after two months of court-ordered media-tion and is subject to ap-proval by a federal judge. It came exactly a week be-fore the first game of the 2013 season, removing a major legal and financial threat hanging over the

sport.U.S. District Judge Anita

B. Brody in Philadelphia is expected to rule on the settlement in two to three months but said it “holds the prospect of avoiding lengthy, expensive and uncertain litigation, and of enhancing the game of football.”

More than 4,500 for-mer players, some of them suffering from de-pression or dementia, ac-cused the NFL of conceal-ing the long-term dangers of concussions and rush-ing injured players back onto the field, while glo-rifying and profiting from the bone-crushing hits that were often glorified in slow motion on NFL Films.

“Football has been my

life and football has been kind to me,” said former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett, one of at least 10 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who filed suit since 2011. “But when I signed up for this, I didn’t know some of the repercussions. I did know I could get injured, but I didn’t know about my head or the trauma or the things that could hap-pen to me later on in life.”

The settlement applies to all 18,000 past NFL players and spouses of those who are deceased – a group that could total more than 20,000 – and will cost the league $765 million, the vast major-ity of which would go to compensate athletes with

certain neurological ail-ments, plus plaintiffs’ at-torney fees. It sets aside $75 million for medical exams and $10 million for medical research.

Individual payouts would be capped at $5 million for men with Al-zheimer’s disease; $4 mil-lion for those diagnosed after their deaths with a brain condition called chronic traumatic enceph-alopathy; and $3 million for players with dementia, said lead plaintiffs’ lawyer Christopher Seeger.

The settlement does not include an admission from the NFL that it hid information from players about head injuries. Com-missioner Roger Goodell told pro football’s law-

yers to “do the right thing for the game and the men who played it,” accord-ing to a statement by the league.

Goodell was not made available for comment.

The NFL has annual rev-enue of about $9 billion.

In addition to Dorsett, the plaintiffs include Su-per Bowl-winning quar-terback Jim McMahon, who suffers from demen-tia; former running back Kevin Turner, who has amyotrophic lateral scle-rosis, or Lou Gehrig’s dis-ease; and the family of All-Pro selection Junior Seau, who committed suicide last year.

Turner, who played for the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, predicted that most of his peers would support the settlement.

“Chances are ... I won’t make it to 50 or 60,” said Turner, now 44. “I have money now to put back for my children to go to college and for a lit-tle something to be there financially.”

All former NFL play-ers are eligible to seek care, screening or com-pensation, whether they suffered a documented concussion or not. The amounts they receive will be based on their age, condition and years of play. They do not need to prove that their health problems are connected to playing football.

Players’ lawyers said they expect the fund to cover the ex-athletes’ expenses up to age 65. Current players are not covered.

If the settlement holds, the NFL won’t have to disclose internal files that might reveal what it knew, and when, about concussion-linked brain problems.

“I think it’s more impor-tant that the players have finality, that they’re vin-dicated, and that as soon as the court approves the settlement they can be-gin to get screening, and those that are injured can get their compensation. I think that’s more impor-tant than looking at some documents,” said lawyer Sol Weiss of Philadelphia, who filed the first law-suit on behalf of former Atlanta Falcon Ray East-erling and a few others. Easterling later commit-ted suicide.

Sports law experts had thought the lawsuits might cost the league $1 billion or more if they

went to trial. The NFL had pushed for the claims to be heard in arbitration under terms of the play-ers’ labor contract.

The league had also argued that individual teams bear the chief re-sponsibility for health and safety under the col-lective bargaining agree-ment, along with the play-ers’ union and the players themselves.

Dorsett said each day is getting harder for him, as he struggles with memory problems.

“It’s frustrating. Frus-trating. And to have a 10-year old daughter who says to her mother, ‘Daddy can’t do this be-cause Daddy won’t re-member how to do it,’ it’s not a good feeling,” he said. “I’m glad to see there’s been ... acknowl-edgment that football has had something to do with a lot of the issues us players are going through right now.”

In recent years, a string of former NFL players and other athletes who suffered concussions have been diagnosed af-ter their deaths with CTE, including both Seau and Easterling.

While some of those who sued suffered brain ailments, others were

worried about future problems and wanted their health monitored.

“I’m relieved; I don’t know about pleased. There are probably too many de-tails to work through that we don’t all understand yet, quite frankly. But I’m relieved that both sides came together to protect the game we all love and help the players of the past and tomorrow. And to es-pecially help those who need help right now, who have cognitive issues and those whose quality of life has been taken away,” said Mark Rypien, the MVP of the 1992 Super Bowl for the Washington Redskins.

He has dealt with de-pression and memory problems.

“It’s a good day, be-cause we’re getting help for those who need help,” Rypien said, “and a sad day, because we didn’t get this done earlier to help guys in the past.”

Researchers at the Bos-ton University Center for the Study of Traumatic En-cephalopathy, who have been examining brains of deceased NFL players, praised the $10 million set aside for research.

The lawsuits, along with a growing awareness that concussions can have se-rious long-term effects, have already spurred re-search into better helmets and changed the way the game is played.

Helmet maker Riddell,

which was also sued, was not a party to the settle-ment. The company de-clined comment.

The NFL has also in-stituted rule changes de-signed to eliminate hits to the head and neck, pro-tect defenseless players, and prevent athletes who have had concussions from playing or practicing until they are fully recov-ered. Independent neurol-ogists must be consulted before a player can return to action.

One key rule change that takes effect this sea-son bars ball carriers from using the crown of the hel-met to make contact with defenders.

“We thought it was crit-ical to get more help to players and families who deserve it rather than spend many years and millions of dollars on lit-igation,” NFL Executive Vice President Jeffrey Pash Executive Vice President Jeffrey Pash said in a state-ment, the only comment issued by the league. “This is an important step that builds on the significant changes we’ve made in recent years to make the game safer.”

CHICAGO (AP) — With Landon Donovan back in the fold, the U.S. resumes World Cup qualifying next week with its deepest team yet.

Donovan was among 23 players selected Thurs-day by coach Jurgen Klins-mann for upcoming qual-ifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico. Klinsmann snubbed the Americans’ career scoring leader for the last round of qualifiers, saying Donovan needed to work his way back onto the team following his offsea-son sabbatical.

But Donovan redeemed himself – and then some – with his play in last month’s Gold Cup, scoring five goals as the Americans won the title. He has continued his dazzling play with four goals in three games for the Los Angeles Galaxy, which on Wednesday rewarded him with a new, long-term contract.

“He got himself back into the team during the Gold Cup,’’ Klinsmann said. “He did a wonderful job there.’’

While it’s hard to imag-ine a starting lineup with-out Donovan when the Americans resume quali-fying at Costa Rica on Sept. 6, Klinsmann now has mul-tiple options at almost ev-ery position. He used two almost completely different rosters for the last round of qualifiers and the Gold Cup, and the Americans re-sponded with a record 12 straight wins.

It is the longest streak in the world currently, and three shy of the record set by Spain in 2009.

The winning streak,

and the depth behind it, has given the Americans a swagger normally reserved for European and South American teams.

“We have a lot of respect for Costa Rica. (We) can ex-pect a really very, very in-tense game, high-energy game,’’ Klinsmann said. “But I think we have the quality and the mindset to be confident enough to say, ‘We’re going to go there for three points.”

“This is what we’re try-ing to build,’’ Klinsmann added. “More and more, this belief is getting bigger. It’s growing throughout the entire group. We’ve got a deeper roster now than ever before. Hopefully, we can take that mindset down to San Jose and win there for first time ever in World Cup qualifying.’’

In addition to Dono-van, Klinsmann selected 11 players who were part of the Gold Cup winning squad: DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman, Alejan-dro Bedoya, Matt Besler, Edgar Castillo, Mix Dis-kerud, Omar Gonzalez, Ed-die Johnson, Michael Oro-zco and Nick Rimando. He passed over Joe Corona and Sacha Kljestan, who were part of the squad for a come-from-behind victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina earlier this month.

“It was not easy to make those decisions,’’ Klins-mann said.

After playing at Costa Rica, the Americans re-turn home to face archri-val Mexico on Sept. 10 in Columbus, Ohio. The U.S. is atop the qualifying group from North and Central

America and the Caribbean region, leading Costa Rica by two points with Mexico five points back.

The top three teams ad-vance to next year’s World Cup in Brazil, with the fourth-place team going to a playoff with New Zealand, the Oceania winner.

“If we’re able to get three points in San Jose next Fri-day, we’re almost there. We’re almost in Brazil,’’ Klinsmann said. ‘’I don’t want players to think, even for one second, about Mex-ico in Columbus. I want them to tune in to Costa Rica and give everything they have.’’

The roster:Goalkeepers: Brad Gu-

zan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake);

Defenders: DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City) John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Cas-tillo (Club Tijuana), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Michael Orozco (Puebla);

Midfielders: Kyle Becker-man (Real Salt Lake), Ale-jandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Roma), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Fabian Johnson (Hoffen-heim), Jermaine Jones (Schalke), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City);

Forwards: Jozy Alti-dore (Sunderland), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sound-ers FC), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Aron Johanns-son (AZ Alkmaar), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sound-ers FC).

Mets’ Wright ramps up rehab in Fla.

APAfter sustaining a hamstring injury, Mets third baseman David Wright is heading to Florida for the next step in his rehab.

NEW YORK (AP) — Four weeks after straining his right hamstring, David Wright is ready for the next step in his recovery.

The All-Star third base-man was headed to the New York Mets’ complex in Florida Thursday, a day before the team begins a nine-game road trip. He said he feels fine swing-ing and fielding, but he’s not running full speed and isn’t ready for rehab games.

Mets manager Terry Collins had said Wright might play in a minor league game this weekend.

“ Ho p e f u l l y s o o n ,” Wright said. “I think I’m ahead of schedule.’’

After playing through nagging soreness in his hamstring for about a week, Wright was injured Aug. 2 while legging out an infield single. He said the medical staff has told him it’s a six-week injury, which would put him on track to return in mid-September.

The Mets’ captain is de-termined to come back before the season ends because he doesn’t want to go into next year with any uncertainty about his health. But he wants to make sure he rehabs properly and heals com-pletely so his hamstring doesn’t become a chronic problem.

“I want to finish the season strong,’’ Wright said. “All signs are good. I haven’t had a single set-back yet.’’

A seven-time All-Star, Wright is hitting .309 with 16 home runs and 54 RBIs. While the team was home,

he worked with the Mets’ medical staff at Citi Field. Now, he’ll report to Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Philadelphia infielder Michael Young cautioned Wright this week against rushing back from a strained hamstring. Young said he did just that and got reinjured during the 2009 pennant race with Texas, costing him two more weeks.

Wright said he appreci-ated the gesture.

“Basically the cardinal rule I told him was – and this was told to me by other guys who had hamstring injuries – the second you think you’re ready to play, wait three more days,’’ Young said. “That way you know you’re ready.’’

It’s been a difficult month for Wright and the rebuilding Mets, who are 11-14 since his injury.

All-Star ace Matt Har-vey was diagnosed with a partially torn elbow liga-ment Monday and hopes to avoid Tommy John sur-gery. One day later, New York traded two of its top run producers (Mar-lon Byrd and John Buck) to Pittsburgh for a pair of prospects.

“I think that the Matt Harvey situation obviously kind of blindsided every-body, as well as he’s been throwing the ball,’’ Wright said. “But I’ve done my re-hab with him the last cou-ple days and he’s in good spirits.’’

The 24-year-old Harvey has blossomed into one of baseball’s most dominant pitchers during his first full season in the majors. But

his injury jeopardizes New York’s aspirations of con-tending for a playoff spot next season.

Tommy John surgery would likely sideline Har-vey for all of 2014, though the right-hander tweeted Tuesday that he’ll be back on the mound next April. He was heartened after talking to other pitchers who had similar symptoms or injuries and didn’t re-quire surgery, including Philadelphia right-hander Roy Halladay.

The Mets said no de-cision will be made until Harvey is re-examined in a few weeks after the swell-ing subsides.

“Hopefully, he can just rehab it. But if surgery is the option, then we’ve got to find a way,’’ Wright said.

One reason Wright signed a $138 million, eight-year contract last winter was his faith in gen-eral manager Sandy Al-derson and all the young power pitching the Mets have on the horizon.

However, Harvey is a huge cornerstone.

“I don’t think one injury that may or may not affect next year is going to affect the overall plan,’’ said the 30-year-old Wright. “With the money that we have coming off the books this year, I expect us to go out there and make this team better, whether it’s through free agency, whether it’s through trades. I still be-lieve in the vision that Sandy has.

“Hopefully, Matt’s back next year. But if not, I’m still confident in the plan,’’ he added.

Millard brings gunslinger mentality to West Virginia offense as Mountaineers set to take on Tribeby greg madiamultimedia editor

West Virginia junior quarterback Paul Millard isn’t afraid to throw the football. During Millard’s senior year at Flower Mound High School in Texas, he completed 331 of 500 pass attempts. He threw for an astonishing 4,491 yards and 47 touch-downs in just 11 games as a senior.

WVU offensive coordi-nator Shannon Dawson played an important role in helping head coach Dana Ho l g o r s e n bring the Texas gun-slinger to M o r g a n -t ow n a s their first

marquee commitment from the state of Texas in 2011.

“(At) the high school I came from we threw it like 75 times a game,” Millard said. “When I was talking to Shannon (Daw-son) while he was recruit-ing me, he told me he threw the ball 88 times in a game.”

Millard committed and enrolled at WVU with the idea that he would throw the ball all over Moun-taineer Field and take over once Geno Smith

moved on to the NFL.

“I came here to play foot-ball; I didn’t want to come t o s c h o o l here and not play. I’m a competit ive guy; I signed up here to play foot-

b a l l .

I came here wanting to play,” Millard said.

In 2012 against Okla-homa State, Millard was rushed into the game on an important fourth-and- 13 situation after Smith’s helmet popped off. Millard then threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Stedman Bai-ley through a tight win-dow of defenders to keep West Virginia in the game – a shining moment for Millard.

The problem for Mil-lard is he hasn’t proven to the coaches or to any-one that he can craft his almost-reckless gun-slinger mentality into an effective Big 12 gun-slinger passer. He has been inconsistent through his small sample of play-ing time, throw-ing three inter-ceptions and

three touchdowns. But that was Paul Mil-

lard as a backup. Satur-day, Millard will play in a platoon role with Clint Trickett as Holgorsen fig-ures out who his starter will be down the road. For someone who plays the game fearlessly, Millard knows he has to make the correct decision against William & Mary to get another chance against Oklahoma Sept. 7.

“I think with me it was all about making the right decisions. Getting the ball where they want to see the ball go – that was one thing I came into

fal l camp w a n t i n g

to do,” M i l -l a r d s a i d . “ I ’v e done

a

better job of that as camp went on, and hopefully it continues.”

Maybe that’s where Millard’s fearless mental-ity of throwing the ball all over the field comes from. What will enable Millard to take over as the full-time quarterback is pro-tection of the football.

“The guy we’re even-tually going to give the most reps to is the guy that takes care of the ball,” Holgorsen said. “They have to take care of the ball, and they have to minimize the neg-a t i v e t h i n g s that are n e g -a t i v e p l a y s a n d

turnovers.”Millard knows that,

and even though he’s i m p rov e d h i s a r m strength and accuracy, it comes down to his decision- making.

“Being here for two years under Dana’s of-fense and really knowing what they expect of me, that’s something I’ve got-ten a better grasp of,” Mil-lard said.

When asked about his gunslinger mentality or persona, Millard had a simple reply.

“I think I still am a gunslinger, but I

don’t know, man, that’s for you guys to call,” he said.

WVU, Holgorsen expect challenge with upset-minded Tribeby doUg Walp

sports writer

The Mountaineers fi-nally kick off the 2013 season against William & Mary Saturday.

The Tribe finished 2-9 in 2012 in the Colonial Athletic Association, a conference of the FCS divi-sion, but William & Mary’s 2012 record or their status as an FCS team won’t have any effect on West Virgin-ia’s preparation for its sea-son opener.

“You can’t overlook them or anyone else in that conference,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “(In 2012) Wil-liam & Mary almost beat Maryland, and (in 2011) they beat the University of Virginia. It goes on and on.

“Do we want to be the next ones on that list? I don’t think so. We want to take these guys seriously. We should be excited to play – it doesn’t matter who we play. We’re tired of practicing against each other. It’s time to focus on somebody else, regard-

less of who that is, and we should be excited to play.”

The Mountaineers are 3-0 for the last three sea-sons against FCS level teams, with wins against Coastal Carolina, Nor-folk State and James Mad-ison. But despite beating the Dukes of James Mad-ison 42-12 at Fed Ex Field in Landover, Md., in 2012, some players have said that the Mountaineers ac-tually didn’t prepare as seriously as they should have for the less touted opponent.

“I’ll be honest, (2012) we probably took James Madison a little too lightly,” said junior line-backer Jared Barber. “I mean, obviously we came out with a win but we defi-nitely could have prepared better for them.

“But this year we know that it’s the first game, so really we’re taking this game as if we’re play-ing Oklahoma or Texas – I mean it’s the first game to set the tempo, set the tone in a season where not many people have any

high hopes for us. So we’re just taking this as showing people we’re here to play.”

West Virginia also finds itself in somewhat unfa-miliar territory, as it heads into its season opener for the first time in the Dana Holgorsen era without a true starting quarterback. Junior Paul Millard and recent transfer and red-shirt junior Clint Trickett are still only separated by an “OR” on the Mountain-eers latest depth chart, so the William & Mary game could act as a sort of ex-tended tryout for the two hopeful starters.

West Virginia also has a number of true freshmen who will be playing their first collegiate snaps Sat-urday against the Tribe.

Senior linebacker Doug Rigg, one of the most ex-perienced members on the Mountaineers in 2013, said the key to playing an FCS team like William & Mary is simply to prepare the same way, and perhaps even more importantly, to make sure underclassmen don’t overlook the Tribe

because they’re not as notorious as some of the mega programs the Moun-taineers will face later in Big 12 Conference play.

In fact, Rigg said this is one of the single biggest challenges of moving up to the collegiate level; play-ers simply can’t look past anybody, even if one of the most difficult matchups of the season awaits them in Week 2.

“Anything can happen in college football. That’s the biggest adjustment coming from high school,” Rigg said. “In high school you can play a team and you know no matter how bad you play, you’re going to win. And in this league, you can’t do that. You’ve got to come out ready to play every single game, and the coaches have done a good job stressing that and the seniors need to stress that, too.

“It can happen to any-body and we don’t want to be the school it hap-pens to.”

No. 20 TCU Rolling with Two QBs vs. No. 12 LSU

TCU head coach Gary Patterson will play both quarterbacks Trevone Boykin and Casey Pachall in the Horned Frogs’ mar-quee matchup against LSU Saturday night. Patterson said he believes playing Pachall, a pro-style quar-terback, and Boykin, a dual-threat thrower, will give TCU a better chance to win.

Patterson doesn’t need

to name one of them the starter because they both have proven talent.

“I think I can win with both of them in games. Trevone has really im-proved what he could do and has a different skill set. Casey’s really improved from the spring, where he was a bit rusty,” Pat-terson said. “So, the dif-ference between me and other coaches that have to select quarterbacks is that they’re trying to figure out who their start is when I know I have two guys that can win games.”

I n t h e m a rq u e e

matchup against LSU, TCU will try prove the Big 12 Conference can matchup with the SEC on the field by playing well.

“The only way I can tell where you’re at is just to play games on the field. Obviously last year Texas had an easy time with Ole Miss,” Patterson said. “This year we have three games in the first cou-ple of weeks, with Big 12 teams playing against SEC teams, and that’s probably the way you’ll see it.”

Gundy, No. 13 OK State Ready for Mississippi

StateOklahoma State enters

Saturday’s bout against Mississippi State with a re-cord of 8-1 against current members of the SEC under head coach Mike Gundy. He said he believes Satur-day provides a chance for Oklahoma State to show voters that the Big 12 can matchup with the SEC.

“I think there is; I don’t know to what degree. I think there are three games where the SEC’s playing against the Big 12. I’d say the voters across the country would have some opinion after watch-

ing those games,” Gundy said.

Oklahoma State and Mississippi State kickoff in Houston at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

Kingsbury Era Begins at Texas Tech

When Texas Tech takes the field tonight on the road at SMU, it will mark the beginning of Kliff Kingsbury’s time as Red Raider head coach. After playing at Texas Tech from 1998-2002, Kingsbury will be on the sidelines at his alma mater for the first time.

“It’s exciting. That’s why we came here was to play the games. I think the players are ready. It’s going to be a great atmo-sphere. We know it’s a great opponent,” Kings-bury said.

“The five years I’ve been coaching, we’ve played SMU and I know the type of talent they have and the coaching they receive, so we know the challenge we’re up against.”

Kingsbury may play both Davis Webb and Baker Mayfield Saturday.

TCU to play two quarterbacks against LSU Saturday

young players one of many storylines entering openerby AMIT bATrA

sports editor

With the first game Sat-urday against William & Mary, there is possibility of first-game jitters at Mi-lan Puskar Stadium once noon comes around. That, and other key story lines, may be something to fol-low throughout Saturday’s contest.

With any first game, there is a certain level of ex-pectations for the coaching staff and players. West Vir-ginia and William & Mary both have talented players on their respective rosters, but youth can play a factor

for WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen’s squad.

“I just want to see what the kids’ mentalities are like and to see more than anything which guys get wide-eyed,” Holgorsen said. “Nothing gets guys more in position than a game does – you can fig-ure out their mental toughness.

“Guys that haven’t jumped offside all camp may get flinchy and jump off during a game because it’s a game. We try to put them in as many situations as we possibly can.”

While Holgorsen cer-tainly doesn’t want to see

many errors take place Sat-urday, he does understand that youth can play a fac-tor. While Holgorsen and staff will certainly evalu-ate the team’s demeanor, progress will be made with time, like every season.

Coming as a surprise, junior Andrew Buie will redshirt this season. Hol-gorsen addressed his lead-ing rusher from 2012 this week.

“He’s got to develop mentally and physically,” Holgorsen said. “We’re go-ing to leave it at that. He’s not going to play this year. I fully expect him to be ready in the spring. He had

to make some decisions. Did we force him to red-shirt? No. He just felt like it was in the best interest for him and in the best inter-est for the program to save his year.”

Other key story lines en-tering Saturday’s opening game with the Tribe in-clude the return of senior Ivan McCartney.

“I’ve seen some differ-ences in him,” Holgorsen said. “I think it matters a lot more to him now. Whatever issues he was dealing with last year, I don’t see him dealing with them this year. Is he going to be a difference maker?

We will see on Saturday. He’s had a good camp and has been able to maintain relative health.”

In terms of injuries, ju-nior wide receivers Kevin White and Mario Alford are both listed as questionable and have foot problems. Junior linebacker Shaq Petteway is set to have surgery Friday on an ACL injury.

Despite William & Mary going 2-9 last season in the Colonial Athletic As-sociation (CAA), Hol-gorsen doesn’t expect his squad to overlook the up-set-minded Tribe.

“You can’t overlook

them or anyone else in that conference,” he said. “Villanova has won a na-tional championship. Del-aware has won a national championship. They’ve beaten a lot of 1-A teams. In 2012 William & Mary al-most beat Maryland.

“We want to take these guys seriously. We should be excited to play – it doesn’t matter who we play. We’re tired of prac-ticing against each other. It’s time to focus on some-body else, regardless of who that is, and we should be excited to play.”

mel moraes/the daily athenaeum After weeks of fall camp and learning plays, the WVU football team will get on the field tomorrow against William & Mary.

Smallwood beats out upperclassmen on depth chartby DoUg wALp

sports writer

At the start of West Vir-ginia’s fall camp, there were five players with a legiti-mate chance to play a lot of snaps at the running back position for the Mountain-eers in 2013.

As the weeks progressed, the WVU coaches kept their cards fairly close to their chests, and many began to assume the upperclass-men would eventually win the top spots in the running back rotation.

However, those predic-tions were only half-justi-fied, as redshirt senior run-ning back Charles Sims, who transferred here from Houston this offseason, did indeed nab the top spot coming out of camp.

Playing right behind the five-year senior is true freshman Wendell Small-wood, who surprisingly emerged from the Moun-taineers’ preseason camp as the No. 2 back listed on the depth chart. Smallwood could be poised to make a name for himself right out of the gate at WVU.

“Right now, I trust him enough to be a starter,” said first-year running backs

coach JaJuan Seider. “It’s just a gut feeling. He’s done a great job from spring to fall. He’s going to be a re-ally, really good player here.”

Smallwood beat out ju-niors Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie, who already have 200-yard rushing per-formances in their careers at WVU. Earlier this week, Holgorsen said Buie will redshirt this year.

Garrison told reporters in the middle of fall camp that he thought Smallwood was “pretty much the only freshman here who still has got some learning to do,” but also noted that he could see him making an impact for the Mountain-eers right away in 2013 if given the chance.

“I also think he’s game ready,” Garrison said. “He’s developed a lot since spring ball, and he’s learned a lot.”

The fact that Smallwood finished second only to the aforementioned Sims, who is actually considered the top running back prospect in all of college football by some NFL analysts, could be even more telling of the true freshman’s potential.

Smallwood turned down offers from Auburn, Ten-

nessee and a number of other schools to come to Morgantown in the spring, despite an absolute packed house at the position with yet another highly touted transfer, Rushel Shell, wait-ing in the wings for 2014.

At 5-foot-11 and 194 pounds, some might expect Smallwood to be a com-pact power runner, but ac-cording to his teammates, it’s Smallwood’s speed that has really caught their at-tention so far.

“Wendell has an enor-mous amount of speed,” Garrison said during fall camp.

Now, obviously Sims is expected to get the major-ity of the running back reps as the starter of the 2013 season opener against the Tribe of William & Mary Saturday afternoon. But according to the offensive coaching staff, keeping fresh bodies rotating in and sticking with the hot hand are definitely components of the game plan and could provide even more oppor-tunities for Smallwood in his first ever collegiate appearance.

But head coach Dana Holgorsen has also said all along that with any of the

true freshmen, including Smallwood, you can never really be too sure what you’re going to get un-til you get a packed house with the lights on.

“We have a lot of inex-perienced guys. Whether they’re guys that were or weren’t in the program, there aren’t a ton of guys who have taken college snaps,” Holgorsen said. “So it can be a concern to some, and it can be excit-ing to others. I take in the exciting part. I can’t wait to see those guys and see what they’ve got, (and) see which guys respond well to the atmosphere of 65,000 people in the stands and being on national television.

“Some guys will elevate their game and some guys will get wide-eyed and not do what we want them to do. We have to identify that, and there’s only one way you can identify that.”

Holgorsen can finally start officially identifying this in less than 48 hours when Wendell Smallwood and his new Mountaineer teammates take the field for the first time in 2013.

Cook, Joseph look to rebuild defense following difficult year

file photoSophomore safety Karl Joseph makes a tackle in last season’s game against Oklahoma.

By GreG MADiA MultiMEdiA Editor

The West Virginia de-fense is tired of talking about what happened in 2012. Internally, they have put the season well in the review mirror and have moved on. Of course there are parts o f2012 to learn from, but talk-ing about the struggles, reading opposing offen-sive stat sheets are com-pletely in the past.

The team understands if they change their fo-cus from worrying about what happened a year ago to what is going to happen in 2013, they will be better off as a unit.

Safeties Darwin Cook and Karl Joseph are the

roots behind that way of thinking. Two of the most experienced in the unit, Cook and Joseph understand that play-ing in the Big 12 Confer-ence is all about what is next. Whether it is play to play or game to game, it’s all about looking ahead, and that is where the par-allel between forgetting last season and thinking about this year comes in.

“Players’ mentality can change everything and that’s what college foot-ball is all about,” Cook said.

“If players and coaches have the same hunger and mentality, you have a chance to do great things.”

Cook has been in Mor-

gantown since 2009 and is playing for his third defensive coordinator in three years. While that could be considered diffi-cult, Cook adapted a way in which he can teach the young players who play beside him.

“I’ve been through three different defenses in three years, so I know football and defense pe-riod,” Cook said. “If we have an inexperienced BUCK or inexperienced corner, I can just tell them what to do. If a young guy is out there and he gets frozen, I tell him what to do instead of the play just going by him.”

Considered the elder statesman of the team, his teammates look at him as

someone with knowledge. Cook is expected to thrive in the leadership and up his level of play on the field.

Alongside Cook, now sophomore Karl Joseph comes off a 104-tackle season. While some be-lieve Joseph could get complacent, it appears to be the complete opposite. His position coach Tony Gibson sees that.

“He’s (Joseph) done a great job; he’s a humble kid. He doesn’t think he’s the best to ever play the game; he studies film. He works and does a heck of a job just preparing,” Gib-son said.

“It’s something you see in juniors and se-niors, and I think he’s

so far ahead of where he should be that it shows on the field.”

Joseph admits while the number of tackles and big hits were awe-some last season, it didn’t matter because the team didn’t win games.

This year he wants to have his tackles and hits impact the outcome of the game.

“I don’t care about stats. All I care about this season is winning games,” Joseph said.

For Gibson, all he cares is getting Joseph ready to improve.

“I’m just trying to fine- tune him and let him play within the system,” Gib-son said.

Both Cook and Joseph

are expected to be a dy-namic duo at the safety spot for West Virginia. The defense is leaning on these two safeties for big plays and ability to create turnovers. Darwin Cook said with him aligned next to Joseph, the de-fense, as a whole, will improve vastly. The vet-eran, Cook also said this may be the best defense he has played during his career at West Virginia.

“I’ve been here a long time, I’ve been on all the defenses. I was on the 2010 defense, and I’m not saying we’re going to be the 2010 defense, but we got a chance to be really good,” Cook said.
