Students share thoughts on election at gathering

Students and community members meet on the HUB-Robeson Center Lawn lawn to express their opinions and feelings of the results of the 2016 Presidential Election on Thursday, Nov. 10.

By Matt GuerryTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Standing in a circle, students took turns addressing one anoth-er in an informal “reconciliation” as over 30 students gathered on the HUB-Robeson Center lawn late Thursday evening to share their thoughts on the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential election.

Ellis Stump, one of two students who organized the meeting, said it was not anti-Donald Trump, but an “anti-racist, anti-prejudice and anti-sexist” all-inclusive event.

“The fact that there are conser-vatives, Republicans and people who voted for Trump in that circle right now is surprising and a little bit tough for me, but really impor-tant,” Stump (junior–media stud-

ies) said. “The more that we have on our side — the side for social justice, equality, and opportunity — the better the situation is going to be.”

Stump said she planned the event with friend and roommate Tessa Sontheimer to help stu-dents speak their minds, which she hopes will manifest into more political proactivity.

Students like Rana Mohamed said they feared what Trump’s presidency implies about the vot-ing populace.

“I knew there was people who were against Muslims — I knew there was people against the LGBT community — but to real-ize [there were that many],” Mo-hamed (sophomore–international

politics) said to those present. “That was a shock.”

Aaron Blakney, who said he campaigned at a local office for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, at-tended the event after hearing about it through Facebook.

“As a white male who comes from an upper-middle class family, it’s tough because I will not face the dire repercussions a Trump presidency will bring,” Blakney (junior-environmental resource management) said. “I truly believe in a diverse Ameri-ca. I believe in equality and fair-ness for everyone, and I don’t believe that’s something Trump stands for.”

Anjali Bhatt (senior-psychology) decorates the State of State election dropbox at the HUB on Thursday Nov. 10.

By Abbi SalesFOR THE COLLEGIAN

On Thursday afternoon, State of State held an open discus-sion and drop box throughout the day to allow the community to discuss their views following the election.

“We definitely all sense that our community members need-ed to outlet — some people take to social media, but some people don’t feel comfortable with that, so we wanted to provide that space for them,” Sarah Galang said.

Galang (senior-biology and health policy) is the special events coordinator and set up the event. She said State of

State’s mission is to bring about healthy discussion — in a produc-tive way — regarding issues that students, faculty and community members at Penn State face to bring hope of change.

“It’s been buzzing in our heads all day,” Galang said. “I’m per-sonally very stressed out, but it’s really nice to sit here and really just be like ‘Okay, this happened, what do we do next?’ so I feel like a lot of people will benefit from that.”

State of State hosted an edu-cation event prior to the election revolving around the importance of voting, and felt the need to hold something afterwards as well.

Penn State police received a report of a sexual assault on Wednesday night.

A female student reported a male, known to her, pulled her into a bathroom in Hibbs Hall, a residence hall in the South Halls complex, and performed a non-consensual sexual act on her, ac-cording to a timely warning.

The alleged incident occurred between 4:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The student describes the at-tacker as a 19-year-old Asian male with black hair.

This marks the 30th reported sexual assault or possible sexual assault since the semester began on Aug. 22.

On Saturday, past and present members of the Theta Chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity, along with the Penn State Joint ROTC Color Guard, will gather at 330 Fraternity Row to dedicate the Wilford Beisel Memorial Flag-pole.

A bronze plaque, attached to the bottom of the flagpole, features the names of 93 Theta Chapter members who served in World War II.

Among the names on the plaque are two famous Penn State athletes, Steve Suhey and Stanley “Whitey” Von Nieda.

Suhey was an All-American football player and is credited with creating the now-famous “We Are Penn State” chant,

while Von Nieda played in the NBA for several years.

The catalyst for erecting the memorial flagpole came when former Theta Chapter member Wilford Beisel left a portion of his will to fund the project. Beisel — who served in the Marine Corps — said he wanted to honor veter-ans who sacrificed for their coun-try, Thomas Fosnacht said.

Fosnacht, retired colonel and past Sage of the Theta Chapter, said he expects the ceremony to elicit pride among the chapter’s members and community-at-large.

“I’m honored to be able to orga-nize this dedication ceremony to honor the brothers who served in World War II,” Fosnacht said.

Fosnacht is also bringing Frank Fryburg — a 93-year-old World War II veteran - to the event on

Saturday. Fryburg is one of the few remaining Theta Chapter members who served in World War II.

“I think it’s a wonderful thing that we are able to honor our vet-erans like this,” Fryburg said.

Phil Simmons, member of the Theta Board, said he is expecting the event to be powerful and an-ticipates “representation from a lot of different groups,” such local politicians and various veteran organizations.

The commemoration begins at 8:30 a.m. with a breakfast inside the House, followed by the dedi-cation ceremony at 9:30 a.m.

Following the ceremony, a “Vir-tual Tailgate” is planned at Let-terman’s Restaurant, where Sat-urday’s Penn State football game against Indiana will be broadcast.

Recent testing showed unsafe levels of lead in the water at 2401, 4303 and 5708 apartment build-ings in Nittany Apartments, ac-cording to a Penn State release.

The buildings’ tap water tested higher than Environmental Pro-tection Agency’s levels for lead of 15 parts per billion. The source of the lead remains unknown to the university at this time.

The University recommended finding an alternative source for water treatment, and using cold water for cooking, as boiling wa-ter will not reduce lead content. Penn State recommended run-ning the water for a period of time before using it to flush out any stagnate water.

Too much lead in drinking wa-ter leads to health issues, the uni-

versity said in the release.Penn State released a state-

ment acknowledging unsafe lev-els of lead being detected in Nit-tany Apartments buildings 2401, 4303, and 5708.

103 tap water samples from 30 buildings were tested during the summer, 13 of which had elevat-ed readings of lead, according to the release. The 13 samples exceed the EPA’s action level of 15 parts per billion. Residents of the affected Nittany Apartments buildings have been notified by the University via letter, accord-ing to the statement.

The statement further goes on to explain the dangers of drinking tap water contaminat-ed with lead and gives advice as to what precautions students should take.

Penn State Racing heads for the finish line

By Liz FurioTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Penn State Racing is speeding ahead to its next competition.

As Penn State’s Formula So-ciety of Automotive Engineers team, Penn State Racing designs and builds a racecar annually for a competition in May.

With about 40 to 50 members, the club breaks building the car into eight teams: administra-tive, aerodynamics/composites, chassis, design, manufacturing, powertrain, suspension and elec-tronics.

Sponsors completely fund the project. The team recently con-tacted SpaceX for a sponsorship. In the last month, the team re-ceived $5,500 from Ford, $3,000 from Volvo and $1,000 from Arce-lorMittal.

Lucy Blevins became involved with Penn State Racing last year. As an engineer, she liked things that move. A year later, she be-came co-captain of the club.

“If someone had told me a year ago I’d be doing anything with cars, I would have said ‘You’re crazy,’” Blevins (senior-mechan-ical engineering) said.

Just like its racecar, the club is constantly on the go. Members of the team spend their days in the Learning Factory working on pieces and parts for the impend-ing race.

Every Sunday as soon as the semester begins, the team heads to the Larson Transportation In-stitute as early as 8 a.m. and runs practice laps with the car until

as late as 5 p.m., or until a piece breaks.

“There’s something every week,” Blevins said, adding the club mainly faces minor prob-lems with quick fixes during these practice laps.

George Mishkin, the team’s other co-captain, has participat-ed in Penn State Racing since his first week of freshman year.

After spending hours in the Learning Factory working his freshman year, Mishkin (senior-mechanical engineering) was elected lead of manufacturing as a sophomore and realized he was being groomed for team cap-tain for his junior year, a position he retained for his senior year. Mishkin said the progression in

rank was rewarding.The Formula SAE race is held

annually the second week of May at the Michigan International Speedway.

About 120 international schools compete. Penn State’s team brings about 30 members to the competition.

“It’s like a small child going to Disneyland,” Mishkin said, add-ing the competing schools check out other cars, take pictures of them and talk to competitors to compare notes.

In recent years, Penn State has consistently placed in the top one-third of teams, which Mish-kin said is impressive based on the team’s resources and knowl-edge.

Other teams in the competi-tion outsource their car’s parts.

Penn State’s team produces 90 percent of material in-house. The team has done better than any other competitor with that high of an in-house production percentage, Mishkin said.

In the race last year, the car finished all of its events, which is no small feat for a car solely de-signed and built by students.

The competition is divided into two parts: static and dynamic.

In the static portion, the team presents a cost report, a busi-ness presentation and a design pitch to sell the car.

International Education Week to be celebrated

By Stephen ClouseFOR THE COLLEGIAN

Penn State’s campus is one filled with different cultures and students from all over the world.

Starting next week, Penn State and academic institutions across the nation will celebrate the diversity of their students during International Education Week.

On Sunday, one of the first major events of the week will take place — the International Education Week Launch Party, to be held in Alumni Hall of the HUB-Robeson Center from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

Sarah McClanahan, engage-ment coordinator for Penn State Global Programs Student Engagement, will be serving as primary coordinator for IEW this year, and will be helping oversee the Launch Party.

“This is the first time we’ve done the launch party,” McClanahan said. “At Penn State we have one of the highest num-ber of international students, as well as students who go abroad, so it’s worth celebrating.”

The kick-off event will host

more than a dozen organizations, including the Indonesian Student Association, the Asian Classical Music Club, Rince na Leon —Irish Dance — and several more. Students will be giving cultural performances, showcasing art, and serving food from around the globe.

“We’ll have diverse food options, and cultural perfor-mances that include musical per-formances, dance performanc-es, and even a fashion show,” McClanahan said. “They’ll be able to feature and highlight their cultures.”

One of the organizations that will take a starring role in the events Sunday is the Polish Student Association, under the leadership of President Alicja Bartnikiewicz.

“We’re very excited,” Bart-nikiewicz (sophomore-media studies and international communications). “Our organiza-tion just started this year, so we hope to get more involved and share a little piece of our culture with everyone on Sunday.”

Bartnikiewicz revealed that the

PSA will read a poem written by Adam Mickiewicz, who she considers to be one of the greatest Polish poets “in times of romanticism” — in both Pol-ish and English.

Indira Saifuddin, secretary of the Indonesian Student Associa-tion, said her organization plans to promote their culture at the event as well.

“We want to let everyone know where Indonesia is and what we stand for,” Saifuddin (sophomore-chemical engineer-ing). “After all, Indonesia is one of the largest countries in South-east Asia.”

The ISA will be performing traditional Indonesian dances — the Saman, and the Yamko Rambe Yamko, she said.

Doors open for the event at 6 p.m., and performances begin promptly at 6:30.

“This is a great opportunity for students to see our diversity on campus, and learn about dif-ferent cultures,” McClanahan said. “They will also be able to see some of the amazing talent that our students have.”

brain and kidneys and can ob-struct the production of red blood cells. Infants, children and preg-nant women are the most suscep-tible to poisoning.

The University suggests run-ning water in order to flush out stagnant water that may contain lead. Boiling water has no effect on the reduction of lead. It also suggests students get water from sources other than the tap, such as bottled water, or to use a water filter. Blood can be tested to de-termine whether individuals have been exposed to lead poisoning.

The report also includes a statement from David Gray, se-nior Vice President for Finance and Business.

“Penn State goes above and beyond to safeguard the water for the people who live, work and visit campus from the source, treatment and distribution of water, including exceeding man-dated testing minimums and even testing for things that are not required or regulated,” Gray said. “We want our students, fac-ulty, staff and visitors to know that their health and safety is paramount, and that we appreci-ate their patience as we investi-gate this further.”

A full list of the 13 samples that exceeded the EPA’s action level can be seen online.

“I had some strong views on how people reacted to the elec-tion results and I wanted to see how people felt about it [and] wanted to share my own views,” Victor Acero said.

Acero (senior-engineer sci-ence) said he didn’t like the reac-tion coming from the left towards Donald Trump and the Republi-cans because it was very similar to what the Republicans were do-ing to Obama back in 2008 to 2012.

“I can understand why they would want to hit back with the same attitude that they gave; it’s not going to fix anything,” he said. “So it was just really frustrating because I’m seeing this as anoth-er four to eight years of the same thing that happened with Obama, but with Trump — I really don’t want that. I want something to get done.”

Gunman kills officer, self

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CANONSBURG, Pa. — A gun-man with a history of domestic abuse fatally shot a police of-ficer and wounded another on Thursday before he and a wom-an were found dead following a fight at their apartment, author-ities said.

Officer Scott Bashioum and the other officer were respond-ing separately to an emergency call from neighbors at around 3:15 a.m. when they were “am-bushed upon their arrival” and immediately shot, state police Trooper Melinda Bondarenka said. The officers had arrived almost simultaneously, though authorities said other details of the initial confrontation were unclear.

Bashioum, a father of four, died less than an hour later at a hospital, a coroner said. The 52-year-old had been on the po-lice force for seven years.

The wounded officer, whose name was not released, was hospitalized in Pittsburgh in

stable condition after surgery.The man found in the home,

47-year-old Michael Cwiklinski, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Washington County Coro-ner Timothy Warco ruled. The woman in the home, 28-year-old Dalia Elhefny Sabae, died from a gunshot wound inflicted by Cwik-linski, Warco said.

Defense attorney David Wolf identified Sabae as Cwiklinski’s girlfriend, though some inves-tigators and the coroner have been describing her as Cwiklin-ski’s wife and she listed herself as “married” on her Facebook page.

Wolf said he had known the couple since November 2015, when Cwiklinski was charged with simple assault and harass-ment for swinging a bag of mer-chandise and hitting Sabae in the eye. The case was resolved with the assault charge being dropped and Cwiklinski pleading guilty to harassment. He was sentenced to anger management classes and required to have a mental health evaluation, Wolf said.

Woman guilty in man’s death

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTROSE, Pa. — A jury has found a northwestern Pennsylva-nia woman guilty in the death of a man who was stabbed 29 times before his body was dumped down an embankment along the Susquehanna River.

The jury deliberated about four hours Wednesday before return-ing the verdict against 28-year-old Sarah Briggs in the Feb. 2015 death of Roy Marvin.

Her boyfriend, 26-year-old Jerry Mast, pleaded guilty in De-cember in the stabbing, which police say was over an argument about drugs.

PAC presents second annual A Cappella SamplerBy Amanda Thieu

FOR THE COLLEGIAN

Seven campus vocal groups gathered at the Schwab Au-ditorium’s stage to show off their electrifying and engag-ing performances which re-sulted in a packed auditorium with cheering and head-bobbing fans.

The Penn State Performing Arts Council presented their second annual A Cappella Sam-pler as the second event of their “Empower and Create” series which includes six events in total.

The performances featured The Singing Lions, The Pennhar-monics, None of the Above (NOTA), The Coda Conduct, Sav-ior Faire, Shades of Blue, The Statesmen and Blue in the FACE.

Brett Neely and his friends Brigid O’Shaughnessy and Rachel Bolten came to watch their roommate, Laura Kastner, who performed with Savior Faire. O’Shaughnessy (senior) thinks that the performances are “awe-some” and that the “arranging of the songs makes it extremely interesting.”

“They’re just as talented as the

people in ‘Pitch Perfect,’” Bolten said (senior).

Each of the performances brought something different to the table. The first group, The Singing Lions, coordinated their

songs with the background lights and dance numbers. Savoir Faire was the only female singing group that performed.

“I feel like there’s something unique about each of the groups,”

Neely said (graduate-psycholo-gy).

Rayne Johnson performed to-night with the Pennharmonics as a new member. She described her experience performing on stage

with the group as a great feeling, finally getting the opportunity to perform with the other members on an actual stage.

Johnson (freshman-criminol-ogy) said the most rewarding part of the experience was the applause at the end of their per-formance that assured them that they did a good job.

Meghan Solomon (freshman), member of the Coda Conduct, prepared for the sampler by prac-ticing twice a week, aside from her sectionals, and “continuing to strive for our best.”

“When you’re on the other side of the line, being in the audience and not the stage, it’s time to ap-preciate and respect the other musicians and groups and after tonight,” Solomon said. “Each and every performance was amazing.”

The groups gave unexpected twists. NOTA welcomed the Coda Conduct back onto the stage to perform “Ultralight Beam” by Kanye West with them, which brought the crowd to their feet.

The blend of NOTA’s colorful attire and the Coda Conduct’s all black with a splash of pink sepa-rated the groups but not the voic-es that made them one.

No Refund Theatre presents ‘Waiting for Godot’By Kara Fesolovich

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

A single, white tree stood alone on the stage as the lights dimmed in the HUB-Robeson Center’s Flex Theater, indicating that the play, “Waiting for Godot,” was go-ing to begin.

The play centered around two main characters — Vladimir, played by Max Levine, and Es-tragon, played by Sebastian Pel-legrini — seemingly bickering about anything and everything whilst wandering around the tree. The reoccurring theme, however, always came back to the play’s title.

Estragon would ask his friend throughout the randomness of the play why he and Vladimir could not leave their location be-neath the tree. Vladimir would re-spond, “Because we are waiting for Godot.”

The entire show, Vladimir and Estragon are constantly comi-cally questioning when, where and why they are supposed to be meeting Godot. They cannot leave the spot next to the tree be-cause of the supposed meeting.

The production was, for the most part, just Levine and Pel-legrini on the stage with the oc-casional visit from one of three

other characters.“I actually really enjoy work-

ing in small casts — there’s a sense of intimacy that you just can’t get in a large cast,” Levine said. “However, that means that there’s a lot more work between everyone else and that was the one thing that we ran into.”

The script was a bit all over the place as well, Levine (senior-history) said. This made it a bit harder for all of the scenes where it was just himself with Pellegrini on the stage, Levine said.

Some other characters ran into obstacles with the complex script, even if they didn’t have many lines, but a lot of physical acting.

Gerry Stamatelatos (fresh-man-chemical engineering), who played an almost completely mute servant-man named Lucky, was on the stage for a large por-tion of the play but did not have many lines because of his charac-ter’s lack of the ability to speak.

“It was hard to be so still and so stagnant in so many ways,” Stamatelatos said. “However, I definitely enjoyed playing the character because it was an ad-venture and something I haven’t done yet.”

Despite the craziness and pe-culiar nature of the play itself, the

directors, Julie Whelan and Sar-ah Chairnoff said they were up for the challenge.

Chairnoff (junior-elementary education) praised the cast for being extremely professional and for working extremely well de-spite the messiness of the play.

“We proposed this show togeth-er,” Chairnoff said of herself and Whelan. “I read it in high school and I just love that it can be any-

thing to anyone. It is very existen-tialist and you can take anything you want from it.”

The existentialism is some-thing that resonated with cast-members like Levine as well.

“The whole time we are spent looking for, if not God himself, we’re looking for a sense of pur-pose,” Levine said. “That’s what Vladimir does — waiting for his moment or his sense of purpose

to come.”The issue for the characters

and for the writer of the play, Samuel Beckett, seems to be that the purpose never comes, Levine said.

“Waiting for Godot” will play at 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday in the HUB Flex Theater.

There are two emotions that have historically been known to drive people to unbelievable lengths: loyalty and fear.

The problem with emotion though is it’s inherently not based in logic. And right now, America is acting without logic.

People are screaming “not my president” and burning the American flag in the streets, while waving signs that say “love trumps hate.” They are acting with fear of a future that is entirely uncertain.

Meanwhile, an unnerving number of incidents were reported across the country of racism, bigotry and sexism. They are acting with a loyalty to the outlandish attitude of Trump during his campaign that is heartbreaking and con-cerning.

This cannot continue. With this unimaginable

amount of energy and emotion rocking our country right now, there needs to be an outlet for it.

But we plead that that outlet does not become violence.

Violence and aggression at this time are counterproduc-tive to everything that needs to be done in the coming months as we prepare for the unknown.

To protest Trump as presi-dent is a right granted by our Constitution, but realize he hasn’t taken office yet. He hasn’t enacted any shattering policies. He hasn’t built any-thing.

What has happened is the American people voted and they elected Trump. Not the government, not the Russians. Us. By arguing against the election results, you argue against the system of govern-ment that has been established

since our founding and the right of the American people to vote for the candidate who is most in line with their opin-ions.

If things had gone the other way, would we be having this discussion or these demonstra-tions?

Essentially, to currently pro-test him as our next president is bullheaded and illogical.

There are many more ave-nues available to express those emotions that are driving peo-ple across our country.

Where that emotion should be is listening to what both Trump and Hillary Clinton said the day after the election and work on coming together and finding that common voice.

When the time comes that Trump begins to enact policies, that is the time to call for actions, if necessary. Creating a country and atmosphere that

encourages hate and promotes discrimination is not what we stand for, and that must be addressed. But that should be where the focus is, not on Trump, but the people who are going to pollute and demonize our country for the sake of their own ends.

At the end of the day, Trump is one man. There are better focuses of our energy.

Penn State, you have kept your peace, and for that we are grateful. Violence is not some-thing we wish to see anymore of here. Have conversations instead. Look into productive avenues of creating change and advocating for the rights that might be threatened.

Realize the power of emotion and take a step back rather than a leap into the fray. Hope is not lost, but if fear becomes the guide for the future, vio-lence is the likely outcome.

Anything but violence in this time of uncertainty

Future under Trump is unknown, but we must stand together

It has been two full days since the result of the 2017 presidential election has been

announced. In a race that was extremely close, Republican Donald Trump was victorious. The result shocked mil-lions, even many of his sup-porters.

The country was left in aston-ishment.

What we have learned from Trump’s victory is that there is anger in a working class that is tired of a political establish-ment that has them working longer hours for less and is put-ting decent jobs overseas.

People are unhappy, and they want change.

What we have learned in the hours following Trump’s victory is that people are terrified.

Communities of immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ mem-bers and women do not know what to expect in the coming four years of a Trump presiden-

cy. His rhetoric does not put him in a positive light — he has given these people nothing to go off of except for words of racism and sexism.

To write off the fear that is being expressed by these groups as “dramatic” is close-minded and wrong.

If you identify as part of a group who does not have to worry about the words this man has said in the last few months, you are privileged.

Identify that privilege and use it to support, not belittle.

Trump’s campaign made no promise of solidarity with women, immigrants, people of color and the LGBTQ commu-nity. That is fact.

His opponent, Hillary Clinton, campaigned and openly voiced her support for these individu-als, while Trump campaigned on a hugely economic platform. The goals for both were very different, but the words spoken by Trump throughout his cam-paign were real.

They were obviously directed at certain groups.

There is a legitimate reason

to feel scared after hearing the things he said.

In the hours following his vic-tory, his tone has already changed — he has spoken about his respect for women and his vow to support the LGBTQ community.

Only time will tell if his previ-ous campaign remarks hold meaning or if they were politi-cal hyperbole.

The future is uncertain, but one thing is sure: opposing the success of the president-elect is essentially opposing the suc-cess of our country.

Hoping for his failure will accomplish nothing. Regardless of the name you checked off on your ballot, the answer is clear.

Both lessons from a Trump victory are valid and true. There is an indisputable need for change within our country, and there is also an indisput-able right to fear what may hap-pen in the future — but the bot-tom line is that we don’t know.

We can vocalize our support for the groups of people who feel marginalized, oppressed and scared.

We can let them know that we are here for them, that we support them, that we under-stand their concerns, but to say for sure that we know what will happen in the future is not valid.

Whatever does happen, how-ever, will be worse if we remain a divided nation.

Our division and resentment for people of opposing beliefs will make the future worse regardless of the outcome.

In two months, an oath will be read and a new man will sit behind the desk in the Oval Office.

He will enact new policies, make new promises and face new challenges.

We do not know what will happen, or the decisions that he will make – but we must face them together, as one country under the same leader.

Modern Progressivism and Trump

Modern progressivism elect-ed Donald Trump. I was born into a family of poor Ukrainian immigrants. My mother works full-time. I am a religious Jew in a rural community. My sister identifies as lesbian. I empa-thize with the plights of minori-ties because I’ve seen my loved ones live through them.

But according to the liberal intelligentsia, I am not a pro-gressive. My parents were refused admission to medical-school as Jews. They were taunted, bullied and obstructed at every step.

When they hear Trump’s statements, they are painfully reminded of the xenophobia they overcame. When Trump promises to leave NATO, we worry for our relatives in Ukraine who could lose their lives.

And yet we understand Trump, because we are among the large swath of Americans who are shunned from the “progressive” movement because we use the “wrong pronouns,” labeled racist based on our skin color, and placed in the same category as Klan members and Neonazis.

In a polarized political envi-ronment following Barack Obama’s coronation as a “champion of the masses,” the left responded to the Tea Party by ridiculing millions of Ameri-cans.

These dejected masses went underground, replacing main-stream media with the internet. They felt left out of the left-wing’s version of reality, so they created their own.

Today, the liberal intelligen-tsia stands firm in its belief: you’re either with us or against us. They cannot continue to preach unity while perpetuating divisive rhetoric. If my immi-grant family does not conform to your intolerant “progressive” standards, don’t act surprised when you don’t receive our votes.

New Life Fellowship hosts culinary battle

By Aubree RaderTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

One group of students have a new addition to their trophy case: the Silver Spatula.

Students of New Life Fellow-ship competed in a culinary bat-tle based off of the hit television show Iron Chef yesterday night.

The Iron Chef competition has been an annual event for the past ten years, New Life Fellowship director Johnny Pons said. The event has been held to help mem-bers bond and allow new mem-bers to meet others in the club.

“Everybody is looking for a place to belong,” Pons said. “This makes the university seem a little smaller.”

The three Teams — Team Won, Just in the Knick of Time, and Blues Clues — were given the se-cret ingredient at the beginning of the competition and warranted two hours to prepare a main en-trée as well as a side dish or des-sert. Both meals had to include brown sugar.

Nick Oldziejewski (senior-ac-counting) said it was fast-paced and fun — he likes adrenaline rushes so he enjoyed the compe-tition.

At the end of the two hours, the teams regrouped to present their dishes to the judges. The scoring began once 8 p.m. came — any team that arrived late would be deducted 10 points for every five minutes that passed.

One student defended her title and won the Silver Spatula Award for a second year. Her team pre-pared pork chops with a peach glaze and sweet potato fries with a Texas Roadhouse imitated dip-ping sauce.

“It was a team effort,” Kelcey Harris (senior-animal science) said. “All around it was a lot of smiles and that’s all that matters to me.”

Blues Clues team member Dan Jackson (sophomore-mechanical engineering) admitted to calling his mom, who runs a food cater-ing business, for the recipe.

Just in the Knick of Time, a

name inspired by the team ar-riving promptly at 8 p.m., also used a family recipe, this time from team member Jordan Linder’s grandmother for her hot fudge lava cake. The team earned second place and was awarded bristle pads.

Pons said there was only a one point difference between the winning team and the team that came in second.

Pons, Reiber and Pon’s wife — Kathy Pons — were the three judges at the Iron Chef event. The teams were scored on taste, presentation, creativity, staying near budget, attitude and arriv-ing on time.

Team Won came in third place and was awarded protein bars for the energy to help endure the next competition, Pons said.

“We love Jesus and we are a bunch of foodies,” New Life Fel-lowship co-director Eric Reiber said.

THON fundraiser raises money in a ‘cool’ new wayCryoZone will host a “Freeze-A-THON” to support the Penn State Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon.

By Virginia PopeTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

This weekend, Penn State students will have the chance to take part in a “cool” new way to raise money for THON.

CryoZone, a facility located in Victory Sports that provides Cryotherapy sessions to people, will host a “Freeze-A-THON” weekend fundraiser for the Penn State Interfraternity Council/ Panhellenic Dance Marathon.

Tyler Smith, CryoZone owner and Penn State alumnus, de-scribed Cryotherapy as a “sur-prisingly powerful” form of cold therapy for the body.

Smith said a typical Cryother-apy session lasts for 2-3 min-utes and requires standing in a chamber with an open top that uses sub-zero temperatures from nitrogen gas to lower the skin temperature rapidly and provide health benefits to the body.

“Cryotherapy is a great way to accelerate the recovery of mus-cles, boost energy and reduce inflammation,” Smith said. “It also is a great way to burn calo-ries and is great for the skin.”

The therapy is used by a wide range of clients, Smith said, and is probably best- known for its use by numerous professional sports teams and celebrities like Jessica Alba and Jennifer Aniston.

Smith said every-day people use the therapy to decrease joint or arthritic pain and rejuvenate their body in three minutes.

“You feel so refreshed and en-ergized,” Smith said. “It’s amaz-

ing how good you feel after just one session.”

Smith said the idea to have a THON fundraiser came from some of the staff who are Penn State students involved with THON.

Stephanie McNamara is on a dancer relations committee and said the fundraiser is “a great way for students to try something new while donating to a cause close to their hearts.”

McNamara (senior-kinesiolo-gy) said she would describe the experience as a “painless ice-bath” and encouraged students to try something different that has beneficial results.

“A lot of people say that after they’ve done it once the feel more energized and sleep better,” Mc-Namara said. “We even had a cli-ent with an ACL injury who saw a significant decrease in swelling after a couple of sessions.”

Smith said a three minute ses-sion costs $20, and 25 percent of the proceeds will go directly to THON from CryoZone.

He said the risk-factors for a person who could not participate in cryotherapy would be present for those who have a history of heart disease or a hypersensitiv-ity to the cold.

Bree Gidner, who works at CryoZone and is a member of Gamma Phi Beta, encouraged students to try the “innovative, new” therapy to raise money for THON.

“It’s a win, win,” Gidner (se-nior-psychology) said. “You can benefit yourself while also ben-efitting a great cause.”

The fundraiser will be ongoing from Nov. 11 to 13 at the CryoZone facility inside Victory Sports.

Fundraising will be going from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Penn State ready for next challenge

Beaver Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 5. Penn State defeated Iowa 41-14.

By Vince LungaroTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Even though Penn State is rid-ing a five-game winning streak, and questions and criticism sur-

rounding his coaching abili-ties have quieted, coach James

Franklin remains focused at the task ahead.

That task is the Nittany Lions’ (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) road trip to face Indiana (5-4, 3-3) at noon Satur-day from Bloomington.

“I don’t spend time thinking about those things,” Franklin said about his outside perception. “I don’t spend time talking to the team about those things. That’s the nature of this business. That’s the nature of this profession. That’s the nature of this game. When you have fans that are re-ally, really passionate, when you win they are on cloud nine. When you lose, it hurts. It hurts. And that’s because they care so much. That’s part of it.”

One of the reasons Franklin must keep his focus fixed on the

Hoosiers is their high-powered offense.

The Hoosiers rank No. 7 in the Big Ten in total offense, using a two-quarterback system.

Both Richard Lagow and Zan-der Diamont have seen signifi-cant snaps. Lagow is the better passer of the two, having thrown 2,574 yards and 15 touchdowns. Diamont meanwhile, is the sec-ond leading rusher on the team with 191 yards. He also has three touchdowns on the ground, in-cluding a long of 59.

“It’s hard to replicate guys like Diamont in practice,” Franklin said. “Last year he went for like an 80-yard touchdown against Ohio State, I think it was. Our quarterbacks are doing a nice job. We put Von Walker over there and he’s done some nice things, he was a high school quarterback and he’s got good mobility.

First-year defensive coordina-tor Tom Allen’s defense is ranked No. 9 in total defense in the Big Ten, giving up 26.6 points per game, which is an improvement after it was ranked near the bot-tom of the conference the past

several seasons. “Tom Allen has really

changed their program,” Frank-lin said. “That was a big hire. I know [head coach Kevin Wilson] has been talking about that all off-season, getting him to come to Indiana has made a big differ-ence for them and they are play-ing really well on defense now.”

With the opposition’s defense posing another stiff test, quar-terback Trace McSorley said the key to success for the Lions of-fense will be taking care of the football, which it has been doing in recent weeks.

The Lions have only one turn-over since the Week Four loss at Michigan, a Saquon Barkley fumble in the Week Six win over Maryland.

“We’ve done a really good job during our win streak of not turning the ball over,” McSorley said. “Being able to end every drive with a kick as Coach Moor-head says, whether it’s a punt, field goal or extra point.”

The wait is over, Penn State basketball fans — and the Nit-tany Lions are hungry.

That hun-ger will be fed quickly, as the Lions kick off their season with three

home games in the span of just five days.

“It’s just so hard because of exams and you’re allowed 13 games in the non-conference and we want to get 13 games be-cause we believe that we need it,” coach Patrick Chambers said. “We’re going to need the preparation for the Big Ten. In a perfect world, you don’t want to go Friday-Sunday-Tuesday… but it’s just how it fell and we want to test these guys early.”

After a pair of promising pre-season appearances, the Lions return to action Friday backed with the program’s most prom-ising group of freshmen along with expectations and hopes the team hasn’t faced in a long time; a very long time.

On Friday night at 7:00 p.m., the Lions kick off their season as Albany University comes to visit the Bryce Jordan Center. The game will be the first regular season look at the Lions fresh-men trio of Tony Carr, Lamar Stevens and Nazeer Bostick.

The Great Danes are com-ing off a 24-9 season but lost the team’s three highest scorers to graduation. Sophomore guard Joe Cremo, the team’s fourth-leading scorer last season at 10.5 per game, will look to step up his play as he transitions into the starting lineup. Cremo, a 6-foot-4, 190 pound guard, was the America East Rookie of the Year a season ago.

On Sunday night at 6 p.m., the Lions will again be returning to

action in Happy Valley to square off with Duquesne. A year ago, the Dukes handed Penn State its first loss of the season. This year, however, the Dukes visit with a much different roster.

Gone are last year’s four high-est scorers, who combined to av-erage 56 points per game last sea-son. Dukes coach Jim Ferry will be relying on Eric James, who started 22 games last season, and the freshman pair of Isiaha Mike and Mike Lewis II.

The Lions come into Friday’s game with plenty of momentum after last week’s preseason beat-down of a lesser-talented Lock Haven squad. The game was particularly promising for how the Lions’ depth was showcased. Five players scored at least 13 points as Carr, Josh Reaves and Mike Watkins led the team with 15 apiece. Stevens particularly impressed, especially with his re-bounding ability. In 22 minutes of playing time, Stevens totaled 14 points and 12 rebounds.

“It being my first real college game, getting in front of the fans, playing in front of the arena was

really about getting the jitters out for me,” Stevens said. “I just learned the pace of the game and working on communication… af-ter I scored I was cool.”

However,the Lions won’t start their season at full strength after Reaves suffered a lower-leg inju-ry during practice this past week. The team announced that Reaves is expected to miss the first three games of the season — including next week’s matchup with Grand Canyon — before being reevalu-ated next week. Reaves was a starter in the exhibition against Lock Haven and was expect-ed to start against Albany and Duquesne.

Despite the loss of Reaves, the Lions will benefit from the return of Payton Banks, who missed the Lock Haven exhibition with injury. Banks was arguably the team’s most improved player last year and was considered a start-er prior to his injury, according to Chambers. Chambers also said that Banks will have a cap to the amount of minutes he plays.

One of the most successful teams in recent history at Penn State kicks off its season this

weekend with two matches with one on the road Fri-

day and the home opener on Sunday.

Penn State begins the season currently ranked as the No. 2 team in the country in the USA Today/NWCA Coaches Poll, be-hind only annual Big 12 power-house Oklahoma State, which received 13 of the 16 first place votes.

Penn State takes its ranking up to West Point on Friday to take on Army.

The Black Knights are cur-rently not ranked in any pre-season polls, but do have three individual wrestlers that are ranked at their respective weight classes, including two seniors and a sophomore. Se-niors Logan Everett (141 lbs) and Russell Parsons (157 lbs) are currently ranked 17th and 14th in their respective weight classes, according to Intermat-wrestle.com, while sophomore Rocco Caywood is currently ranked as the No. 11 grappler in the country at the 197-pound weight class.

Penn State senior Jimmy Gu-libon will kick off his final cam-paign for the Nittany Lions with a tough matchup against the ex-perienced Everett. Last year’s

NCAA runner-up at 157, Jason Nolf, who is currently ranked as the top wrestler at his weight, will take on Parsons.

Penn State junior Matt Mc-Cutcheon will be wrestling at the 197-pound weight class this season after spending his first two collegiate seasons at 184. Mc-Cutcheon will likely get the start thanks to an injury to redshirt freshman Anthony Cassar, who was projected to be the starter. McCutcheon is currently ranked No. 16 in the country at 197, but will have a tough task on Friday as he takes on Caywood.

The Black Knights have some talent at the front and back end of its lineup, but look for the Lions to rack up some bonus points in the middle and pull away from Army.

After Friday’s match in West Point, the Nittany Lions and head coach Cael Sanderson will re-turn home for a tough matchup against No. 16 Stanford.

Each team will have one match under its belt when the two square off Sunday afternoon in Rec Hall, as the Cardinal defeated Cal Poly, 21-9, in their season opener.

Penn State defeated then-No. 18 Stanford on the road last No-vember, 31-12.

The Cardinal will likely pose a bigger challenge for the Lions, as the team has plenty of expe-rience up and down its lineup. Stanford only has four players ranked at their respective weight classes, one more than the Black

Coach Patrick Chambers an-nounced after practice on Thurs-day night that juniors Shep Gar-ner, Payton Banks and Terrence Samuel will be the team captains for the 2016-17 season, ahead of the team’s season opener against Albany Friday night.

Garner is the leading returning scorer for Penn State after aver-aging 14.8 points per game last season. He also led the team in both assists (3.4) and steals (1.3) last season. Garner has started all but one game in his Nittany Lion career. He scored 13 points on 4-for-10 shooting — including 3-for-8 from 3-point range — in an exhibition last Friday against Lock Haven.

Banks did not play in the scrim-

mage due to injury, but Cham-bers said he would hopefully return to action against Albany. Banks was third on the team in scoring last season when he averaged 9.4 points per game. Banks shot .320 from behind the arc last season, also third of players who shot more than 25 3-pointers.

Samuel has not yet played an official game in a Nittany Lion uniform. He sat out last season after transferring from the Uni-versity of Connecticut. Samuel won a national championship with the Huskies his freshman year in 2014. That season he av-eraged 2.3 points per game and 3.6 points per game in his sopho-more campaign.

Lions travel to Maryland, Ohio

By Stephanie PannyTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Penn State’s 2016 regular season is beginning to wind down, with just two of its final six matches coming up this week-

end. Despite the small number of matches left on the schedule, three of the final six matches are

on the road and are against conference opponents. Since the beginning of the season, coach Russ Rose has said the level of play in the Big Ten is at a high, as teams at all levels of the conference have become difficult to win against.

“Every match in the Big Ten is really challenging this year,” Rose said. “Not just because we’re not at the top of the conference, I think it’s tough even for teams at the top of the conference. You need to play really well and you need to be fortunate with calls and your kids need to be healthy and well rested, because if any of those things go a little out of whack, you’re at a disadvantage.”

This weekend, the No. 10 Nittany Lions (18-7, 10-4 Big Ten) will travel to Maryland (10-16, 2-12) for an 8 p.m., Friday night game before traveling to play Ohio State (15-11, 5-9) for the final time this season at 7 p.m. on Saturday night.

In its last five games, the Buckeyes have a 2-3 record. Going into Friday’s matchup against Rutgers, the Buckeyes were previously defeated by the Terps, Wisconsin and Indiana, winning a com-bined nine sets — the Buckeyes also won against the Terps in their second match-up of the season just a night later — while dropping the same amount of sets.

The last time the Buckeyes and the Li-ons played each other, it was in Rec Hall

and the Lions took the match in straight sets (25-21, 25-20, 25-17) to defeat the only team that managed to defeat the No. 1 Cornhuskers (23-1, 14-1) in both confer-ence and non-conference play this sea-son.

Despite the win, Rose said playing the Buckeyes can still be difficult. He knows this because the Lions have been play-ing the Buckeyes twice a year “for a long time.”

“They’ve got some great talent,” Rose said. “It’s always a tough place to play, as they play at St. John Arena. You’re play-ing in one of the historic athletic facilities in the country and they play well there.”

Rose said he is also a big fan of the play of middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe and setter Taylor Hughes, as he said the duo plays “really hard” with “heart” and “energy” and “emotion.” Sandbothe leads the team with 360 kills — just 10 less than Lions’ outside hitter Simone Lee.

The Terrapins, like the Buckeyes, have won just two of their last five games — one against the Buckeyes and one against the Scarlet Knights. However, although the Terrapins have won a combined seven sets in these games, they have dropped a total of 11 sets.

“[The Terrapins] beat [the Buckeyes] at home and went five with Michigan and went five with Illinois at home,” Rose said. “They’ve been playing especially good at home, and we’re very familiar that the coaches on that staff used to work here. I’m very familiar with the quality of their work. Other than when they play Penn State, I want them to have great success.”

Penn State returns home to host Lindenwood

By Katie NansiTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

“9 a.m., 11 a.m., we’re ready to go,” head coach Josh Brandwene said.

Penn State (4-6-2) will host Lindenwood (0-8) this Friday and Sat-urday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., respectively.

After a few road wins against teams like Union and Mercyhurst, the team returns to Pegula for this series.

Brandwene added the early game Fri-day is one that local elementary school fans will be attending.

Teammates Victoria Samuelsson, Meike Meilleur and Kelsey Crow said that they are happy to be playing at home again, even though the game is earlier than the schedule typically allows.

“It’s not something that we’re used to, but we’re going to adjust and make the best of it,” Meilleur said.

Samuelsson found a silver lining in the circumstances.

“I think it’s to our advantage too, if they’ve been traveling a lot the day before and the game is early,” said Samuelsson.

After the team’s roster swelled with freshmen this season, the older players said that they have accepted leadership roles.

“What it comes down to is when we do the little things,” Crow said. “We’re not

doing them, it’s that we’re being vocal if we see someone, like maybe they missed a pass because they’re not focusing. It’s just a little tap on the shoulder, like ‘hey, get your mind right’.”

Meilleur said that she has seen the freshmen getting more comfortable on the ice.

“They fit into the team right away, and I think that definitely shows in their play,” Meilleur said.

Crow added that she has seen the younger team members become more competitive during play.

Once again, two players were recog-nized by the College Hockey America division. Amy Petersen and Katie McMil-lan were awarded Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week, respectively.

“Katie is my d-partner, and I think the biggest thing that she represents is, she’s a solid defenseman. She can always make the right play,” said Crow. “She’s not al-ways the most flashy person, but knowing that you can rely on her is one of the most undervalued things.” Brandwene shared similar sentiments.

“Their effort and their intensity and their preparation is outstanding,” said Brandwene.

No. 4 Penn State to open national title bid against No.14 Princeton

By John HoganTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN

After a historic regular season that culminated with coach Char-lene Morett-Curtiss’ 500th career

victory and a Big Ten tournament title, No. 4 Penn State is now pre-paring to start its

National Championship bid, fac-ing No. 14 Princeton on Saturday in the opening round at home.

The Tigers are a familiar oppo-nent, as the two teams met Oct. 2 when the Lions won, 4-2. How-ever, Morett-Curtiss is hesitant to say how confident she is about playing a team the Lions have already defeated, as the Tigers were without Sophia Tornetta, who is third on the team in points despite being injured for nearly half of the season.

“[Tornetta] is dynamic, she’s a natural goal scorer, so she’s going to bring a little [discomfort] to our defense,” Morett-Curtiss said. “So that’s one person we haven’t seen the first time we played them.”

Tornetta and her fellow attack-ers will keep the Lions’ defense busy, as the Tigers average 18 shots and 3 goals per game.

However, Jenny Rizzo, Skylar Fretz and company showed their ability to come up big in tourna-ment play, allowing just two goals in three games throughout the

Big Ten tournament.“Making the all-tournament

team, I thought that [Fretz] did an awesome job,” Morett-Curtiss said. “[Rizzo] I thought was much more comfortable in the cage, made some huge saves through-out each different game, especial-ly the Michigan game and again in the Maryland game. I think our defensive confidence really rose as the tournament went on.”

The Lions’ offense matched the defense’s level of play.

Although the Lions only scored six times in the Big Ten tourna-ment, they controlled the flow of their games and scored at oppor-tune times.

A big factor in the offense click-ing together is the cohesive play of young players, notably Aurelia Meijer, Moira Putsch and Big Ten tournament MVP Gini Bramley.

“Those three [Bramley, Meijer and Putsch] are really dynam-ic around the cage and I think they’re all comfortable working together,” Morett-Curtiss said. “We bumped [Meijer] up to the forward line in the Maryland game so we can use her as an attacking weapon going into this weekend. So those three players, even though they are young, have a lot of confidence.”

Youth is great for energy and enthusiasm, but Morett-Curtiss’ experience and the senior leader-ship from players like Brooke Bi-rosik will be important in keeping

a mostly underclassman roster steady in their first tournament experience.

“For this really young team, which doesn’t have tournament experience from last year, [the biggest challenge] is trying to overcome the nervousness at the start of the game and really rely on our senior class who’s been there before they’ve been in the NCAA tournament,” Morett-Curtiss said. “So, I’m hoping that

they can add a little bit more confidence and composure to the team.”

Should the Lions take care of business against the Tigers, they will face the winner of No. 7 Vir-ginia and No. 10 Michigan, which will also be played at University Park.

FIELD HOCKEY

Jenny Rizzo (5) blocks a shot from Maryland during the game at the Penn State Field Hockey Complex on Sunday, Oct. 16. Maryland defeated Penn State 5-4.

WrestlingFROM Page 6.

Knights, but all four wrestlers are ranked inside the top 13.

Penn State freshman Nick Suriano, who went undefeated in high school with a record of 159-0, will make his highly an-ticipated Rec Hall debut this weekend, but he will have a tough task at hand if he wants to get his first win in front of the home crowd. Suriano will be taking on the experi-ence Stanford junior, Con-nor Schram, who is currently ranked No. 4 at the 125-pound weight class.

The star of the Cardinal, however, is sophomore Joey McKenna.

In a rematch of last year’s matchup in which McKenna came out on top, 7-3, Gulibon will be looking to avenge last year’s defeat.

The last notable matchup will be between the two heavy-weights. Lions sophomore Nick Nevills will be taking on No. 10 Nathan Butler.

“To have him back is going to create more space,” Cham-bers said, touching on Banks’ shooting ability. “We’re look-ing forward to having a healthy Payton and hopefully he can compete on Friday.”

The Lions have won their season-opener the past 11 years and will be looking to pick up a pair of home wins to start the season. They went 11-4 at home last season,.

To keep that win streak alive against the Hoosiers, McSor-ley believes a major key will be to limit turnovers once more.

“We cannot force the ball or put the ball in jeopardy from the quarterback position by trying to force things in the pass game,” McSorley said. “We have to be able to read the defense up front and get Saquon and our running backs in one-on-one matchups against safeties and defensive backs. We are confident they will be able to win those one-on-one battles.”

Matt MartellWhat to watch

for: Penn State is firing on all cylinders right now. That be-ing said, Indiana has played them tough the past few seasons and its defense has gotten better. Sa-

quon Barkley makes the differ-ence again as the Nittany Lions collect another win.

Vincent LungaroWhat to watch

for: While the Hoosiers are on a 2-game win streak, the Lions are on an even hotter 5-game win streak. They’ve also faced stronger c o m p e t i t i o n

recently and are playing with less mistakes. The Hoosiers won’t let it be a blow out, but they won’t be able to extinguish the fire.

Score: Penn State 35, Indiana 28

Giana HanWhat to watch

for: A little hang-over early on? Yeah probably, the ingredients are all there. But it doesn’t really matter, the offense is explo-

sive enough to blow the game wide open when they click into gear –– just like what happened against Purdue.

Score: Penn State 38, Indiana 10

WEEKLY WALKBy Andrew Rubin

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

After arriving at the stadium, Penn State wastes little time in getting out on the field to start its preparations at the game day venue.

Every Saturday while most Penn Staters are still at tail-gates or watching an earlier kickoff from home, the Nittany Lions arrive at the stadium two hours and 30 minutes before game time.

Whether it is Beaver Stadium or anywhere else around the country, the Lions get off the bus, head to the locker room and then — before putting pads on — head out onto the field in front of an empty stadium for some pre warm-up warm-ups.

Most players come out, jog around, toss a few footballs among each other and try to start getting loose before head-ing back into the locker room to suit up and come out for real warm-ups, which usually start just over an hour before kickoff.

The quarterbacks often emerge from the tunnel as a unit and do the same thing as everyone else, start getting loose. Then a couple of minutes later — usually about an hour and 45 minutes before kickoff — offensive coordinator and quar-terbacks coach Joe Moorhead joins them on the field with his clipboard and trademark vi-sor, finds the quarterbacks and walks to the opposite end zone with them.

At the goal line opposite the Lions’ locker room, the quarter-

backs and Moorhead start a pre-game ritual that is theirs alone.

It is something Moorhead saw another coach do while he was a graduate assistant at Pittsburgh for the 1998-99 seasons.

“We were playing Syracuse, I believe the quarterback’s coach name at the time was Kevin Rog-ers,” Moorhead said. “I was kind of out on the field pregame and just hanging around. I saw him doing that with the quarterbacks, starting at the goal line and go-ing down all the way to the other end. I thought it was a neat idea if I ever had a chance to coach the quarterbacks.”

At Beaver Stadium they come out of the tunnel in the south end

zone — the same place the Lions enter the field just minutes before kickoff. When they get to the goal line in the north end zone, they turn and walk back towards the south. On the walk back is when they stop, talk and go over the game plan again — it’s a walk Moorhead hopes they will repeat numerous times throughout the day’s 60-minute contest.

Starting backed up against the goal line, usually the most con-servative part of the playbook, is the first phase of the game Moor-head goes over.

“We are just going through our game plan by yardage,” quarter-back Trace McSorley said. “We start being backed up, kind of just talking through things, the types of things our opponent will do and what we want to do against that.”

They repeat that cycle, stop-ping every 20 yards or so to — one last time before kickoff — go through what Moorhead expects the opposing defensive coordina-tor to throw at him in that phase of the game and to go over what they will use at those yard lines.

“We start with our ‘backed-up’ plan, ‘this is our plan, this is what we are expecting,’” Moorhead said. “Then, move up into our open field. Then we go through each of our formations… This is what we have on the game plan, this what we expect and this how we are going to read it out.”

As the Lions march out of open field and into the red zone, the process is repeated.

“Then we get down into the red zone area and into the goal line,

and just essentially talk through what the game plan is,” Moor-head said. “What we anticipate the defense seeing, how we are going to adjust and essentially what our reads are.”

Going through yard-to-yard, down-to-down situations stand-ing in the exact spot, where in a few hours McSorley will be try-ing to execute and go through reads during a game, helps him prepare, the quarterback said. In unfamiliar stadiums, he can go out and find the play clock to help with quick audibles among other stadium to stadium visualizations quarterbacks use.

“It kind of helps you get feel of not only being able to see it, but you are actually in the spot when you talk about it,” McSorley said. “We talk about getting in the red zone and we are actually stand-ing at the 20-yard line, so you can kind of try and visualize things a little bit more being in that posi-tion.”

Even after a week of prepara-tions, it helps to get everyone together — on the very field that their week of preparation will be put to the test — to run down Moorhead’s clipboard one more time.

“It is just one last time we go through the entire game plan as a whole, as a unit, as quarter-backs,” McSorley said. “So ev-eryone is on the same page, ev-eryone knows what to expect in certain situations.”
