Things The Football

Team Can Do To Win

By SEAN MEEDSThe Rocky Mountain Collegian

Among the long lines of RVs, grills and cornhole games during last Saturday’s tailgate stood one tent with a more festive theme. The ASCSU tent, stationed in the east A1 parking lot of Hughes Stadium, featured a pump-kin smashing event to spread awareness of the many ser-vices ASCSU offers.

“In order to be able to smash a pumpkin, students must fi rst tell one of us a ser-vice provided by ASCSU,” said Taylor Jackson, director of stu-dent services.

Volunteers at the tent were handing out free ASCSU bro-chures so that students could read and be able to name one of the services. Once students were able to correctly name an ASCSU service, they got to choose their own pumpkin to throw on to the blue tarp laid out in front of the tent.

“Having to name one of the services defi nitely caught me off guard,” said junior natural resources management major Brian Merewitz. “But I think it’s a pretty good marketing idea for ASCSU.”

ASCSU held the event, which was the second tailgat-ing event, to accomplish two goals.

“We want to engage stu-dents in a conversation to learn more about ASCSU,” Jackson said. “We want to highlight the services we provide like Ram-Ride and Test File.”

November is Native

American Heritage Month, but the CSU American Indi-an Science and Engineering Society (AISES) started cele-brating a few days early.

People of all ages and backgrounds gathered in the LSC Theater for the CSU AISES’ 30th Annual Pow Wow. AISES organized the event and brought perform-ers from all over the region to help celebrate, connect and have fun.

The Pow Wow kicked off with the Grand Entry. Danc-ers dressed in traditional native regalia filled the cen-ter of the LSC Theater and began dancing to the music performed by four different drum groups.

Three flag bearers were introduced: the U.S. flag, POW flag and Navajo Nation flag all hold meaning to the people involved in the Pow Wow, who paid their respects to what each flag represents.

“This Pow Wow is im-portant to keep the pow-er of our culture and our ways … and how import-ant that is for our chil-dren and our people,” said speaker Doug Goodfeath-er (Hunkpapa Lakota) during the Ground Bless-ing. “Without our elders and their teachings, we wouldn’t be standing here today … without our el-ders and our veterans and what they sacrificed.”

Goodfeather spoke of the importance of women as well as respect and the preservation of culture. He proceeded by performing a prayer in order to thank the creator and to ask him to watch over those in need.

As the singing and danc-ing continued, the real rea-son for the Pow Wow became clear: it’s a celebration.

“It allows us to share and give back to the Native American communities as well as create an environ-ment where non-native [people] can come and ex-perience modern Native American culture,” wrote Delbert Willie, treasurer of

AISES, in an email to the Collegian. “We continually do this every year because we believe it is an opportu-nity to continually educate the CSU students and the Fort Collins community on the beauty of our heritage and culture.”

The Pow Wow was not

only a celebration for the Native American people in attendance, but also a cele-bration of the cultural sim-ilarities and differences be-tween peoples.

AISES will be arrang-ing more Native American celebrations and events throughout Native Amer-

ican Heritage month in November. For more in-formation, visit www.engr.colostate.edu/aises or the Native American Cultural Center in the LSC Rm. 218 for more information.

ASCSU and the Sustain-ability Department.

“We want to make sure ASCSU has a new stan-dard,” said Andrew Oring-er, the student director for the Sustainability Depart-ment.

Oringer was one of the few students who biked from the CSU plaza over to Hughes Stadium. The parade was held in order to educate students on the importance of bike safety as well as offer an alterna-tive method to driving to the game.

Although he said the turnout for the parade was low, Oringer was still glad that he was able to use a greener method to com-mute to the game.

The pumpkin smashing event and the bike parade were two new additions to

this year’s ASCSU tailgat-ing event. According to former Director of Student Services for ASCSU and current Marketing Associ-ate for CSU Athletics, Tim Brogdon, all of the chang-es to this year’s tailgate were benefiting the event immensely.

“They are in a much better spot this year than where we were last year,” he said. “We didn’t reach a lot of people last year, but now they are out in front of people raising awareness.”

ASCSU considers this to be one of the major marketing events they per-form a semester. Brogdon said that last year’s major events included Grill the Buffs, the tailgate event and the Buried Life’s visit to CSU.

caring. We’ll miss him.” Schnorr-Bergslien said she’ll never forget one of the last conversations she ever had with Gumina. She had called him, crying and deeply upset, after re-ceiving a poor grade on a test they had spent hours studying for.

“Stephanie, you only fail when you don’t try,” Gumina told her. “So we’re just going to give it our best next time. “

When she saw him lat-er that day, they went for a walk outside.

Schnorr-Bergslien said Gumina knew that most students in the low-er level statistics classes only had to pass the class as a requirement for other degree programs and he

would try so hard to get those students through the course, knowing it would probably be the last time they would ever use statistics.

As they were walk-ing, Gumina asked Schnorr-Bergslien to pick up a leaf and describe it. Af-ter she described the colors and vein patterns, he asked her to pick up another leaf and describe it as well.

“Both of them are different and unique in their own ways,’” Schnorr-Bergslien re-called Gumina saying. “They both have a pur-pose but in different ways. Your job is not to be a master statistician. Your job is to be unique.’”

One of the most basic tenets of modern business, copyright and trade-mark law is the doctrine of “First sale”. The idea behind this doctrine is to bal-ance the concerns of companies and producers with the common sense and practical actions of consumers.

The idea is that physical products that are copyrighted in America are al-lowed to be sold in a manner that the producer sees fit (when, where and for how much, etc.), however once this item has been sold, the producer loses all control over the product. In short, once something has been sold outright, the customer is free to resell the item as they see fit. This is how thrift stores, used book stores and Gamestop all stay in business.

Today the Supreme Court will weigh in on the case of John Wiley & Sons v. Kirtsaeng. The general premise of the case is that Supap Kirtsaeng discovered that many textbooks that the company John Wiley & Sons sells overseas are far cheaper than those sold in America.

So cheap in fact that Kirtsaeng had his family overseas buy books and ship them to America where Kirt-saeng would then resell them on eBay at a price point high enough to make a profit but still low enough to undercut

John Wiley & Sons sales here in Ameri-ca. Seems pretty straightforward, right? Capitalism at its finest.

Well, the thing about first sale doc-trine in America is that it covers Ameri-can made products. So what John Wiley & Sons are trying to argue is that since these foreign books are manufactured abroad and being imported they are ex-empt from the first-sale doctrine.

A Supreme Court ruling in favor of John Wiley & Sons means more than just a textbook manufacturer getting away with bullying an entrepreneurial spirit and getting away with extreme levels of price gouging here in America, it also sets a nasty precedent for the nu-merous items we use everyday.

Think about it: It’s easier to point out the things in your room that were made in America than those that were not. Clothes manufactured in Taiwan, computer parts from Thailand, or the near infinite num-ber of products imported from China.

Now on a personal level, direct per-son to person transactions will most likely not be affected simply because there is no easy way for a company to detect them. But large stores that deal in second-hand sales will most likely face increased pressure as will anyone selling such products online.

For example, all Apple would need to do to challenge a major sector of the second hand market is to write a script that looks over eBay and craigslist postings that contain the words iPad, iPhone, or iPod and simply send an au-tomated boiler plate cease and desist to the email address provided.

This is about more than the econ-omy though, this is about not giving corporations any more power over con-sumers than they already have. The sim-ple nature of corporations, large groups of humans organized around making large amounts of money, already makes

them more powerful than any one hu-man being, but the more laws that serve to favor a corporation over an individual simply widen the power gap.

If Mr. Kirtsaeng were buying text-books on the cheap in Broomfield and then undercutting the CSU bookstore here in Fort Collins, he would be laud-ed as an entrepreneur and a paragon of American capitalism.

There is nothing intrinsically dif-ferent about a textbook printed in America and a textbook printed over-seas, and there is no reason — except for the greed of humans — that first sale doctrine should not apply.

What this case really boils down to is that John Wiley & Sons inflated the price of textbooks in this market for the sake of profiteering and someone found a way to burst this little textbook bubble.

Then, rather than graciously bow to the invisible hand and lower their prices to something more reasonable, this company has decided to twist and abuse the word of the law while ignor-ing the spirit in an attempt to maintain a stranglehold on their prices, and in the process undermine the rights of consumers under first sale doctrine.

One of the core tenets of capitalism is that when you buy a physical product, that physical product is yours to do with what you will. I think the fact that there is even a debate about this is absurd and shows just how much pressure corpora-tions exert on our judicial system.

Corporations don't need any more help from the law and any ruling other than one in favor of Mr. Kirtsaeng will just be further proof that the needs of the people are not the main priority of our government.

Hopefully by now, you’ve learned that, at least accord-ing to an article on CNN.com, women’s votes are in-fluenced by their hormones.

And if you haven’t heard about it, good luck finding it on CNN’s web-site: After a fairly justifiable public outrage, CNN took the story down, replac-ing it with an editor’s note claiming that “after further review, it was determined that some elements of the story did not meet the ed-itorial standards of CNN.”

A statement later re-leased by CNN’s public relations team sheds fur-ther light on the (lack of) editorial process behind the story, saying “it’s worth noting that the post in question did not channel through the standard inter-nal process and it was not reviewed by the senior edi-torial staff before appearing on CNN.com.”

It’s good that they’re recognizing this story was a non-story. But it’s bad that they’re not apologizing to their readers, and offering more of an explanation.

But more important-ly, CNN’s response simply proves that they still don’t grasp the power of the Internet — taking some-thing down may eliminate the barrage of comments that an irresponsible sto-ry might produce, but it doesn’t mean that it’s gone from public conscience.

The Daily Kos, a demo-cratic blog, has posted the full text of the story — some-thing that’s easy to find with a simple Google search. Multiple other media outlets have screenshots of CNN’s initial post, and it’s easy to find Twitter reactions lam-basting CNN for publishing the story in the first place.

One could argue that taking down the post was a symbolic action by CNN: They were acknowledging that the journalism involved was not up to par, and were trying to show their audi-ence that it did not meet the paper’s editorial standards.

Nevertheless, taking the article down has gener-ated almost as much con-troversy as the article itself, and, in my mind, it back-

fired. It took away from the public’s trust in CNN, rath-er than reinforced it.

According to an article on the Poynter Institute’s website, 78.2 percent of ed-itors at the 110 newspapers certified said there were rea-sons to remove content from their publication’s websites.

The reasons they identi-fied ranged from if offending stories were totally wrong, if a writer felt like they were going to be embarrassed or if a source expressed re-morse — all of these could, theoretically, be in line with CNN’s reasons behind re-moving the story.

However, CNN had none of these justifications. Foremost, the writer firmly stands by her post, as does the researcher who started it all. Sure, it was going off of a very questionable study, but clearly some editor assigned it to the writer, and the writer did try to balance the story with dissenting viewpoints.

The reason why CNN took down the story was to get rid of the embarrass-ment it generated. But you just can’t do that online — much like the ugly picture I took for the Collegian last year while wearing a stained t-shirt that shows up whenever you Google me, CNN can’t simply pre-tend like it didn’t post a story about how periods impact voting.

So what should CNN have done instead? They could have done what the Columbia Journalism Re-view did earlier this year, when they received flak for a story about how Israel imprisons more journalists per capita than any other country that relied entirely on faulty statistics.

Rather than taking the story down, the editor ad-mitted that the whole basis for the story was wrong, and then created a forum for the post’s author and dissenting voices to debate about what the post stood for.

Sure, it was embar-rassing for the Columbia Journalism Review (which has posted A LOT about journalists using shod-dy numbers), but instead of taking the post down, they acknowledged that it wasn’t going away, and instead, took advantage of the internet as a platform and generated discussion.

Some people say that a newspaper lasts forever, but in reality, the Internet lasts way longer.

Go Rams! This weekend we actually saw our stalwart Ram team tear the enemy’s line asun-der — unfortunately the stands were relatively empty of students celebrating their team’s success.

What is the reason for such poor attendance? Was it just because it was cold out? Is it because they stop selling beer a few minutes into the third quar-ter (Probably)? Usually, when you ask students that never at-tend why, a common response is because we never win, but we actually won this weekend and what support we had left before the end of the game.

There are plenty of football

programs across the country that have terrible teams and

their fans still support them. Some of this can be attributed to a stronger football culture, but for the most part students show up in because they’re supporting

the people, not the record.We’ve got to stop being fair

weather fans. Our teams will perform much better if they have a loud and rowdy crowd to support them — win or lose. Yes we haven’t won many games, but we sure beat CU and had a great performance against Hawai’i.

Our football team came through on their part and won us a game. We fans let them down by not supporting them. As Thomas Paine wrote, “These are the times that try men’s souls,” but being a true loyal supporter means fighting for your side, no matter the circumstances.

Guest ColumnThere are many good

reasons to elect Karen Stock-ley to the Larimer County Commission. Among the most compelling:

Approximately 19,000 ac-tive fracking wells lie just east of us in Weld County. Larimer County sits above the same Niobrara Formation as Weld County and is also considered

desirable for heavy fracking.The fracking promot-

ers have already crossed the county line and are begin-ning operations in Loveland. Imagine how we'd feel with 1,000 new wells throughout Larimer County, let alone 19,000.

All three Larimer Coun-ty Commissioners are fail-

ing to protect the interests of the citizens. One of them is being challenged for re-election. We can place a citizen-focused voice on the Board.

Consider the downsides of fracking:Public health issues

Toxic chemicals are forced through our fresh water

tables; polluted, non-recycla-ble sludge is pumped back up.

Toxic emissions are re-leased from toxic waste stor-age facilities, pipelines and combustors. Neither the state nor the industry is commit-ted to adequately monitoring these pollutants or measuring their health hazards.Private property concerns

Ask how much an oil rig a few hundred feet from your home would add to its value.Public costs

Non-reimbursed dam-age to roads.

Emergency services training and response for wellsite failures.

Diversion and destruc-

tion of untold billions of gal-lons of agricultural and do-mestic water.

Karen Stockley is com-mitted to putting the in-terests of the citizen above those of an industry un-concerned with our well being.

While the Rams played sloppy, Hawai’i had its share of mistakes as well. The Warriors committed five turnovers in the game, the most critical one coming at the end of the game.

While trailing by 35-27 and driving down the field, Hawai’i quarterback Sean Schroeder threw an interception to CSU de-fensive back Jasen Oden, who returned the ball 40 yards for a touchdown and sealed the victory for the Rams.

“This one hurts a lot,” Hawai’i wide receiver Billy Ray Strutzmann said. “Be-ing in it the whole game

and then giving it away at the end. We had a lot of opportunities that we let down, and it just got away from us.”

The Rams hope the win will give them momentum heading into their game with rival Wyoming, which CSU plays Saturday after-noon on the road.

“The win was good for our team,” CSU lineback-er Shaquil Barrett said. “It boosted our confidence, and when we go to Wyo-ming we’re going to be on the high horse, and we’re going to try to not let any-one knock us off of it.”

fball | Survives due to Hawai’i mistakes

The stage is set and the

lights are on a brand new fashion magazine called “The Fashion Report” for those who want a taste of local and inter-national fashion news.

Fashion Group Interna-tional (FGI) is behind the start of the first ever CSU fashion magazine after mem-bers saw similar magazines at other universities.

“My background with photo shoots, paired with Fashion Group Internation-al’s support, created the per-fect platform to launch the magazine,” Editor-In-Chief Kiah Kristine said in an email to the Collegian.

The first issue, which is out today, will be an on-line-only, free publication dis-tributed through issuu.com until the necessary funds are raised to start printing.

“We hope to distribute

through FGI once we start printing and use fundrais-ing tools such as kickstarter.com, as well as events like our clothing swap, to help with costs,” Kristine said in text message to the Collegian.

Coming out with their first issue is no easy task, but along with the officers of FGI, there are over 20 con-tributors as well as CSU stu-dents in Denver and abroad to help cover every angle.

“We are directed at af-fordable fashion that is at-tainable for college students. ‘The Fashion Report’ won’t just have what celebrities are wearing but will include lo-cal businesses and what CSU students can get a hold of,” said Payton Gifford, a mem-ber of the photoshoot team.

The magazine looks to have contributors from all walks of life. Most are appar-el design or merchandising students, but business and journalism students will

also contribute, according to Kristine. Kristine said that one of the goals of the mag-azine is to include students from many departments.

Design Director Verretta Andersen said the magazine allows students to get involved.

“This fashion magazine is a way for us all to get involved and gain experience while bringing students together and showing the commu-nity what we are passionate about,” Anderson said.

The first issue will have a lot on local businesses, such as modeling the clothes of GG Boutique on Laurel Street and additional stories on fashion shows that have been based in Denver and street styles around campus.

“It is an awesome mix of Colorado casual and things you don’t usually find around FoCo,” Kristine said.

Going along with the season, the first issue will include clothes with a mul-

titude of fall colors that can be seen around Fort Collins.

Each issue will be fo-cusing on different fashion trends and will look to high-light looks popular around Fort Collins as well as those associated with the FGI fash-ion shows.

The fashion show held annually in December will have an apocalypse theme this year. Entrants will create clothes from recycled materi-al to go along with the idea of creating clothes with limited supplies. To go along with this theme, “The Fashion Report” will work with FGI to create an issue that showcases the apparel from the show.

“We want to make fashion interesting and an important part of Fort Collins through our magazine and we will do so through visually appealing issues,” Andersen said.

News Reporter Mooni-er Said can be reached at [email protected].

From left to right, Writer Emily Koziel, Editor in Chief Kiah Kristine, Writer Brittan Hughes and Staff Member Kalyn Bessert pose in GG Boutique on Wednesday afternoon. The Fashion Report magazine is being published for its first time today.

The more things change, the more they stay the same for CSU men’s basketball.

In a 87-67 victory over Metro State in their opening exhibition game on Sun-day, seniors Pierce Hornung and Greg Smith picked up right where they left off last season, each adding dou-ble-doubles for CSU.

But new players also shined, like transfer guards Daniel Bejarano and Jon Octeus, who took turns run-ning the offense while com-bining for 19 points and 12 rebounds in 31 minutes of playing time.

Highly-touted transfer Colton Iverson, who gives the Rams more size at 6-foot-10, struggled in his fi rst game at CSU, grabbing seven rebounds, but turning the ball over four times in 23 minutes of action.

“I just think he was a lit-tle nervous,” CSU coach Lar-ry Eustachy said. “And we are going to limit his game with the dribbles. He will be really effective before (the presea-

son is) over.”The Rams worked six

players who were not on the team last year into the exhibi-tion in hopes of getting them accustomed to playing with the older players on the team.

“That’s why these exhi-bitions are so good, every-one kind of fi gures out their roles,” Hornung said. “And you get chemistry amongst the team, and it’s a good chance to improve on that.”

One of the Rams that may have to adjust to a new role this season is junior guard Dwight Smith, who factored prominently in the Rams’ run to the NCAA Tour-nament last season.

Smith only played in the last three minutes of the ex-hibition Sunday, a move Eu-stachy said is meant to send a message to Smith to perform better in practice in order to compete with the new talent.

“I had guys in there that were new, so I’ve got a lot of confi dence in them,” Eu-stachy said. “I think Dwight has got the message that he’s gotta work harder or he’s gonna bury himself.”

The Rams rotated in elev-en men in the exhibition game, but Eustachy said after the game that he will run an eight or nine-man rotation when the season starts, leaving little

margin of error for players like Octeus and Dwight Smith who are competing for a limited amount of minutes.

The players that do get out onto the fl oor for the

Rams during the regular season will have to learn Eustachy’s offense quickly, as the Rams have said they have only installed one play so far this offseason.

A remedy for the lack of structure in the offense could be getting out in tran-sition, something the Rams excelled at during their ex-hibition, scoring 26 total points off fast break points and points off turnovers.

“Coach has expressed that he wants us to run and we have the depth and ca-pability of doing so,” senior guard Wes Eikmeier said. “So we’re gonna take advan-tage of missed shots and the players that we have and get up and down the fl oor. So he’ll get us in the right posi-tion to win the game.”

Strong service pressure and an effi cient, well-dis-tributed attack allowed CSU to dispatch Nevada quickly Saturday night in Reno, Nev.

The Rams hit .323 and held Nevada to a .093 hitting percentage en route to a quick 3-0 win. The Wolfpack never scored more than 18 in any set.

CSU’s defense kept all of Nevada’s attackers in check, and pinpoint passing al-lowed setter Deedra Foss to pick and choose her sets all over the court.

“The ball was distribut-ed well and we had match-ups that worked,” CSU coach Tom Hilbert said. “Megan (Plourde) was hitting over a kid she could just destroy and Deej was getting her the ball in a way that allowed her to do that.”`Plourde fi nished with

11 kills and a .421 hitting percentage to go along with four blocks. She was one of four Rams with more than 18 attacks and a hitting per-centage above .286.

Senior Dana Cranston lead the team with a .435 hit-ting percentage and 12 kills to go along with eight digs. Ne-vada gave Cranston a sharp cut shot all night, and she continued to punish them.

All four of CSU’s seniors took over the game collec-tively at a point when the Rams needed a road victory to avoid their third losing streak of the year.

“We know that it’s com-ing down to the wire, and we know we have to perform every game,” Cranston said.

CSU’s defense per-formed outstanding in all facets of the game. The Rams knocked down six total blocks and “touch blocked”

many other balls that Neva-da covered and kept alive.

Nevada outside hitters Elissa Ji and Grace Anxo combined for seven kills and a -.023 hitting percentage.

“Their outside hitters can’t kill balls on us, they had to go to their middles and right side player and couldn’t do that,” Hilbert said. “They hit a lot of unforced errors because when they get in rallies they hit high because they’re intimidated by us.”

CSU dominated stretches of all three sets with long point runs powered by Dri Culbert’s serving, culminating in a 16-6 run to end the third set.

“She was super consis-tent and really powered us through them, she didn’t miss,” Cranston said.

The win propelled CSU into a tie for second place in the Mountain West with San Diego State, which the Rams

lost to on Oct. 25. Both teams trail UNLV by a half game in the conference standings.

CSU will renew its Bor-der War rivalry with Wyo-ming Friday in Laramie for its next match.

“We had good focus to-night, and we absolutely need-ed this win,” Hilbert said. “We are in a race for this conference championship, and we have to beat people on the road. It doesn’t matter who it is.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (10/29/12). You’re in the money this year, so stash some and budget for the future. Volatility at work reveals opportunities. Consider your core values, dreams and passions. Stay fl exible about what the big picture looks like. Take leadership.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easi-est day, 0 the most challenging.

ARIES (Mar. 21-April 19) ––6–– For the next few days, work out the fi nancial details and fi gure out ways to improve the bottom line. Get the word out. Friends give you a boost.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)––8–– Consider all possibilities. Now you’re a genius at everything that you commit yourself to. And for about nine weeks, you’re even good at fi nancial planning. Repeat what you think you heard.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ––5–– Communication with your partner is more direct and helpful. Start by cleaning up old messes. An older person meets you halfway.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ––7–– It’ll be easier to fi gure out the job, now and for the next few weeks. Your priorities evolve or drastically change. Keep everyone on the right track. Stash away the surplus.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ––7–– It’s easier to make decisions now and to express your love. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, regardless. There’s a turning point regarding a boss or em-ployee.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ––7–– Concentrate on your stud-ies. It’s time fi x up your place and take it to the next level. No more procrastinating! Others look to you for practical advice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ––5–– Deal with fi nancial obliga-tions now, and consider higher values. Identify the potential for opportunity, and take action for success. The resources are available.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ––7–– Your mind is less into work and more into enlightenment now. For three weeks, confi dent productivity leaves time for introspection. Keep your dollars, and study authors who inspire.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ––6––You’re out in public and open for love. Provide for others. Treat them as you’d like to be treated. Go ahead and try a new exotic dish. Learn something new.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ––8–– Find balance between sensitivity and reason, without one overpowering the other. Enjoy romantic moments through most of tomorrow. The truth gets revealed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ––8–– You’re entering a three-week social phase. Use your imagination and connections for positive change. Communications could falter. Notice the bottleneck before you get stuck in it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ––7–– You’ll fi nally fi gure it out, and it will be easier to advance than you imagine. Work with others to avoid confl icts later. New evidence threatens com-placency.

Moby Arena’s resume includes 8,745 seats that have played host for con-certs like The Fray and Steve Miller Band on top of the basketball and volley-ball we get every year.

Throughout the course of the school year, thou-sands of tickets will be sold for Moby’s events.

A portion of those sales come from the CSU wom-en’s basketball team. How-ever, women’s basketball sells just a fraction of Moby tickets—a fraction that needs to be larger than the number we now see.

We all know that wom-en’s basketball doesn’t get the time of day it deserves and I will be the first to ad-mit that I am guilty of con-tributing to this.

I never took the time to think about why this was and couldn’t come up with a valid reason. After all, sports consume a huge part of my life and there’s no way I could hate it. So maybe it’s time to ponder getting more involved with women’s basketball.

As the CSU women’s basketball season is upon us, we better ponder fast.

Thursday night will be the first time the women’s basketball team will hit the court this season and junior forward Sam Mar-tin is already appreciative of anyone who will be in attendance.

“If we have a lot of fans

it makes a huge difference for us when we’re playing. Getting to play in that at-mosphere means alot to any athlete — especially us,” Martin said.

Martin and her whole team are working to spread the word in effort to get more supporters at their games, a bandwagon I have already hopped on and would love some others to accompany my member-ship.

If you’re going to offer your support to someone, at least support the ones who appreciate it.

The men’s basketball team might be numb to home crowds because they are used to seeing a num-ber of people at their games significantly larger than the amount of people that show up for their female counterparts.

The ladies pay their dues just like the guys and yet they still struggle to see a payout from the public.

“Any sporting event you get the chance to go to is worth being a part of. It’s fun to go to the games and enjoy it. I think we’ve got a good team this year and honestly, anyone would enjoy coming to watch us play,” Martin said.

The CSU women’s bas-ketball team hasn’t seen a record-breaking crowd in 13 years. It happened one Saturday afternoon in 1999 when most of us were preoccupied watching car-toons on Nickelodeon.

So it seems as though the might be a little past due, and it is our respon-sibility as a CSU commu-nity to help renew that for them.

Rams salvage a much needed win

The CSU football team man-aged to put together a win for the first time in seven weeks Saturday against Hawai’i, but many problems for the Rams still linger on the field.

Some positive signs beamed through the shaky win, like Chris Nwoke’s 115-yard rushing perfor-mance, though the Rams still man-aged to repeatedly commit costly mistakes, including Nwoke’s two fumbles in the game.

The first of the fumbles came on just the second offensive play for the Rams, when Nwoke coughed the ball up at the Rams’ 12-yard line and Hawai’i linebacker Jerrol Gar-cia-Williams snatched the ball and took it into the end zone for the game’s first touchdown.

“You can’t play the game if you put it on the ground,” CSU coach Jim McElwain said. “We gave them their first touchdown like we have a couple other times by putting the ball on the ground.”

In addition to Nwoke’s two fum-bles, running back Tommey Morris added one fumble and third-string quarterback Conner Smith, who was making his first start since high school, threw two interceptions.

“Me and Tommey, we do our run-ning, and that’s something we both

have to work on, holding on to that rock,” Nwoke said. “It’s unfortunate and it came at a critical moment.”

But despite the turnovers, CSU was able to hold on to the game largely due to the inability of the Ha-wai’i offense to capitalize on all the Rams’ mistakes.

After being set up with field po-sition on the CSU side of the field four consecutive times in the third quarter, due to three turnovers and a blocked punt, the Warriors put just six points on the board.

“It was awful. It was terrible,” Hawai’i coach Norm Chow said of his team’s inability to capitalize on the turnovers. “That’s what cost us the ball game. Our defense really stood up and played and we didn’t take advantage of it offensively.”

With first and goal loom-ing from the 5-yard line, line-backer James Skelton found himself lined up behind the center about to take a snap at quarterback, something he’d never done outside of practice.

Skelton had played both ways in high school, but nev-er quarterback.

In all reality he was a running back and the mis-sion was clear — score. And for the first time in his CSU career Skelton did just that.

“I can’t describe some-thing like that,” Skelton said after the 42-27 win over Ha-wai’i. “I’m just fortunate the hole was so big, so I can thank the o-line for that one.”

Skelton finished with just three carries for 13 yards, but sparked his team. The touchdown put the Rams

on top 21-14 with 12:50 left in the first quarter, their first lead of the game. CSU didn’t trail again for the rest of the night.

While Skelton seemed hardly phased by the fact he played several snaps out of the wildcat for-mation, his defen-sive teammates were thrilled to see their middle linebacker get the sort of attention usually reserved for quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers.

“I came over there and (we) just smiled at each oth-er and I gave him a high five and a hug. I told him how good he looked out there running the ball,” linebacker Shaquil Barrett said. “Hope-fully there’s some more to come for the wildcat for

Skelly. It was a good feeling.”Skelton, a senior, was

nearly four years into his ca-reer without a single point credited to his name. Not an interception or a lucky fum-

ble had bounced his way. Needless to say he never imagined getting his chance at glory on the oth-er side of scrim-mage.

“No I didn’t (see myself scor-ing on offense), I definitely didn’t, but I’m just hap-py it happened,”

he said. “I’d be fine with (moving to offense). I know this is high school football, but I played both ways in high school. I’d be fine to do whatever I can for the team.”

CSU coach Jim McEl-wain first had the idea to

insert Skelton on offense simply because he could hold onto the ball. The idea turned into reps at practice and McElwain saw enough to implement his new weap-on in the game plan.

“I said ‘this guy will hold onto the ball, he’s tough and it means something to him,’ I’m ready to put him back there full time,” McEl-wain joked after the game. “I’m ready to, but they won’t let me on defense because they’re so thin, but we’ll keep that package in.”
