The puck drops hereUK hockey beats Ohio University in both weekend games

On the same day former UKquarterback Bill Ransdall, the lastquarterback to defeat Florida,

was inducted into the UK Athlet-ics Hall of Fame, the Gators wereseeking their 25th consecutivewin over the Cats. Florida madesure the streak was never indoubt, beating up on UK early

and often on its way to a 48-10victory Saturday in Common-wealth Stadium.

“Our kids are fighting,scratching and clawing,” UKhead coach Joker Phillips said.“We’re just not playing verysmart. They’ll continue to fight.I believe in those guys, butwe’ve got to get some thingscorrected, and this begins withme.”

The Cats, who have had trou-ble getting going at the start ofgames this year, got off to a hotstart against Florida Saturday,forcing a three-and-out by theGators deep in their own territoryoff the opening kickoff. The Catshung with the Gators’ athleticpro-style offense, trading puntsearly.

But with the UK offensedriving mid-way through the firstquarter, freshman running backJosh Clemons fumbled the ball,turning it over to Florida. On thenext play, Florida quarterback

John Brantley found his tight endGerald Christian open deep downthe middle of the field for a 45-yard touchdown.

After that, the floodgatesopened and UK was never ableto threaten its SEC East counter-part again. The offense struggledonce again, suffering missedblocks, poor communication,dropped passes and turnovers.UK turned the ball over fourtimes on the evening, includingtwo interceptions and a fumbleon the goal line by MorganNewton, as well as the Clemonsfumble.

“Something has to change,something has to give, and rightnow we’re not taking care of thefootball,” junior wide receiverLa’Rod King said. “You can’tdo that. Four turnovers —you’re not beating a team, likenobody. So that has to changequick.”

The graduates from theUK College of Nursing willno longer be receiving whitecoats commemorating theirgraduation.

Since 2006, the Collegeof Nursing Alumni Associa-tion has been gifting whitecoats to nursing school grad-

uates upon their completionof the program.

Aimee Baston, director ofAlumni and Development forthe college, said the decisionto discontinue the gifting ofthe white coats to nursinggraduates was multi-faceted.

“Given that the whitecoats are not a part of the tra-dition of the nursing disci-pline, the expense associated

with the gifting, the change inthe Alumni Association duesstructure, and the fact thatgraduates from the programreported that they did notwear the white coat, the deci-sion was made,” she said inan email to the Kernel.

Shannon Tuemler, a nurs-ing senior, said the white coatsare symbolic of the hard workthey have put in over the

course of four years in theprogram.

“I understand that fromthe outside it may seem like awasted expense, but to the stu-dents it can mean muchmore,” Tuemler said.

Baston said the Collegeof Nursing Alumni Associa-tion used to charge dues tomembers to fund selectedprojects including the white

coat gifting, but has eliminat-ed dues to more fully engagethe alumni.

The coats ranged from$22.50 to $25.50 per student,depending on size, Bastonsaid. The College of Nursingclass sizes have doubledsince the white coat giftingbegan, increasing the finan-cial impact on the associa-tion’s funds.

Pat Burkhart, dean of Un-dergraduate Studies, said thecollege of nursing coveredthe expense for the coats lastyear so as not to disappointstudents who expected to re-ceive a coat. The college willnot do so this year.

Burkhart spoke with stu-dents about the issue and said

ISU presidentdecisionexpectedTuesday

My unbiased opinions are slowly begin-ning to echo those of the fan base; simply,the offense must change for the betterment of

the program.Before I get too involved

with what you are about toread, let me make it clearthat I firmly believe UKhead coach Joker Phillipsand offensive coordinatorRandy Sanders have earnedtheir positions on this team.The evidence is there thateach can coach.

A few examples includePeyton Manning, AndreWoodson and RandallCobb.

That being said, I’ll proceed to the point.The offense has become stagnant, boring,

predictable and repetitive. Basically, chooseyour poison when labeling this offense be-cause it probably will accurately describe it.

The days of the draw and bubble screensmust go. Read that thoroughly, they MUSTgo.

The opposition, most commonly theSEC, loaded with speed and strength on de-fense, is smart enough to know when theyare constantly being thrown the same set ofplays year in and year out.

A couple of instances during UK’s 48-10loss to Florida that show this predictabilitywere when UK attempted its same predictabledraw play that we often see on first, secondand sometimes even third down, during back-

to-back plays. Keep in mind, it happened morethan once.

If the Cats managed a gain their first try,then their second attempt was surely to end ina loss.

That repetition on Saturday is what led toa lack of yards for the UK offense for part ofthe game. Just when you thought that nolight could be shined down upon them,Phillips threw the no-huddle into the equa-tion.

Phillips first implemented it toward theend of the Louisville game, and despite theloss, it was rather effective in leading UK ona scoring drive in the waning moments.

UK might find out Tuesday af-ternoon whether or not it will needto find a new provost.

Iowa State University is ex-pected to evaluate its two presiden-tial finalists Monday, which in-

clude UK ProvostKumble Sub-baswamy, accord-ing to The Asso-ciated Press.

The IowaBoard of Regentswill interviewSubbaswamy andthe other candi-date, Steven

Leath, vice president for researchand sponsored programs at theUniversity of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

The Board is expected to an-nounce its selection Tuesday after-noon.

UK Spokesman Jay Blantonsaid the university hasn’t decidedwhat it will do if Subbaswamy ischosen, “because we aren’t at thatjuncture.”

Iowa State spokesman JohnMcCarroll told the Kernel Sept. 19that the committee began its searchfor a new president in June, aftercurrent president Gregory Geoffroyannounced his retirement in March.

Subbaswamy visited IowaState University’s campus lastWednesday through Friday to meetwith different university groups,according to an Iowa State newsrelease.

UC Irvine regained the Guinness worldrecord for the largest dodgeball game in theworld with more than 4,000 people participat-ing.

The record had been set 10 times accord-ing to Guniness world record official DannyL. Girton Jr., who was in attendance to verifythe record. The first attempt was in 2008 bythe band Weezer with 100 people, accordingto Girton. UCI set the record in Sept. 2010,with 1,745 players as part of “WelcomeWeek” for incoming freshmen.

The record was last officially broken bythe Rochester Institute of Technology with2,136 players yet an Air Force Academy at-tempt had been pegged between 3,000 and4,000 players. Guinness had been waiting for

documentation that would have verified thatattempt when UC Irvine announced its attemptas part of the 2011 “Welcome Week.”

The first time the event was just for fresh-men, but this time it was moved from indoorsat the Bren Events Center to a 300-foot-by-100-foot portion of the outdoor UCI recreationfields.

According to the rules, there needed to beone ball for every four players, and there were1,000 balls. Though UCI counted several hun-dred in attendance beyond the 4,000, the offi-cial record stands at 4,000 and should be up-dated on the Guinness World Record websitewithin a week.

early fumble that shifted the mo-mentum in Florida’s favor, left thegame with a strained hamstring,leaving Phillips to rely primarily onthird-string junior running backCoShik Williams. The offensiveline, which consisted of UK’s fiveoriginal preseason starters for thefirst time in 2011, was still unable toestablish any kind of running threat.UK rushed for a quiet 134 yards forthe game.

But the Cats’ struggles in therun game were dwarfed by their in-consistency passing the ball. New-ton looked anxious in the pocket,forcing throws high or into trafficwhile missing open receivers inspace. When Newton was able toget the ball to his targets, they hadtrouble holding onto the football,whether it be dropped passes, fum-bles or deflections resulting in in-terceptions.

“Turnovers will kill you, andthey did,” Newton said. “That gavethem short fields and a lot of goodteams are going to capitalize onthose short fields and get somepoints out of them. We just have to

do better in that regard.”The defense, which held its

ground against Florida offensive co-ordinator Charlie Weis’ explosiveoffense early, wore down as thegame progressed and was unable tokeep the Cats in the game while theoffense faltered.

“They were fast,” senior line-backer Ronnie Sneed, a Florida na-tive, said. “We always feel like wehave a good shot at beating anyteam. When we come out and thescore is run up, it gets under yourskin and we just have to go back tothe drawing boards and try to fig-ure out what we did wrong andwhat we need to do to correct thoseissues.”

The Cats’ defense allowed Flori-da to gain 520 total yards for thegame, as opposed to just 299 fromUK. Brantley finished the gamewith 115 yards through the air andone touchdown, but it was Florida’sground game that left the Cats help-less in their home stadium.

Florida running backs ChrisRainey, Jeff Demps and MikeGillislee combined for 31 rushes for346 yards and three touchdowns,and Trey Burton, another runningback who scored six times againstUK in 2010, carried the ball six

times for 33 yards and a touchdownof his own.

“The speed of the game, it’skind of like lightning struck the out-house and we were in it,” UK co-de-fensive coordinator Rick Mintersaid. “Our kids, they try hard, butthe speed of that game is as fast agame as you’ll see all year becauseof the speed of the players.”

Senior linebacker Danny Tre-vathan did his best to keep UKclose, clobbering Brantley in thesecond quarter, forcing a fumblethat would lead to UK’s only touch-down of the evening and knockingBrantley out of the game for the re-mainder of the half. Still, UK trailed31-10 at halftime, and UK was nev-er able to scratch and claw its wayback into the game.

In the fourth quarter, Phillips re-moved Newton from the game forfreshman backup quarterbackMaxwell Smith. For the quarter,Smith was 6-11 for 41 yards, butPhillips said the Cats do not have aquarterback controversy.

“Every opportunity we have toget Max in the game, we will, andwe had an opportunity tonight,”Phillips said. “If we’re strugglingat quarterback, we know that theguy can go in there and handle

himself. He did a decent jobtonight, so this experience gives usthat opportunity.”

The focus for the Cats now turnsto a visit to No. 1 ranked LSU onOct. 1. Newton said he treats eachweek like its own one-game season,and that he will learn from the lossand move on. But after losses the

last two weeks, a road game againstLSU is a daunting task, and Minteris aware of the situation his teamfaces.

“In football, you’re only as goodas your last time out, so we’re notvery good tonight, not very goodlast week,” Minter said. “We got alot of work to do.”

in her experience the studentsdid not have a problem withthe discontinuation of the pro-gram.

After the meeting withclass officers, Burkhart saidshe got the impression thatstudents understood why theprogram had been cut.

Kristyn Mickley, senior

officer for the May graduatingclass, was not disappointedwith the decision made by thecollege’s alumni association.

“The white coat gift issomething the students havealways appreciated but havefelt it was something that ismore useful for our respectedmedical students who wearthem in the hospital,”Mickley said in an email tothe Kernel.

What students look for-

ward to has traditionally beenthe pinning ceremony, whichstudents will still have,Burkhart said.

“The white coats are real-ly nothing like the capstonepin of the nursing program,”Burkhart said. “Nursingschools across the countryhave their own pin.”

Baston also said the pin-ning ceremony is a specialevent for the graduating stu-dents, unique to the nursing

discipline.“The pinning ceremony is

the traditional way to recog-nize the significance of enter-ing the profession of nursing,”she said. “The college ofNursing is very pleased tocontinue the tradition.”

Although current nursingstudents may not be aware ofthe white coat, some saidthey are disappointed thatthey will not be receiving thesame honors as the graduatesbefore them.

“I think that graduating

from the college of nursing ishighly prestigious,” AshleyHuckaby, a nursing senior,said. “And I wish the programwas not discontinued becausenurses are just as important inthe multidisciplinary healthcare field.”

For the last five weeksthe University of Kentuckywas the home and familyfor 25 German Fulbrightstudents. Now it is timeto say goodbye.

On Aug. 19, the stu-dents came to Kentucky toattendschool at UK, andSaturday the airplane tookthem back to Germany.

Living in the dorms,attending a special com-munication class, visitingseveral other classes andjust communicating with

the people around them,the students experiencedthe American way of life,an experience they willnever forget.

Far away from home,they stepped into a com-pletely new world, a com-pletely new culture andlearned a lot from the peo-ple here. They made newfriends, and some madereal friendships; they werea part of UK, a part of theBig Blue.

I am a part of that Ger-man Fulbright group and Iwant to tell you some ofour experiences during our

time here. The Americanculture and the way of lifeare so much different herethan in Germany and everyday was a kind of explo-ration. The nice peoplehere in Kentucky, theoverwhelming atmosphereat UK and our curiositymade this trip perfect andunforgettable. Gizem Ya-maç, a fellow Fulbrighter,said, “In my memories Iwill always keep the warmand smiling people ofKentucky and the atmos-phere on the campus. Atmy university I will tellthe other students about

the open relationship be-tween the professors andstudents here in the USAbecause it is so muchwarmer. I think for me itwas not the last trip to theUSA.”

Viorel Borgovan, an-other Fulbright student thisyear, said, “It was thehappiest time of my life.The time here over-matched all my expecta-tions. I will always re-member the people here,because without themKentucky would be just arandom place. Thank youto everyone for the experi-

ence.”I also want to thank

everyone who made thesefive weeks so beautiful.The love and kindness ofthe people filled our heartswith happiness and now itis filled with sadness. Butno matter what the timewill bring us, we will al-ways remember this placeas our old and new Ken-tucky home. Thank you.

also susceptible to the fast-paced style the Cats surprisedthem with. They were as vul-nerable as, well, the UK de-fense when Jeff Demps orChris Rainey got into theopen field.

While the Cats may havestill lost 48-10, their ability tomove the ball in the no-hud-dle can be seen as a glimmerof hope for the future.

It resulted in each of theCats’ scores, but was seen lit-tle in the second half due tothe game being out of reachand new faces like freshmanquarterback Maxwell Smithand sophomore running backJonathan George seeing somemuch-needed playing time.

“Operating in a no-hud-dle gives us a little bit moretime to operate,” said offen-sive coordinator RandySanders.

“Probably 80 percent” ofthe game was run in no-hud-dle, Sanders said. “Morgan

did a good job of handling it.The line, having those fiveexperienced guys out therehelped us."

Its one fault may be anincreased number ofturnovers, mainly due to theteam not having enough ex-perience with the system, butin time that wound will healitself.

In Wednesday’s column Ispoke of using this game as atrial and error because it is agame most experts expectedthe Cats to lose. In addition,the offense that has been puton the field against subparteams lacked the offensiveintuition demonstrated amongthe rest of UK’s SECbrethren.

So I ask you, Phillips,Sanders, whoever wants torespond, what would it hurtto be more varied with theplay calling of a team thathas nowhere to go but up. Ifthe no-huddle must be theCats’ calling card or a gim-mick offense such as the AirRaid of the 90s, then so be it.

The Cats have games ap-

proaching that have similarscenarios as presented tothem with the Gators. Theodds are against you, sothrow Louisiana State, SouthCarolina and MississippiState a curveball that mayknock them in the side ofthe head. This is the kind ofrepetition needed becauseafter all, practice makes per-fect.

Phillips has a lot to gainfrom this. If he continues toallow this offensive freedom,not only can he help improvewhat appears to be a mental-ly lost offense, but he can getsome fans back on his side.

With the season possibly awash at this point, albeit early,this is going to open his criticsup to showing some respect tothe second-year head coach nomatter what may happen atseason’s end.

Well, he still needs tobeat Tennessee, so let’s notget ahead of ourselves. Bythen though, maybe, justmaybe, this offense will looklike it has Manning fluentlyrunning the no-huddle.

PORTERContinued from page 1

Friday night was a chancefor the UK men’s soccer teamto get back on track after along road trip and loss to theNo. 3 team in the nation.

After a back-and-forthmatch, UK scored the win-ning goal off a free kick inthe last five minutes for a 3-2win over Evansville.

In the 85th minute and thescore tied, Evansville’s LuisRomero earned a yellow card.The ensuing UK free kick,taken by Marco Bordon,rumbled around in the boxuntil Sam Brooks flew intothe back post and knocked theball into the net to give theCats the lead and ultimatelythe win.

“When the ball came in,my eyes kind of lit up and Isaw it and I just put it in,”Brooks said. “It was a goodwin for us.”

The game did not begin

well for UK, however, asEvansville scored after just 33seconds through Tad Krea-maimeyer, as he chipped itjust over goalie Tyler Bea-dle’s head.
