Police Beat

Sept. 24 Theft (Lot 15) - An officer met with a complainant who said she last saw her bicycle chained outside Building Q Monday evening. The following morning, the complainant returned to the rack and her bicycle was missing. The complainant found the chain that was used to secure the bike broken and in the dirt. There are no current suspects.

Sept. 26 Sick Person (Osprey Crossings) – An officer met with a complainant who said she suddenly felt very sick. The com-plainant suspected it to be an allergic reaction to a prescription medication she began to take the day before. Emergency rescue responded and transported the subject to Mayo Clinic.

Sept. 21 Sick Person (Building 47) – An officer responded in reference to a stu-dent possibly having a heart attack. The witness said the subject parked in the Parking Services lot, walked up to the window, and told an employee that she thought she was having a heart attack. Emergency rescue arrived and transport-ed the subject to Mayo Clinic.

Sept. 21 Sick Person (Osprey Cove) – An officer responded to an emergency call from a person who said he thought he was having a heart attack. When the of-ficer arrived, he approached the subject and asked if he was the one who called. The subject did not respond. The officer asked again and the subject confirmed that he called. The subject gave the of-ficer his N number and date of birth but was a number off with each. The sub-ject said he had taken an unknown pill. Emergency rescue arrived and transport-ed him to Vincent Hospital.

Sept. 23 Vandalism (Osprey Villages) –An officer met with a complainant who said he heard a loud noise come from his bedroom. When the subject went into his room, he noticed his window had been broken. He does not know who it could have been. The subject said nothing in his room fell that could have broken it. The officer observed the outside area and did not see anything that could have caused it. The investigation is ongoing.

New shuttles were spotted on the routes yesterday morning. Transportation Man-agement Services, which owns Horizon Coach Lines, bought the previous compa-ny, Coach America Group Holdings Corp. That's the brand we used to see shuttle Ospreys around campus. We’ve been ex-pecting these unbranded, blank shuttles to hold us over until the refurbished shuttles come back with new decals and upholstery.

College students are branded as the most ravenous consumers of social me-dia. You and most of your friends use Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr — or maybe all three. Maybe you also have a blog or a LinkedIn account.

But more likely than any of those, you have a Facebook.

Our relationship with that social me-dia king is wanton. As much as you hate every time it introduces new features, how vulnerable it makes your privacy, and the fear of it costing you your first job, you just can’t let it go.

Or can you?As early as May, major media outlets

reported a growing trend: people deacti-vating their Facebook accounts. More re-cently, UNF students have jumped on that bandwagon.

There’s a myriad of reasons. Some claim it takes up too much of their time, others cite job searches or a lack of face-to-face communication as their qualms.

Those simplified concerns are not only justifiable, they imply deeper, broader issues.

Media, social or not, has progressed to the point of to-the-second information.

President Obama has something in his teeth during a speech? #dentalhygiene. You’re fighting a bout of insomnia? Everyone will know because of your 4 a.m. status update.

Anonymity used to be possible. Now, if people to know about you before meet-ing you in person, they do a quick Google search — no mutual friends required to get the dirt.

People haven’t reconciled how to come to terms with their own lack of privacy, even though they’re happy and intrigued to peep through the holes in everyone else’s.

Over the past week, select Facebook us-ers have been in an uproar over their pri-vate messages circa 2007-08 supposedly be-ing posted on their Timelines.

Facebook said the comments are simply old wall posts, and its investigations into the issue have proved as much. But the comments on news stories regarding the mishap insist those posts were once hidden in their inboxes.

One theory is that in Facebook’s format during those years, people tended to share a ton of information wall-to-wall — and since the problems of social media have become apparent and people responded

accordingly, it’s near impossible to be-lieve we once communicated so freely on our walls.

In the midst of ever pushing forward, trying to reach out of the present and into the future, society has, as a whole, adjusted poorly. We make naïve assump-tions about our information’s safety and don’t understand how to deal with the resulting consequences.

So now people are going cold turkey on their social media. But breaking off that relationship isn’t the answer. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Instead, do your best to cultivate a sin-cere, positive image of yourself online. Making yourself more visible on the web can open opportunities if you showcase your talents. It's becoming a necessity in the job market to have a solid grasp of so-cial media. Lucky for you, learning is al-most as easy as opening an account on the most popular sites.

Social media is a powerful, impressive tool. It offers possibilities so intricate, the best thing to do is proceed with caution — but by all means, proceed.

STAFF REPORTER

Much of the $150,000 allocated to Student

Government for special requests has already been spent, said Student Body Treasurer William Namen.

Namen said between funding the Fassi-Naughton administration’s free printing and intramural initiatives, more than half of the special request budget has been spent for the fiscal year, which began July 1.

Because the money the Senate allocates for SG use comes from the activity and service fee, Namen said funding the initia-tives will not increase tuition.

Namen said each administration has a different idea of what is fiscally respon-sible. He said the Fassi-Naughton admin-istration’s idea is to use all the available resources in a responsible way.

Student Body President Carlo Fassi said, due to the limited amount of time provided to SG administrations, much of the work goes toward initiatives previous adminis-trations were unable to finalize.

“[The previous administration’s] vision is just as important to this year’s SG repre-sentatives,” Fassi said.

Fassi said he will continue to pursue the initiatives set out by previously elected student leaders while offering some of his own ideas, as well.

The second part of SG’s budget is the fund balance, which Namen said is an addi-tional $1.8 million in general reserve funds. He said $700,000 of that balance goes to-ward SG scholarships, while $300,000 goes toward operational costs and emergencies.

Namen said this balance is designed to keep the university running in case of an emergency, such as a hurricane.

The remaining $800,000 is the general fund balance. Namen said these are funds carried over from the previous year. At the end of each year, remaining funds go into an account that generates interest, which goes toward SG scholarships.

The Free Printing Program is an ini-tiative started under the Fassi-Naughton administration, which draws from special request allocations. It allows each student 25 free prints over the Fall semester.

Senate President Zak Varshovi said the free prints were loaded onto all Osprey 1Cards over the summer and can be used at any of UNF’s printing stations.

Namen said $53,000 was allocated for prints. He said within the first two weeks of the program, more than 80 percent of the student body had used at least one free print.

Fassi said his administration will oversee the program to determine if the amount of money will be sufficient for fu-ture semesters.

“It’s a great success,” Namen said. “I hope the administration continues to fund it — as well as the next administration.”

Fassi said his administration desired to provide campus athletics with additional amenities and a scorekeeper.

He said the university would hire a stu-dent to keep track of hits, runs, goals, etc., while earning money and experience on the field.

Namen said the student-held posi-tion would be more a statistician than a scorekeeper.

Namen said about $23,000 was passed through the budget and allocations com-mittee for new field equipment, including bleachers, scoreboards and pylons. With the $11,000 needed for a “statistician,” the total amount approved for campus athlet-ics was $34,957.79.

“The focus is to make an enhanced intra-mural system, while bringing more compe-tition,” Namen said.

The Senate approved and passed the pro-gram Sept. 24.

The Fassi-Naughton administration also lobbied for additional ATMs on campus.

Namen said Bank of America ATMs will be on campus within the year. He said they will be situated by Building 8, near other ATMs, which include Wells Fargo and Community First.

Another initiative seeks to bring more fans and school spirit to men’s basketball games.

SG-for-3 was an SG athletics initiative under the Brockelman-Warner adminis-tration and continues with the current administration. During men’s basketball games, if a three-point shot is made, an SG-for-3 T-shirt will be thrown into the crowd.

Namen said SG handed out about 500 SG-for-3 shirts last year.

Other initiatives of the Fassi-Naughton administration include a new mobile app, enhancements to campus dining and the new shuttle to the St. Johns Town Center.

Due to safety concerns, the entrances to

two staircases in the Student Union East Building have been locked.

These staircases are open on the first and second floors. They are closed on the third floor, where the doors lead directly to SG suites.

Michael McGuire, UNF’s Student Government business manager, said SG re-quested in the last week of May that these doors be locked. The UNF Environmental Health and Safety Department later re-viewed the request.

McGuire said the doors are locked to prevent individuals unaffiliated with UNF from accessing the SG offices.

However, these doors can be opened from the inside of the building for fire safety reasons.

Daniel Endicott, director of UNF’s Department of Environmental Health and Safety, outlined the process that takes place when a person makes this sort of request.

He said a safety modification request is sent in electronic form. Depending on the complexity of the change, it is then passed on to various departments.

Endicott said the funds needed to com-plete the requested safety modifications are then examined.

This request then must pass a series of building codes, such as the Florida build-ing code and a fire code.

John Hale, director of UNF Physical Facilities, confirmed the request was com-pliant with the building code.

Endicott did not wish to comment on this specific issue. He said there is a sec-ond part of the request, involving possibly locking elevator doors, that has not yet been fulfilled.

David Crabtree, director of the Student Union, said access to these staircases has been granted to a few professional and stu-dent staff members when requested.

/// Senate Brief

Student Body President Carlo Fassi called a special Senate meeting for Oct. 1 to reintro-duce the bill regarding Alumni Square and Student Union West Building dining-related renovations. The bill is being reintroduced to better reflect the reason for the construction.

Fassi vetoed the initial bill and plans to re-introduce a reworded version at the Oct. 1 meeting to reflect that the changes are being made specifically to accommodate Chick-fil-A and Papa John’s.

During the Sept. 24 Senate meeting, sev-eral senators expressed confusion over the intent of the bill because it did not reflect students opinions in the survey distributed several weeks prior.

The survey asked whether students are in favor of switching Sbarro’s for Chick-Fil-A and Papa John’s for Salsarita’s. While the original bill requests funding for renovations, it does not specify that these renovations are for Chick-fil-A and Papa John’s.

The initial dining renovations bill passed through the Budget and Allocations

Committee and the Senate during the past two weeks.

Though the choice to veto may appear to be connected to the LGBT community’s outrage over Chick-Fil-A coming to campus, Fassi’s intentions are clear.

Fassi said there was a lot of confusion about the bill. He wants to be sure it reflects what the student body wants and the results of the survey.

The Spinnaker also reached out to Zak Varshovi, Senate president, for additional comments, but he could not be reached due to time constraints.

In an effort to raise awareness about

the issue and prevent future hazing inci-dents, UNF’s Fraternity and Sorority Life recently participated in National Hazing Prevention Week.

Fraternity and Sorority Life spent Sept. 24-28 hosting events intended to edu-cate students about the negative effects of hazing.

Christina Bennet, a Fraternity and Sorority Life student assistant and mem-ber of Alpha Chi Omega, said the depart-ment has hosted dinners for faculty and students where they discussed why hazing doesn’t belong in UNF Greek life.

She said they also made pub-lic service announcements and held Facebook contests.

A recent hazing incident involving the University of Iowa’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter has emphasized the need for awareness and prevention.

The SAE National Office shut down its University of Iowa chapter and expelled its sixty fraternity members Sept. 25 due to accusations of hazing, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.

John Scorza, president of UNF’s SAE chapter, said the Iowa chapter’s closure is disappointing but necessary.

“Hazing is an outdated practice that needs to be expunged,” Scorza said. “The more people that focus on stopping it,

the better off fraternities and sororities will be.”

At UNF, banners created by each frater-nity and sorority were hung in the Student Union. All of them centered on this year’s theme: Healthy Ospreys Don’t Haze.

Laura Fox, UNF’s assistant director of Fraternity and Sorority Life, said she agrees with that sentiment.

“When you look at the mission and vi-sion of what fraternities and sororities are supposed to do, it just doesn’t fit,” Fox said. “It tears people down.”

Fox said there are numerous measures in place to prevent hazing at UNF, includ-ing the requirement that all departments and members must meet with Student Life so they can be educated on the negative

effects of hazing and what hazing means.The Department of Student Affairs also

has a section of its website dedicated to hazing prevention, where they include a link to UNF’s strict no-hazing policy and details on how to report a hazing incident.

However, Fox said the best way to stop hazing is to get people talking about it in a safe environment.

“There’s times at schools where [they will] sweep a hazing incident under the rug,” Fox said. “I’m not that person. I’m more of a person who would say, ‘let’s talk about it.’”

STAFF REPORTER

Any given Friday near the Fort Caroline

National Memorial along the St. Johns River, UNF anthropology students can be found deep in the Florida marsh, search-ing for evidence of a lost French fort.

Fort Caroline, or as the French called it, “Fort de la Caroline,” was founded after a French expedition landed at a site along the St. Johns River in 1564.

René Goulaine de Laudonnière founded the fort atop St. Johns Bluff June 22, 1564 and named the new fort for King Charles IX of France.

Though several documents from the era include evidence of the fort, its original location has never been determined.

Dr. Keith H. Ashley, a professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and UNF’s coordinator of Archaeological Research, is the principal investigator of the dig.

“Surprising to most people is there’s never been any evidence of the fort found, so everything is kind of based off documents now and we’re trying to find archaeological evidence,” Ashley said.

Dr. Robert Thunen, associate professor of anthropology and coordinator of the anthropology program, is the co-princi-pal investigator.

Both Ashley and Thunen have already overseen a number of similar investiga-tions with success in Jacksonville and Florida during their careers and hope to add this excavation to a long list of accomplishments.

Across from the entrance of the Fort Caroline memorial, the location of the dig is at Spanish Pond Ecological and Historic Preserve where the group of around 15 UNF students and alumni began the search for signs of French occupation.

“We’re trying to find evidence of the French occupation here from 1564-1565,” Ashley said. “We’re looking at different areas around where the existing memo-rial is to try and find evidence of the fort or evidence of the colony.”

The group is in the initial stages, using a method called shovel testing.

Shovel testing involves digging 50cm (19.5 inches) square holes one meter deep across a gridded area, then using a table sifter to search for small objects such as buttons and ammunition.

Thunen said if historical materials are

found during shov-el testing, they are bagged and taken back to the archaeology lab to be identified.

“Ultimately, all that material belongs to the national park, so it will be transferred back to them,” he said.

In addition to the French remnants, the anthropologists and historians are looking for evidence of the supposed group

of about 500 Spanish soldiers who marched

four days through the Florida marsh to an encampment near the Spanish Pond preserve.

Historical records suggest this is the location Spanish Admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, who founded St. Augustine, and his army slept the night before they attacked and captured Fort Caroline.

Thunen said the group is also cover-ing areas where they do not think the fort is so they can say definitively the fort is not there.

UNF students working on the archaeo-logical site said the hot, muggy, dirty, bug-infested labor in the thick Florida marsh is difficult, but working with Ashley is rewarding and offers the experience of working outside the classroom.

“Dr. Ashley is great; he’s a lot of fun to work with,” said Reagan Norton, an anthropology and history senior. “He’s

very knowledgeable and he’s very good at giving direction, making sure you know what he wants. I’ve given him the nick-name of ‘Wildman of the Woods’ because unlike normal people who will cut a trail through, he just walks right through.”

Steve DeFord, an archaeology and mul-timedia communications junior, said the project has been a lot of hard work, thus far. The group has performed over 300 shovel tests across a two-mile stretch of riverfront.

Though the group has not yet had any success in finding French or Spanish artifacts, they remain adamant in their quest, using previous digs that are more “fruitful” as motivation.

“I wouldn’t consider anything to be a success or failure. Everything that we’re doing is a progress,” said anthropology junior Megan Paciello. “We’re getting closer to what our goal is.”

With an issue that’s recently come back

into fame, courtesy of the Emmy Award-winning series Boardwalk Empire, Lawless brings bootlegging to the big screen.

Director John Hillcoat’s Lawless is the fantastic prohibition-era tale of the real-life Bondurant brothers who work their way to local heroism. A marvelous ride in the 1920’s, the film is loaded with plenty of poignant moments, gritty gun-slinging and moonshine to spare.

Based on Matt Bondurant’s (grand-son of one Bondurant brother) historical novel, The Wettest County in the World, screenwriter Nick Cave did a marvel-ous adaptation for the big screen, cleverly establishing character with even the vaguest of guttural syllables. The writing, directing and acting is so excellent that the most intriguing character is the one who says the least. Namely, Tom Hardy’s Forrest Bondurant.

This is not to say Shia LaBeouf ’s lead character and overall narrator Jack Bondurant wasn’t superbly performed, but I found myself wishing Tom Hardy had scored a few more lines and a lot more screen time. His ability to effortlessly

relate to the world around him on screen made it impossible to doubt him, which only added to his strength as the soft-spoken but hard-hitting eldest brother. With a performance more about body language, facial expression and tone than witty one-liners, Hardy was impec-cable. Though his Southern accent was sketchy at best, it never detracted from his intense performance.

Shia LaBeouf turned in an impressive and believably macho performance as youngest brother and wannabe nouveau-riche Jack Bondurant. His frenetic energy, which has proven to be a hindrance in some roles past, was well-directed as this uppity entrepreneur with a small-dog complex. LaBeouf was energetic but fo-cused, intense and emotionally available.

Guy Pearce was creepy and controlling to brutal perfection as the nasty special agent, Charlie Rakes. Trying to weasel his way into profits earned by the Bondurant’s bootlegging business, Rakes finds his advances unwelcome and his assumed power unrecognized. Pearce delivers a well-tuned performance as the pistol-wielding, toothless tiger.

The ladies of the film did not disap-point either. Forrest’s eventual love interest Maggie Beaufort was played by Jessica Chastain. Chastain was excellent, presenting Beaufort as a silk-wrapped shotgun, with all the grace and grit one would need to survive in the rough, southern streets.

Rising star Mia Wasikowska turned in a sterling performance as the preach-er’s daughter Bertha Minnix. Her quiet power and quirky mild manner were aptly

applied as she won the heart of LeBeouf ’s Jack. Her subtle, demure approach to Bertha was intelligently performed and made her very interesting to watch.

With a supporting cast including a brief appearance by Oscar winner Gary Oldman, Lawless has just as much bite as bark. No matter how large or small their part, the entire ensemble was stellar as it brought the dusty, dry counties of Georgia to gripping, vivid life.

If you’re a fan of historical fiction, stir-ring subtlety or just amazing acting, this is the fall film for you.

Be advised, Lawless is a depiction of a dangerous time in US history. As such, count on a great deal of blood and violence, some nudity and plenty of profanity.

Altogether, it was a gorgeous piece of artistically altered history brought to life for the fall season. Give it a shot (pun intended) when you’re ready for a film that grabs hold and won’t let go.

For me, honestly, I don’t really try to look at conference a lot different than any other game, but it feels really good to win.”

UNF opens its conference schedule with back-to-back matches on the road, at East Tennesee State University (4-5) Oct. 5 and USC Upstate (2-5) Oct. 7.

The UNF men’s soccer team (3-6) lost to the University of Central Florida (3-3-2) 4-0 Sept. 29.

UNF was shorthanded in the match -- five injured Ospreys sat out, including forward Jean Rivaroli, defensemen Grady Trimble and goalkeeper Brad Siekiewicz.

“The injuries don’t matter. We played great tonight, at times. We kept the ball the best we have all season,” head coach Derek Marinatos said. “We gave up two soft goals in the first half, and we created some chances. Then they scored the third and the fourth, and by then it was too late.”

Rivaroli is most likely out for the season

after partially tearing his ACL in the team’s Sept. 23 loss to Furman. Marinatos said the team doesn’t know if Rivaroli will need surgery but the team is preparing for the worst case scenario, which is him missing the rest of the year.

Trimble missed the UCF game due to conjunctivitis. He was a game-time deci-sion, but Marinatos decided to play the players who had been practicing all week.

Siekiewicz is still recovering from a

quadricep injury and his expected return is unknown. Marinatos said the injured players will continue rehab and hopefully get back to 100 percent.

“We can’t seem to get [Siekiewicz’] healthy to where he can play. We want him back for conference, so he’s still up in the air,” Marinatos said.

Although Siekiewicz will be the starting goaltender when he returns, backup Kyle Nasta made critical saves for UNF in the loss. Nasta made six saves from 14 UCF shots.

“Nasta played great tonight -- goalkeep-ing was not the issue,” Marinatos said af-ter the game. “We’ve just gotta stop giving up soft goals. It’s not because of bad goal-keeping, it’s just giving up easy chances.”

Marinatos said he was happy to see his team play the way it did against UCF, and can see that the players are finally starting to believe in themselves.

“We’re so young and inexperienced,” Marinatos said. “Our guys have to start re-alizing that everyday is an opportunity to get better.”

Marinatos said the team changed its for-mation a few weeks ago to help the team in the midfield, which he said is creating a noticeable spark in the team.

Injuries wreak havoc on men’s soccer team before conference schedule

Josh BrannoCK

STAFF REPORTER

After losing three-straight matches, the UNF volleyball team (9-7) entered Swisher Gymnasium of cross-town rival Jacksonville University (3-14, 1-3) Sept. 28, looking to end the streak.

Playing in its eighth-straight road game, UNF came out on top in a four-set match, 3-1 (25-22, 26-24, 20-25, 25-20).

In the game, four players stepped up when the team needed them most. Middle blocker Marija Pantovic, outside hitter Paige Pridgeon, middle blocker Carolyn Jenkins and defensive specialist Kelsey Smith, all made key plays to get UNF the win.

In the first set, UNF was trailing JU 17-14 when UNF head coach Steve Loeswick called for a timeout. After the timeout, UNF was able to go on a 9-5 scoring run. With the score at 23-22 UNF’s Kelsey Smith went back to the service line and caught JU off guard with a short serve.

Smith was able to pick up her first ser-vice ace of the game and gave UNF set point, which forced JU to call a timeout.

After the timeout, Smith picked up her second ace by serving a ball right down the line, giving UNF a 25-22 first set victory.

“Kelsey [Smith] had two big plays that won us the set,” Loeswick said. “We try to put the girls in the right place and we hope the training comes into play, and they take care of the business we ask them to take care of.”

Taking care of business is exactly what Jenkins, Pridgeon and Pantovic did

against the Dolphins. The trio combined for 36 kills and 47.5 of the team’s 73 total points.

Jenkins led the Ospreys with a career-high 10 blocks, two self-blocks and eight block assists, and had 13 kills on the night to give her a double-double.

Later in the second set, after a JU

timeout, Pantovic and Jenkins blocked JU’s Sammie Strausbaugh two times out of the last four points of the set. UNF came back from a 21-23 deficit to eventually take the set.

In the fourth and final set Jenkins tallied three points, all kills, in the final five UNF points.

Although Pridgeon may not have had an end-of-set streak like Jenkins, Pantovic and Smith, she stayed consistent and fin-ished the match with 13 total kills, three block assists and one service ace.

Even though the match was against JU, Pantovic said the win and the game felt the same as any other match.

“For me, honestly, I don’t really try to look at conference a lot different than any other game, but it feels really good to win,” Pantovic said.

There was a strong showing of UNF fans at the game, nearly an entire section, and Pantovic attributed that to the win.

“It was amazing. It always is when they [the fans] come out,” Pantovic said. “I can’t thank them enough. It really means a lot that the gym is not quiet on our side as well. We can only get so loud because there is only 14 of us and there were like 50, 60, 70 [UNF fans] I don’t know, but it was a lot.”

The UNF Ospreys took part in the Sept. 24-25 tournament at historic Shoal Creek Country Club in Alabama and finished in sixth place. PGA professional Graeme McDowell, who gave a pre-tournament speech to all 11 teams in attendance, hosted the tournament.

Following the morning session, UNF was fifth in the standings behind the play of senior Kevin Phelan, who shot a 2-under-par 70. The team dropped in posi-tion by the end of the day, though, finding themselves in seventh place.

As a team, UNF shot a 36-hole total of 587 on day one, several shots behind the leader, Houston (571).

UNF shot a final-round 293 Tuesday to bring their 54-hole total to 880 (+16). Sophomore MJ Maguire finished with the lowest score for UNF, shooting a 214 (-2) and

tying for fifth in the individual standings.Phelan shot a 1-under-par 71 Tuesday to

tie for 11th in the tournament’s individual standings. Freshman Austin Padova shot a 224 (+8) to finish 25th. Joey Petronio and Pete Kellerman finished 29th and 53rd, af-ter shooting totals of 225 (+9) and 233 (+17).

LSU claimed the team trophy after

shooting a three-round total of 864.Historic Shoal Creek has hosted several

high-profile tournaments including the 1984 and 1990 PGA Championships, the 1986 U.S. Amateur and the 2008 U.S. Junior Amateur.

UNF head coach Scott Schroeder appre-ciates the course’s challenges.

“I love seeing our guys play this course,” Schroeder said. “It’s a true test of golf. If you play well there, you probably played really well.”

Golf Digest listed Shoal Creek as the 72nd best golf course in the U.S. in its 2011-2012 rankings, a drop from 50th in 2009-2010.

Despite the course’s prestige and intimi-dation, Maguire was more than prepared.

“It’s certainly an incredible experience,” Maguire said. “But we were prepared, we were ready to play golf.”

McDowell spoke to the teams about the importance of staying calm, collected and focused in the game of golf.

“I took a lot from [McDowell], person-ally,” Maguire said. “Being able to let bad shots slip your mind and remembering the good shot, that will be important for me.”

Adam Greenberg stepped to the plate for his first Major League at bat as pinch hitter for the Chicago Cubs, in the ninth inning of a July 2005 game against the Marlins. His Major League career lasted one pitch.

Florida left-handed pitcher Valerio de los Santos launched a 92 mph fastball that hit Greenberg in the back of the head. The rookie was rushed to the hospital and has since battled post-concussion symptoms such as dizziness, severe headaches, ver-tigo, and nausea.

Greenberg had spent several years bat-tling through the minor and independent leagues, still suffering from some of the symptoms, when he caught the attention of

filmmaker Matt Liston. Soon after hearing Greenberg’s tale, Liston began an online campaign to get the struggling ballplayer another at bat in the big leagues. The pro-motion yielded over 20,000 signatures.

After Greenberg’s quest was brought to the attention of Miami Marlins General Manager Dave Samson, Greenberg was signed to a one-day contract. He will take his second and, likely, final at bat during the Marlin’s season-ending home series against the New York Mets.

The disastrous 2012 season will likely keep many Marlins fans away from the park, but at least the team can finish on a high note.

Last week, an Arizona State tailgate pho-to featuring a child in diapers doing a keg stand went viral. Clearly, Playboy was not impressed as it promptly left ASU off of its Top 10 Party School list in their October is-sue. Schools were graded on three factors: sex, sports, and nightlife.

I wouldn’t categorize Ohio State, Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, Florida, and USC as newcomers to this list, and can certainly see how New Orleans would give Tulane a boost in the nightlife department. But, Texas Christian? Vandy?

“We are demanding a recount,” University of Virginia’s spokeswoman Marian Anderfuren said.

Fellow UVA spokeswoman, Carol Wood, said, “It’s far more important for the uni-versity to be known for our academic achievements in teaching and research.”

Relax, Virginia, the rest of the nation can’t believe it either.

Dan Mullen has accomplished a lot dur-ing his time in Starkville. The fourth-year head coach, who has turned the lowly Mississippi State football program into a consistent winner, took his talents to the dinner table last week, downing 24 wings in five minutes during a wing eating con-test at a Buffalo Wild Wings. That’s one wing every 12.5 seconds.

Though Mullen’s rate is impressive, it does not come close to competitive eating champ, Joey Chesnut, who ate one wing every 3.8 seconds while knocking out 191 total wings in 12 minutes.

For anyone who has not consumed a large quantity of wings in one sitting, these numbers are staggering.

Sickening. I predicted earlier in the morn-ing that the U.S. was going to lose, but if they were to win, it was going to be with 14 1/2 points and come down to Tiger. Sadly, I was right on with the first guess. I woke up that morning with a bad feeling in my stomach and when Fyruk missed his putt the feeling came back.

The U.S. has no excuse. It was a display of miserable closing ability. Europeans are obviously in the Americans’ heads.

It was entertaining and great for the sport. Regardless of who won, this was some of the most entertaining golf I’ve ever watched. Given, it would have been better if the U.S. won, but it was still great television. The drama of a comeback like that (which is what I see it as rather than a collapse) keeps you watching. If only Rory would have slept a little longer...

I would call it a comeback and not a collapse. Although it was unexpected, it wasn’t unprecedented. The Europeans were finally able to get revenge for the equally unlikely comeback of the Ameri-cans at the 1999 Ryder Cup in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Question 3: how would you describe the ryder Cup collapse of the u.s.?

Question 1: is geno smith the clear favorite for the heisman after his preformance this weekend?

No doubt. The guy is keeping West Vir-ginia unbeaten. He single handedly won the Baylor game, because defense sure didn’t. It’s going to be hard to get in front of him, but I like Stephen Morris after the last two weeks and EJ Manuel.

Geno Smith put up video game stats this past weekend. Eight touchdowns? Really? The Mountaineers beat Baylor 70-63. Smith hit four free-throws to ice the game. Wait, that’s a football score? Yeah he’s definitely the Heisman front-runner.

He has to be. Until he loses, it’s there for the taking. A loss for WVU would hurt his campaign, especially if it’s to another Heis-man contender such as Colin Klein, but until that happens, Smith is in the driver’s seat.

I’ve been doing my research to see if there has ever been a better performance by a college quarterback than the one Geno Smith turned in against Baylor on Saturday. So far, I haven’t found one. If West Virginia can go undefeated, or only lose one of their remaining games, then he will beat out my previous favorite, EJ Manuel.

It’s amazing to know that we have pos-sibly two of the greatest seasons in recent MLB history and few seem to be talking about it. On that note, I have to go with Cabrera on the sole fact that no one has had a Triple Crown since 1967 and the Tigers look like they’re going to make the playoffs instead of the Angels.

Cabrera is the MVP. Anyone who gets anywhere close to a Triple Crown should be the MVP.

Is this a question? The arguments for Trout are purely based on Sabermetrics. I’ve heard that Trout is a better base runner, but come on. If you’ve actually watched how dominant Miggy has been this year, this isn’t a conversation.

I really don’t understand this debate. How can a player who has a chance to win the Triple Crown not win the MVP? The answer: there’s little chance he won’t. The only way Cabrera doesn’t win is if TMZ snaps a photo of him face deep in a mound of steroid syringes.

Question 2: who’s your american league mVP, Cabrera or trout?
