Jacobs puts on show for parents in first start Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz

JACKIE DOBSON/O’COLLY

Seth Jacobs had seven tackles and an interception in his first career start.

‘It was definitely something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. I was very happy my parents were there.’

SETH JACOBS, OSU sophomore starting linebacker, intercepted 2013 Heisman trophy winner Jameis Winston in the second quarter of Saturday’s game at AT&T Stadium.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

For several Oklahoma State football players, Saturday’s game in Dallas against defending national champion Florida State gave them a chance to play close to home. That certainly wasn’t the case for Seth Jacobs. Jacobs, a sophomore linebacker, grew up in Arroyo Grande, California. Despite the distance, his parents made the trip to Dallas to watch their son’s first-career start. “They caught a redeye,” Jacobs said. “It’s not an easy trip, so I’m thankful they were able to come.” They cheered throughout the game, the first they saw Jacobs play since early last season, but they probably weren’t any louder than they were early in the second quarter when he intercepted a pass from FSU’s Heisman Trophy winner, Jameis Winston. It was the first interception of Jacobs’ career. “It was definitely something I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Jacobs said. “I was very happy my parents were there. “It’s great sharing that moment with them, and them just talking to me hoarse, losing their voice from the game, yelling for me.” Jacobs’ interception couldn’t keep the Cowboys from opening their season with a 37-31 loss. Although closer than expected, the result wasn’t good enough

O’COLLY

for Jacobs. “When it comes down to it, they scored more than we scored,” he said. “To say that we were successful would be false. … We challenged their offense in ways that made us effective at times, so we just weren’t effective in enough situations.” What was effective was OSU’s recruiting pitch to Jacobs. Even though he had to travel halfway across the country to come to Stillwater, Jacobs chose to play for OSU over West Coast schools Oregon, UCLA and Washington, all of which are currently ranked teams. Still, he wanted to experience a different part of the country and couldn’t resist the kindness he felt in Oklahoma. “I just wanted change,” Jacobs said. “I wanted to try something new. When I came here on my visit, I felt very comfortable with the change. Everyone was genuinely nice, and I really appreciated that. The facilities were second to none. It was just a great place to be, and I wanted to be here.” The Cowboys wanted him, too. After losing linebackers Shaun Lewis and Caleb Lavey, OSU will have to rely on Jacobs, who joined Ryan Simmons and Josh Furman as Saturday’s starting linebackers. OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said Saturday was a step in the right direction for Jacobs. “I was very impressed with how physical he played,” Spencer said. “That’s something in his development as a player that he had a lot of ways to

go, and that was the most physical football game he’s ever played.” Spencer has faith that Jacobs will continue to improve. “The things that he did wrong were very correctable,” Spencer said. “It’s a process with him. We’re just at the beginning of him trying to become a good player.” Jacobs himself knows he still has plenty to learn. “You’ve got to be your own toughest critic,” Jacobs said. “You’ve got to really care about this game, and I’m trying to play well for my teammates.” The next chance for Jacobs and his teammates to prove themselves comes this Saturday, when the Cowboys will make their 2014 Boone Pickens Stadium debut against Missouri State. This home opener will have a different feel for Jacobs, who recorded a season-high four tackles in last year’s home opener against Lamar. It was one of six games he played last season; he recorded 11 tackles all season. He had seven against FSU. Now, he’s a starter and will be a key piece in OSU’s defense as the Cowboys’ look to silence their doubters and bring their home crowd to its feet. “It’s going to be exciting,” Jacobs said. “Our fans were loud this weekend, so I can only imagine how loud it’s going to be at home.” It might be just a bit quieter without his parents there to root him on. sports@ocolly.com PAGE 2

Notebook: OSU needs balance on offense

JACKIE DOBSON/O’COLLY

Tyreek Hill’s 278 all-purpose yards in Week One ranked third in the nation.

One, an excellent mark for a JUCO transfer playing his first game against the defending national champions. However, Oklahoma State (0-1) can’t expect him to continue to put up similar numbers week after week. “We have a number of guys on offense who have to make plays for us to make this run,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said.

Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim

Tyreek Hill dazzled fans with his speed and athleticism on Saturday against No. 1 Florida State, racking up 278 all-purpose yards. That was good for third in the nation in Week

COLLEGE SKI & BOARD WEEK

“We need to play better and catch the football better at the receiver position. That will allow Tyreek to continue to make big plays. “If we lean on Tyreek to do everything, the other guys that we play are smart coaches, they’ll come up with a way to slow him down or try to defend him. If you’re somewhat onedimensional ... it’s easy to take him out of the game.”

Hill wasn’t exactly onedimensional against the Seminoles, but his 278 yards on 22 touches is too much for one player to take on each game. Rennie Childs and Desmond Roland, whose status for Saturday’s home opener against Missouri State is uncertain after an apparent injury to his ribs, will need to get more production on the ground. Jhajuan Seales, David Glidden and Brandon Sheperd caught two passes each, and Marcell Ateman missed his chance at a reception in the back of the end zone late in the fourth quarter. If the Cowboys are to have a dynamic offense, they can’t rely on swing passes and sweeps to the outside with Hill.

SPENCER SEES ADVANTAGE IN BEARS OFFENSE OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer spent the spring trying to instill his defense the same emotion and work ethic that led to a dominant campaign in 2013. Although he was impressed with the Cowboys’

performance against FSU, he isn’t taking anything for granted. “It (the heartbeat) was Saturday, and Saturday’s over. I can’t say that it’s there unless it shows up this Saturday,” Spencer said. “It was one game. The intensity and focus and emotion was good Saturday, but to say that it’s there for forever: No. That’s what we have to get done for this Saturday. That remains to be seen.” The Cowboys have a chance to do that against the Missouri State Bears (1-0), who came back from a 17-point deficit to beat Northwestern State 34-27 on the road. “They’re not a lot different than us, which is good,” Spencer said. “They’ve got an athletic quarterback, a lot of zone reads. They want to see what you’re in and they’ll adjust, so I think they do a good job of coaching from the sidelines. They’re going to spread the field.” DON’T COUNT OUT DAXX Quarterback Daxx Gar-

man still hasn’t seen the field since 2009, despite being prepared to play 1015 snaps against the Seminoles. Starting quarterback J.W. Walsh stayed on the field the entire game, leaving Garman wondering when he’ll get his chance to throw. He might not have to wait much longer. “Daxx has taken a lot of reps, and I think he’s ready to play in a game,” Gundy said. “There wasn’t a time Saturday night where we thought it benefitted our team to be in there, but I would say in the future there will be a time for him.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Missouri State When: Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Where: Boone Pickens Stadium TV: FSOK

OSU facing federal investigation Kassie McClung @KassieMcClung

An animal watchdog group has filed a complaint with federal officials and is asking for a new federal investigation after obtaining reports of dozens of animal deaths, illegal surgeries and the permanent suspension of a researcher at Oklahoma State University. Stop Animal Exploitation Now, based in Milford, Ohio, is a nationwide volunteer group dedicated

to ending animal abuse in laboratories since 1996. The organization is asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to fine and investigate OSU for violating the Animal Welfare Act with alleged negligent care. The group used National Institutes of Health reports to file a complaint to the USDA, said Michael Budkie, executive director of Stop Animal Exploitation. It began its investigation of OSU after a USDA report issued on Sept. 13, 2013, cited a university lab for the death of 15 voles due

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

to dehydration. A vole is a rodent simiar to a mouse. The university responded to the incidents cited in the reports immediately after they occurred, and the matters are closed, said Gary Shutt, director of communications at OSU. Correspondence between OSU and the NIH dated Nov. 15, 2013, recounts incidents in which an OSU researcher was permanently suspended after using unapproved methods of euthanasia on guinea pigs and gerbils to be used as raptor food.

The report did not include how many rodents were involved in the incident. Budkie said OSU clearly recognized the incident as a serious one because of the suspension and revised laboratory protocols. “I think, on one level, clearly the system in OSU is broken because otherwise these serious noncompliances could have never happened,” Budkie said.

Spears celebrates 100 years Will Tracy @ocolly This weekend will be one of celebration as OSU gears up to announce the breaking of ground for the new business school. The new building will rise north of the current building in the footprint of where Hanner Hall once stood. The decision to build a new Spears School of Business coincides with the 100 year anniversary of business education at OSU. Students, faculty and alumni are encouraged to participate in the centen-

nial events this weekend, which include the official groundbreaking, free tours of selected facilities, and a university-sponsored tailgate for the first home game. The official groundbreaking at 4 p.m. on Friday will signal the beginning of centennial events, as well as a daylong open house in the current Spears School of Business. After that, the university will host a reception in the Wes Watkins Center that is slated to run from 5.30-8.30 p.m. Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour selected areas of the Boone Pickens Stadium as well as the lately renovated Student Union.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

In addition to the Friday functions, the OSU Foundation is hosting a tailgate party on Saturday starting at 11 a.m. before the OSU football game against Missouri State. The tailgate will take place at the spot where Hanner Hall once was. Private tailgates will not be allowed on Saturday at that location. The open house, tours, groundbreaking and tailgate are all open to the public and free, although prior registration is required. The only event that will not be free is the reception. Reception tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students 20 and younger.

Tickets and registration are available at the official 100th Anniversary website: spears100.okstate.edu. The current OSU business school’s construction began in 1964, exactly 50 years before construction of the new business school is planned to begin. Architectural plans for the new site will be revealed at the groundbreaking ceremony. Costing $70 million, the new business building represents a significant investment. Ken Eastman, dean of the Spears School of Business, said in a phone interview that over half of the funds will come from private donations. The university and the Spears School of Business are

Kaelynn Knoernschild @kaelynn_k Oklahoma State is looking to build some new traditions this football season with the help of the student body. The OSU athletic department and Student Government Association are partenering to transform an area of campus into a student tailgating haven. “We want to create a new tradition,” said Matt Chuning, president of SGA. “We want to do something that is really going to be the heartbeat of tailgating.” The university plans to host the tailgate on the strip of land just north of Boone Pickens Stadium, in front of the new Sherman E. Smith

Training Center. “It’s pretty prime,” Chuning said of the location, which is almost directly across from the student gates at BPS. The land, which measures 60 feet by 450 feet, will be divided into 14 large plots and include a 10-foot walkway. Chuning said the large plots can be divided into smaller sections to potentially accommodate up to 30 or 40 tailgates. The area is open to all students and it is free of charge to reserve a spot. “This is for any campus organization; there is no limit to who can be involved in it,” he said. Students can register for the entire football season or on a per-game basis. The area will be available to students for the game against UTSA on Sept. 13,

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

and Chuning said students are welcome to begin signing up. “First come, first serve,” he said. “The quicker you sign up, the sooner you get to pick a spot.” He said groups need about eight people to form a tailgate, with at least one student with a valid campuswide ID. Students can register by going to osusga.okstate.edu and should expect to receive an email including their spot number the Wednesday before the game, Chuning said. Students will need to print the number and attach it to their tent on game day. “With this, you’re going to have a reserved spot, so you’re not going to have to worry about fighting over (a spot) on Thursdays,” Chuning said. Additionally, he said

plans are underway for a stage to be on the west side of the area. The stage will be reserved for student performers. Those interested in performing should stop by 211Q in the Student Union, Chuning said. The tailgating initiative stems from the athletic department, which approached Chuning asking for assistance in coordinating the event, he said. Chuning said the department would like to create a “central hub of tailgating” potentially emulating The Grove at Ole Miss. “I think they realize how important tailgating and the students are to the athletic department and the mission that they are trying to accomplish,” he said. Also, as the university’s master plan for construction continues to progress, popu-

lar tailgating areas might not be available in the future. “It’s going to be easier if we start taking some proactive measures and are smart about the transition than if we wait until it becomes a problem and try and do something then,” Chuning said. Chuning wanted to reiterate that no one is losing their tailgating spot, but he said that might change in three or four years when the university begins to work on construction projects. “We’re not forcing anyone to move, “ he said. “This is just a really cool opportunity,” he said. If the event becomes extremely popular, Chuning said the it could expand into the westbound lane of Hall of Fame. He also mentioned the possibility of a Jumbotron

being placed in the middle of Hall of Fame so fans could have access to other football games. “I’m optimistic,” Chuning said. “I think it will be something worthwhile. In football games, where does all your energy come from? You know it’s the students. Well, it should be the same way with tailgating and we think it will be.” The OSU athletic department declined to provide further comment. news@ocolly.com Up Next What: Game day tailgating slots registration When: Sept. 13 Where: osusga.okstate.edu

FIX YOUR EYES! “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Heb.12:3 NIV) In the context of this verse, we are told of many who trusted God in their generation and walked by faith with him, doing his will. Yet, in conclusion of these testimonies of others, the apostle tells us to “fix our eyes on Jesus.” We have taken a look at many, but we are to steadily gaze at Christ. He is the author and finisher of our faith. The Christian life, from first to last, is living our life trusting Christ. We began with Christ and we are to finish in the same manner. befo him.” He saw past the cross and his sufferings to the end Christ had a “joy set before result of his life. He knew what the conclusion would be, the many lives that would be saved; he saw the great glory that was to come. He told those accusing and condemning him; “you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” (Matt.26:64) Standing in his human weakness, forsaken by all, he spoke of the final triumph. He now sits at the right hand of the throne of God. Christ has run the race ahead of us, and shown us the wa way. Let’s keep looking at what God has promised to those who trust and follow him. At our lowest times, when things seem hopeless, when we seem the weakest, Christ wants us to trust his grace and faithfulness. He will see us through to his proper end. “Those who trust in him will not be ashamed.” Be encouraged! Keep doing what is right! Keep looking to Christ. Let us finish our Christian life with our eyes fixed on Jesus. We will win in the end.

OSQ&A serves as ‘beacon’ Montinique Monroe @iAmMontinique

Oklahoma State Queers and Allies, previously known as the Sexual Orientation Diversity Association, changed its name in effort to include students who do not identify with a specific sexual orientation. Colby Gregg, appointed historian of OSQ&A, said he joined the organization in Spring 2012 because he was uncomfortable with his sexuality and accepting himself. “This organization is a beacon,” Gregg said. “... For a gay kid in the College of Agricultural Sciences and

Natural Resources who had never met another gay person until halfway through his freshman year of college, it was quite the relief to meet other people like me, especially coming from a town where being gay isn’t OK.” The purpose of the organization is to strengthen the presence of the LGBT community and its allies on the campus of OSU and in the community of Stillwater, according to the OSQ&A constitution. Connor Terry, a psychology junior and president of OSQ&A, said the organization was founded about 10 years ago to support diversity by letting students know that it is OK to be different. The idea to change the name of the organization

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

began during a meeting in 2012. “We had some members in our organization who didn’t necessarily feel that they were included in the organization,” Terry said. “Especially since some of them did not identify as being a sexual orientation.” Members of the organization decided to embrace the controversial name “queer” and use it as an inclusive word. Terry said he and other members of the organization focus on eliminating the negative stigma attached to the word and focusing more on the inclusion factor. Terry said the organization voted in January 2014 to use Oklahoma State Queers and Allies as the official name. Terry said the name is

more ambiguous and deals less with identifying about being lesbian, gay, bisexual or whatever a student may identify as and more about identifying as a member of the community. The structure of the organization consists of three chairs in addition to the executive board. The support chair, activism chair and social chair carry on the mission of the organization. OSQ&A seeks membership from all students. Some students’ roles in the organization is to serve as allies to other members. Terry said members of every community have an ally. For example, students at OSU serve as allies to each other. “Being an ally isn’t just be-

ing a straight person in our community,” Terry said. “It’s also about supporting and helping the other people in our community. “We want to provide a safe place for students who may be struggling with their sexuality, or their identity or

perhaps are not as secure in what they are or who they are and just giving them a place to come to know that they are loved, they are accepted and that they have a place here on campus.” news@ocolly.com
