Albums of the

Week

By Dan Carmichael Cal Times Contributor

The Life of Pablo - Kanye West The outrageous, out spoken, one of a kind Kanye West has finally released his newest album. “The Life of Pablo,” was first mentioned over two years ago when it was originally going to be called “So Help Me God.” A release date was never fully stated, though if you kept up with West over the years, it seemed that there was always a chance for the release to be completely unannounced. Finally, after four title changes, West decided on the name and revealed that he would release it at a fashion show in the sold out Madison Square Garden.

What everyone thought to be a full run through of the album only ended up being half of it. West said the album would have ten tracks on it. When it was finally released, the track list showed a final number of 18 songs. Some of these songs had already been released over the last year, but most were brand new. This album features a wide variety of Kanye West sounds that you will be familiar with from throughout the years. From the beginning, the album does sound like the “gospel” album that West said it was. From beginning to end, the album satisfies everything you would hope for in a Kanye album. The only negative feedback received was that Kanye did not have enough rap verses. Though not every song showed off Kanye’s rapping ability, his ability to produce a solid, catchy and high quality track was shown. West, who was listed as a producer on every song on the album, really put his best touches on each track and spent time to prove that he cared deeply for each song that he put on display. If you are comparing this album to any of his six previous works, it is very comparable to “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” which many proclaim to be his best work as an artist. From start to finish, you will hear some outlandish lyrics, as well as some really down to Earth lyricism that may not always be displayed by West. This may not be the album “of the life” as Kanye has initially stated, but it is some of his best work and provides an amazing sound to the somewhat originality depleted hip hop game. It truly is something you need to make an opinion for on your own.

Family Dinner Volume 2 - Snarky Puppy Snarky Puppy, a band that formed in 2004 has now released their tenth studio album. Throughout the years, the band has seen as many as 40 members come and go. A majority of the band, both current and former, have come out of the University of North Texas. Though the band has used up to 40 different members over the last 12 years, the main touring group only consists of 13 core musicians. Snarky Puppy produces a jazz fusion music that is not only incredibly technical, but also very impressive and pleasing to the ear.

Over the years, Snarky Puppy has been under the radar when it comes to the music scene as a whole, but in the jazz world, they are beginning to get a large backing and really making a name for themselves. The first album from this collection, “Family Dinner Volume One,” was the first album that has featured singing. Normally, this fully instrumental group spends their songs jamming out and showing off their composition of various instrumental pieces. They decided to make an album featuring some of the best jazz influenced singers they could find three years ago and eventually came out with their second installment last week.

“Family Dinner Volume 2” provides close to 90 minutes of smooth listening. The shortest song on the album is just over three and a half minutes long while the longest is over ten minutes in length. You could put an average time of each song around seven minutes. The length can seem a little daunting for listeners who just want to put on an album, vibe out, and not think about what they are listening to. Luckily for Snarky Puppy fans, these songs all have their own individual sound that make getting through this album a pleasurable experience. For jazz fans and music appreciators everywhere, this is the perfect album to give a listen because it offers some of the best sides of jazz music, well developed lyrics and vocal arrangements and it was created with passion and care.

Relationship between athletes and media

By Rachael McKriger, Cal Times Sports Editor Professional athletes have always had to deal with the media. That’s no secret in the sports world.

However, it’s not just athletes “dealing” with the media; the media has to put up with a lot of ridicule from the players.

The most recent case of the media having to deal with a certain player is from Super Bowl 50. After the big game, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers got up and walked out of his press conference after only less than five minutes. Newton overheard Broncos cornerback Chris Harris loudly celebrating his victory behind Newton.

Newton, who was visibly upset about the loss and over Harris’ actions, stood up and left. Former and current NFL players have responded by either supporting Newton for his actions or scolded him.

This isn’t the first time a professional athlete has been annoyed to the point of leaving their press conference. However, it wasn’t the media’s fault, as they were just doing their jobs. Another instance

has been at plenty of post-game press conferences when coaches would get upset with the media for brining up poor performances. The coaches or players would get smart with the media and refuse to answer their questions.

Chip Kelly is a perfect example. Kelly, who was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles this past NFL season, would ignore the media’s questions and refuse to answer any questions due to being upset about the final of a game.

In no way is that fair to the media. The media can get out of hand sometimes, I know, but for the most part they are just trying to do their jobs. Luckily, I’ve been fortunate to interview athletes at Cal U and not have them get up and walk out. I interviewed Nate Bellhy of the men’s basketball team about two weeks ago. I had to bring up the team’s disappointing loss to Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the team’s upsetting record. However, Bellhy remained composed and answered all of

my questions. Now if Bellhy, who is simply just a college athlete, can do that, why can’t professional athletes and coaches?

Nobody likes recalling a bad experience, especially an athlete. I’ve been there and I’ve done that, but I would never walk out of an interview. Newton’s case bothers me the most. Newton was just voted the MVP of the NFL. What does that really mean? It means he’s the face of the NFL right now and the face of the NFL should not abruptly walk out of their interview because they are angry about the way they played.

Being an athlete is a privilege, and with that privilege comes plenty of responsibility. It might not seem like a major one, but being respectful towards the media when all they’re trying to do is do their job, is actually a vital responsibility of any athlete.

Brown to retire at the end of the season

By Matthew Kifer, Sports Information

The all-time winningest coach in program history, California University of Pennsylvania head men’s basketball coach Bill Brown has announced that he will retire following the end of the season.

Brown currently holds a 365-207 record and a .638 winning percentage during his 20year tenure with the Vulcans. He is the winningest active coach in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) and ranks fifth in league history in victories, while also being just one of six coaches with at least 350 wins in the PSAC.

“I’ve been fortunate to see the transition of the university during my time and there have been lots of high marks,” said Brown. “I’ll miss the college atmosphere and it’s going to be tough, but its time.”

Overall, Brown has served as a head coach for 30 years and boasts a 490-334 career record (.595) with previous stints at Sacramento State (1986-87) and Kenyon (Ohio) (1989-96).

He enters the weekend No. 18 among active head coaches in NCAA Division II in career wins.

Brown has led the Vulcans to six NCAA Tournament appearances, highlighted by an Elite Eight appearance during the 2007-08 season. The Vulcans also captured the PSAC Championship that year, the first time since the 1998-99 campaign, and recorded the third-winningest season in school history at 28-6 behind an 11-1 mark in league play.

A native of Toledo, Ohio, Brown has helped guide Cal U to the PSAC Tournament 14 times over the last two decades and earned at least a share of first place in the PSAC West standings eight times before the league expanded by four schools starting in 2008. The Vulcans have totaled at least 23 wins eight times during his tenure and have finished below .500 only twice.

“Coach Brown has been a pillar of the athletic department during my tenure at the university,” said Athletic Director Dr. Karen Hjerpe, who joined the department in 1993. “He has brought great leadership to our programs and has been instrumental in alumni involvement for the men’s basketball program.”

Brown has mentored 40 All-PSAC West selections, including 22 first-team honorees, while at Cal U. He helped develop two-time National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) AllAmerican Seth Martin, who ranks No. 10 all-time in in school history with 1,459 points and was inducted into the Cal U Athletic Hall of Fame in

2013. Recently, Brown coached Academic AllAmerican Steve Swiech, who earned All-PSAC West honors in each of his years with the program.

“My goal has always been to impact players, not just in the game of basketball, but in life skills and how to treat and communicate with people,” said Brown. “I’ve been here long enough to have former players bring their children back to campus and introduce me as their coach and that’s special.”

Brown was awarded the prestigious NABC Guardians of the Game Pillar Award for Advocacy in the spring of 2012. He has been tabbed PSAC West Coach of the Year five times and received NABC Regional Coach of the Year twice during his tenure with the Vulcans. In 2011 and 2013, Brown served as head coach for a team that was assembled through Global Sports Academy and played several games across Europe.

Prior to his time at Cal U, Brown served as head coach for eight seasons at Kenyon, an NCAA Division III program. The Lords qualified for the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons after posting 20-plus wins in 1994 and 1995. In 1994, Kenyon won its conference tournament and earned the top seed in the NCAA Tournament before finishing the year with a 24-4 record.

Brown recruited Shaka Smart to play for the Lords and after becoming the head coach at Cal U, Brown hired the recently-graduated Smart

as an assistant coach with the Vulcans. Smart later led VCU to the Final Four in 2011 and is currently in his first season as head coach at Texas.

Brown started his career as a head coach at Sacramento State and coached the Hornets for two seasons during the program’s transition to NCAA Division I. He followed his time at Sacramento State with a season as an assistant coach at Tennessee.

Brown started his coaching career at Ohio after a successful playing career for the Bobcats.

As a player, he was a three-year starter and twotime, all-conference selection for the Bobcats.

After four seasons at Ohio as a coach, Brown served a one-year stint as an assistant at Kent State before accepting the top assistant position at Arkansas with Eddie Sutton, who is one of only 13 coaches in all NCAA divisions with 800-plus career wins. In each of Brown’s five years with the program, the Razorbacks made NCAA Tournament appearances, won two Southwest Conference Championships and remained in the Top 20 rankings.

Brown and his wife Christy reside in California and have two grown children, Aaron and Kerra, and nine grandchildren, including a pair of twins born last spring. His son Aaron played for the Vulcans from 2000-02 and helped the Vulcans post a pair of 23-win seasons.

Irving looks forward to 2016 track season

By Rachael McKriger, Cal Times Sports Editor

Gabby Irving has been running since she was in third grade. However, all the years of running never prepared her for the moment when she crossed the finish line at Youngstown State University National Invitational.

At YSU’s meet, Irving broke Cal U’s school record in the 200-meter dash. Irving didn’t win the race, as she placed second, but she broke Monique Sims record by five-hundredths of a second. Irving crossed the line with 25.28 seconds, breaking Sims 2012 record.

“The moment I crossed the finish line and looked at the clock, it was like a burst of joy came over my body. I remember running over to my teammates Corey [Allen] and Montre [Tates] and pushing them and screaming because I was so excited. I was the happiest girl in the facility. I couldn't believe that I just put my name in the Cal U record books,” Irving said.

Irving, who is majoring in business with a minor in communications, is mainly a short sprinter who runs the 60-meter, 100-meter, and 200-meter

races. She also participates in the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relay races. Before her college career she earned a varsity letter in her freshman year of high school at Garnet Valley High School.

However, high school wasn’t where Irving really started to run. “Running was a part of my life since I was a baby. I was always the fastest in gym class. I was even beating out the boys, so my parents finally started me in AAU track,” she said.

Irving said she initially made the decision to come to Cal U based on the track program, but then visited the campus where she said it was “beautiful and I enjoyed my surroundings.” Irving called running track in college a “huge blessing” and remembered placing at both the indoor and outdoor conference meets in her freshman year.

“That was the most exciting part,” the sophomore said.

Irving credits a lot of her success, not just in track, but also in life to her coaches Daniel Caulfield, Tyler Throener, Sandy Estep, and Jackie (Pacentrilli) Caulfield. “Aside from anything track related, I’ve

learned how to live. They taught me how to live my life the proper way. They taught me how to grow and develop for my future,” Irving said. She also said that for the older members of the track team, but only they explain it to her in a friend-to-friend way.

Irving might have broken a school record, but she’s excited to see how the rest of the season will play out. She expressed her excitement in running in the upcoming PSAC Championships, which will take place at Edinboro University on February 27 and 28. “I cannot wait to run at our conference championships. Coach Sandy tells us after every race, ‘there’s only one race that matters’ and of course that’s PSACs. I can’t wait for the team to put all of our hard work to the test,” she said.

However, that’s not for another few weeks.

Up next for the track team is the Kent State Tune Up meet on February 20. For Irving, at the Kent State meet or any other meet, she will continue to enjoy the adrenaline and pray. “I pray all the time,” Irving said.

Hill, Zanella reach NCAA marks in New York

By Matthew Kifer, Sports Information

Redshirt sophomore Summer Hill (Honesdale, Pa./Honesdale) and senior Alex Zanella (Everett, Pa./Everett) each reached NCAA provisional marks on Friday at the Fastrack National Qualifier.

Hill provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 800-meter run while competing in a field of virtually all NCAA Division I runners. She posted a time of 2 minutes, 15.31 seconds while in the Empire State, which ranks as the fastest time in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) this season by over one full second.

Zanella reached the NCAA provisional mark in the 1-mile run on Friday and also registered the top time in the league this season.

She crossed the finish line in 4:57.84 while running in an event filled with NCAA Division I programs. Zanella also improved her PSACqualifying time in the 800 meters, posting a time of 2:20.24 while competing in the same field as Hill.

Additionally, freshman Jaclyn

Reinbold (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) posted a season-best time of 2:23.97 in the 800 meters while running in a different flight of the event.

Junior Emilia Ricciuti (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) improved her league-qualifying mark in the 400-meter run by one-tenth of a second after crossing the finish line in 1:00.57.

Sophomore Kailah Holmes (Hatfield, Pa./North Penn) set a personal record and finished in second place in the long jump with a distance of 5.31 meters (17-5.25 feet).

She also placed 10th overall in the triple jump with a mark of 11.30 meters (37-1.00 feet).

The Vulcans return to action on Saturday, Feb. 20, when they compete at the Kent State Tune Up.

Women’s basketball and their run for the playoffs

By Danny Beeck, Staff Writer

Imagine possessing a seven game win streak, coming into the final three games of the regular season. After winning the national title, just a year ago, this is the situation that the California University of Pennsylvania women’s basketball team is faced with. In the past seven games of their schedule, where they had the advantage of being at home, and the daunting task of being away, they found a will to succeed. Each and every game of their impressive season, one can see the team unity being amped up in all aspects. Not many people win back to back titles, but if there is any team that could step up to the plate it’s this one.

The Vulcans season started out in a tournament, hosted by the West Liberty Hilltoppers, a tournament in which did not go the Vulcans way.

The loss to the West Liberty women’s team, however, stirred up a drive to succeed, much like the drive the Vulcans had last season en-route to a national title. The numbers in that game, compared to the numbers that this team is putting up now, don’t even come close. In a game against Davis & Elkins on February 6 the same Vulcans team produced 101 points, compared to the 65 points they put up against West Liberty. People could construe this victory in any way they want, however, this game proved that every single girl out on that court is valuable to this team’s success.

In many games throughout the season, stars arose in ways that they haven’t before. Names such as Miki Glenn, Shatara Parsons, Precious Martin, Paige Wright and Seairra Barrett always step up, whether it’s through rebounds, points or even assists. Miki Glenn has averaged 19 points on

the season, while Seairra Barrett leads the team in rebounds with 10.4 a game. This team doesn’t stop with the statistics either, even stepping up against the better teams in their conference. In the game against IUP, in front of a nationally televised crowd on ESPN3, three of the Vulcans had points in the double digits along with 36 team rebounds.

What is most impressive about this team is their young talent off the bench. Emily Suckling had 22 points, along with the title of PSAC West Freshman of the Week due to her performance against a Davis & Elkins team at home. Abbey Sporio, a transfer from

Pitt-Johnstown also had to make her mark with the Vulcans, and in only eight games this season, she tallied 13 steals. Players who still have yet to make their mark are new to this team as well. Look for the younger players to adopt the traits of the senior players on this team and make a splash in the PSAC. All in all, this team is strong, passionate, and will not back down to anyone. Once this team has a goal in mind, they cannot be stopped. The Vulcans will not settle for anything less than another national title, and that’s what is in the back of their minds every time they take the court.
