Super celebration Sports bar patrons share their takeaways from the big game

By Roger Munoz The Collegian

The heavy rain didn’t stop football fans from going out and enjoying the big game at their local sports bars.

This year’s Super Bowl pitted the Denver Broncos against the Seattle Seahawks, and for those who weren’t fans of either team, the Broncos were the clear

favorite at Buffalo Wild Wings.

One reason was that 49ers fans did not want their team’s rival to win the big game.

“I’m going for the Broncos,” Hector Porras, 24, said. “I’m a Niner fan, and I have deep, deep hatred for the Seahawks. I just don’t like the Seahawks, in general. I just don’t like the team.”

Corban Reznicek, 17, agreed with Porras’ thinking.

“I don’t like the Seahawks,” Reznicek said . “They beat the 49ers. That’s my team. I hope [the Broncos] beat them. I hope they beat the Seahawks.”

Jesus Porras, 20, a New England Patriots fan, had a different mindset. He was rooting for the team that eliminated his Patriots.

“I’m going for the Broncos,” Porras said. “They outplayed the Patriots. The thing is, I just want the team that beat my team to win.”

Jeffrey Hodges, 25, sporting a Colts Peyton Manning jersey was rooting for his old quarterback to

win another ring.

“I’ve been a Colts fan for years, so I would like to see Peyton Manning get one more and turn it in,” Hodges said.

He praised Manning for having a good work ethic and being a true role model of the game.

Sadly for the Broncos supporters, the Seahawks dismantled the Broncos in the first half by shutting them out 22-0, and the Broncos were unable to dig themselves out in the second half as the Seahawks poured it on in the second half, winning 43-8.

Alumnus’ start-up gets global attention

By Brianna Viccari The Collegian A Fresno State alumnus and Valley native, Lance Donny is being globally recognized for his startup company, OnFarm, which enables growers to make smarter decisions by making data available on a single platform.

In 2013, OnFarm was awarded the Launch: Silicon Valley 2013 “Most Likely to Succeed” honor in the technology category. That award led OnFarm to participate in the IBM Global Entrepreneur of the Year Award competition

in 2014. Thousands of companies worldwide apply for the award, and OnFarm landed a spot in the top six finalists.

OnFarm began in April 2012 as a subscription service for growers to make coherent decisions based on data that is organized onto one dashboard. At the beginning of 2013, OnFarm had five partners. This year, it has 24 partners.

“We’re the only company that offers integrated data for agriculture worldwide,” said Donny, CEO and owner.

The company combines hardware technologies ranging from weather, soil moisture, satellite images, personal sensors and agronomy tools into a single business dashboard that is personalized for each grower, combining all the information from numerous companies into one platform.

Donny was born and raised in the Valley and grew up in farming. He graduated from Fresno State with a degree in accounting in See ONFARM, Page 6

Middle-class college students who were once only eligible for loans may now qualify for a new state-funded scholarship.

The Middle Class Scholarship (MCS) was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown in July, and the scholarship will be partially available for upcoming fall semester students.

Any University of California or California State University undergraduate student with combined family incomes up to $150,000 can now apply for the scholarship by completing the 2014-15 FAFSA form or the California Dream Act application.

The MCS seeks to give financial assistance to students who have otherwise been unable to qualify for financial aid in the past, said Sandra Jones, director of Central Valley Opportunity and Access Program (Cal-SOAP).

“Increasingly, students from middle-class families have been priced out of college because their parents earn too much money to qualify for low-income programs, but not enough to afford a college education,” Jones said.

The MCS will be phased in over the next four academic years, which means students would not receive the full amount they were awarded until their fourth year, according to the California State Aid Commission.

Students whose families earn up to $100,000 per year may be eligible for a scholarship of up to 40 percent of the mandatory systemwide tuitions and fees, while students whose families earn between $100,001 and $150,000 See SCHOLARSHIP, Page 6

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FEBRUARY

Why we still need Black History Month ... A viewpoint from someone who once thought we did not

By Jesse Franz The Collegian Black history is American history.

Separating the two doesn’t unite us, it divides us.

To truly reach the ideals of equality, we cannot dedicate months of the year to those things that separate us, but we must dedicate our lives to realizing those things that unite us: the common brotherhood of all mankind.

I was once an idealist, and these were some of my beliefs. However, as each year falls to greater experience, I learn that the only way for an idealist to push for progress is through realism. And the reality of the world, the nation and the community we live in is that we are still a people too far divided to yet be inseparably united.

We broke one of God’s rules four centuries ago, and it’s absurd to believe that we mended it in a generation. Although we’ve made strides toward deinstitutionalizing racism in our society, it still lives within our conceptions about our society, and thereby the way we prosecute our laws and the way we live our lives.

When people of color make up 30 per-

cent of our country but 60 percent of our prison population, we must examine our society and our history.

We are left with two possibilities.

Either our society is broken, and we need to change it, or people of color are inherently worse than their white counterparts.

The latter is the very definition of racism, yet too many justify the disproportionate application of our laws through that very logic. Many of those same people speak of a “post-racial” America in the same sentence.

The true and lasting value of national conversations over cases like Treyvon Martin’s is that they start this dialogue.

No one knows with certitude what the true motivation of George Zimmerman was when the shots were fired that killed Martin. However, what we do know is that people who are black are 10 times more likely to die of homicide when a gun is involved.

Truly these debates show more about the true state of race in America than they do of the verdict themselves. People weren’t marching in the streets holding effigies of Martin because of a single verdict. They were marching because of a

THUMBS UP

HILARY CLINTON: Winner of the best tweet of Sunday night: "It's so much much more fun to watch FOX when it's someone else being blitzed and sacked! #SuperBowl"

long history of unresolved and, too often, unaddressed issues.

This conversation is good and necessary, but cannot wait on tragedy.

It must be had in times of peace as it is in times in turmoil. That is why Black History Month is so important, because even though nothing changes as the date changes from Jan. 31 to Feb. 1 at least it presents a forum once a year to stand together and discuss the issue of race in America.

It presents an opportunity to ground the culture, struggle, and contribution of African-Americans in a history that many are illiterate of in America. A history that is often relegated to the footnotes by the eurocentrism of our educational system.

While I still maintain hope that my idealism will one day become reality, we must come to the realization as a nation that the conversation of racism and inequality in America is not over.

We will be having it for the rest of our lives. And until we stand united enough, both within ourselves and as members of a diverse society, we must acknowledge, participate and contribute in times of peace if we are to move forward.

1. Peyton Manning has proven himself as a great “regular-season quarterback” There was that whole issue about Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman saying that Manning “throws ducks.”

Well, for three passes in the first half, Manning actually threw geese. The interceptions were not something that should be thrown during the biggest game of the season – and faltering under pressure was something that Seattle was predicted to do.

Instead, Seattle played like they were the experienced team. And it shouldn’t come as a surprise; the media placed a lot of pressure on the Seahawks.

If there was a time when Manning needed to show his “superstar status,” it should have been during this game. After all, it was his second Super Bowl in his career.

2. The Super Bowl commercials make less and less sense Manning wasn’t the only one throwing geese during the game. It seemed like the Super Bowl commercials this year tried too hard to be amazing. If a company is going to spend $4 million on a 30-second promotional spot, then it should be captivating, amazing and almost a full-feature film.

Let’s take the TurboTax commercial, for instance. Starts off with a guy who is sitting home alone, watching teams he doesn’t root for in the Super Bowl. Next thing you know, he’s doing his taxes on his computer.

As a fan of the Patriots (who were eliminated by goose-throwing Manning), I should do my taxes this year through Turbo Tax, I guess.

If you are the fortunate person who bet that there was going to be a safety (a 1 in 20 chance), then I have one question: can I borrow a dollar?

4. New York wasn’t such a bad place to host the Super Bowl Ever since MetLife Stadium was picked to host the big game in 2011, there had been a fear of inclement weather causing issues during the game. On Sunday, those fears were assuaged when the weather was gracious. There was a little bit of rain, and weather was a little chilly (as is a typical New York evening), but it was different from the catastrophic blizzard that was feared. And the best part was that there was not a blackout.

‘Topdog/Underdog’ Performance Brings Laughter and Drama Two Fresno State students take on production of Pulitzer Prize-winning play

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2014

Literary Works Inspire Artists’ Moves Caris and Company dancers perform pieces based on different literary works

By Royce Dunn Special to The Collegian

By Megan Ginise Special to The Collegian A student-run production of “Topdog/ Underdog,” under the direction of Fresno State theater professor Thomas Whit-Ellis, captivated audiences on Friday and Saturday.

“Topdog,” written by Suzan Lori-Parks, won a Pulitzer Prize for best drama in 2002 and details the lives of two African-American men living and struggling against fate and one another.

Parks wove an intertwined comedic drama that is both ironic and historical.

Ryan Woods, a theater arts major, and Myles Bullock, who is majoring in theater arts and business, gave deft, intuitive performances as the two brothers at odds.

The character Lincoln, played by Woods, adorned with whiteface and a beard, works at a steady job as the actor of a shooting-game arcade type version of President Abraham Lincoln’s murder, where paying customers can relive and re-enact the famous event as the shooter.

His brother Booth, played by Bullock, steals or “boosts” for a living and constantly tries to one-up his older brother through the use of a card game called “three-card monte.”

“Topdog” was a satiric performance of a very wellconstructed, deeply focused play.

With a cast member sheet of only two, both Bullock and Woods showed depth and charisma that captivated audiences.

From the comedy of seeing the image of Lincoln flailing like some sort of sea-animal on the floor yelling expletives to Booth’s emotional last scene as he speaks to his brother’s limp body, there is a poignancy to the humor and the sadness.

The dualism of the play repeats itself again and again in a motif of conning and cards, of fate and choice.

Whit-Ellis spoke about the importance of this particular game the boys play with one another.

“It’s a con game,” he said. “These people are on the grift, which means that they make a living out of tricking people out of their money, and three-card monte is just another form of grifting. Just like being a pool shark or a basketball player on the court, you

“Underneath that there’s a subplot of how these kids were raised, how they were abandoned by their own parents, how they were forced to live on the street at very early ages. They have to survive.”

Ellis praised Parks’ work for it’s versatility as well as its importance starting off African-American history month with a gritty performance.

“On the surface, it’s kind of negative, but underneath, it’s about family,” Ellis said. “It’s about racism and classism and trying to survive and how that’s perverted both their motivations and their ability to operate kind-of normally in society. All the layers…

SCHOLARSHIPS: ONFARM: Finalists in entrepreneurship Middle Class competition Scholarship ‘makes sense’ CONTINUED from page 1

CONTINUED from page 1 per year may be eligible for a reduced scholarship of no less than 10 percent of tuitions and fees.

Dr. Antonio Avalos, associate professor and chair of the Fresno State economics department, said that the MCS is a logical step toward supporting higher education.

“It makes sense to spend public money educating people. I mean this is what Fresno State, the CSU, the UC system is all about,” Avalos said. “We are receiving some subsidies from the state because we understand that educating the population can have a really positive impact socially, culturally and economically. An educated workforce is more beneficial than an uneducated

workforce.”

Bernard Ogden, director of the financial aid department at Fresno State, said that the program will help students in the long run.

“I’m not sure how significant the money will be this year, but over the next three, four years, it will become more significant,” Ogden said.

Fresno State students graduate with an average of $17,000 in student-loan debt, and that number is increasing, Ogden said.

“It’s one of the things that drives me here,” he said. “I want students to have a good experience on this campus, to be engaged in this campus, to be able to afford this campus, but also I want them to be able to afford it when they leave.”

OnFarm was a way to combine his background in agriculture and software, he said.

Donny is also on the steering committee for Blue Tech Valley, a group made up of individuals from the private, public and academic sectors that work to commercialize water technology and innovations. Blue Tech Valley’s main headquarters is located in the Water, Energy and Technology (WET) Incubator on Fresno State’s campus.

“I am very excited that one of our WET member companies is one of only two U.S. finalists,” said Helle Petersen, director of the WET center. “Founded and headquartered right here in Fresno, OnFarm has developed and commercialized what will be the gold standard in smart agriculture.”

OnFarm was one of two North

American finalists for the IBM award. The other company, Coriell Life Sciences, is based in New Jersey.

The other six finalists come from countries around the globe, including Geeking from Latin America; Reengen, Temando and TMC from Eastern Europe; and Nova Lumos from Israel.

Donny said OnFarm impacts everyone, seeing that the global agriculture market is so large.

“Ag is really important right now, and people outside of ag get that,” he said. “There are huge demands for food and water right now. Using technology is the only way growers can meet that demand.”

The finals for the IBM award will be held this Thursday in San Francisco.

RUNNING AWAY WITH IT: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Percy Harvin (11) runs down field past Denver Broncos safety Mike Adams for a first down in the first quarter of Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

SEAHAWKS: Seattle defense, early deficit too much for Denver to overcome in rout CONTINUED from page 8 Marshawn Lynch that put Seattle ahead 15-0 with exactly 12 minutes remaining in the second quarter.

At that point in the game, Seattle had a 165-11 edge in yards and 9-0 in first downs.

Denver finally got a couple first downs on its initial drive of the second quarter.

But on a third-and-13 from the 35, Manning was hit by Avril as he threw with the ball falling into the hands of linebacker Malcolm Smith, who had an easy path to a 69-yard touchdown that made it 22-0 with 3:21 left in the first half, and had the non-Seahawk fans in the crowd beginning to look to the Bruno Mars halftime show to make it interesting again.

Then came Harvin’s return, sparking a second half that

increasingly had the feel of a Seahawks home game as orange-clad Denver fans began to leave in droves.

Seattle scored again with 2:38 to play in the third quarter when Russell Wilson _ on this day, a quiet star _ to make it 36-0.

Denver averted the embarrassment of potentially suffering the first shutout in Super Bowl history when Demaryius Thomas scored on a 14-yard pass on the final play of the third quarter.

But it was a momentary intrusion into Seattle’s fun.

Wilson threw a 10-yard pass to Baldwin early in the fourth quarter to make it 43-8 as the party on the Seahawks sideline kicked into high gear in what might be the greatest moment in the history of Seattle sports.

The Seahawks had been

as far as a conference title game just twice since entering the NFL in 1976 before this season, a year that began with high expectations after a young team began to find itself late in the 2012 season to advance to the Divisional round.

Seahawks players, in fact, began talking Super Bowl the minute they lost in Atlanta a year ago, and Seattle was a popular pick among pre-season prognosticators.

Still, some wondered how a team that ended the season as the seventh-youngest in the NFL would handle the hype.

Turns out, they did it “very well,” the joking response coach Pete Carroll often gives to questions about how he thinks his team will handle something.

The win also gave Carroll a slice of coaching history as he

became just the third coach to win both a college national title and a Super Bowl _ the others being Jimmy Johnson (Miami, Dallas Cowboys) and Barry Switzter (Oklahoma, Dallas Cowboys).

The Seahawks turned to Carroll after the 2009 season, Seattle having won just a combined nine games in the previous two years, and surprisingly firing coach Jim Mora after just one season.

Carroll, who had twice been fired by NFL teams (Jets, Patriots) before rehabbing his career at USC, was anxious to show he could succeed at the highest level of the game.

He, too, set a high bar when the season began, saying the team expected it could get to, and win, the Super Bowl.

And if there was a time that seemed an unbelievable thought, it doesn’t anymore.

Men’s Golf: Jessup leads ‘Dogs to victory The Fresno State men’s golf team kicked off its spring season Jan. 27 at the University of California, Irvine’s Anteater Invitational.

This was a two-day, 54-hole tournament that took place at the Mesa Verde Country Club.

SUPER SEAHAWKS

Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl in 43-8 rout over Denver

By Bob Condotta McClatchy-Tribune EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Believe it, Seattle -- after 38 years, the Seahawks are finally Super Bowl champions.

In fact, by the time it ended, the only thing unbelievable about this one was how easy it was, as the Seahawks cruised to a 43-8 win over the Denver Broncos to take Super Bowl XLVIII in front of 82,529 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night.

A young and brash Seattle defense made Peyton Manning and Denver’s record-setting offense merely look old and slow, dominat-

ing the action from the start and forcing two first-half turnovers as the Seahawks jumped out to a 22-0 halftime lead, the third-largest in Super Bowl history.

Percy Harvin then ended any thoughts of a Denver comeback as quickly as possible, returning the opening kickoff of the second half 87 yards for a touchdown to give Seattle, which entered the game as 2.5-point underdogs in most sports books, a 29-0 lead.

Harvin’s touchdown, as did a safety on the first play of the game, came 12 seconds into the half _ a symmetry that Seattle’s fans, the self-named 12’s, surely found fitting on a day when everything went the Seahawks’ way.

The Super Bowl title is the first championship for a Seattle team in one of the four major professional sports leagues since the now-departed Sonics captured the NBA title in 1979.

And it came in the Seahawks’ second

Super Bowl appearance, Seattle having lost to Pittsburgh 21-10 in Detroit following the 2005 season.

The game turned Seattle’s way from the start, as a mis-timed snap on Denver’s first offensive play led to a Seahawks safety, credited to Cliff Avril, just 12 seconds into the game _ the fastest score in Super Bowl history.

Seattle turned the ensuing possession into a field goal, and then after forcing a threeand-out, drove for another field goal.

Then came a pair of back-breakers forced by the Seattle defense.

Late in the first quarter, Manning threw a wobbly pass over the middle under heavy pressure into the hands of Seattle safety Kam Chancellor.

That led to a 1-yard-touchdown run by
