Ombuds reaches out to SG german lopez | NEWS EDITOR The Ombuds Office made strides Wednesday to become more intertwined with Undergraduate Student Government.

Ombuds is an organization that tries to help students and faculty solve campus-related problems in a confidential, informal environment.

“Most people want to solve problems informally, and we can do that,” said Jean Griffin, associate Ombuds of the UC Ombuds Office. “We find ourselves informally involved in every process on campus.”

In a presentation to Student Government, Griffin said the organization could help Student Government find ways to solve problems.

“The stats I brought are specifically for [Student Government],” Griffin said. “These are areas where we can hope to work together more.”

While Ombuds has a confidentiality agreement with any student or faculty member who seeks help, the organization keeps track of information that could be useful to Student Government.

“We capture demographic information,” Griffin said. “We know what [problems] students are coming to the Ombuds Office for.”

The information could help Student Government target and solve new problems, Griffin said.

One problem Ombuds has been dealing with is a difference in graderelated complaints between freshmen and

sophomore. Griffin offered some ideas to explain why the difference exists.

“Part of it is awareness,” she said. “[Freshmen] may not even realize they can [come to us].”

If Ombuds became more involved with Student Government, students would be more aware of resources provided by the Ombuds Office, Griffin said.

Griffin also urged Student Government to seek out more information I necessary.

“This could be an ongoing dialogue,” Griffin said. “I hope we can get connected again.”

EPS calls for human trafficking law Anthony orozco | staff reporter The Office of Ethnic Program and Services (EPS) hosted an informational panel discussion on human trafficking Wednesday.

The discussion, hosted in cooperation with Latinos En Accion, was the third event of the last week of Hispanic Heritage Month.

The panel was made of Paul Bernish, director of Antislavery and Human Trafficking Initiatives for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center; Howard Tolley, author of 10 articles in the Human Rights Encyclopedia; Ursula Barrera-Richards, who is on the Ohio Commission for Hispanic Latino Affairs; and Jessica Donohue-Dioh, coordinator for End Slavery Cincinnati.

“We came up with this event to educate students about what the Latino community was struggling with,” said Yakaira Ramos, program director for EPS

and Advisor of Latinos en Accion.

“We wanted the population of UC to know about this issue that is affecting Cincinnati, Ohio, and our nation.”

The panel discussion also screened three videos on the issue of human trafficking and its victims. Attention was brought to the fact that Toledo, Ohio is the No. 1 city in the nation for victims and traffickers per capita.

“Ohio is seen as nexus of human trafficking because of the number of interstate highways that pass through it and its proximity to Canada,” Tolley said.

Human trafficking is defined as any labor caused by force, bribe or coercion. It is estimated that at any point in time, there is a minimum of 12 million victims being trafficked in the world.

“I’m glad that they are putting the information out there for people,” said Virginia Vega-Siferd, 28, a University of Cincinnati graduate law student.“I’ve studied

Republican Congressional candidate Steve Chabot headlined the southwest Cincinnati Tea Party event hosted at The Farm banquet hall in Delhi Monday night, seeking to sway voters in the stretch run of the election season.

Chabot’s address, the evening’s final speech, began with Chabot urging the crowd to “hold us accountable and make sure we are doing what we said we would do.” Chabot is running for Ohio’s First Congressional seat against incumbent Democrat Steve Driehaus, a position Chabot once held for 14 years.

The former congressman covered several topics during his speech, including his mission of repealing the current federal health care bill.

Chabot also defended himself in regard to a recent advertisement put out by the Driehaus campaign, which shows Greg Tyree, the son of a Korean War veteran. In the commercial, Tyree explained that, while in office, Chabot did not listen to his pleas to get the medals his father had earned in the war, but that Congressman Driehaus did.

Chabot explained, “We started the process, but the medals came after we were gone and [Driehaus] took the credit.”

Chabot was joined at the meeting by fellow local Republican candidates Chris Monzel, a Cincinnati City Council member running for Hamilton County commissioner; Mike Robison, a Republican candidate for Ohio’s House of Representatives 31st District seat; and Bob Mecklenborg, current Ohio state representative.

Each of the political candidates were urged to speak about what the Tea Party’s core principles of fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets meant to them.

The southwest chapter of the Cincinnati Tea Party is organized by Nancy and George Brunemann, who have seen an increase in the amount of volunteers willing to participate in the group’s efforts to rally voter support for the candidates they endorse.

“It has been encouraging to see the transition from passive to active participation,” George Brunemann said.

The meetings, hosted almost every month, have seen an average attendance of 170 to 250 people.

The all-time high of 500 attendees for the group’s meeting was when Senatorial candidate Rob Portman delivered a speech to the group in July.

ENTERTAINMENT TOPICS Toppers doesn’t deliver flavor

Weekend Edition Oct. 14 | 2010

NEWSRECORD.ORG

HOT nick grever

Chip Reeves | Staff reporter

Snob comes clean Hello, my name is Nick Grever and I have a confession to make. I am a music snob.

Now, that isn’t the confession; anyone who reads this column or any of my articles in this fine publication could probably figure that out.

The confession is this: I am a music snob who listens to some very, very bad music sometimes.

There, it’s out in the open.

I’m that guy. Everybody’s group of friends has one: The guy who will make fun of others’ music choices, but defend to the death what they listen to.

Just the other day, I defended listening to old Atreyu, a band that is considered by many “true” metal fans to be lame or, at the very least, sellouts. Hell, I’ve made fun of their new albums on many an occasion. But of course, when I jam to “The Curse,” it’s all right. It’s from my high school years; it’s a CD with memories attached.

Tell me that you grew up with Atreyu but don’t know all the words to “Bleeding Mascara” and I’ll show you a liar. I could go on, but this column has to stop at some point. Suffice it to say, I’ve got my arguments down to a science nowadays.

I could say the same for musical acts with no metal affiliation at all. Case in point: Lady Gaga. The woman is my kryptonite. I’ve tried to resist her charms, her infectious beats, hilariously subversive lyrics and oh-so-revealing outfits. But try as I might, I failed. I have both “The Fame” and “The Fame Monster” on my iPod. Playing any band that starts with “L” quickly leads to a quick jaunt through the Ga’s catalogue. Lamb of God followed by “Poker Face.”

For any “true” metal music snob, this is a cardinal sin. I mean, she is pop incarnate. Her beats are machine driven, her lyrics have no substance; her music is designed to get the dance floor moving and not much else. But you know what? I have just stopped caring. Sorry, but I can’t hear the complaints from my fellow snobs with “Bad Romance” blaring through my headphones.

Everyone in our generation is a music snob to some extent.

We all have our favorite genres with their respective “good” and “bad” bands. We all have the genres we simply don’t understand (How people can listen to modern country and hip-hop I will never comprehend.). But we also have certain bands that we’ll defend until the end of time.

Badmouth Bleeding Through or Converge, and we shall have words my friend. But mention Li’l Wayne or Drake, and I’ll have some choice words for you. Just as a side note, why do people want Weezy out of jail?

He’s there for weapons charges after all — but that’s another subject for another rant.

The point is, our age group has access to thelargest amount of music that has ever been produced. Our parents had rock ‘n’ roll, our grandparents had big band.

We have so many genres and sub-genres available to us, it borders on ridiculous. We should just be grateful that we have so many options and find the music that speaks to us, no matter what others say.

We’re all snobs, we all listen to bad music and that’s awesome.

It makes sense why Toppers Pizza awarded its first 50 customers free food for a year when it opened Oct. 2. The food promising to “Spank Your Buds” is mediocre at best and left my buds entirely un-spanked and, truthfully, barely grazed.

Upon first look, Toppers is doing it right.

Their small shop on Calhoun Street is open late every day, plus it’s clean, smells like pizza and offers a waiting area with leather couches in front of four LCD televisions.

The food is also relatively cheap, and all of the promotions are aimed directly at college students, including a “frat boy” wielding a paddle labeled Toppers in pseudo-Greek writing on the front of their menu.

The rest, however, has been done before — and done better.

Between my friends and I, we tried the Southwest Turkey Club grinder, three types of TopperStix (their version of breadsticks) and a Taco Topper (a taco pizza).

The grinder was by far the worst part of the meal. If any enjoyment of your food comes from its visual appeal, you are starting in the red with this one.

The grinder looked like a pre-made sub you can get for $3 at United Dairy Farmers.

The bread was as doughy as the Pillsbury

The food promising to “Spank Your Buds” is mediocre at best and left my buds entirely un-spanked and truthfully, barely grazed.

Doughboy’s uncooked belly, which offered an odd texture to the sub. The scarce meat looked prepackaged, while the “zesty chipotle sauce” tasted like slightly flavored mayo. The bacon appeared to be a precooked, storebought type. Any other sub shop in the area is a better bet than Toppers.

The TopperStix, of which we had original, pepperoni and taco, all tasted the same. The only true flavor difference I tasted was when I added the dipping sauce. In actuality, they just tasted like overly greasy garlic bread, which my aching stomach could vouch for 30 minutes later.

The Taco Topper wasn’t half bad, although they brought out the wrong order the first time and took 15 minutes to get a new one (which doesn’t really bother me, but would probably bother most). Covered in taco sauce, taco meat, mozzarella, cheddar, lettuce, tortilla chips, black olives, tomatoes and green onions, with salsa and sour cream on the side, it’s quite a bevy of flavors.

The center of the pizza was not as cooked as the rest (I assume this is because they wanted to fix their mistake quickly), and most of the toppings fell off as I picked up a piece.

It still tasted good enough to brighten my mood and temporarily erase my memory of the previous disappointments.

Toppers also offers wings and quesadillas which I opted not to gamble my money on after my first experience.

In the end, my crazed anti-Toppers rant will amount to little, as they are doing one thing more important to food business in Clifton than any others. They stay open late every day, most vitally on weekends. People stumbling out of Woody’s after a long night of boozing will find Toppers’ prices mind-

bogglingly good and the grease-laden food worthy of their money.

As for me, when I read the statement on Toppers’ menu that explained, “Why you should put us in your mouth,” I just gagged.

Heartfelt new film achieves perfect blend of comedy and drama

LET ME OUT Zach Galifianakis plays Bobby, a troubled adult psychiatric ward patient who looks after the young Craig during his five days at the hospital.

Kelly Tucker | Entertainment EDITOR Stressed, depressed and searching for meaning, 16-year-old Craig effortlessly embodies today’s youth in “It’s Kind of a Funny Story.”

The troubled young man, played by Keir Gilchrist, checks himself into the psychiatric ward of a hospital at the beginning of the film after months of struggling with academic, romantic and social pressures. Afraid that he might commit suicide, he hopes for medication or some sort of quick fix to send him on his way.

Instead, he is faced with five days in the ward with adults and teenagers struggling with an array of mental illness. Here, he meets Bobby (Zach Galifianakis), a quirky but mysterious patient who shows Craig the ropes. He also meets Noelle (Emma Roberts), a young girl admitted for self-mutilation, who he immediately falls for.

While the film definitely has its funny moments, it addresses the serious subject of suicide and depression with cinematic grace.

Directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, who previously collaborated on the 2008 sports drama “Sugar” and the 2006 obscurely dark drama “Half Nelson,” have conquered the

realm of comedy quite smoothly.

Galifianakis deserves recognition for portraying what might be his most serious role to date. Although he is famous for providing outrageous comic relief in films like “The Hangover” and “Dinner for Schmucks,” the comedian’s acting range becomes evident during his character’s darker scenes.

For example, after bombing an interview to join a group home, Bobby screams into a couch cushion and tears apart the shelves in the ward, tearfully shrieking as Craig watches in horror.

In another scene, Bobby and Craig have a heart-to-heart in which Bobby finally reveals his reason for staying at the ward.

He tells Craig he would give anything to be

in the young man’s shoes, and that if he were given the opportunity, he would “just … live.” Who knew Zach Galifianakis could get so philosophical?

That said, “It’s Kind of a Funny Story” is full of hilarious moments — the kind that make you feel guilty for laughing, but are impossible to stifle. Highlights include Craig and Bobby covered in glitter, lip-synching to “Under Pressure” in a music class fantasy.

Bobby also insists that Craig use him as practice for talking to girls, which is both painfully awkward and undeniably funny to witness.

Young actors Gilchrist and Roberts portray complex, misunderstood teenagers so realistically that it’s impossible not to identify with them as they struggle through their vulnerable time in the ward.

The message of the story is simple: Despite the seemingly intolerable stress that people face, we must be grateful for what we have and enjoy life for what it has to offer.

Just in time for midterms, I recommend that any student put down the books for a few hours and check out this film. It’s an overall feel-good comedy that makes for a therapeutic mid quarter indulgence.

Gory film back for revenge “I Spit On Your Grave,” remake unnecessary Sean peters | Chief reporter

SWEET, SWEET REVENGE Rape victim Jennifer Hills, played by Sarah Butler in the upcoming remake, takes her anger out on one of her violent attackers.

There looks to be nothing spectacular about the remake of the 1978 horror film, “I Spit on Your Grave.”

Starring Sarah Butler as vengeful heroine Jennifer Hills, “I Spit on Your Grave” follows her attempts to finish writing her novel in a rented cabin in the middle of deep woods. There, she encounters ignorant locals who savagely beat, rape and leave the battered woman for dead. She survives their attacks and begins her tirade of retribution against the men who assailed her.

Theaters are flooded with redundant, rehashed

moneymakers that feed off nostalgia and iconic brand loyalty. Even without seeing the new film (which is surfing limited release and not yet confirmed for showings in Cincinnati), the chances of this violent, exploitative piece of cinema breaking any new ground are unlikely.

If you’ve never seen the original film, it’s recommended you understand that the taboo brutality in “I Spit on Your Grave” is a part of the experience.

Viewers must gauge from their own reactions who the villain and who the victim is after a certain point.

The reverse cat-and-mouse aspect of this scenario is a big

NEWSRECORDENT@GMAIL.COM | 513.556.5913

draw for fans of the first film.

The original title of the 1978 film, “Day of the Woman,” signified a strong feminist theme. Looking at how Jennifer empowers herself after her tragedy by eliminating the aggressors, this should be taken in a social context as well, as 1978 was a turbulent and exciting time of progress for women’s rights in America.

It makes me wonder how, if at all, the remake will set its own cultural context for this day and age.

SPOTLIGHT THE BRIEFING ROOM UCPD Lt. Jan Deemer (center) and Capt. Jeff Corcoran gathered with other officers to take roll call during which officers were told important information and where they would be stationed during the Bearcat football game against the Miami Redhawks.

Photos by Eamon Queeney | Photo Editor MAN ON CAMPUS Deemer was responsible for traffic coming to and from campus and Nippert Stadium, making sure all posts were taken care of during the game.

Behind the scenes at a Bearcat football game Ariel cheung AND GIN a. ANDO | THE NEWS RECORD D.J. Woods returns the opening kickoff at 1900 hours. Isaiah Pead gets a 10-yard gain and 25 seconds into the game, Zach Collaros throws a 48-yard touchdown pass straight into the arms of Armon Binns.

As the football game against Miami University begins Saturday, Oct. 9, the University of Cincinnati Police Division is ready and to go. After all, they’ve been making plans since last winter.

“We look at what lessons were learned and decided what we can improve,” says Capt. Jeff Corcoran, UCPD assistant police chief. “The basic security plan is finalized usually in June or July.”

From there, adjustments are continuously made before, after and during each game.

UCPD has eyes everywhere; from the 20 UCPD officers in the stadium to Corcoran and his team in the cmmand post, there isn’t much room for mistakes.

From the first roll call to the last clock out, the delicate dance of football security is played out with extreme care. As with a complex Viennese waltz or fast-paced tango, the key is to make it look effortless.

Corcoran, the detail commander, has been in the UCPD office, located in 3 Edwards Center, for roughly an hour. It’s time for the first staff roll call, during which officers are told where they will be stationed for the game and given any game-specific information.

View a behind-thescenes slideshow online @ NEWSRECORD.ORG The stations continue to adjust based on which officers are available. Everyone in UCPD knows not to count on having the day off for home games — everyone is needed.

For Saturday’s game, only one officer was allowed off because “his wife had the nerve to have a baby today,” Corcoran explains jokingly.

The officers on duty are stationed all across campus.

Some are posted to the Bearcat Family Zone on Sheakley Lawn, where families gather two hours before kickoff. Others are sent to protect various members of the football community, coaches and referees in particular.

In addition to the 20 officers stationed around the stadium, UCPD has 14 sheriff’s deputies dealing with traffic around the campus. The Cincinnati Police Department sends in six additional officers and representatives of the UC athletic department, the sheriff’s department and the fire department are all stationed in the command post.

The command post is a miracle of efficiency. Three flat-screen monitors, a projector and screen and a wide table that eventually seats the heads of each department. They’re all stationed in a UCPD office.

The televisions show live camera footage from three of UCPD’s 11 cameras stationed around the campus. Corcoran has the power to zoom in to the extent where he can pick out

an individual seat in Nippert Stadium. If there’s an issue during the game, Corcoran can focus in on the instigator, radio to the troops on the field and put a stop to the shenanigans.

“We can see better up here than you can in the stadium,” Corcoran says.

One of the biggest problems the coalition of safety and security faces? Traffic.

“It’s like the [demarcated zone] line of North and South Korea,” Corcoran says.

He laughs, but he’s right — directing traffic on Corry Street ultimately becomes a test of synchronizing a seemingly never-ending line of cars.

The third and final roll call takes place at 4:30 p.m. — 16:30 in military time — and then the real fun begins.

In a white Ford SUV, UCPD Lt. Jan Deemer is an intimidating figure. His eyes seem to be perpetually squinting and he has the posture of a person who’s worn a badge for a while. In Deemer’s case, 31 years.

“I’ve done just about everything here,” Deemer says. “[UC] is a really, really, really busy place.”

In reality, though, Deemer is an understanding person — even though the shotgun strapped to the headliner of his SUV says there’s a line that can be crossed. He knows the campus isn’t teeming with murderers, and he patrols his beat with the collected cool of a veteran. He’s had innumerable tours of duty.

Calhoun Street, Corry Street and any other street not closed by the police are filling up, and Deemer’s patrol is just starting. As the sun begins to set, every conceivable way to enter a campus garage or get near Nippert Stadium begins to congest.

BEARCAT FOOTBALL SECURITY Deemer and a fellow officer take caution tape out of the squad car’s trunk (top).

Deemer talks to a state trooper (above).

The cheering from Nippert Stadium swells as kickoff officially marks the start of the game. While the command

SECURITY WATCH DOG Officers watch from the command center (top), and several officers discuss the game’s security (bottom). post is an intricate web, it is not tangled, but concentrated and efficient. Deemer asks a question, someone responds.

Any time a message comes over the radio calling for Deemer’s post, He hushes the people to make sure he gets the word. Nothing to worry about this time, though.

Meanwhile, the command post continues to run smoothly.

A group of tailgaters on the roof of Campus Green Garage was the only action until kickoff, and Corcoran handled the incident with ease. A quick call to the fire safety officer doing rounds and the problem is solved.

There is also some concern when the athletic department’s text messaging system receives a complaint from a crowd member stuck near smokers in Section 111. Corcoran zooms in on the rule breakers and radios a call to a nearby officer.

But the biggest excitement is the end of the South Carolina vs.

Alabama football game playing on the projector screen.

As the Bearcats’ score soars into the 30s and halftime looms, the command post is suddenly up in arms. A small group of unauthorized people wandered through Shoemaker Center.

When an officer approached them, they took off. Jacob Rogers scores a 24-yard field goal.

While Corcoran runs the show in the heart of 3 Edwards, Deemer cruises around campus

NEWSRECORD.LIVING@GMAIL.COM | 513.556.5913

checking access points while simultaneously patrolling the streets just off campus.

The buzz in the command post slowly dies down. There is talk about a minor misdemeanor as the Shoemaker wanderers are apprehended. There is some confusion on the radio as an officer begins to abandon her post to track down the trespassers. After the officer continues to jam the radio lines with unneccesary information and disobeys the command to stay at her post, Corcoran screams into the radio, “Tell her to get off my channel! [Her commanding officer] did not put an assistance call out.”

He then storms out of the office to remedy the situation.

Deemer stands near the top of a hill looking down at nearly 28,000 people inside Nippert Stadium cheering.Within the next 40 minutes, a cannon will sound.

The Bearcats will be up 45-3.

Thousands of people will be cheering and stomping in the stands. And during the next 40 minutes, Deemer wears the same smiling expression beneath the wide brim of his hat.

Deemer is still energetic despite being seven hours on the job. People begin streaming out of Nippert. UC’s offense cannot be stopped by the Redhawks.

Indirectly, Collaros’ arm, Woods, Binns, Pead, Goebel and Guidugli’s legs helped UCPD out as the game finished — something Deemer is grateful for.

The command post crew watches as crowds flood the exit gates, confident that Miami won’t make a 42-point comeback.

This is good news for the whole security team — hopefully traffic will be less congested as people leave in stages.

Members of the command post team have also left the game — the parking services staff member did a quick sweep of the parking garages during the first quarter and headed home. The pizza Corcoran ordered at the beginning of the game has been steadily devoured, and the crew expects smooth sailing for the rest of the night.

“It’s like I told the team today,” Sunahara said. “Saturday’s match is the most important match you’re going to play this year — at least up until this point.”

The Bearcats are one of the top offensive teams in the Big East, leading the conference in kills and assists averaged per set.

But the Cardinals are one of the league’s best defensive teams, leading the Big East in blocks and opponent hitting percentage.

“They’re a good offensive team, too, I wouldn’t put it past them,” Sunahara said. “They’re also a good blocking team. They’re probably the best blocking team in the conference and it will be a good match. Our hitting versus their blocking, we’ll see who wins and how it goes.”

The Bearcats enter the match riding a nine-game winning streak, including six-straight Big East wins.

“We’ve just got to maintain what we’re doing,” Sunahara said. “The kids are working hard. We had yesterday off, so they got time to relax a little bit and recoup from the weekend.”

The game draws to an end, and the command post is ready to call it a day.

An elderly fan had to be transported to the hospital after fainting, but it was a relatively calm night, especially with the solid win on the field. This time, the security dance went smoothly and without error.

Deemer’s glad traffic is flowing, but unhappy that he has to drive through it. He almost gets clipped twice while patrolling side streets but doesn’t flash his lights. He backs into a parking spot in the Corry Garage. It’s the ninth hour of his patrol but he’s energized, swinging the door open back into the station, back into the quiet and back into the controlled chaos, walking in through the door with the blue sign telling anyone ordered or willing to venture out of the DMZ, “Let’s be careful out there.”

hopefully going to embody a lot of the things the first title team embodied.”

After beating John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins in the ’62 national semifinals, the Bearcats again beat the Buckeyes in the national championship game, this time 71-59.

“I can’t get Ohio State to play us now,” Thomas said. “Every time I call up there, for some reason it’s like thoseVerizon commercials of whatever the carrier is where you lose

service right in the middle of a call. For some reason, Ohio State loses service whenever I try to attempt to schedule a basketball series.”

In honor of the championship teams, this season’s Bearcats will don ’60s throwback jerseys throughout the next two seasons.

“We’ll wear them once every month in designated games and I’ll try to make sure we pick our biggest game of each month to wear those throwback jerseys,”Cronin said.

SPORTS UC loses, Cards claim top spot Hunter Tickel | Senior Reporter On the rain-drenched field at Gettler Stadium, the University of Cincinnati men’s soccer team put up a valiant effort against No. 2/5 Louisville before being worn down in the second-half Wednesday.

The match pitted the only 3-0 teams in the Big East against each other with first place in the league’s Red Division on the line.

“I thought we came back and picked up the level,” head coach Hylton Dayes said. “Our guys went into halftime thinking we’re in this game and there’s a second half to play.”

Louisville defeated Cincinnati — its biggest conference rival — 3-1 with two second-half

goals after nearly facing a deficit at halftime.

After the Cardinals struck first, junior midfielder Matt Bahner knotted the match at one in the 35th minute with a diving header off a deflected Zach Patterson cross.

In the remainder of the first half, Cincinnati had a flurry of chances and looked as if they might take a surprising lead. But the Bearcats were unable to capitalize on their chances and went into the half tied 1-1.

“Louisville is a very great team and consistent in what they do,” Dayes said. “When they put their foot on the accelerator, I think our guys couldn’t [match them].”

At the start of the second half, Louisville dominated possession similarly to the majority of the first 45 minutes as UC bunkered down once again and put several players behind the ball.

“You have to give Louisville credit,” Dayes

said. “I think this occasion was a big occasion for our guys. Maybe they were overwhelmed, tentative and panicked at times.”

The Cardinals opened their second-half scoring account in the 63rd minute as Nick DeLeon went on a breakaway, nailing the far post to give Lousivlle a 2-1 lead.

The final nail in the coffin came in the 73rd minute when Charlie Campbell fired in his second goal of the night, giving the Cardinals a decisive victory.

“We had breakdowns in the back,” Dayes said. “That was the first breakaway goal we have given up all year.”

Next, the Bearcats travel to Seton Hall Saturday for a 7 p.m. kick off.

“We’re going to Seton Hall and they may be struggling, but you’re only as good as your last game and we lost ours,” Dayes said.

Cincy set for reigning champs

BEARCATS CELEBRATE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

UC BASKETBALL ROYALTY Members of the 1961 and 1962 national championship basketball teams show off the present-day versions of their jerseys. The 2010 Bearcats plan to wear the throwback uniforms once a month during the season.

The last time the University of Cincinnati and the University of Louisville volleyball teams met was in the championship game of the 2009 Big East tournament — a match the Bearcats lost 3-1.

This season, the No. 21 Bearcats are looking to dish out some revenge against the reigning champs when the squad travels to face Louisville at 2 p.m. Saturday at Cardinal Arena.

“It’s a rivalry,” head coach Reed Sunahara said. “It’s always a battle against Louisville. I think it’s a good, healthy rivalry and I think it will be two good teams playing each other. I expect a good match.”

Entering the match, the Bearcats are the top-ranked team in the Big East with the Cardinals a close second.

Louisville is one game behind Cincinnati in the conference standings, and the Cardinals haven’t lost to the Bearcats at home since 2001.

Sunahara said the team is not worried about its place in the standings, but he did not deny the importance of the upcoming match. see VBALL | 4

That team had tremendous character and tremendous leadership. They also had pretty good players.

KEG CLASH Jason Garrison | Staff Reporter After 49 meetings through three conferences, Cincinnati and Louisville will battle for the Keg of Nails rivalry trophy for the 50th time Friday at Louisville’s Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

The Bearcats lead the series with the rival Cardinals 27-21-1 and have won the past two meetings after nine losses in the 10 meetings prior. Cincinnati is seeking its longest winning streak of the series since it won its fourth-straight in 1987.

Cincinnati’s second rivalry game in as many weeks also begins defense of the Bearcats’ back-to-back league championships.

“It’s not only a rivalry game, it’s a Big East game — the first one,” said running back Isaiah Pead. “We need to, for one, keep the Keg. That’s our mentality right now. Keep the Keg and start taking the steps toward this third championship.”

In the Louisville backfield, running back Bilal Powell has helped raise the Cardinals to the top rushing offense in the Big East, while quarterback Adam Froman has Louisville No. 1 in the conference in passing offense.

The Cardinals struggled to a 4-8 record and 1-6 league mark in 2009, but enter Big East play 3-2 in head coach Charlie Strong’s first season.

“I think their football team has a hunger,” said UC head coach Butch Jones. “They have a lot of players in their program — some very, very talented players — that maybe haven’t experienced the success that they would have liked to experience in the past, but they have a lot of seniors. When you have senior leadership and when you have guys that are hungry, they buy into what the coach is telling them. They’re playing at a high level right now.”

Louisville ranks third in the nation in sacks, while senior Rodney Gnat leads the defensive line with a league-best 6.5 sacks this season.

“It’s very concerning.” Jones said of facing the Cardinal defense. “They have an individual who leads the conference in sacks. He warrants attention and they do so many things schematically to create one-on-one matchups and different looks.”

The Keg of Nails winner has gone on to win the Big East in three of the past four seasons. The Bearcats are looking to win their third-straight league title this season, but focus this week has remained on the rival Cardinals.

“You don’t want to go into your next Big East game 0-1,” Pead said. “Especially after being the defending champs. It would hurt.”

“The thing I used to ask my father about all the time was — I didn’t understand — how did we win it after Oscar left?” said current head coach Mick Cronin. “As a younger kid, you talk about those things.

I couldn’t understand. He kept explaining to me, as a coach, things like teamwork and leadership.”

At the time, Jucker described his Bearcats as an all-American team without an individual all-American on the roster.

Cincinnati made back-to-back Final Four appearances before winning its first national title in ’61. The Bearcats topped Utah by 15 in the semifinals before beating Ohio State 70-65 in the first championship game between schools from the same state.

“That team had tremendous character and tremendous leadership. They also had pretty good players,” Cronin said. “When I talk about our team this year, we’re see anniversary | 4
