PERFECT 10 Shutout victory over Kansas on Sunday gives Aggies best season start in program history

Sophomore quarterback Kellen Mond threw for 210 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two more in Texas A&M’s 48-10 win over Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday, Sept. 15.

Texas A&M lands at No. 22 on latest AP Top 25 poll after Saturday's win over ULM at Kyle Field

By Angel Franco @angelmadison_ Following the Aggies 48-10 win over the University of Louisiana-Monroe, Texas A&M is ranked in the AP top 25 poll, coming in at No. 22. This is the first time since November 2016 that the Aggies have been featured in the poll.

The ranking comes a week before A&M's first road game of the season against No.1 Alabama.

After Saturday’s game, A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said that while he was happy with the win, he knows his team has a few things to improve as they head into SEC play.

“We’re not where we need to be, but we're growing in that direction,” Fisher said.

Heading into the ULM game, Fisher wanted to bring balance back to the offense. The Aggies primarily opted for pass plays against then-No. 2 Clemson as the defensive front shut down the run game.

“I wanted us to go back to having a balance,” Fisher said.

“I wanted us to establish the run again, to be able to run the football to get the guys going.”

Despite getting the run game going against ULM, the A&M running backs didn’t have a run that went for more than 21 yards. A&M finished the game with 288 rushing yards, and 131 of those came from junior running back Trayveon Williams.

Williams said it was important for the offense — the running back unit in particular — to continue attempts to run the ball, even without the explosive plays.

“The run game is very essential [to us],” Williams said.

“You don’t always get those long big runs, but if you are able to keep the chains moving, that’s something that is key to this offense. So glad to keep the chains moving and have a pretty successful night on the ground, so I’m glad I got that done.”

A&M had three touchdowns negated by penalties, which is something Fisher said can’t happen again moving forward.

“With these people we’re getting ready to play, we can’t have these penalties,” Fisher said. “It’s very disappointing.

Right off the bat, we had two or three penalties in the game…

Any penalty is too many and we can’t have that and we’ve got to get that fixed.”

In a battle of ranked opponents, No.4 Texas A&M edged out No. 18 Kansas 3-0 on Sunday at Ellis Field.

This improves the Aggies to 10-0 — their best start in school history.

This is the Aggies 25th consecutive win, leaving them one shy of the SEC consecutive wins record. With the 3-0 performance, the Aggies provided their 11th consecutive multiple goal performance, tying their school record.

This is senior goalkeeper Cosette Morche’s 22nd Division I shutout and 16th shutout while in Aggieland.

Morche leads the SEC with eight shutouts. Eight in the first ten games is the best defensive span in school history.

A&M head coach G. Guerrieri said this was a defensive performance to for the Aggies to hang their hat on, as Kansas posed a considerable challenge.

“That’s a win that we can really be proud of because Kansas is a really good team,”Guerrieri told 12thman.com.

“It was just a matter of execution on our side and great defending on our side. I told Cosette and our backs that that’s a shutout they can really be proud of.”

In the 38th minute, redshirt freshman Abby Grace Cooper scored the first goal of her Aggie career and first of the game on an assist from sophomore Jordan Hill.

Sophomore Addie McCain took advantage of a light touch assist from junior Ally Watt for the game-sealing second goal in the 65th minute.

While the facility officially opened in May, the center’s grand opening was held on Sept.14. During the celebration, the hallways were lined with maroon and silver balloons as students enjoyed complimentary refreshments. The staff from the Department of Residence Life welcomed guests, offering Residence Life T-shirts and a sheet cake with an image of the new building.

Similar to the Commons role on the south side of campus, the new facility offers a range of useful spaces for students living in the White Creek area, according to Residence Life director of administrative & support services Carol Binzer.

Experienced business owners will speak on Tuesday about how to develop entrepreneurial skills.

Pursuing entrepreneurship Upcoming workshop teaches business basics

By Meagan Sheffield @mshef350 Students, staff and community members can hear from experienced Aggie business owners about developing entrepreneurial skills during Tuesday’s ‘Art of the

Side Hustle’ workshop.

The event is a part of the McFerrin Methods series organized by the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship. The workshop will be held Sept. 18 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in MSC 2400, and will include opportunities to network with attendees.

Program coordinator Sophia Bishop said the series aims to help students think about how

they can be involved in entrepreneurship even while they’re still in school.

“The McFerrin Methods series is designed to engage students in discussions about entrepreneurship, so the goal is to have a wide range of discussion topics to really reach any student who’s interested,” Bishop said.

“When we built the apartments, when they opened in 2015, they have a little activity center, but for the 1,200 or so residents, it’s really not sufficient,” Binzer said. “There’s been a plan to come over here and build a variation on the Commons. This is true to form, a way to provide some amenity space.”

The new building includes game rooms, an open access lab with 36 computers, an outdoor basketball court, a volleyball court, food options, video games and music practice rooms.

“It’s really excellent in design, it feels expansive,” Binzer said. “It’s really a beautiful space as well. I would be distracted sitting in the computing lounge looking out. It’s just pleasant to look, whether its good weather or not, with all the natural light that comes in.”

Residence Life worked to incorporate interesting art pieces similar to those found in the Commons and Hullabaloo Hall. The game rooms feature neon letters that spell out “Howdy,” and at night, the glowing greeting can be seen from outside the building.

“It’s even the small details that were attended to and that makes me proud,”

Binzer said. “We’ve worked hard to incorporate pieces of art that either Aggie artists or The Association of Former Students commission. It’s been great to try and do some of that.”

Sustainability is also included in the design, with recycling containers and water bottle filling stations. The cafe includes a made-to-order sandwich station, a pizza bar and a pasta bar available for meal trades. The convenience store and creekside market are open from 7 a.m. to midnight during the week and 9 a.m. to midnight on weekends.

“Our students who live here have options to eat,” Binzer said. “Students don’t have to travel across campus to eat or use the daily food truck. Convenience store, grab and go for meal trades. That sense that we are out in the middle of nowhere on campus is diminished.”

While the game rooms are only for White Creek apartment residents, the dining hall, open access labs and other facilities are for all students. Former White Creek residents who moved out last year are welcome to come use the amenities, according to Dan Mizer, senior associate director in the Department of Residence Life.

“We were delayed in getting it

opened,” Mizer said. “That was probably the biggest challenge. We wish it would have opened last spring semester, so residents of White Creek could have the opportunity to use it. I’d like to see more White Creek residents come over and use it. I’d like to see this place packed every day.”

The grand opening gave the Residence Life team an opportunity to welcome students and staff and display their hard work, according to academic support initiatives program coordinator Sara McCoy. “We are so excited that the building is open and we are able to welcome in the campus community,” McCoy said.

“It’s really the living room of west campus, so we look forward to seeing all the students and faculty and staff.”

The White Creek community center is serving students and providing a place to recuperate on west campus.

“It’s really nice to study and chill in,” agricultural communication and journalism junior Sydney Price said.

“I come here all the time and sit here in the morning to collect myself before the day because it’s very quiet and nice.”

Students will have the opportunity to learn from Aggies who started their own businesses on Tuesday in MSC 2400.

WORKSHOP CONTINUED The workshop will feature agricultural economics senior Ryan Drapela, construction science senior Taylor Laney and Odin Clack, Class of 2002.

Drapela runs a woodworking business on Etsy, Laney operates a donut food trailer and Clack owns a leather goods business in the Dallas region.

“I started [Odin Leather Goods] six years ago to really just experiment,” Clack said. “It was kind of a creative outlet. I spent most of my days working in front of a computer and this was a way for me to kind of break that up a little bit. It’s now a grown business.”

According to Clack, entrepreneurship doesn’t always mean starting a large business that takes up a lot of time and money. He started Odin Leather Goods

FOOTBALL CONTINUED Even with the flags, A&M was able to successfully score during each of their six trips to the red zone.

On the defensive side of the ball, A&M scored its first touchdown on a special teams play after senior defensive lineman Daylon Mack blocked a ULM field goal attempt, which was then picked up by junior linebacker Tyrel Dodson, who ran it into the end zone.

Dodson said the blocked

while working full-time in a marketing position.

“This side hustle wasn’t me escaping,” Clack said. “I didn’t hate my job and feel like I had to get out. I sacrificed those comfort things in the evening — sitting around talking and watching TV all night long — for something that I thought was more productive, which was running a business. That business was a side hustle that’s grown into something that provides for me and my family.”

Clack said that while college provides foundational knowledge needed for success, it does not always provide the social skills necessary to run a business.

“When I talk to the students that come out of school, I find that most of them are probably a bit underprepared for what real work is, like how to really

field goal play was one the defense needed before heading to Alabama.

“It gives us a boost of confidence,” Dodson said. “A turnover for the defense is awesome.

The fact that we haven’t had a turnover in the first two game crawled under our skin and we just had to stay patient and just eliminate the big plays.”

No. 22 Texas A&M will travel to Tuscaloosa to take on No. 1 Alabama on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. and the game will be televised on CBS.

work with people [and] how to really work in an environment where you have to collaborate,” Clack said. “I’m not going to do some sort of 60-slide presentation. This is going to be me telling my story, talking about my business and how I did it.”

Laney started her donut food trailer, Donut Darlin’, in March 2017 after she bought an old crepe truck. Since then, she has booked birthday parties, sorority and fraternity events, and now has a place in the Fan Zone before Aggie football games.

“It’s nice that you get to talk about it and inspire others to do the same thing,” Laney said. “Anyone should come, [especially] if you are looking to open a business or don’t know how to get started or maybe have an idea and want to expand it and learn how to make money off of it.”

Texas A&M task force faces opioid epidemic head-on Health professionals emphasize research, community education

By Henry Mureithi @SOCOMBlack To combat the growing opioid problem in the state and nation, various arms of the Texas A&M Health Science Center have come together to form a task force focused on exploring key issues and solutions.

With 42,249 opioid overdose deaths in 2016, the Trump administration declared the opioid epidemic a national public health emergency on Oct. 26, 2017. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Texas experienced a 7.4 percent increase in opioid overdose deaths between 2015 and 2016. A&M responded in January by establishing the Texas A&M University Health Science Center Opioid Task Force, a multidisciplinary task force designed to address the opioid epidemic through collaborative action across the health sciences.

The team is made up of representatives from all five Health Science Center components — dentistry, medicine, nursing, public health and pharmacy — as well as the Coastal Bend Health Education Center.

“It serves as a focal point for research, education and practice issues critical to addressing the opioid epidemic and its impact on Texas,” said regents and distinguished professor of environmental and occupational health Marcia Ory, chair of the task force.

Ory said one of the task force’s first activities was a survey of Texas primary care physicians.

“What we found is that physicians reported receiving little to no training during medical school or residency on prescribing opioids safely or educating patients on pain management,” Ory said.

Joy Alonzo, clinical assistant professor of pharmacy practice, said the task force is specifically researching distribution of the overdose-recovery drug Naloxone.

“Naloxone is an old drug that’s used as a rescue agent, a reversal agent,” Alonzo said.

“The only pharmacological activity that naloxone has is to reverse an opioid overdose.

We kind of got interested in the idea [and thought] ‘Well, what if we could get this widely distributed and teach people the way you teach CPR about signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose and then teach people to have the confidence to be able to administer a naloxone rescue kit and start giving away the kits?’ At this point in our research, we’ve actually distributed 500 naloxone kits at no charge.”

Two task force projects have been awarded grants from the Texas A&M Triads for Transformation (T3) President’s Excellence Fund. Assistant professor of environmental and occupational health Ranjana Mehta and colleagues will develop a Smart Sensing System for Opiate-withdrawal Symptoms (Smart Sensing SOS) while Ory and colleagues will examine the opioid epidemic’s impact on older adults. The task force also received a $110,000 grant from the Health Science Center’s senior vice president, Carrie L. Byington, and the Office of Faculty Development.

“The [Health Science Center] grant will be used to design and test pilot interventions for the opioid epidemic,” Ory said.

Every September, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration sponsors Recovery Month to increase awareness and understanding of mental and substance use disorders and celebrate the people who recover. In line with this, a film screening and panel discussion will be held at the Forum Theater in Rudder Tower on Wednesday, Sept. 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The screening will be of an episode of Showtime’s opioid documentary series “The Trade,” followed by a panel discussion with experts from relevant fields offering their perspectives on the crisis.

“We will be discussing the impact of this crisis on families and communities, and examining it from a public health perspective,” Ory said. “The goal is to engage not just the university, but also the community at large.”

The panel participants will include Symetria addiction medicine specialist Andrew Giannotti, Brazos County Sheriff Sergeant Kit Wright and Cindy Soltis, director of the Department of State Health Services Intervention and Treatment Services at the Brazos Valley Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse. The panel will also include a personal story from an individual in recovery.

“We encourage everyone at the university to participate,” Ory said. “One of the biggest challenges is the stigma directed at people with opioid use disorder. People often don’t reach out for assistance because they are reluctant or they don’t even know where there is help. That’s why it is important to raise awareness in the community.”

Starting the week of Sept. 16, an opioid reflection wall — including stories and information about the opioid epidemic — will be displayed at A&M. The wall will be moved to different locations across campus where people will have an opportunity to share stories and write messages of support.

Opioid Task Force student ambassadors will be available to provide information, according to Chinelo K. Nsobundu, health and wellness committee coordinator at the School of Public Health.

“Student ambassadors serve as the student

representatives of the opioid task force,” Nsobundu said. “They work to engage the community in the activities of the task force.

Students should apply if they are interested in community outreach and public health education.”

SOCCER CONTINUED Watt kept her position as the Aggies’ leading scorer, turning a rebound from a missed shot into another goal.

“I was really hoping [Ásdís Halldórsdóttir’s] shot was going in, because that was a really

good strike,” Watt told 12thman.com. “It was my job to be around the goal to put the ball back in. I put my foot on it and I think the defender helped it in. I just put it on frame and hoped it went in.”

Watt said the great start comes from the Aggies’ effort in the off-season and the goals

they set for this season.

“It just shows that we have been working really hard,” Watt told 12thman.com. “All the hard work we had in the spring and summer has been paying off. It just shows that we are staying focused and we are not letting anything stop us from making history this season.

We are looking for championships, so hopefully we are going to get those.”
