Tigers work to stamp put communication snafus

BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n Communication deficiencies contributed to LSU’s undoing in its season-opening loss.

The Tigers (0-1) were forced to blow two timeouts in the second half because of defective headsets, and players on both sides of the ball admitted there were flaws in their exchange of information that produced negative results for LSU. “Everything, at this point, is to be criticized,” said LSU coach Les Miles during his “Les Miles Show” on Wednesday.

A key aspect of LSU’s game plan when it lines up against Jacksonville State at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at Tiger Stadium is fixing those communication issues against the Football Championship Subdivision’s third-ranked team and reigning national runner-up.

“First game mistakes,” Miles said.

Attempting to hinge those breaks in communication, Miles said offensive coordinator Cam Cameron is moving back to the booth after coaching from

Lambeau Field’s sideline against Wisconsin.

Cameron first transitioned from the box to coaching on the sideline at quarterback Brandon Harris’ request, when the then-sophomore requested Cameron’s expertise for LSU’s 56-27 victory against Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl in December.

Harris threw for 261 yards with one touchdown and added another touchdown on the ground with 41 yards in drubbing of the Red Raiders.

The Tigers stuck with what worked against Texas Tech in the season opener, but the tactic proved ineffective as Harris posted a quarterback rating of 6.9 — contrasted with his 92.7 QBR in the bowl game — and threw for 131 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the defeat.

Miles said Cameron can react in between plays with his calls as a result of the enhanced view he has from the booth, opposed to having the information relayed to him, at which point it may be too late.

would reverse that step there and put him back in the box.”

Miles said the move shouldn’t affect Harris as he expects backup quarterbacks Danny Etling, Justin McMillan and Lindsey Scott — LSU’s scout team quarterback this week, imitating Jacksonville State’s senior quarterback Eli Jenkins — to help him off the field. Wide receivers coach Dameyune Craig, a former Auburn quarterback, can help, too.

On the field, senior safety Rickey Jefferson said the defensive backs focused on communicating more effectively pre-snap, a step that will be crucial against Jacksonville State’s high-octane offense.

The Gamecocks posted 502 total yards in their season-opening win against North Alabama, 31-12, after amassing a schoolrecord 7,613 yards last season.

Jenkins, the FCS National Quarterback of the Year, leads a quick-strike attack that’s capable of scoring in minutes and will look to take advantage of any miscommunication across the defense.

For that reason, Jefferson said the defense focused on relaying information quickly and effectively in a fast-tempo style of play, as well as strictly following what is called.

“Me and [senior cornerback Tre’Davious White] said that we’re going to make sure we stick to what we call, it’s done after that,” Jefferson said.

“Sometimes we have the tendency to try to change it up last minute, but it’s concrete now.”

CLEARED TO GO LSU unveils new clear bag policy for all athletic venues

BY CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL @CBoutwell_

LSU ordered 20,000 plastic bags and, with the help of parking lot attendants, will be handing them out prior to this weekend’s home-opener in Tiger Stadium. The plan is to give security personnel a better view of what fans are bringing into the arena.

LSU’s Athletic Department will deploy Boy Scouts and giant Ziplocs throughout campus to continue spreading the word about the University’s newly-instituted clear bag policy, which prohibits, with a few exceptions, any bag that conceals its contents.

“We’ve looked around campus, we know how our traffic flows and where our hotspots are,” said LSU Event Management Coordinator Julie Cribbs. “We want to get it to the point where if you have a parking permit, they’ve taken your permit and reminded you about the clear bags.”

LSU, in contract with Landmark-Event Staffing, has implemented “Geaux

Clear” at all sporting events beginning this fall, as have most Southeastern Conference schools. It is similar to what has been in place for several years at NFL venues.

“LSU’s clear bag policy will be in effect for all athletic venues and is aimed at speeding up gate entries and enhance fan experience,” LSU’s promotional poster for “Geaux Clear” reads.

The only approved carry-in items for LSU home games include the transparent 12-by-6-by-12 LSU tote bag, a plastic zip-top bag, a small clutch purse, a seat cushion without zippers or pockets, a diaper bag no larger than the tote bag and/or a binoculars case.

“The important thing for us, especially in this first game, is to educate, educate, educate,” Cribbs said.

Is a clear beach bag allowed? Or a purse inside of the clear bag?

No, LSU says.

LSU preps for Gamecock offense

BY JACOB HAMILTON @jac0b_hamilt0n Jacksonville State isn’t your ordinary Football Championship Subdivision team.

The Gamecocks (1-0), who finished second in the FCS last season, have proved they are capable of giving Southern Conference opponents fits — just ask Auburn.

Auburn learned that last season when it narrowly escaped its matchup against Jacksonville State with a 27-20 overtime victory after trailing 20-13 with less than six minutes left.

“They’re a very quality team,” said senior safety Rickey Jefferson. “They have a lot of guys that feel like they were overlooked or have been through certain situations that brought them to a school like that. Watching the film, the receivers and skill people are very good. They’re not slow.”

The FCS’ third-ranked Gamecocks line up against another SEC opponent this weekend in hopes of righting last season’s wrong, this time against a careening No. 21 LSU team that plunged 16 spots in the Associated Press Top 25 after dropping its season opener against Wisconsin.

LSU and Jacksonville State play at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at Tiger Stadium.

Particularly, LSU (0-1) isn’t taking senior quarterback Eli Jenkins lightly. Jenkins, who Jefferson compared to former Texas A&M and current Oklahoma backup quarterback Kyler Murray, leads an offense that earned a school-record 7,613

SG develops tailgating guidelines in response to controversial University proposals

BY TREY COUVILLION Though University gameday drinking policies and other safety standards will remain unchanged for the 2016-17 football season, a committee of Student Government members and representatives from other student organizations developed a set of suggested guidelines over the summer called “Tiger Tenets,” encouraging vigilance and safer drinking practices.

The tenets are a response to safety policies proposed by the Dean of Students last semester, which were met with widespread resistance from University students.

While SG set the guidelines in place for this year, things could change for the 2017 football season.

The administration will be carefully observing students’ actions on gamedays, said SG Vice President Lindsey Landry.

If they like what they see, the tenets could become the new standard for gameday safety. If not, the administration could

@trey_couv

implement stricter policies.

Landry said potential policy changes will depend on students’ willingness to adhere to the tenets.

“We don’t want to enforce rules or regulations right now, because we think it’s more of an attitude change that needs to happen,” Landry said.

Landry said she hopes students are receptive to the new guidelines.

“This is something that we’re trying out this year, but it doesn’t mean that rules and regulations won’t be implemented in the future,” she said.

The proposals from last semester included three options for alcohol on gamedays. The first would have required each individual tailgate to use a third-party vendor, while the second called for a communal third-party vendor.

The final option, presented by a University student, was a “BYOB” policy which would have allowed 21-year-old students to bring a predetermined amount of

THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

alcohol for personal consumption.

According to emails obtained via a public records request, several alumni and students emailed University administrators about the possible policy changes last semester. One writer called the proposals a “money grab by the University thinly veiled as concern for student well-being” in an email to LSU President F. King Alexander, Dean of Students Maria Fuentes-Martin and LSU Athletics.

Fuentes-Martin said she was offended by the idea of the proposals being a “money grab,” according to June article written by The Daily Reveille, “My dissertation was a drug and alcohol study, and I know that students are students, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not still in an unsafe situation that we as administrators need to be thoughtful and careful about,” Fuentes-Martin said. “I think ultimately what we want is safety and fun, and a balance between those two things.”

RESPECT YOUR STRIPES

HAVE THE EYE OF THE TIGER

Remember, as an LSU student, your actions are representative of our entire community, so you should always strive to uphold the highest standards of courtesy and respect. Tigers should be kind and inclusive to everyone, especially our visiting fans.

Staying safe on game day means looking out for your fellow Tigers. If you see something suspicious, make sure to inform LSU PD at (225) 578-3231, or report the problem via the LSU Shield app. And if someone is in need, you are expected to alert the appropriate personnel.

LEAVE NO TRACE We are lucky to have such a beautiful campus.

Please help keep our home looking its best by always picking up after yourself and discarding trash and recyclables in the proper containers.

COMMIT TO SAFE DRINKING In order to foster a safe tailgating environment, students should be aware of what they are consuming and respect their limits. Always comply with federal and state laws, and don’t drink alcohol if you are underage. Also, remember to designate a driver and remain alert for potentially compromising and harmful situations.

STAND BY YOUR TIGERS Show your Tiger spirit by staying for the [entirety] of the game, and help foster a positive gameday environment by participating in our traditional cheers and chants (note:the louder, the better).

MARATHON, DON’T SPRINT Cheering on the Tigers in rain or shine can be tiring, so make sure you are staying hydrated. You can never drink too much water, and remember to fuel up with food throughout the day!

Leaders gather for Our Ocean Conference

BY KATIE GAGLIANO @katie_gagliano Pollution, overfishing and climate change are key issues being addressed at the 2016 Our Ocean Conference in Washington D.C. Sept. 15 and 16.

During a conference call with student journalists, Judith Garber, Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans, International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, said the mission of the conference is to be forward-thinking and focus on solutions to long-term issues.

Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been an outspoken advocate for ocean health and conservation since his 2013 cabinet appointment, is hosting the conference. It will include presentations from international leaders, non-governmental organizations and ocean advocates promoting solutions to various environmental issues.

“The message is about action and hope,” Garber said. “Our ocean is under threat, solutions are possible and it’s all our responsibility to take actions to help our ocean.”

The United States and other attendees will announce new initiatives dedicated to ocean conservation at the conference. Between 2014 and 2015, attendees pledged more than $4 billion and committed to safeguarding approximately 6 million square kilometers of ocean, roughly twice the size of India, Garber said.

Though these contributions are significant, she said the problems facing the ocean cannot be solved by governments and international organizations alone. State and community involvement is critical to the development and success of sustainable solutions, she said.

City ranked inconvenient for college-aged drivers

BY LAUREN HEFFKER @laurheffker While Baton Rouge is widely regarded as home by thousands of college students, one aspect of the city remains infamous: transportation.

According to a recent study conducted by ValuePenguin, Baton Rouge ranks in the top 15 worst college towns in the United States for students to have cars.

Baton Rouge ranked 94 out of 105 cities scored from best to worst. The study scored each location based on affordability, safety and convenience. The three categories consist of 14 different factors considered by analysts,

including weather, poor roads, parking and theft, so the final average scores would reflect the overall “car culture” of the college town.

Baton Rouge ranked 87 in the affordability category, 99 in safety and 28 in convenience for an average ranking of 94 out of 105 college towns surveyed.

The study notes that the worst colleges to bring your car are in big cities. To find “true” college towns, researchers looked at census data for zip codes where more than 50 percent of the population was enrolled in college, as well as places where more than 20 percent of the population was 20 to 24 years old.

Baton Rouge ranks as one of the worst college towns in the United States for students to have a car.

“The potholes are getting as bad as New Orleans, and there is constant construction.”

New “Voice of the Tigers” to make Tiger Stadium debut

BY SETH NIEMAN @seth_nieman Chris Blair knows he’s not Jim Hawthorne. And he’s not going to try to pretend to be.

Blair, the newly hired “Voice of the Tigers,” will make his play-by-play debut at Tiger Stadium on Saturday when LSU faces Jacksonville State at 6:30 p.m.

Blair also made the trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin, last week for LSU’s season-opening 16-14 loss to the Wisconsin Badgers — kick-starting the football portion of his new career.

“I’m excited, and I’ve got the best of both worlds because I got to open the season at a place like Lambeau Field, which not many people get the opportunity to do,” Blair said. “Then, I’m getting to do my first game at Tiger Stadium, which in itself is also another iconic stadium. We got through last week with flying colors from all of our guys, so that really makes

me a little less anxious for the second week.”

Blair replaces LSU’s longtime Director of Radio Broadcasting Jim Hawthorne, who spent more than 30 years calling play-by-play for Tiger basketball, baseball and football.

Hawthorne’s career finished following the 2015-2016 LSU basketball season, but Blair had been shadowing Hawthorne since last December.

Blair said he has big shoes to fill.

“The beauty of it was I got to spend about four months with him in the office,” he said.

“I tried to absorb as much as I could and see how he handles things — the things that he has been a part of and the things that he has been through. It kind of gave me a road map to a certain degree.”

As Hawthorne’s successor, Blair serves as the weekly host of the “Les Miles Show,” from TJ Ribs each Wednesday night during football season.

Still, the shadow of Hawthorne’s eloquence hasn’t shied Blair away from what is now his stage.

“I’ve always been told in any business that you don’t want to be the guy that replaces ‘The guy,’” he said. “That’s certainly what it is here.”

Blair said he feels confident his prior experiences have prepared him for the road ahead.

He served as the general manager and the “Voice of the Eagles” at Georgia Southern University for 10 years prior to making his way to Baton Rouge.

“Georgia Southern was a good training ground, simply because they have the same passion that LSU has,” Blair said.

“Whether you were the coach, a player or even the radio guy, you had to be ready because there’s always people listening and paying attention.”

Blair said he was blown away by his first experience on the microphone at Alex Box Sta-

dium in February.

“It’s been incredible, from the people and coaches that I work with to getting to know the student athletes,” he said. “The fan base, for somebody that did not go to school here ­— I’ve been blown away at how hospitable, gracious and welcoming everybody has been since I moved here in December.”

Blair got his start in the radio business at 14 years old doing weather reports and music. He eventually found his way to the football field as a sideline reporter and a play-by-play announcer.

He credits the five years he spent behind the scenes at Clemson University with helping him realize he wanted to pursue a career in radio. He highlighted the time he spent with Jim Phillips — Clemson’s Jim Hawthorne.

“It was during those five years that I thought, ‘This is what I want to do,’” he said.

As far as his outlook for the

upcoming football season goes, Blair is keeping it simple.

“I’ll just go out and try to be prepared to do the best job I can do,” Blair said. “Hopefully that will be good enough for Tiger fans.”

GAMEDAY DELIGHTS

Barcadia is set to provide the first daiquiris within walking distance of campus.

BY SEMAJ ATKINSON @SemajAtkinson By adding some frozen favorites to its menu, Barcadia Baton Rouge on Highland Road plans to bring gamedays to a whole new level.

With its inviting weekly drink specials and energetic karaoke nights, the off-campus hotspot has already made a name for itself among the University community. Now, the hybrid bar, restaurant and arcade will introduce daiquiris to its menu to lure in football fans on Saturdays.

In addition to the daiquiris, Barcadia plans to offer gameday packages, pairing daiquiri gallons with party platters at affordable prices.

“Having more frozen options and opening the back bar will be different, intense and exciting,” bartender Andrew Pilgrim said.

As another gameday special, Barcadia will also offer $20 logo cups, which tailgaters can return to the bar with for free refills.

With an assortment of flavors, including electric lemonade, mudslide, Barcadia bomber, piña colada, peach, strawberry and margarita, general manager

Greg Muscat looks forward to gameday patrons. Though the daiquiris will be offered in two different serving sizes, Muscat expects the gallon deal to be the gameday heavy-hitter.

He said the staff is trying to make Barcadia the go-to place for a successful gameday experience.

“We’re just doing everything we can to promote,” Muscat said.

Because there are no other daiquiris available within walking distance, Muscat said he knew this football season would be the perfect time for the debut. Barcadia anticipates its eight daiquiri machines to be operating

by Tuesday.

B a r c ad i a’s food menu has also been enhanced with a few

new gourmet selections — an “ex press l u n c h ” includes items ranging from paninis to duck sausage, all for under $10. Free game play is also available to enhance the wait for customers.

He said the new menu was created with a college student’s budget and interest in mind.

“There’s nothing like it on this side of campus, and it’s another avenue for us to grow sales,” he said.

To keep the festivities going, a live band will play after each SEC home game.

Through walking-distance daiquiris, new food options and live music, Muscat hopes to make gamedays worthwhile for all Tiger fans.

“I’m really excited about this game season,” Pilgrim said. “I have been waiting all summer for this.”

Student bloggers best gameday hair, makeup tips

BY CYNTHEA CORFAH @LacedInCyn Louisiana heat is no joke — in minutes, one’s makeup and hair can go from perfectly coiffed to tragically frizzy. Fortunately, in a tech savvy world full of bloggers, vloggers and Instagram gurus, beauty tips are easily accessible. Lifestyle and college blogger McKenzie McClain and fashion blogger Ashley Monaghan provide gameday beauty hacks to

help beat the heat.

Holding Spray or Updo Flat hair is a Southern girl’s nightmare, but with humidity and heat, it can be challenging to maintain your curly or straight style. McClain, a mass communication junior, recommends holding spray for both straight and curled styles.

“As for hair, I say straighten it,” McClain said. “The sun won’t let your curls be great for longer than a few hours.”

Monaghan, a mass communication senior, recommends Evo Salty Dog Beach Cocktail Spray to create a wavy beach look for those who want to wear their hair down. But she finds updos more practical on hot gamedays.

“Honestly, find an updo that works for you,” Monaghan said.

“Who doesn’t love a high ponytail? Braid your hair, including your bangs, all the way back.

Luckily, milkmaid braids are

Primer and Setting Spray With average gameday temperatures ranging from the mid 80s to upper 90s, primer and setting spray are must-haves.

McClain and Monaghan suggest applying a primer before your foundation and finishing your look with a few squirts of setting spray for an all-day look that will withstand the heat.

“Always use a primer and setting spray on those hot gamedays,” McClain said. “And for extra coverage, set those areas that you get oily in, or where your makeup is bound to crease, with powder.”

An alternative to primer, Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel not only fights friction, but Monaghan said it also works for mattifying the skin and providing a base for makeup to hold longer.

Liquid Everything Powder versus liquid foundation remains an ongoing debate.

However, Monaghan sides with liquid foundation users. She recommends not only using liquid foundation, but liquid blush, as well.

Friday, September 9, 2016 For the light feel of a powder foundation with similar coverage to liquid, Monaghan suggests powder foundation users switch to a tinted moisturizer.

Beauty balm, otherwise known as BB cream, is the lighter alternative to liquid foundation.

Often packed with vitamins, antioxidants and sun protection, these tubes are the next best thing to a liquid foundation.

“I would definitely recommend BB creams over heavy foundation on hot game days,” McClain said. “They give you coverage for the millions of selfies we all take, but they aren’t harsh on your skin. Nothing is worse than having on a mask when the sun is beaming down.”

Face Mist Used for a variety of purposes, face mists offer minerals, moisturization and calming scents. While many use face mists to maintain moisture because of dry skin, Monaghan recommends packing it in your purse on game days to keep cool.

“I love carrying around Glossier’s rose water face mist to spritz when you need to cool yourself down and there’s no pool in sight,” Monaghan said.

Further regulations needed on path to gun ownership LYNNE YOU A HAND LYNNE BUNCH @lynnebunch11 By initiating a program under which purchasing a gun reflects obtaining a driver’s license, both sides of the gun-control argument get what they want. Those in favor of stricter gun laws will know that people who own guns are capable of using them responsibly, and those opposed to the laws will know that any “good guy with a gun” can effectively stop any bad guy with one.

Though there are some gun regulations that don’t need reform, changes must be made to the required amount of training and steps to certification for gun ownership. If people who purchase guns are thoroughly trained in proper gun use, ownership of the weapon may be safer.

There should be required classes, extensive training and multiple examinations to prove whether or not a person can be responsible for handling a gun.

Some argue that owning a gun should be simple because it is in the Constitution, but because people can be killed easily with a gun, it is crucial that owners know the responsibility involved in exercising their Second Amendment right.

People are held accountable when using their right to free speech, and the same should apply for using their right to own a gun. Just as a person is not free to slander others, the public should not be free to use guns without proper experience.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported

that there were around 500 accidental gun deaths in the United States in 2013.

This means that there are more gun deaths by accident than there are days in the year.

When gun owners don’t know how to safely use a gun, they can get themselves or those around them hurt or even killed.

Guns were a lot different when the Constitution was written. Today, you can kill more people with a single gun than you could in the 1700s, and you can do it faster and more efficiently.

Even if guns stayed the same over the years, lives are more important than gun ownership.

The Fifth Amendment guarantees Americans three unalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is people’s lives we are talking about, and even though people have the right to bear arms, the right to life is more important.

Editor in Chief Co-Managing Editor Co-Managing Editor Co-News Director Co-Entertainment Director

EMILY BRAUNER / The Daily Reveille

The CDCP reported roughly 500 accidental gun deaths in the United States in 2013.

Gun ownership is a polarizing subject to talk about, but people need to come together and compromise on laws that can reduce the number of gun deaths each year. Nothing will ever change in

our current political landscape if we don’t compromise so that the country can become a safer place. People’s well-beings don’t need to be politicized, and enacting laws that will better

prepare gun owners can help save lives.

Friday, September 9, 2016 BAGS, from page 3 “There’s so many boutiques and stores out there that are making their own bags, which is great,” said David Taylor, the assistant athletics director and game event manager. “But then you’re getting into the tinted, printed, textured, laced — there’s so many different anomalies out there that a lady could go and spend a lot of money on a clear bag, but it doesn’t meet our standards.”

Most SEC schools have adopted the policy for this season, and the rest are expected to join the procedure before next football season.

Within the last decade, LSUPD and other SEC police departments have held joint conferences with their respective athletic departments to devise a plan for transparent

bags that is consistent with other universities adopting the same policy.

“Every year, the SEC schools —police specifically — we share [information],” LSUPD spokesman Kevin Scott said the policy will provide a more efficient screening technique at entrance gates.

Taylor and Cribbs insisted the clear bags were not aimed at eliminating alcohol being smuggled into the stadium.

Currently, alcohol is only served in the club seating and suite levels of Tiger Stadium and Alex Box Stadium. No alcohol is served in the PMAC. The SEC confirmed this week that there is no change to the conference’s alcohol policy.

This clear bag policy may help to deter alcohol from entering the general stadium, Taylor said.

The transparent bag makes

unwanted items, such as weapons, more visible.

“From our side, we’re very much the customer service element,” Taylor said. “It does help speed up the lines. Overall, the primary function is security based. With everything going on in the country, from a law enforcement, it’s to eliminate all of the other bags out there.”

To speed up the first-game lags which may occur Saturday, and to better explain the policy, a new crew of bag checkers from the Superdome — where

the New Orleans Saints have a similar clear bag policy — will be at entry gates before LSU’s kickoff against Jacksonville State.

“Customer service-wise, they’ll be able to explain it better,” Cribbs said.

LSUPD is not expecting to have a heightened security force to go along with the clear bags on Saturday, Scott said.

LSU’s Athletic Department will be handing out roughly 5,000 clear bags, along with the 20,000 Ziplocs, on Saturday —

bags left over from “Fan Day,” which was canceled because the flooding in southern Louisiana during surrounding days.

The policy actually was initiated on a smaller scale at soccer matches several weeks ago. “[Clear bags are] for all of our venues,” Cribbs said. “It’s been implemented at soccer, they’ve had a couple of matches. Volleyball will start this weekend, so it’ll be an education. Hopefully, when we get to basketball, it’ll be well-known and with baseball it will just be common.”

LSU fans stand in entry-gate lines outside of Tiger Stadium as part of LSU’s new “Geaux Clear” policy.

yards last season and featured a 12-game win streak before falling to North Dakota State in the championship game.

Ohio Valley Conference’s Player of the Year, Jenkins was also bestowed FCS National Quarterback of the Year honors as he showcased his dynamics with 2,788 yards and 21 touchdowns through the air and another 1,161 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground.

“He definitely has that power to run,” said junior safety Jamal Adams. “He likes a lot of draws, and he can throw as well.

He’s a great quarterback for those guys. We have to definitely honor him with his run but stay on our toes and be prepared for the pass.”

Junior defensive tackle Greg Gilmore said the defensive line won’t tone down its aggressiveness against the dual-threat signal caller. But the Tigers will

focus on clearing up the rushing lanes up the middle — the same angles Wisconsin quarterback Bart Houston took advantage of during LSU’s 16-14 loss last Saturday.

With the scrambling lanes Houston, normally a pocket quarterback, had, the dual-threat Jenkins could spell trouble for the Tiger defense.

Houston led the Gamecocks’ rushing effort in last Thursday’s 31-12 win against North Alabama with 101 yards on 13 carries.

“We’ve just got to be prepared for him to do some draws, him break, running out of the pocket, keeping our eyes on our guys if we’re in coverage,” Jefferson said. “Until we really see him pass the line of scrimmage [the defensive backs] can’t [go after him] because he’ll dump it off. He’s that elusive.”

Jacksonville State graduated its conference rushing yard record-holder Troymaine Pope

after a 1,788 yard season but replaced him with 2013 Alabama Mr. Football and Auburn transfer Roc Thomas.

Thomas inherits the same five starting linemen that paved the way for Pope’s school — and conference-record breaking season.

A consensus five-star prospect and the No. 4 running back in 2014, Thomas carried the rock 20 times for 73 yards and three touchdowns in the season opener.

“He looked like a pretty fast running back,” said junior defensive tackle Davon Godchaux.

Thomas is one of nine SEC transfers, including junior wide receiver Kevin Spears, an LSU transfer, making the Gamecocks a potential SEC killer.

“The thing about [Jacksonville State] is it’s kind of a trick team,” Godchaux said. “They’re not going to lay down to us. They’re going to try to score and win this game.”

ART

Local emcee fosters development in underprivileged youth

BY SALIMATA LALA FALL @salimatalalaf A man of many talents, Luke St. John McKnight ultimately sums himself up as “a creator.”

Not only does the Baton Rouge native compose music and literature — he also curates artistic experiences for others through strategic planning.

As an emcee, he illustrates life experiences by putting commonalities and universal truths to a beat.

McKnight said he views art as an “umbrella” encompassing material that resonates with people.

“I function as a storyteller.

In that vein, that space, that neural pathway, I am a storyteller. A modern-day scribe,” he said. “I tell stories that are mine, as well as yours, the audience.”

By touring and performing, he met “like minds and people” who he wanted to see have their own artistic space, which led to further creative development.

McKnight said art provides

a greater good, and community development is how events like Build the Fire — a multidisciplinary, seasonal, visual and performing exhibition — took root.

“Build the Fire is the process of bringing to life whatever you’d like to see in the world, fulfilling a personal initiative,” he said. “Whatever your personal initiative is, that’s your fire.”

McKnight said he felt there was a need for events like Build the Fire in Baton Rouge for black people to have a space of their own. Calling the black experience “overlooked,” he said he decided to create a forum for “genuine minds ... to circulate inside a space for an evening.”

With 400-500 people at its last event, Build the Fire has proven to be a productive, safe space for art lovers.

One of McKnight’s initiatives, the Walls Project, consists of seven programs. Murals funded through the project can be found scattered around McKnight’s “stomping ground” in

North Baton Rouge, South Baton Rouge and Mid City.

By creating murals from Florida Boulevard to Choctaw Drive, he hopes to rebuild local areas that need attention.

Another one of the project’s programs, the Future Fund, focuses primarily on youth living in undeserved parts of the community.

Since the program started a year and a half ago, every Saturday for a full semester students can go to a location where they learn how to create a business, get involved with art entrepreneurship and tell their personal stories. If the students come from low or subsidized income, the classes are free.

Taught by professionals in their desired fields, students get the real-life opportunity to manage themselves as creators and entrepreneurs.

As manager for the Future Fund, McKnight called the program an “economic force that [he is] really proud to be a part of.”

Baton Rouge native Luke St. John McKnight created the Future Fund to help community youth cultivate their artistic talent.

Through the program, students have raised $10,000 of their own money, two coding students were offered jobs with the mayor’s office and one student was able to go to New York City on a photography scholarship.

McKnight said he is part of something greater than himself.

“I don’t look at myself as this physical body. I am infinite. I occupy the space, but me myself, I am here to just be an advocate of the real — and that’s all that matters to me,” he said.
