GAME GUIDE: TEXAS TECH Kieran’s Keys

Pound the rock ... and other RB cliches

Running backs Desmond Roland and Tyreek Hill are champing at the bit to go against the TTU run defense, which gave up 438 yards on the ground against Arkansas. However, Mike Gundy said he isn’t putting much stake in that game. False.

Talented running backs + inexperienced quarterback + dismal run defense = running all day.

Chicken with no head

TTU’s defensive coordinator recently resigned. Speculation for him leaving aside, this leaves the Red Raiders’ defense vulnerable. It’s a perfect time to break in Daxx Garman in his first Big 12 start.

Prevent the home run ball

OSU’s inexperienced safety combo of Larry Stephens, Jordan Sterns, Tre Flowers and others haven’t been tested the past couple of games, but that will change against Texas Tech’s spread attack. Be especially careful of senior wide out Bradley Marquez.

The part-time baseball player has 18 catches for 251 yards and five touchdowns.

Coaching special teams a part-time job Tim Ahrens @ahrens_tim

RACHAEL MALTBY/O’COLLY

OSU is ranked No. 68 nationally in net punting under senior punter Kip Smith.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2014

When the field goal unit comes out on fourth down, Oklahoma State fans flood Twitter with complaints, sometimes before the ball is snapped.

Even if kicker Ben Grogan puts points on the board, he doesn’t get much appreciation for it. Grogan has been subject to criticism since his freshman season as the Cowboys’ kicker in 2013.

It’s wildly different from the praise given to OSU for its special teams that started in 2008, when Dan Bailey scored 110 points as a

O’COLLY

sophomore. Two years later, he received the Lou Groza Award for the nation’s top kicker.

Bailey is long gone, now a starting kicker for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. The tradition continued with Quinn Sharp, who held the NCAA record for points in a single season until 2013.

Sharp graduated in 2012.

Teams can’t expect to produce players like Sharp and Bailey every few years.

But they’re not the only pieces OSU is missing from its former success on special teams.

The other piece is a fulltime special teams coach.

Former coach Les Miles hired Joe DeForest as the special teams coordinator

and secondary coach in 2001. DeForest remained with the Cowboys through the 2011 season.

DeForest was the last special teams coach OSU had. Since then, coach Mike Gundy has used graduate assistants. Ty Linder coached special teams from 2012-13 for OSU, and now Robby Discher, a former Sam Houston State assistant, is in charge of the unit.

There’s not much Gundy is able to do; with staff size limited, he has to make decisions on which units need full-time coaches and which ones don’t.

“It’s never perfect,” Gundy said. “If you had another fullSee KICK Page 6

University plans parking for Thursday game Amanda Joy Taylor @OColly The Cowboys take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Thursday in the first conference game of the season.

Like with any weekend game, campus is going to be a crowded mess of fans and students. This leaves many students and faculty wondering how the university plans to deal with on-campus parking.

The university had to make several adjustments for crowd control.

Unfortunately, class cancellations are at the

discretion of the instructor.

For commuting students, lots 6, 6B and 26 are the only lots that will be closed the entirety of game day; these are the lots directly adjacent to the stadium. Hall of Fame will put up the usual game day closures between Washington and Knoblock streets at 9 a.m.

The university will be employing a tier system for the closing of the other lots during the day.

Lots designated as Orange POSSE lots, which are directly adjacent to the stadium, will close at 12:30 p.m. Students will be directed to other parking locations if trying to

enter these lots after noon.

Lots designated as Gold or Silver POSSE lots will close at 2:30 p.m. and traffic will be redirected beginning at 2 p.m.

Access to the POSSE lots for fans will not begin until 3 p.m.

Orange lots include those north of the Wes Watkins Center and south of the Architecture Building. Gold and Silver include all other POSSE parking lots such as those near the Ticket and Transportation Center and along Monroe Street.

A detailed map is available on the OSU Communications website.

Bus routes will also be slightly affected by the

Thursday game. Oncampus bus routes will be reduced beginning at 4 p.m. and will only deviate from normal because of the road closures on Hall of Fame and Hester.

The Monroe Street Garage will operate normally and be open to all faculty or staff who have a permit and will be open along with Lot 120 to students after 2:30 p.m. The parking lot does feature payby-space parking and must be paid or risk towing.

The university informed students of game day parking situations on their temporary parking permits. news@ocolly.com

OSU alums search for wedding ring Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen

OKLAHOMA CITY — The ring is out there somewhere.

It has to be.

But there’s a problem: Tom and Peggy Miller don’t know where. After almost 51 years of marriage, there are few thoughts more sickening.

The Millers — Tom age 72 and Peggy 71 — aren’t the type to get hung up on material items, but Tom’s wedding ring with the wide, white-gold band engraved with two circles and a cross in-between means more than just about everything else the couple owns.

It’s the type of problem that makes Tom’s stomach turn. The kind that caused enough strife for Peggy to work up the nerve to call a student newspaper in a lastditch effort to recover what they’re all but convinced is gone forever.

The Millers are determined to find this ring, which they’re almost certain slipped off Tom’s finger somewhere near Oklahoma State’s Boone Pickens Stadium.

But even if that item is lost for good, you can find more than enough redeeming qualities in the couple’s downtown Oklahoma City condo.

In a world where it’s all too easy to believe God is dead and love doesn’t exist, the Millers are a bastion for righteousness and faith and

love and so many other intangible ideas that are rarer than any precious metal.

AT FIRST SIGHT It all started when a teenage Tom Miller was flipping through his older sister’s annual from Jones High School.

Tom lived with his family in Spencer, where the children attended middle school, but Spencer didn’t have a high school. That meant families could send their children to whichever nearby school they wanted.

Tom wanted to go to Jones because it was an ideal destination for him to play football and basketball.

In anticipation of meeting his new classmates, Tom did some research by scanning through photos in the annual.

When he came to a redhaired freshman girl named Peggy Mobley, he stopped.

“She’s going to be my girlfriend,” he said.

More than half a century later, he’s still convinced it was love at first sight.

“That’s a true story,” Tom said. “I really fell in love just looking at that picture of her. That’s where it started.”

Soon, the two got cast together in a freshman assembly, and Tom fulfilled his own prophecy by asking her on a date.

Seeing as he was the new boy all the way from Spencer in a class of only 42 people, Peggy happily agreed. Tom’s dashing auburn hair that matched his fiery eyes and vibrant personality didn’t hurt his cause.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2014

JACKIE DOBSON/O’COLLY

Peggy and Tom Miller, who have been married for 51 years, are searching for Tom’s ring. He lost it at the Missouri State game.

The first date was a trip to the movies, where a quarter bought a ticket, snacks and a drink. Tom drove on his other pride and joy at the time — a Cushman-Eagle motor scooter.

Peggy burned her leg on the exhaust and had a scar for years.

LOSING THE RING On the rainy afternoon of Sept. 6, the Millers pulled onto the OSU campus with friends after staying the night at their Stillwater townhouse.

As season ticket holders for decades, the Millers were more than excited to see the first home football game of the 2014 season against Missouri State. Also because of their loyalty to the school, the Millers are

on a select list of people who get one game per year in the stadium’s megasuite.

They chose this one because they expected it to be hot outside for the 2:30 p.m. kickoff.

But rather than stiffing heat, the temperature was mild, and it had rained all day.

The couple got out of the car and Tom — now older and grayer and slower — fiddled with an umbrella and the cane he has used to get around since his left knee replacement only four weeks before.

As a result of the surgery, Tom lost close to 40 pounds. With the wet conditions, he thinks the ring slipped off his finger somewhere on the walk from the OSU POSSE parking lot

O’COLLY

west of the stadium to the southwest suite entrance.

Because of how wet it was outside, it’s possible it would have been tough to hear the ring hit the ground.

But the details are hazy because Tom didn’t realize his ring was missing until he went to put it on the next morning in Oklahoma City.

“I was sick,” Tom said. “I was just sick. I was kind of in a daze somewhat. You’ve had something for so long and it means so much, and all of a sudden it’s gone just like that.”

Tom and Peggy immediately started the search.

They went clean through their house and car, retraced steps and called stadium personnel, all to no avail.

They were convinced the

ring might be in their small townhouse they bought for the sole purpose of having a place to stay for OSU sporting events.

The weekend of the next game, they went through every inch of the place. Still no ring.

Kick: the cowboys are using a graduate assistant to coach special teams for the third straight year.

From Page 3 time position, you would think about hiring a fulltime special teams coach.

But then somebody would think we would need two line coaches …”

Both Linder and Discher came to OSU with experience coaching kickers. Discher coached special teams at SHSU. After Linder’s stint with the Cowboys, he joined North Carolina’s coaching staff.

Even then, the use of graduate assistants to coach OSU has seen production from kickers and punters decrease. From 2010-12, the Cowboys were at least in the top-20 nationally in both net punting and field goals per game.

In 2013, the Cowboys were No. 103 in net punting and No. 86 in field goals per game. And that drop has been the source for criticism from the outside.

Even Gundy, who has said he isn’t very involved with the kickers and doesn’t know what they do, has been

critical of special teams several times early this season.

Against Florida State, the punting unit had two poor snaps that resulted in good field position and led to 10 points for the Seminoles.

FSU won 38-31.

“Our punt game, our special teams, that’s my responsibility,” Gundy said.

“I didn’t see that coming. But our inability to punt the ball like we needed to, based on just proper execution, is what really cost us the game.”

Gundy remains critical of the punt game two games later due to a few shanked punts by Smith and some poor coverage. The question isn’t whether a graduate assistant is enough to handle special teams, but whether OSU should devote more to it.

“I feel like it’s a really good thing (having position coaches),” receiver Brandon Sheperd said. “It’s something you didn’t have in high school, but when you have it, you realize how much it really makes a difference.”

Grogan has Discher and Rob Glass, OSU’s strength and conditioning coach to help him as he tries to improve on his freshman season. Grogan hit 11-of-18 field goals, only a 61-percent conversion rate.

This season, he’s 8-of-11

and is tied for second in the Big 12 in points scored.

Gundy credits Grogan’s improvement to Glass, whom Gundy considers one of the best strength-and-conditioning coaches in the nation.

As far as fundamentals go, Gundy said the flight of Grogan’s kicks has improved and is very correctable. That’s good news for Grogan, who is criticized by fans routinely for his performances.

“I try not to think about it much,” Grogan said. “It’s not going away, so I have to make sure I keep working so that it doesn’t happen again.”

Given the limitations on staff size, maybe OSU is doing the best it can without cutting one of its receiving coaches or another position.

Special teams player Jerel Morrow, who was named OSU’s special teams player of the week, participates on punt coverage. He said special teams doesn’t suffer from having Discher or any other graduate assistant coaching the unit.

“He (Discher) does a great job of getting us prepared,” Morrow said. “If we didn’t have him, we’d be hurting a little bit. I don’t know if we’d be able to have as much detail in our stunts and all that we have to do.” sports@ocolly.com

Cultures to unite at festival

3 Full Days of Live Music!

October 2nd - 4th Guthrie, OK

Friday Night Late Show 10 p.m.

Turnpike Troubadours The Amigos Performers Include:

Attendees of the Harvest Moon Festival can partake in facepainting.

Montinique Monroe @iAmMontinique

As a curious freshman about four years ago, English major Saleah Blancaflor did a solo performance at her first Harvest Moon Festival in 2010.

Blancaflor dedicated her time to the Harvest Moon Festival continuously for three years, and today Blancaflor will perform at the Harvest Moon Festival for the last time as an undergraduate student at OSU. Her commitment to performing at the festival goes beyond gaining recognition. Blancaflor said Harvest Moon Festival is needed to maintain diversity throughout OSU and in the Stillwater community.

The festival will include a lantern parade, lion dance, food, games and performances on the international mall Wednesday at 6 p.m.

“It’s really just important to spread diversity throughout campus and then sort of teach other students and

even (just like) the Stillwater community in general about different cultures and different ethnicities,” Blancaflor said.

The Vietnamese Student Association created the event about 25 years ago. The festival brings Asian culture and traditions to Stillwater.

Today, the festival is known as the biggest event the Vietnamese Student Association and Asian American Student Association have to offer.

Katherine Troung, VASA president, said this Asian folklore-based event brings more to OSU than moon cakes. The festival is celebrated in various ways in many Asian countries.

She said some countries such as China and Vietnam celebrate the full moon on Sept. 15 for the Harvest Moon Festival. Troung said this event is a great way for all cultures at OSU to come together in a positive way.

“This is what it’s all about, literally meeting other people from different groups, different organizations and breaking out of your group,” Troung said. “We want

COURTESY OF ANTHONY TRAN

people to be aware of it and hopefully it just grows over the years like it has been.”

Catherine Vijayakumar, coordinator of Asian American affairs, planned her first Harvest Moon Festival when she began in 2002.

Vijayakumar knew about festivals planned around the lunar calendar, but she said her first experience with Harvest Moon Festival was at OSU. “It was a great experience because where I come from in India, we do have a lot of culture festival celebrations there,” Vijayakumar said.

“Harvest Moon festival was something new to me at that time . . . it was a great opportunity for me to learn.” news@ocolly.com Up Next
