Every year, Indiana University of Pennsylvania has a juncture called “IUP Day,” with the purpose to involve students in the IUP community.

On Friday, there were more than 150 clubs and organizations in attendance at IUP Day, which is held in the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.

Rows and rows of tables lined up in the transformed basketball court to impress and intrigue students into joining their clubs.

Though IUP Day is aimed toward freshmen, students of all ages were encouraged to come and try new things.

Captains, presidents and leaders of the organizations began to set up their stations around 2 p.m.

Each club seemed to have more elaborate decorations than the next.

The tables had certain bribes

September 11, 2018

such as candy, pens and wrist bands to lure students into talking to them.

Students began to pour in around 3 p.m. The complex soon filled with Crimson Hawks of all ages wandering around to see what groups best fit them.

A variety of clubs attended this event, such as The Diversity Student Council, The Haven Project and even the IUP sailing team.

The students that were assigned at their designated tables had lots to share.

“I think [IUP Day] has a very positive effect, it helps freshmen get involved and to find a place where they fit in,” IUP Day volunteer Cassidie Shultz (sophomore, education and communications) said.

“Freshman year determines their experience at IUP, so it’s important for them to see all of their opportunities.”

Ta’lia Martin (junior, human development, fashion, and interior design), member of the Diversity Student Council agreed.

“We educate people here, education is so important,” Martin said.

The Diversity Student Council organization was founded in 2014 and has been coming to IUP Day for three years.

Kirstyn Evans (junior, human development, fashion, and interior design), explained the main purpose of the club is to teach people about stereotypes, racism, sexism and ageism. Evans and other members agree that everyone is welcome, and every opinion is heard. The council has group discussions that try to enrich each other’s ways of thinking.

Overall, IUP Day was a success.

Many students communicated and networked with all different types of teams, clubs and groups.

This event is a great way to broaden your horizons and move out of your comfort zone. IUP Day is an annual occurrence that happens at the beginning of every school year.

Students swear in school ABE ESHELMAN

Contributing Writer A.Eshelman@iup.edu @DukeOfKalos

Swear words, profanity, cuss words, mature language, even bad words, there’s no college student who doesn’t know these four-letter words that always make parents wince.

Is swearing good? Is it bad?

That’s a matter of opinion.

What is not an opinion, however, is the dramatically increased and rising rate at which adolescents and youth swear compared to previous generations.

According to Deseret News writer Melanie Glover, “the average adolescent uses roughly 80 to 90 swear words a day.”

Students at IUP are no different, as some of them swear quite often.

“It’s just a habit I’ve picked up,” said Violet Hayes (freshman, communication disorders, special education and disability services).

“I do it a lot, probably more than I should.”

Hayes, like most college students, swears multiple times daily, usually in casual conversation, frustration or a joking manner.

She said that she doesn’t think it is a problem, depending on who’s around.

“If the people you’re around are okay with it, it’s OK, but to other people, it’s a matter of respect. I would never do it around my parents or teachers,” Hayes said.

Opinions throughout the American education system seem split on whether profane language is a detriment, an enhancement or has little-to-no effect on positive learning environments, primarily for college classes.

Some, like Shantae Brown of the Rob Brown College Preparatory School, push nontargeted swearing.

They promote teachers to not judge students for swearing in ways that are purely to vent frustrations or for non-aggressive tendencies and aren’t targeted at specific individuals.

On the opposite end, Emily George of the Collegiate Times

writes a brutal attack against professors who swear, on the stance that even – or especially – authority figures swearing distracts from the learning environment and seems “unprofessional.”

Assistant theater and dance professor Michael Schwartz is no stranger to a few cuss words whenever the lesson or story calls for it, and it would be difficult to find individuals who would consider these professors unprofessional or detracting from learning environments.

It’s deep divides like this that make it hard to make definitive decisions on swearing in adult learning environments for most individuals, students and professors alike.

While some may find the words offensive or immature, it’s unlikely that this profane, rebellious language will be stopping anytime soon.

Jordan Schneider of the Chronicle of Higher Education has a strong stance on the topic.

He believes that profanity is a natural part of speaking, and that holding yourself back limits your freedoms and personal expression overall, especially if swearing is a common part of your dialect.

“There is no rule that says intelligent or educated people have to avoid strong language,” said Schneider.

ELIOT KLEINBERG The Palm Beach Post TNS

At age 105, Bill Vogt has learned a thing or two.

Until Thursday afternoon, though, he’d never held in his hands the piece of paper proving what he’d known to be true about himself since 1935: That he is a graduate of San Diego State University.

At a small gathering on campus, school President Adela de la Torre gave him a diploma made to look like what he might have received 83 years ago.

“I hope I haven’t been a disgrace to the school,” Vogt quipped.

“Not at all,” the president said.

School officials believe he is the oldest of their alumni, and maybe the only one still living

who attended when the campus was a teachers’ college located in the University Heights neighborhood. He started there in 1931, driving from his home in La Mesa in a Model T. When the college moved to its present site he went with it, majoring in business – or, as it was called at the time, “commerce.”

He remembers having a lot of fun as an undergraduate. He was part of the group that put the first water-and-limestone “S” on Cowles Mountain.

But, he said Thursday, “I wasn’t a great student.” With Prohibition in place, he and his fraternity brothers may have spent a little too much time looking for booze and not enough time studying.

So in what should have been his final semester, one professor

was so unimpressed with Vogt’s academic performance that he refused to give him credit for a class, leaving him a few units short of graduation.He had to go back for another term to take a replacement course, finishing up in mid-year.

The next graduation ceremony was months away. He had other things on his mind than where to pick up his diploma.

Like finding work in the middle of the Great Depression.

“We were all scrambling,” he said.

Vogt got a job with a title company in town, then worked on several education-related New Deal projects around the state. With World War II looming, a Navy friend of his father’s suggested that he sign up for officer’s school.

Puddles occupy IUP after storms

(James Neuhausel/ The Penn) Pratt Auditorium flooded Monday after hours of rain.

(Jess Truby/ The Penn) The demolition of Leonard Hall left space for mud puddles to form.

Flooding is not anything new to IUP students. It can be a huge annoyance trying to get around campus.

In the event of a flood, know the safety procedures and protocols.

Floods can develop slowly over several days or be of the flash variety that develop from intense storms releasing vast amounts of rain in a brief period of time. Watch the weather, and be aware of your surroundings.

According to the IUP Emergency Operations Plan, “Be situationally aware and prepared to move immediately to a safe area upon notification of an imminent threat of flooding. Assist those with special needs or call for assistance immediately to secure assistance for them.

Evacuate when ordered to do so.�

San Diego State grad finally gets his diploma

Continued from page 4.

Assigned to naval intelligence, he spent the war in various postings.

Vogt also served in the Korean War, and then went to the Pentagon, where he had a front-row seat for the Cuban Missile Crisis and the seizure in 1968 of the USS Pueblo by North Korean forces.

Vogt retired from the military in 1970 and settled back home in San Diego, into a house that he and his wife, Lillian, had built on Mount Soledad. He then had a brief second career, working a half-dozen years as a school administrator, before retiring for good.

His wife died in 2013.

Over the years, Vogt kept tabs on his alma mater. He cheered for the football and basketball teams.

He marveled at how big the campus was getting.

In May, he decided to join the alumni association as a life member. He was enticed by an offer of a free wooden diploma frame for anyone who signed up.

Now all he needed was a diploma.

Sandra Cook, associate vice president for enrollment management, had her staff search

(TNS) San Diego State alumni Bill Vogt, 105, who graduated from San Diego State in 1935, holds his diploma, which he originally didn’t receive because he graduated in mid-year, just after he finally received it at San Diego State University in San Diego on Aug. 16, 2018.

the archives to find his academic records, confirming that he had earned a bachelor of arts degree.

“There’s so much bad news in the world,” Cook said. “It was a treat to have something like this to work on.”

Her office then put together the diploma, made to look as close as possible to the ones handed

out in 1935, right down to his now outdated major, Commerce.

Vogt’s son, Bob, said his father was a little nervous Thursday morning, worried about being an oddity.

“They just want to see me because I’m old,” he grumbled.

But during the gathering, de la Torre and Dan Montoya, an

assistant vice president, talked about the “living legacy” Vogt represents, how he is an important bridge from the school’s past to its present.

“Bill was an Aztec before this campus was even built,” Montoya said.

When he was handed the diploma, Vogt said, “It’s beautiful.

To think that I would ever get this, let alone in this way, is unbelievable.” He joked about being the only person ever to have a private graduation ceremony.

“I’m going to hang it on the wall with pride,” he said.

After the ceremony, as Vogt accepted congratulations from wellwishers and posed for photos, his son shook his head in wonder at his father’s spunk and longevity.

“The first thing he would tell you is he’s been lucky,” Bob Vogt, 69, said.

But his father is also “a careful guy,” Vogt said, “a creature of moderation.” If he wants a belt of bourbon, he takes it. If he wants some bacon, he eats it.

“He doesn’t deny himself anything, but he also doesn’t do anything to excess,” his son said.

And his father reads, all the time. Newspapers, magazines, books. He pays attention to current events, gives voice to his opinions, knows who Taylor Swift is.

Bob Vogt said he already has an epitaph in mind, one that helps explain why his father went to college in the first place, all those years ago: “Curiosity didn’t kill this cat.”

Brother pleads guilty in Penn State hazing case BRET PALLOTTO Centre Daily Times TNS

A second former Beta Theta Pi fraternity brother entered an open guilty plea on Wednesday to charges stemming from the investigation into Timothy Piazza’s death.

Joseph Ems Jr. gave 19-yearold pledge Thaddeus Lorenz a bottle of Burnett’s pink lemonade vodka in the basement of the fraternity house.

He pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of hazing and one misdemeanor count of furnishing alcohol to a minor.

The charges are not related to Piazza, according to the information filed by the Office of the Attorney General.

The 22-year-old from Philadelphia is scheduled to be sen-

tenced by Judge Brian Marshall on Sept. 27.

Marshall – the judge assigned to all non-trial matters – sentenced “rush chair” Ryan Burke to three months of house arrest, 27 months of probation, 100 hours of community service and fined him more than $3,000 on July 31.

Burke pleaded guilty to nine charges – including four misdemeanor counts of hazing – on June 13.

One of the four hazing charges was associated with Lorenz, and Marshall ultimately sentenced Burke to 12 months of probation and at least a $200 fine for the charge.

Jay Abom, one of Ems’ two attorneys, declined to comment after Wednesday’s court appearance.

Wake-up call:

Anyone can have an addiction The death of Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller on Friday left many fans shocked and grief-stricken.

Having been only 19 years old when he released his first album in 2011, many fans expressed on social media that they felt as if they’d grown up with him and were better able to relate to the messages in his music, making his passing at only 26 years old even more difficult to cope with.

While the official cause of his death has not been released, many sources have claimed that it was due to an “apparent drug overdose.”

Miller was always candid about how he used drugs to cope with his mental illness in interviews, as well as in his music.

After Miller’s death, many people took to social media, lamenting over the next celebrity to succumb to drug use.

But what about the thousands of “normal” people who fall victim to their drug habits every day?

Since 2002, the national (Original image from Robin Marchant/Getty Images) rate of drug overdose deaths Mac Miller’s death opened a conversation on social media about substance abuse and mental has increased by 79 percent, health.

cause they’re “fun,” but because they need an escape, whether it be from issues going on in their lives or in their own heads.

The stigma surrounding drug addiction continues to make it difficult for those afflicted to reach out for help. Addicts fear being judged or labeled as simply “junkies” who don’t deserve help.

But they do need help. Most addicts require constant treatment through medication and behavioral therapy to ensure a recovery that lasts. Willpower alone is unlikely to ever be enough to overcome addiction.

Following Mac Miller’s death, many people took to social media to deem themselves as a safe person for others to come to with their problems and urged those struggling to reach out.

While this is a good first step, it’s best to remember that people who are struggling find it very difficult to reach out and don’t want to burden others with their problems.

So if you truly care, sit down with a friend who you think may need help. Be honest and sincere about your desire to help them find the best option to fight their demons.

It may seem awkward at first, but that initial awkwardness is worth it if it means helping someone you care about.

And remember: people are struggling every day, not just after a celebrity dies.

Mac Miller’s legacy, music live on

This article contains opinion.

Malcom McCormick, aka Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller, was pronounced dead Friday at age 26 in his Studio City, Calif., home.

Miller was already pronounced dead from cardiac arrest by the time responders reached his home, according to authorities.

Miller was scheduled to shoot a video the day of his death.

Miller was more than just a rapper from the Steel City. He was a friend to many, an icon and a major influence on many kids who grew up in Western Pennsylvania at the time of his come up.

Miller busted into the national music scene after his 2010 mixtape, “K.I.D.S.” Tracks on the mixtape such as, “Nikes on My Feet,” “Senior Skip Day” and “Knock Knock” have still been profoundly played in Pennsylvania and across the nation for nearly a decade.

“The Spins,” another track off “K.I.D.S.,” is still one of the most popular songs to get down to at colleges, such as IUP. By the time Miller signed with Rostrum Records in 2010, he had already formed close ties with fellow Pittsburgh rapper and Taylor Allderdice High School graduate Wiz Khalifa, who had broke into the music scene just shortly before Miller.

Miller’s next project “Best Day Ever,” a 16-track mixtape that featured only Miller himself, Phonte on the chorus of a song dedicated to his mother and Khalifa on a marijuana-inspired song, “Keep Floatin,” was a hit.

The single “Donald Trump” debuted on the Billboard Top 100, at No. 80. Since the release, the song has been downloaded more than one million times.

All of this success came at a very young age for Miller, and even before he released his first official album.

That album would come when he released “Blue Slide Park.” The album, named after the infamous

8

Mac Miller performed at IUP in October 2016.

Frick Park in Pittsburgh, was another major success for the young rapper.

Songs such as “PA Nights” and “Frick Park Market” resonated closely with fans all across his home state.

In 2012, Miller released his sophomore album, “Watching Movies with the Sound Off.” The album was very personal to Miller, after going through many more life experiences since his last album.

A little more than a year later, Miller founded his own record company, REMember Music, named after a close friend who died.

In May 2014, Miller released his 10th mixtape, “Faces.” The following year he released his third album, “GO:OD AM.” “GO:OD AM” produced hits such as “Weekend (feat. Miguel)” and “Jump.” Following the release, the Pittsburgh legend was back on top.

Shortly after Miller’s 2016 release of his fourth studio album,

“The Divine Feminine,” an album dedicated to all females, he went on tour with a special stop to none other than IUP. The hour-long performance, and STATIC’s (The Student Activity Committee’s) first-ever hosted concert, could be described as a very intimate performance with so many of the kids that felt like they grew up with Miller for years.

Even without the help of a full band, the concert was deemed a “major success” by IUP students.

Throughout the next few years, Miller was seen constantly at Pittsburgh sporting events and in Hollywood’s tabloids because of his relationship with pop star Ariana Grande.

The one-time power couple split in May, and Grande soon after announced she was engaged to Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson.

It all led up to Miller’s final album, “Swimming,” which he released on Aug. 3. Since Miller’s passing, “Swimming” has reached

September 11, 2018

No. 1 on iTunes Album streaming chart.

Throughout the last few years of Miller’s career, he seemed to struggle with substance abuse issues.

“I love lean; it’s great,” Miller told Complex in 2013. “I was not happy, and I was on the lean heavy. I was so fucked up at the time it was bad. My friends couldn’t even look at me the same. I was lost.”

His substance abuse issues also seemed to be the cause of his and Grande’s relationship deterioration. Shortly after the relationship ended Grande spoke publicly about how his substance abuse was “the deal breaker” in their relationship.

In 2013 Miller told Noisy, “Drugs are dangerous, dude. But they’re awesome. Just dangerous.

Drugs are not a new thing. Especially with me. I’ve been doing drugs since I was fifteen.”

But beyond Miller’s battle with the disease of addiction and his music was a person.

"He had a magnetic personality,” said Melissa Friez, Miller’s high school principal, to the Tribune-Review. "He related well to his peers. He didn't act as if he was better than anyone."

Following his graduation, he returned to Taylor Allderdice High School.

"He was always exactly the same," Friez said. "He was proud of his roots."

Following his death, many people let the world know exactly the person Miller was.

“I don’t know what to say Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever,” Chance the Rapper wrote on Twitter. “But beyond helping me launch my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. I’m completely broken. God bless him. It’s so crazy cause [Earl Sweatshirt] literally hit me up this morning him and [Vince Staples] were real friends I met at a pivotal time in my life through mac. This shit hurts so bad. If you love someone [make] sure u tell em.”

“Rest in Peace to the great soul Mac Miller,” rapper J. Cole tweeted. “This is a message for anybody in this game that’s going through something. If you don’t feel right, if you feel you have a substance problem, if you need a ear to vent to. If you uncomfortable talking to people around you.

Please reach out to me.”

Hearts broke all across the country Friday when they heard the news but especially here in Western Pennsylvania.

“The man absolutely enjoyed life, its like we all lost a brother,” Koden Thompson, the lead singer in a Western Pennsylvania rock band known as “Design the Void,” tweeted. “Mac was somebody who everybody could relate to on such a real and emotional level and his legacy will live on through the lives he touched and the music he made.”

There will never be enough words to describe the life and influence Miller had on so many, especially here in his state.

Thank you for everything, Mac, rest easy.

Wheatus lights up stage at Philly Street folk festival KATIE MEST

Managing Editor K.A.Mest@iup.edu @katiemest

A crowd of about 100 filled the intersection of Philadelphia Street and Sixth Street on Saturday to see American rock band Wheatus perform.

Rain and 60-degree weather couldn’t scare away the crowd at the annual Northern Appalachian Folk Festival. As vendors packed away their stands, fans were just starting to arrive.

Wheatus, known for their 2000 hit song “Teenage Dirtbag,” engaged the audience from the very beginning.

Lead singer Brendan B. Brown announced at the start that they tend not to prepare a set list, but rather they ask the audience members what they want to hear.

The band started with “Lemonade” before introducing “Michelle,” a brand-new song.

They played more like a group of friends having fun than an organized, cookie-cutter performance.

At one point, Brown came out into the crowd to join an audience member under a rainbow umbrella while he tuned his guitar for the next song. He also gave a shoutout to two fans he recognized from previous concerts years before.

While each band member contributed to the liveliness of the performance, bassist Matthew Milligan truly put on a show. Even though he typically stayed in the back-right corner of the stage, he and his curly hair came alive with each song.

Though Indiana, Pa., is significantly smaller than most venues they play, the band kept the enthusiasm as strong as ever throughout the entire performance.

There was never a point where the band members weren’t smiling and laughing, which translated well into the attitude of the crowd.

With each song came dancing, swaying and singing (technically screaming

over the bass from the amps) from audience members, each one waiting to hear the one song.

For those who were in high school or college in 2000, it embodies the feeling of youth.

The crowd members met the opening guitar riff with wide smiles and knowing glances to their friends standing next to them.

If they didn’t already have them in their hands, they whipped their cellphones out to catch the moment on tape.

“Teenage Dirtbag” was the final song the band played for the evening.

Brown paused

halfway through the song to invite his friend’s young son up onto the stage, eventually inviting all the young children in the crowd to join him up and out of the rain.

“Indiana, thanks for letting us be a part of your family today,” Brown said.

The kids just smiled and waved into the audience as the familiar “I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby” rang from the microphones behind them.

The crowd was ecstatic.

Wheatus’ next big concerts will be in November in the United Kingdom, according to its website.

Former NFL player Colton Underwood will be the star of the new season of “The Bachelor.”

Colton Underwood suits up for “The Bachelor” BETHANY BAILEY Contributing Writer B.Bailey@iup.edu @ThePenn

Who is Colton Underwood, and why does everyone hate him?

Like most men picked as the

Bachelor, the 26-year-old was a contestant on the previous season of “The Bachelorette.”

America did not always have this blatant disdain for the former Oakland Raider. In fact, the new Bachelor was surprisingly once a favorite.

DAMEN PROPERTIES CONVENIENTLY LOCATED NEAR CAMPUS AFFORDABLY PRICED APARTMENTS AVAILABLE: 1, 2, 3, & 4 BEDROOM

UTILITIES INCLUDED PARKING AVAILABLE www.damenproperties.com (724) 388-2008

Underwood was known as the one of the many sweethearts on season 14 of “The Bachelorette.”

He seemed to always be upfront about everything with Bachelorette, Becca Kufrin. He confessed to Becca and the entire nation that he was a virgin.

Underwood even told Becca that before he came on the show he had shown interest in a close friend of hers (Tia Booth) before he was chosen as a contestant.

America immediately fell for his charm and honesty. So how did this down-to-earth stud become so hated in such a short amount of time?

Two months after season 14 of “The Bachelorette,” Underwood was chosen to go on “Bachelor in Paradise.”

During this year’s season of “Bachelor in Paradise” his name was in everyone’s mouths.

Tia and Colton were one of the most entertaining couples to watch during this season. The two’s onagain-off-again relationship drove America crazy.

Underwood seemed to string Booth along and the fandom was not having it.

“He has no idea what he wants…he just wants to flirt with a bunch of girls and become famous,” Instagram user @nibot54 commented. “You can tell he has no desire to be in a relationship.”

Harsh, no? Social media has blown up with similar and more

explicit things to say about Underwood.

However, Megan Perz, (junior, hospitality management) said she thinks his motives are innocent.

“I think he is out there to find the love of his life,” she said.

Perz seems to be a minority in this situation. Most of the nation appears to disagree and expresses that there could have been a better man suited for the position.

Allyson Eifret (senior, hospitality management) said she would have preferred Blake Horstmann.

“Colton doesn’t seem to have the right intentions,” Eifret said.

Eifret is not the only person that believes Horstmann” (Becca Kufrin’s almost fiance) deserved that spot. It seemed like everyone on the internet wanted Horstmann to be the next Bachelor.

But, according to creator Chris Harrison, “Good TV and a good story is a lot of it.”

Underwood seemed to have both characteristics.

The next season premiere of “The Bachelor” has not yet been revealed. Like most of the pilot episodes, the fans are sure that it will begin in January 2019.

Volleyball splits matches 2-2 MIKE COSTA

Staff Writer M.T.Costa@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

The IUP volleyball team split the four-game Vulcan Invitational at CaliVOLLEYBALL fornia University of Pennsylvania over the weekend.

Although they fell to West Virginia Wesleyan in the first match Friday 17-25, the Crimson Hawks went 3-0 in the following matches winning 25-15, 25-20 and an impressive 25-7 to close the series 3-1.

Liv Burns (sophomore, speech pathology) had a career-high 11 kills to help the Crimson Hawks take the series along with three aces and two blocks.

Saturday was a complete turnaround to how Friday ended with the Crimson Hawks sweeping Southern New Hampshire 25-16, 25-22 and 25-14.

One of the highlights in this se-

ries was sophomore Dominica Niccolai (business), who was a playmaker, setting up the team with 34 assists. Kylie Osborn (freshman, biology) had another impressive match, finishing with 11 kills, as did sophomore Madi Burns (athletic training).

Jessica Ignace (junior, criminology) was also on record for having nine kills and an impressive .438 hitting percentage.

The No.1 ranked Nebraska-Kearney match was played following West Virginia Wesleyan, in which the Crimson Hawks fell 3-0 in the series.

Jess Marut (senior, marketing) finished the series with 11 digs this match.

Although IUP may have not had its best performance in regard to the scoreboard, statistically it was comparable in blocks and digs.

Finally, the Crimson Hawks closed the weekend with a 0-3 loss to Notre Dame (Ohio).

Similar to the Nebraska-Kearney

series, Indiana was up to par with Notre Dame (Ohio) statistically.

Digs were in favor of the Falcons 59-52, assists 40-35, and kills 47-37.

As coach Scott Pennewill said prior to this invitational, he plans on improving the hitting percentage of the team.

The Crimson Hawks finished with a .110 percent to the Falcons .197 percent, and that would seem to be the only thing that held them back.

The Crimson Hawks finished the tournament with an overall record of 4-8 and have the next three games at home starting with Shippensburg at 7 p.m. Friday at the Memorial Field House.

The following day, the team will face off against Pitt-Johnstown at 1 p.m. and will end the homestand on Tuesday, Sept. 18, versus Wheeling Jesuit at 6 p.m.

Both of those matches, among their first in conference play, will be held in the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Center (KCAC).

(Sports Illustrated) On Sept. 11, 1985, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds became the all-time leader in base hits in Major League Baseball history. Rose’s 4,192nd hit surpassed the previous record set by Ty Cobb in 1928. Only Rose, Cobb and Ichiro Suzuki have surpassed 4,000 hits in a professional baseball career.

Quarter-by-quarter Keystone Classic breakdown MIKE COSTA

Staff Writer M.T.Costa@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

The third of four “Keystone Classic” games, as the battle between Penn State University and the Uni-

versity of Pittsburgh football teams has been known since the return of the rivalry to the schedule in 2016 following a 16-year hiatus, took place this past Saturday night, as the Nittany Lions blew out the Panthers by a score of 51-6.

A rivalry game, heavily influenced by rain, kept the ball out of the air most of the night.

However, what the game lacked in regard to the modern passing game, it made up for in a sloppy, “smash-mouth” game similar to that of the Penn State-Pitt matchups during the ‘70s when running back legends such as Tony Dorsett and John Cappelletti were still in college.

After the final whistle blew, looking back at the game as a whole, it’s clear that Pittsburgh was in trouble when they messed something up as simple as the coin flip.

Pitt won the toss, and while head coach Pat Narduzzi wanted to defer, the Pitt captains elected to receive. Everything from here on out was downhill for the Panthers, as there were many mistakes on which Pittsburgh failed to capitalize.

Pittsburgh had a lot going for them, and this may have been the best football they played all game despite the score.

While Penn State had a big opening play by quarterback Trace

McSorley, Pitt looked in control on the offensive side of the ball and was able to get into rhythm and drive down the field with quarterback Kenny Pickett.

However, one of the many mistakes the Panthers made started with a failed two-point conversion following their first touchdown by running back Qadree Ollison.

2nd Quarter: The quarter opened up with another long run by Ollison but ended with a missed field goal for Pittsburgh.

Both teams went back and forth most of the quarter until Pittsburgh punter Kirk Christodoulou fumbled the snap and Penn State’s McSorley found receiver KJ Hamler in the end zone with a minute remaining in the first half.

While most of the game was on the ground, Pittsburgh seemed to dominate statistically.

But Heisman-like plays made by McSorley gave the Nittany Lions the slight edge on the scoreboard.

3rd Quarter: Half of this quarter was pretty

quiet until McSorley rushed one in for six points with eight minutes left.

A hold in the end zone by the Panthers gave the Nittany Lions a safety as well as a dropped punt by Pittsburgh with two minutes left.

To make matters worse, Penn State’s DeAndre Thompkins returned a punt right after to make the score 30-6.

4th Quarter: Mac Hippenhammer started the quarter off with a receiving TD from McSorley, followed by a rushing TD

by Mark Allen. To cap off this dominating performance by Penn State, Brandon Polk catches the final TD from backup quarterback Sean Clifford.

The Nittany Lions go to 2-0 and are currently second in the Big Ten East division with a national rank of No. 11.

Pittsburgh falls to 1-1 in the ACC. The rivalry continues in 2019 on Sept. 14 in Beaver Stadium in what will be the last edition of the “Keystone Classic” until at least 2026, potentially giving this rivalry another lengthy hiatus.

Week One in the NFL filled with close games ELLIOT HICKS

Sports Editor e.hicks@iup.edu @ehicks39

After another long summer, the NFL began its full week one slate Sunday, following an exciting win by the Philadelphia Eagles in the season opener this past Thursday night.

The defending Super Bowl champions defeated the Atlanta Falcons 18-12 at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Sunday games featured quite a few league milestones.

The first tie in a season opener since 1971 came in Cleveland, as the Browns avoided losing for the first time since a 2016 Christmas Eve win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Overtime ended with the final score at 21 even.

Both teams missed field goals of 40-plus yards in the extra period.

In chilly, rainy weather, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger struggled and threw four interceptions, but James Conner had 192 total yards and two touchdowns in his first start as a Steeler, putting a positive spin on the day as Pittsburgh continues to be without All-Pro back Le’Veon Bell.

The longest game since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger was won by the Miami Dolphins, as they defeated the Tennessee Titans 27-20.

In a contest that featured two kick returns of 90-plus yards (one by each team), two weather delays totaling roughly four hours resulted in the total game time reaching

(TNS) Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sacked four times on Sunday.

nearly seven hours.

In addition to those two, seven of the other 13 games played on Sunday had a final deficit of eight

points or less for the losing team.

Kirk Cousins won his first game as a Viking as they defeated San Francisco and Jimmy Garoppolo.

Tampa Bay upset New Orleans in an offensive shootout by a final score of 48-40.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw for 439 yards and three touchdowns but was beaten by the Bucs’ backup Ryan Fitzpatrick, who threw for four touchdowns and 417 yards in replacement of former first overall pick Jameis Winston.

Baltimore steamrolled the Buffalo Bills 47-3.

The Ravens’ Joe Flacco put up a good showing in attempt to fend off the pressure of offseason quarterback additions Lamar Jackson and Robert Griffin III, while Bills rookie QB Josh Allen saw his first

NFL action when Nathan Peterman was benched after putting up a 0.0 QB rating.

Houston kept things close against New England, but bad management of the game clock gave the Patriots a 27-20 victory in Foxborough.

Rookie running back Saquon Barkley scored his first NFL touchdown for the New York Giants, but it wasn’t enough to beat Jacksonville, as the Jaguars took a 20-15 victory.

In the Sunday night game, Chicago took advantage of a temporary injury to Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers to build a 20-0 lead – but once Rodgers returned, he led the Packers on the comeback trail, resulting in a 24-23 victory for the Pack.

(MMA Weekly) Tyron Woodley and Darren Till fought during the main event of UFC 228 on Sept. 8.

UFC 228 comes and goes with shocking results BRAD O’HARA

Staff Writer B.L.Ohara@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

UFC 228 came and went this past Saturday in a decisive fashion.

All but one of the fights on the main card was decided by a finish.

The opening fight was between Abdul Razak Alhassan and Niko Price, although it is hard to call it a fight for how quickly it went by.

The entirety of the fight was only 44 seconds.

Those 44 seconds were completely in favor of Alhassan, and it was only a matter of time before he would knock Price down for good.

The next fight lasted much longer than the first one and was actu-

ally the only fight of the night to go all three rounds.

Jimmy Rivera and John Dodson jumped into a battle early on, but Rivera quickly took control of the fight.

Rivera landed a total of 22 more strikes than Dodson by the end of the fight.

When the fifteen minutes came to a close, it was a unanimous decision by the judges that Jimmie Rivera deserved the victory.

Zabit Margomedsharipov and Brandon Davis also looked as if they were going to go the distance after the first round.

In the first round, Zabit and Davis had the same amount of total strikes and significant strikes.

The only thing that may have leaned the fight in Zabit’s favor is his one takedown and the 44 seconds of ground control.

However, the second round was entirely in Zabit’s favor.

Zabit landed 25 total strikes and had five takedowns leading up to his submission attempt that would end the fight.

The co-main event of the card was originally supposed to be a title match between Valentina Shevchenko and Nicco Montano for the Women’s Flyweight Championship, but a health concern with Nicco Montano had the fight cancelled.

Taking its place was a women’s strawweight fight between Jessica

Andrade and Karolina Kowalkiewicz.

Andrade took this promotion on the match card as her opportunity to make her case for a championship bout, and she did just that.

Andrade was dominant landing 38 significant strikes and winning the fight by TKO slightly fewer than two minutes into the first round.

This fight also won Andrade the performance of the night honors.

The main event of the evening between Tyron Woodley and Darren Till came as a shock to most fight fans.

The odds going into this fight were even, but Till barely showed up.

The first round was all Woodley,

as Till only landed one strike in the entire round.

The second round went almost identically to the first.

Till did not land a single strike in the entire second round and Woodley kept throwing them until Till was knocked down.

At this point, Woodley changed up his approach and locked in the submission that would him the fight and allow him to retain his title.

UFC 229, which will take place on Oct. 6, brings the return of polarizing fighter Conor McGregor to the octagon.

McGregor has not fought since a boxing loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Aug. 26, 2017.
