Annual YMCA Dump and Run raises $12,000 BY STEPHANIE AGUILAR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The University YMCA held its 12th annual Dump and Run fundraiser in efforts to reduce litter and consumer waste in Champaign-Urbana at the Stock Pavilion on Saturday and Sunday. The fundraiser provides collection boxes every year while students are moving out at the end of spring semester, in which students and the community can donate their unwanted goods to the YMCA. The two-day garage sale is to raise money and reduce landfill waste. Kasey Umland, University YMCA program director, said the fundraiser had raised more than $12,000 this year. Umland said the fundraiser began when a secretary noticed the attic of the YMCA was crowded with unused goods and had heard about a similar fundraiser and believed it would be a great idea to start one on campus. She said the fundraiser is not only a good way to raise money, but also a good way to provide international students at the University with cheap goods. She said she has heard of many international students who come to the University with only one suitcase, and this fundraiser helps to reduce their spending costs when they arrive on campus. Julie Carlson, a recent graduate from the University and volunteer at the Dump and Run, said she was a Bailey Scholar at the YMCA when she considered helping out. “I transferred to the University my sophomore year and lived in the dorms for my first semester and was overwhelmed with the amount of things that people don’t need or throw away that are perfectly good,” she said. “I heard about this last year and thought it was a great way to recycle.” Carlson said on Saturday, people were lined up past the street before the sale had opened to the public. She said most of the goods were furniture, clothing and homeware. After 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, the Dump and Run had its free sale where goods without price tags were available for anyone until 4 p.m. Between those hours, there had been approximately 65 to 70 people still shopping. You Xai, a sophomore in Engineering, was shopping for free apartment goods and said this was his second year attending the Dump and Run. Xai said he donated last year and highly recommends people to attend.

BY JOLIE HUANG STAFF WRITER

The University’s 42nd annual Quad Day was met with 90 degree heat, yet students still arrived well before noon, the event’s designated start time, ready to see the host of organizations the University could offer them. The event kick-started with performances in front of Foellinger Auditorium, including those by the University’s Marching Band, the Illinettes and the Illini cheerleaders. According to Scott Carrico, the 2012 event coordinator and current Student Organization Resource Fee program adviser, approximately 12,000 students attended Quad Day in 2012. Although no official numbers for 2013 have been confirmed, he previously said he projected student attendance this year to be similar to last year’s. More than 600 registered student organizations made an appear-

Many RSO’s also had give-away items, such as plastic cups, Frisbees, pens and the occasional T-shirt. Beginning in the spring semester, RSOs could reserve space on the Quad after paying a $28 registration fee through the Illini Union Board, the event’s official host organization. For many freshmen, attending Quad Day is the first step to becoming more involved on campus. “Everyone told me Quad Day was something I defi nitely had to go to,” said Susan Jean, freshman in Engineering. “I did a lot

Former band director charged with theft BY HANNAH PROKOP AND LAUREN ROHR DAYTIME EDITOR AND NEWS EDITOR

Former Director of Bands Robert Rumbelow resigned Thursday following a University Police Department investigation that concluded that he sold more than $50,000 worth of University instruments and deposited the money in his personal bank accounts. According to a press release from the University Police, Rumbelow admitted to selling the University’s instruments and said he intended to return the money to the band department. Rumbelow paid the University $86,000 amid his resignation. “(Rumbelow) said that he was selling the instruments to raise enough money to fund a feasibility study for the band program,” said UIPD Detective James Carter, who was the lead investigator of the case. Rumbelow’s attorney could not be reached for comment. The case began with a complaint to the University’s Ethics Office and was initially investi-

The center offers support for everyone in the University and is not just for the LGBT community. “The different booths represent the different cultural houses and also our study programs,” Thoss said. “Each one of them has a selected food from that particular culture, so there are empanadas and there are rainbow cookies for the LGBT center.”

Women’s Resources Center Students stopped by the Women’s Resource Center for dessert. The center offered sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies to students. “The Taste of Nevada is the University’s opportunity to show the new students, and to expose the current students, to our cultural houses,” Thoss said. “And to show them what culture means here at the University of Illinois.” The center provides service to all students and offers a place

gated by the Office of University Audits. “It was good work by the audits office and Detective Carter,” said UIPD Lt. Matt Myrick. “The tip to the ethics office was key to uncovering this behavior.” The investigation confirmed inconsistency among inventory lists, which were prepared by Rumbelow as part of a program that allowed the University to trade in old instruments for credit toward new ones, according to the release. The investigation concluded that 76 instruments, many of which were sold by Rumbelow on eBay and through other contacts, were missing from these lists. Additionally, University police found “questionable purchases” made on Rumbelow’s P-Card, a University credit card given to employees to be used for official purchases of qualified supplies and equipment. Campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said there was no separation agreement. She cited his resignation as a “personnel matter” but declined further comment.

Rumbelow’s resignation is effective immediately. He was replaced by Linda Moorhouse, acting director of bands. In an email sent to the School of Music, Jeffrey Magee, interim Director of the school of music, said he remains confident in the bands division’s leadership. “We look forward to a great season for our bands, a healthy and sound fiscal future, and a continued reputation in setting the standards for concert performance, music education and scholarship,” he said. University Police issued Rumbelow a notice to appear in court on the charge of theft over $10,000 and was assigned a court date of Sept. 24. The case is currently under review by the Offie of the Champaign County State’s Attorney.

groups also provided entertainment throughout the day, a practice that originated at the first Quad Day in 1970. This year’s lineup consisted of groups with a diverse range of talents, varying from dance and stunt teams to University acapella singing groups. Some performances exhibited cultural themes, such as the Ghungroo Dance Company, which featured Indianstyle ankle bells in its classical performance.

Lily Wang, a performer for the Taiwanese American Student Club and junior in LAS, said she was proud to perform during Quad Day, as it’s “not an opportunity that everyone really gets.” “The turnout was great today,” Wang said. “It was really great being able to show the entire student body our culture (through the performance).”

Ramirez said he wants students to know the center is open to everyone and they can help anyone that comes through their door.

Syria agrees to UN chemicalweapons inspectors on site BY PATRICK J. MCDONNELL LOS ANGELES TIMES

BEIRUT — The Syrian government agreed Sunday to allow United Nations inspectors to visit the sites of suspected chemicalweapon attacks outside Damascus, the official Syrian news agency said. Syrian officials and the U.N. “have agreed to a mutual understanding that enters into force immediately allowing the U.N. inspection team to investigate” the sites of the recent alleged attacks, the state media outlet said in a written statement. The reported accord comes as U.S. officials were said to be preparing for a possible military strike on Syria in retaliation for the government’s alleged use of chemical weapons. President

Barack Obama met with his top security advisers this weekend about the Syria crisis. A 20-member contingent of U.N. inspectors is already in Damascus, but the team’s official mandate was limited to looking into three previous allegations of chemical weapons use in Syria. Sunday’s agreement would seem to open the way for the experts to visit several areas near the capital where chemical weapons allegedly struck last week. The U.N. and individual member nations, including the United States and Russia, have been pressing Damascus to allow the experts to visit the disputed sites. The U.N. staff “should coordinate with the Syrian government on the date and time of the team’s visit to the sites agreed to

by the two sides,” the state news media said. The Syrian government has denied using chemical weapons in a series of alleged attacks that occurred early Wednesday against opposition strongholds outside of Damascus. Opposition representatives have accused the government of mounting poison-gas bombardments, killing hundreds, including women and children. Unverified video said to be of the victims has caused global outrage and prompted calls for an independent inquiry. Experts have said the images are not conclusive but could indicate the deployment of a nerve agent of some kind and have stressed the need for onsite inspection.

People listen to speakers during the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.

King speech: 50 years later BY WILLIAM DOUGLAS, VERA BERGENGRUEN AND LESLEY CLARK MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Tens of thousands of people from across the nation gathered at the National Mall on Saturday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and to rally for what they believe is the unfinished business of the civil rights battle. Under picture-perfect blue skies, the throng assembled around the base of the Lincoln Memorial — where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech — and listened to speaker after speaker implore them to become active participants, not bystanders, in the quest of racial equality and harmony. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., the only living speaker from the 1963 march, fired up Saturday’s crowd by exhorting them to fight against the Supreme Court’s decision last June that struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. “I gave a little blood on that bridge in Selma, Ala.,” he told the crowd, referring to the 1965 “Bloody Sunday” march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., in which protestors were brutally beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. “I got arrested 40 times during the ‘60s, beaten and left bloodied and unconscious . . . But I’m not tired. I am ready to fight and continue to fight, and you must fight.” Attorney General Eric Holder echoed his sentiments, saying Saturday’s event was “about far more than reflecting on our past.” “This morning, we must affirm that this struggle must, and will, go on in the cause of our quest for justice — until every eligible American has the chance to exercise his or her right to vote, unencumbered by discriminatory or unneeded procedures, or practices. It must go on until our criminal justice system can ensure that all are treated equally and fairly in the eyes of the law.” As the morning of oratory moved along, more and more people seemed to make their way to the Mall. The National Park Service, which is in charge of the Mall, doesn’t provide crowd size estimates. In their planning for the event, District of Columbia officials said they were expecting at least 700 55-passenger charter buses from out of town. Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP’s Washington bureau, estimated that more than 100,000 people were on the Mall by noon on Saturday. The mood and atmosphere around the Lincoln Memorial were festive and reflective as people sat on blankets or on lawn chairs and cheered as speakers made their points. Many young people and adults wore T-shirts or buttons, or carried signs protesting the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. Vendors hawked March on Washing-

Paulette Hobbs, of Linden, New Jersey, listens intently to one of the speakers at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Saturday. ton anniversary paraphernalia, goods with Trayvon Martin’s likeness, and buttons and T-shirts signifying President Barack Obama’s two elections. Emma Daniels, 70, wore a cap adorned with buttons from the 1963 march. Standing under a shady tree with her family, Daniels pointed to where she and other members of Augusta, Ga.’s Tabernacle Baptist Church stood 50 years ago when they made the bus journey to Washington. “I wanted my children to have the same feeling that I had — change,” said Daniels, who now lives in Lorton, Va. “We came out here to march for change, we can’t stay home. We’ve seen a lot of change, we’re going forward, it’s slow, but we’re moving forward.” Daniels said she noticed a different atmosphere Saturday than what she experienced in the Aug. 28, 1963, march. She said she remembers there being an air of tension then, mainly because many of the 250,000 people who were there that day had traveled through a segregated South and feared being stopped by inhospitable law enforcement officers along the way. “This is so much more relaxed than when we came up — like a family reunion,” she said. Melanie Marshall, 34, Daniels’ daughter, said the Saturday’s event gave her a greater appreciation for the right to assemble. “In Egypt, people are fighting and killing each other in the

street,” she said. “We’re lucky to be able to come together like this, in a peaceful way.” Amber Brown, 43, made the five-hour drive from Raleigh, N.C., to Washington with her two children to witness Saturday’s events because she wanted her children to learn about “American history and the fact that there are people who fought and died to give them the opportunity to do whatever they want to do and be whatever they want to be.” Darryl Simmons, 21, made the bus journey to Washington with fellow students from Orangeburg, S.C.’s Claflin University because “I just wanted to relive history.” “We’re not exactly dealing with what happened 50 years ago, but there’s stuff going on and we’re here for justice,” said Simmons, president of Claflin’s Young Democrats. Saturday’s commemoration was a prelude to Wednesday, Aug. 28, the March on Washington’s official anniversary. Another large crowd is expected at the Lincoln Memorial that day as Obama will speak at the spot where King made history 50 years ago. The nation’s first AfricanAmerican president is expected to discuss the progress and problems the nation has faced in pursuit of King’s dream that his children “will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

OPINIONS Illinois revamped by new laws, hot-button issues Gov. Pat Quinn has been pushing for law reform and implementation throughout the state. Illinois has enacted new laws, such as legalizing medical marijuana and allowing a new system for online voter registration. Illinois has also reformed previous laws, such as increasing the maximum speed limit on rural highways and completely banning the use of hand-held cell phones while driving. Other issues such as solving the state’s pension crisis remain unsolved. Nonetheless, Illinois is continuing on its path toward progressiveness and bipartisanship.

More college grads moving back home in recent years 6WXGLHV VKRZ GHFOLQLQJ HFRQRP\ DQG KLJK VWXGHQW ORDQV SXWV ELJ EXUGHQ RQ JUDGXDWHV BY MICHELLE MANCHIR CHICAGO TRIBUNE

David Sugitpibul doesn’t buy frozen yogurt or make a trip for groceries without coming home with a receipt and fi ling the expense on an Excel spreadsheet. The 24-year-old’s meticulous budgeting is essential if he wants to keep up with $750-per-month rent for his Lakeview apartment and $860-per-month student loan payments and avoid moving back in with his parents. “It’s a lot of sacrifice to get what you want,� said Sugitpibul, who earlier this month moved into a two-bedroom unit near Wrigley Field with a roommate. For the previous two years, since his graduation from Indiana University, he had been sleeping in his childhood bedroom in Wilmette for free. A rising share of young adults 18 to 31 are living in their parents’ homes before they launch on their own, according to a study released this month by the Pew Research Center. Many can’t wait to move into their own place. Getting to that point, though, is a unique challenge for today’s young adults, experts say. “The primary reason they live with their parents is economic, and the timing of when (they) do move is also simply economic: When they can afford to do so,� said Jeffrey Arnett, a research professor of psychology at Clark University in Massachusetts and co-author of “When Will My Grown-up Kid Grow Up?� In addition to the recent deep recession and a tepid recovery, the economy’s larger transition from a mainly manufacturing economy to one based mainly on information, technology and services means “it takes longer, that is, more education and training, to find a job,� he said. In 2012, 63 percent of 18- to 31-year-olds had jobs, down from the 70 percent of their same-aged counterparts who had jobs in 2007, according to the Pew study. And a record total of 21.6 million millennials lived in their parents’ home in 2012, up from 18.5 million of their same-aged counterparts in 2007, according to the research center’s analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. For those like Sugitpibul, who works full time as a commissions analyst for a brokerage firm near Rosemont, even having a job soon after graduation did not produce enough capital to cover student loan costs and rent or a mortgage payment. One of the biggest hurdles col-

lege graduates face is the mountain of student loans they carry. It’s not uncommon now for college graduates’ student loan payments to be equal to that of a rent or a mortgage in terms of monthly payments, said Karen Cates, a lecturer at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management who has a Ph.D in social psychology. In her consulting work, Cates said she sometimes has to fight misconceptions among baby boomer-aged employers who may think millennials are lazy or lack ambition by relying on their parents or moving back into their homes. “It’s much more complicated than that,� Cates said. The costs of a college education, among both private and public institutions, have ballooned every year since 1990, from an average of $10,620 per year to $18,133 in 2010, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. And millennials are pursuing college to a greater extent than earlier generations of young adults. Kevin Contorno, 24, knows what those rising prices mean to a bank account. A 2011 graduate from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, Contorno is living at his parents’ Park Ridge home with his twin brother in the bedroom they slept in as grade-schoolers. He has been there since graduation, despite having a full-time job as a clinic coordinator at Rush University Medical Center since shortly after he finished school. Contorno, who will begin graduate school this fall, hopes the extra education will lead to a bigger salary -- and, some time after that, an apartment of his own in Chicago. Still, Contorno knows how much his friends who live in Lincoln Park pay for rent -- upward of $700 a month even with roommates -and he knows if he moved out now, that, coupled with his $400 monthly student loan payment and his cellphone bill, would mean living paycheck to paycheck. For young adults really focused on leaving their parents’ homes, establishing a timeline and sticking to it is key, said Mary Doheny, a psychologist at The Family Institute at Northwestern University who has studied failure-to-launch and parenting issues, and who has also hosted her two adult daughters in her home for a time. Doheny said young people should use the time at home to narrow the search for the right

graduate school, or to save money, even if it’s only wages from a parttime job as the hunt for a full-time gig or a useful internship continues. Make specific goals, and stick to them, she said. Some can do that successfully. While living with his parents, Sugitpibul slowly chipped away at his student loan payments that had the highest interest while saving as much as he could, he said. He worked part time stocking shelves at a craft supply store before he found a full-time job at Telecom Brokerage Inc, he said. He drove away from his parents’ house in early August with about $2,000 in savings and a salary that would cover his bills, he said. For some young adults, the reason to stay at home may be related to marriage -- or a lack thereof. According to the Pew study, millennials today are far less likely to be married than they were years ago. In 2012, 25 percent of millennials were married, down from 30 percent in 2007. In 1968, 56 percent of young adults lived with a spouse in a household separate from their parents. Therefore, “more people rely on mom and dad during their 20s, rather than on a marriage partner,� said Arnett. That’s partially why Maria Kois, 26, said she has been in her parents’ Homer Glen home since graduating from high school eight years ago. Kois, a pharmacy technician, said her big Polish family is happy to have her at home, helping with chores and driving her grandmother to doctor’s appointments. But Kois said she pines for the independence some of her peers have who live in apartments of their own. Saving up money for a security deposit for an apartment on her $17-an-hour job, though, is difficult, she said. When millennials do feel prepared and are able to leave their parents’ home, they take a sense of pride with them, Doheny said. “By and large, they’re running their own lives and making their own decisions at that point. It’s an incredible source of enhanced self-esteem.� Sugitpibul who was baking chicken and tartlets for dinner recently at his new apartment, said he’s still blissful when he gets home from work and realizes “this is my own place.� “Being in your 20s and stuff, it’s the time to make mistakes to really grow and learn and really figure out what you want out of life,� he said.

Fans call for One Direction movie œ7KLV ,V 8V¡ PRYLH VKRZV GLIIHUHQW VLGH RI SRS VWDUV IROORZV VXLW RI SRS GRFXPHQWDU\ BY JOHN ANDERSON CHICAGO TRIBUNE

If all actors want to be directors, maybe all directors want to be rock stars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or make movies about them: Even filmmakers who enjoy their own brand of pop stardom find it impossible to resist when the real thing comes calling. Thus, the release of â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Direction: This Is Us,â&#x20AC;? which marks yet another collaboration between well-regarded moviemaker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in this case, the ubiquitous Morgan Spurlock â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a teen-pop phenom, in this case the London-based, EnglishIrish boy band made up of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, aka the Fab Five. The original Fab Four didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a doc made about them till they were breaking up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let It Be,â&#x20AC;? which starred the Beatles in their post- apocalyptic/ Ono period. But in recent years, especially, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become far more common for pop sensations to become nonfiction fi lm attractions, a la â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katy Perry: Part of Meâ&#x20AC;? (2012), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experienceâ&#x20AC;? (2009), and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concertâ&#x20AC;? (2008) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all made by relatively unknown directors likely to remain so. Not so with â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is Us,â&#x20AC;? whose director arose from obscurity via the anti-Big Mac movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;SuperSize Meâ&#x20AC;? and who, in a Teen Vogue interview about his new film, sounded like he had ingested several jumbo editions of Tiger Beat: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went with each of them to their hometowns and filmed with their families. One of the goals for me was to show an intimate and different side of the boys that you normally wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something different than what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see in a typical interview â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like seeing them in their homes with their families and spending days off just being regular guys. Day to day, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who they are. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just regular folks, like you and me. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ordinary guys who have been put into such an extraordinary situation, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done an incredible job at dealing with that.â&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is Us,â&#x20AC;? which is essentially a 3-D concert film, also will include the requisite up-close-andpersonal interviews and at-home footage.) Nonfiction filmmakers, by defi nition, dwell in a realm renowned for obscurity. Even so, not all documentarians want the attention that comes with the promotion of evanescent pop sensations. When Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning director of â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Inconvenient Truth,â&#x20AC;? was asked to make â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Might Get Loud,â&#x20AC;? with rockers Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White, he happily agreed. And he unhappily recoiled in horror when his name was

connected to the making of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,â&#x20AC;? the 3-D concert film of 2011 (eventually directed by Jon M. Chu of â&#x20AC;&#x153;GI Joe: Retaliationâ&#x20AC;?). But â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never Say Neverâ&#x20AC;? arrived just as Bieberology was entering its presumed endgame, the life span of a teen sensation being essentially five years (if a fan becomes obsessed at say, 10 years old, by 15 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re embarrassed). One Direction burst into the pop consciousness via â&#x20AC;&#x153;The X Factorâ&#x20AC;? in 2010, and so, right now, are at their peak of flavor and freshness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is Usâ&#x20AC;? may be a purely commercial enterprise, but the connection between film and pop often has resulted from a labor of love, not including all the bad Elvis movies. Martin Scorsese, whose fiction films have made brilliant use of rock songs (think of the opening of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mean Streetsâ&#x20AC;? or the ending of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goodfellasâ&#x20AC;?), has made a handful of documentaries, almost all about music he was emotionally attached to (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Waltz,â&#x20AC;? 1978; â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Direction Home: Bob Dylan,â&#x20AC;? 2005; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shine a Light,â&#x20AC;? 2008; â&#x20AC;&#x153;George Harrison: Living in the Material World,â&#x20AC;? 2011). Jonathan Demme has made three documentaries just about Neil Young (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heart of Gold,â&#x20AC;? 2006; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trunk Show,â&#x20AC;? 2009; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journeys,â&#x20AC;? 2011). Young also has been adapted into a movie by Jim Jarmusch (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Year of the Horse,â&#x20AC;? 1997). The Rolling Stones have attracted, in addition to Scorsese, the documentary attention of Robert Frank, JeanLuc Godard and the Maysles brothers (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gimme Shelterâ&#x20AC;?). These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the pseudo docs-that-rock (â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is Spinal Tap,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rutlesâ&#x20AC;?) or the movies about music (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost Famous,â&#x20AC;? or even OutKastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idlewildâ&#x20AC;?), or flat-out exercises in pop insanity like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Head,â&#x20AC;? the landmark exercise in psychedelia by The (who-would-have-expected-it) Monkees; or the movies in which real people play characters close enough to themselves that they might as well be documentaries (the likes of which range from The Beatles in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Hard Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nightâ&#x20AC;? to Eminem in â&#x20AC;&#x153;8 Mileâ&#x20AC;?). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re movies that attempt to capture an artist in something approximating reality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but usually not without a filter of fandom. Such has been evident in the aforementioned work of Scorsese and Demme, which concern veteran artists with long careers and catalogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Is Us,â&#x20AC;? on the other hand, is about a band with almost no history, no assurance of longterm popularity, but with a fan base fervent enough to demand that their idolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moment be captured right now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that was neither technically possible, nor commercially feasible in years gone by, but which now can be done, almost before the concert lights cool down.

Urbana Sweetcorn Festival draws huge crowds to town

Sweetcorn, specialty food, merchandise, Motor Muster Car Show and music bring close to 50,000 people to Urbana Walker can handle it,â&#x20AC;? Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows no mistakes. So when I draw your picture, and it looks like you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a perfect picture.â&#x20AC;? Walker will have a booth at the Market Place Mall this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been all over the United States. I get to meet people and create their identity.

Soccer downs Louisville 5-4 in overtime BY LANRE ALABI STAFF WRITER

What started out as any other game day for the Illinois soccer team turned into an incredible test of character. After losing 4-1 to Notre Dame on Friday, Illinois fell behind to Louisville â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a team they had never lost to in school history. Facing the stench of a disappointing opening weekend, the Illini battled back to win a nailbiter by a score of 5-4 i n overtime at the Cardinal Park Stadium in Louisville, Ky., showing the fighting spirit head coach Janet Rayfield alluded to before the season began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scoreline pretty much tells the story,â&#x20AC;? Rayfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, we did some of the things we wanted to do today. Today and the weekend overall, I think we have to shore up some things defensively. We gave up a few goals easily, so we have to go back and look at that.â&#x20AC;? The Illini struck early, with a goal 13 minutes in from junior forward Jannelle Flaws. The lead was immediately erased as Louisville pulled back just one minute later to even the score. After a spell of dominance from the hosting Cardinals, forward Charlyn Corral added to her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tally. Illinois freshman goalie Claire Wheatley had pulled off two stops but was unable to prevent Corral from tapping in her own rebound in the 25th minute. The score remained at 2-1 until halftime. Illinois emerged for the second half with more attacking intensity. Their tenacity was rewarded in the 50th minute when sophomore forward Nicole Breece capped a flowing move by the Illini on a breakaway. The celebration was again shortlived, as a Corral penalty kick gave Louisville back the lead in the 51st minute. The Illini remained undeterred and continued attacking until they found the back of the net through senior midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo in the 55th minute. Illinois regained the lead they had held for just one minute earlier in the game on a corner kick that appeared to sail right in the goal. The goal was initially awarded to the set-

piece taker DiBernardo, but with closer inspection, it was rightfully given to sophomore midfielder Anastasia Medellin, who got a flick on it. Even with a goal and an assist to her name, DiBernardo was unsatisfied with her performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a team, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a lot better,â&#x20AC;? DiBernardo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning from our mistakes in games and making changes. I could have done a little bit better today. I gave up balls and possession which I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally do. I think I have room for improvement as well as our team.â&#x20AC;? This time, Illinois was able to hold on to this lead for longer than a minute. The game remained evenly matched in every sense except for the goals tally. This was until the 88th minute, when Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; substitute forward Christine Exeter pulled her team back on level terms. The score remained tied and the game went into overtime, which lasted just eight and a half minutes. Freshman midfielder Meegan Johnston, who had come on as a 30th minute substitute for Flaws, found the back of the net from another Illinois breakaway. The weekend highlighted some defensive issues for Illinois. The starting keeper position was a battle until the first game. While conceding eight goals is a red flag, it is for a reason different from what you might think. Coach Rayfield doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want just one player made the scapegoat in this situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to look at our team as a whole, not just the goalkeeper,â&#x20AC;? Rayfield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can look at some of the saves she made, and she made some world-class saves in terms of college goalkeeping. It was a rough experience for her, her first weekend in goal, but I think it was a rough weekend for us defensively as a team. Does this put the (goalkeeper) race back into question? I think it puts our defensive team into question a little bit, and that is certainly something we will try to solve this week.â&#x20AC;?

Illini volleyball defeats alumnae team Youth of current Illini overcomes experience of former teammates

The Illini had one more test before the start of the volleyball season: Beat their former teammates. Illinois was able to do just that, starting the year with the annual Alumni Game on Saturday night at Huff Hall. It took a while for Illinois to get going, but the Illini eventually beat the alumni in three sets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we started out very tentative, very nervous,â&#x20AC;? head coach Kevin Hambly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen that the whole preseason, but I expect that given the fans at Huff.

Football needs to establish the run game in Week 1

BY SEAN HAMMOND

Saturday is game day for Illinois football, and no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more excited than Reilly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole. Illinois released a spoof of the popular Geico â&#x20AC;&#x153;hump dayâ&#x20AC;? commercial Friday morning, starring the Illiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backup quarterback. In the video, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole imitates the camel that became so popular after the commercialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release this summer, walking around the Illinois football facilities in his blue No. 4 jersey interrupting coaches at their desks to ask what day it is. Eventually, tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Alex Golesh mutters, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game day, Reilly.â&#x20AC;? At which point Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole breaks into whoops and hollers. The 49-second video costars offensive coordinator Bill Cubit with a superb roll of the eyes. At one point Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole bursts into head coach Tim Beckmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beck-BeckBeck-Beck-Beck-Beck-Beck. Guess what day it is?â&#x20AC;? similar to how the camel calls for Mike at his cubicle in the commercial. With training camp finally at its end, it was an amusing way for the Illini to have a little fun before heading into its first game week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with these kids for like 18 hours a day (during camp) sometimes,â&#x20AC;? Cubit said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have a little fun every once in a while.â&#x20AC;? The video was the creation of graduate assistant Nubis Padhye. After seeing the commercial so often during the summer, Padhye came up with a plan to make his own spoof of it. Qua r terback Natha n Scheelhaase directed Padhye to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole, who Scheelhaase thought would be a good candidate for the role. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole agreed and on Thursday they filmed the video an hour before an afternoon meeting.

flow for us, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at our best,â&#x20AC;? senior libero Jennifer Beltran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big thing for us.â&#x20AC;? Johnson said she hopes to give the Illini tips on how she did things while she was on the team this season, as she will stay on as a student assistant coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome having the alumnae come back, especially E.J., since sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working with us this preseason and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be with us this season,â&#x20AC;? Beltran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great for the freshmen who are just getting here because she can give them other pointers that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experienced yet.â&#x20AC;? The freshmen will get another chance to prove themselves this weekend against Florida State, Kentucky and Long Beach State in the Long Beach State Mizuno Invitational.

llinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first drive of the season in 2012 ended with a 64-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Lankford, and it was the biggest lie Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been told. Sitting in the north end zone I was among the faithful of Illini Pride to which I did not belong, and the view was breathtaking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; faith affirmed, excitement abound, the glorious Dawn of a New Era. This was to be the Illinois football team: highpowered offense with a defense that was supposed to be even better. Oh, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and offensive plays of that caliber didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen for the rest of the year. Mostly because teams stopped completely blowing coverage, as Western Michigan had. Even in a 44-0 rout of FBS try-hard Charleston Southern, the longest touchdown Illinois notched was from 28 yards out, which would be the closest the Illini offense came to matching the opening heave. With the removal of the Gonzales-Beatty regime and subsequent recruitment of new offensive coordinator Bill Cubit, a change in the offense is anticipated. And welcomed. But with wide receiver a continuing question mark for an Illinois team whose leading receiver last season notched just 469 yards and no one on the team had 40 catches, you have to proceed with caution in the passing game. A winning football team may pass first to get ahead, then run as the game winds down to make a comeback more difficult. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a logical truth that this strategy is successful. But in Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; situation, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to win this weekend and find great challenge in the subsequent 11 weeks, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperative to

establish a run presence, and flow while you have the upper hand. Donovonn Young has been looked to since his freshman season as a potential playmaker for the Orange and Blue, and yet last year he found himself devoid of carries, regressing from a young athlete with upside to a cog in a platoon with then-freshmen Dami Ayoola and Josh Ferguson. On a team where neither a single player nor the collective sum of the run game was able to establish itself in an effective capacity, the Illini were outrushed by nearly 800 yards over the season. Young and Ferguson mostly floundered and rarely flourished with no level of consistency, and Ayoola contributed little. This year, everyone from the platoon is a year older, and diminutive Peoria Richwoods product Kendrick Foster comes in with hopes of seeing the field. Listed at 5-foot-9 on Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roster, Foster was passed over by other programs because of his stature. And while he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have Sprolesian speed, he does things you want your running back to do with the ball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; finds holes quickly, runs around people when he can, runs at people when he has to. With four backs, consisting of a freshman, two sophomores and a junior, it seems Young will get first dibs on bearing the brunt of the workload. Young proved he can catch passes out of the backfield, as he led the team with 38 receptions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a valuable option to have, but having that many checkdown throws could be a sign of a quarterback lacking in confidence. Natha n Scheel haaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helped by the constant insertion of Reilly Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Toole into games. The addition of highly touted freshman Aaron Bailey replaces â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then some â&#x20AC;&#x201D; any pressure removed from Miles Osei switching to wide

Questions linger for O’Brien, Penn State Nittany Lions trying to build on 8-win season BY JOE JULIANO MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

MIKE MUNDEN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

Ohio State’s Ryan Shazier chases down Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner on Nov. 24, in Columbus, Ohio. The Buckeyes held Gardner to 171 yards passing and one touchdown en route to a 26-21 victory.

Gardner key if Michigan wants conference title BY VAUGHN MCCLURE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

This is Devin Gardner’s team. Michigan’s 6-foot-4, 210-pound junior quarterback has made that clear with the manner in which he confidently answers inquiries about settling in as the unquestioned starter. Last year, the converted wide receiver was recognized more as Denard Robinson’s replacement after Robinson suffered an arm injury. Then Gardner’s remarkable success in the final five games left some in awe about his potential. He finished the season completing 75 of 126 passes for 1,219 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. “I’ve just become a great leader, I feel like,” Gardner said. “I’m able to help my teammates; help the young guys come along. “Guys who are so highly recruited and don’t get a chance to play right away, I can help them so much because that was me. I was

that kid. I was highly recruited, hometown guy, and didn’t get a chance to play until I was a junior. I can bestow some of that wisdom on those guys.” The Detroit product’s arm could help the Wolverines achieve a goal they haven’t accomplished since 2004, when they shared the Big Ten title with Iowa. Michigan returns 12 starters, including All-American left tackle Taylor Lewan, receiver Jeremy Gallon, and tight end Devin Funchess. Gardner, however, is the one coach Brady Hoke might have to lean on the most in a pro-style offense. “I think Devin — his maturity and understanding what is it to be the quarterback at Michigan — I think he has absorbed that,” Hoke said. “(He) understands the decisions that we have to make as a football team and the decisions that he makes as a quarterback. They’re going to be very important.”

Gardner is capable of getting the ball down the field, something the Wolverines struggled to do with Robinson running the offense. At the same time, Gardner hasn’t forgotten how playing behind Robinson helped him, personally. Robinson is now a rookie with the NFL Jaguars. “Denard, the way he led and the way he worked, that was great for me,” Gardner said. Michigan already has to overcome a couple of setbacks with starting receiver Amara Darboh out for the season with a foot injury and All-Big Ten punter Will Hagerup suspended the entire year for disciplinary reasons. Regardless of those challenges, Hoke is optimistic about how this team will jell. “I like the leadership from the seniors; I like how the competition at various spots has been very good and that’s what we need to have if we want to be a championship team,” he said.

Suggest to Bill O’Brien that he’s the face of Penn State — not just the football program, but the entire university — and his face contorts as if he had taken a bite of a ripe lemon. “I’m just a football coach,” O’Brien said. “I do believe in Penn State and what we try to do academically, athletically. I think I’m a good fit for Penn State as the football coach, but I don’t view myself as the face of the university.” It’s safe to say that O’Brien’s rookie season of 2012 was far different than any other majorcollege head coach had ever experienced. The Jerry Sandusky scandal, the death of Joe Paterno and what he did or didn’t know about Sandusky, crippling NCAA sanctions, the threat of dozens of players transferring out, and people giving up on the football team after an 0-2 start maybe should have sent O’Brien back to the comfort of his native New England. But O’Brien persevered in a way that drew national praise for a program that had been blasted for months. Aided by a devoted group of seniors, he kept the team together. He urged his players not to feel sorry for themselves. He recommended that fans and the Penn State community look ahead and unite. And he showed, in his first year ever as a head coach, that he could do the job. The Nittany Lions won eight of their last 10 games to finish 8-4. Their season-ending overtime win over Wisconsin, which would later play in its third straight Rose Bowl, was one of the most dramatic games in the history of Beaver Stadium and sent the Lions and their fans into the offseason on a cheerful note. The seniors are gone, including the inspirational Michael Mauti and record-setting quarterback Matt McGloin. Now the 43-year-old head coach builds another team with another group

of worthy senior leaders but questions at quarterback, where the starter for Saturday’s season opener against Syracuse will be taking his first snap in a majorcollege game. Less than a year after winning a plethora of coach of the year awards, O’Brien said he’ll do a better job this season, and that both the offense and defense will be different than what was seen in 2012. “I know the players a lot better,” he said. “I learned a lot about organization and how important it is to just basically state your philosophy, your goals, just about every day or every time you have a staff meeting. I’ve learned to communicate better, too.” The biggest decision of the preseason has yet to be made. Sophomore Tyler Ferguson and true freshman Christian Hackenberg have been battling throughout camp for the right to be Saturday’s starting quarterback. Ferguson has the benefit of a year in junior college and a full spring practice with Penn State, while Hackenberg has learned quickly since arriving on campus in June. O’Brien has called the pair “the two best young quarterbacks I’ve ever coached” and indicated the reason that he’s taken so long to choose one is because “I want to keep getting these guys a lot of reps and make sure that they see a lot of different looks and get to throw the ball to all the different receivers equally.” Whoever gets the job will have no shortage of support. The Nittany Lions’ skill players are led by junior Allen Robinson, the Big Ten’s only 1,000-yard wide receiver last year, and junior Zach Zwinak, who rushed for 1,000 yards. The offensive line is a veteran unit led by all-Big Ten guard John Urschel, one of the senior leaders. “It comes with getting a little older, getting a little more experience, being more comfortable in your role as a player,” said Urschel, a 4.0-gradepoint-average student who will study for a second master’s degree this year. “That’s a role I’ve embraced, and I’ll do all I

can to help my football team, whatever that may be.” The Lions also have four tight ends who will be in a variety of formations designed by O’Brien, plays culled from his years as offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots. The position is led by all-Big Ten performer Kyle Carter. The Penn State defense will see some new looks under John Butler, a La Salle High School product who will serve as a major-college defensive coordinator for the first time. Because of depth issues at linebacker, there may be some packages where a safety moves into a linebacker position. “He’s done an excellent job,” O’Brien said. “He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever been around. He’s tough. He’s a great communicator. The kids really respect him. We have a competitive practice because he and I are competitive people.” The Lions seem to have one of everything in the front seven — a fine pass rusher in end Deion Barnes (Northeast High), a tough run-stopper in 318-pound tackle DaQuan Jones, a fierce hitter in middle linebacker Glenn Carson, and a quick sideline-to-sideline talent in outside linebacker Mike Hull. O’Brien and Butler beefed up the secondary by moving two wide receivers over to the defensive backfield. One of them, Trevor Williams, should start at the corner. Penn State also is deep at safety, led by versatile junior Adrian Amos. Junior Sam Ficken, who got off to a horrendous start last season, takes a streak of 10 successful field-goal attempts into 2013. The Nittany Lions ranked at or near the bottom of the Big Ten in many punt and kickoff categories, and O’Brien promises improvement in those areas. The Nittany Lions have four opponents that are considered Big Ten title contenders. Two are at Beaver Stadium (Michigan, Nebraska), and two are away (Ohio State, Wisconsin). There is some consensus that they can match their 2012 total of eight wins, but they have to stay relatively free of injury, and one quarterback must step up.

Freshman year could be a difficult act to follow for Manziel Off-field issues surround Heisman-winner BY KATE HAIROPOULOS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Johnny Manziel spent the final Saturday before the start of the 2013 season — wait for it — signing autographs. Not long ago, it would have been an innocuous 90 minutes, an annual routine at the on-campus Meet the Aggies event. Sharpie and grin at the ready, the Texas A& M quarterback accommodated an estimated 500 giddy, maroon-drenched fans who made the cut-off — free of charge, school-issued autograph blanks only. Not far away, fans could pose with his Heisman Trophy, proof for all the skeptics that A&M and Manziel clobbered in their debut SEC season a year ago. But it’s Chapter 2 that has caused the angst. Manziel’s eligibility is in question, heightening what may be unprecedented scrutiny on a returning Heisman winner. Manziel is under NCAA and A&M investigation for allegedly selling autographs. With the season opener against Rice days away, Aggieland awaits the official OK that Manziel will be playing his catch-me-if-youcan football this fall. A&M system chancellor John Sharp has declared to reporters, “I know he’s innocent,” though he also said he didn’t ask Manziel directly. Manziel hasn’t been available to the media, but he did meet the public Saturday. Many wore No. 2 gear and recorded exchanges with Manziel on iPhones:

“All we need is to beat Bama.” “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.” “I love you no matter what people say about you.” The irony of the autograph signings was obvious — or maybe it was the handful of media recording and live-tweeting about it that drove it home. As he chased winning the Heisman as a redshirt freshman on Dec. 8 with an off-season that screamed, “You only live once!” Manziel became polarizing, analyzed relentlessly. His fame, thanks in part to its viral nature, has transcended that of celebrated Heisman winners such as Southern Cal’s Matt Leinart and Florida’s Tim Tebow. Manziel is the 13th player to return to college after winning the Heisman. Ohio State’s Archie Griffin is the only repeat winner, in 1974 and 1975. “Leinart and Tebow were both rock stars by the time they came back,” said Chris Huston, publisher of HeismanPundit.com. Manziel is “potentially bigger because you have a combination of not only SEC popularity but also Texas football combined. Then you have his unique style ... and he’s the guy that hasn’t conformed to the expectations for how people think you’re supposed to act.”

Staubach’s perspective Count Roger Staubach as one who thought — at first — that might mean trouble on the field for Manziel. Staubach, the Navy and Dallas Cowboys great who won the Heisman as a junior in 1963, noted reports of Manziel attending NBA games courtside and enjoying his Heisman celebrity before the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic against Oklahoma in January.

“I figured he’d have a rough bowl game,” said Staubach, who met Manziel at a Cowboys game last season. “But man, he was phenomenal.” The hype around Manziel is bigger than when Staubach returned for his senior season in 1964 after winning the Heisman, Staubach said, though it was still a big deal 50 years ago. Staubach injured his ankle in the season opener against Penn State, essentially ending his chance to repeat. Staubach, who voted for Manziel in 2012, said it wasn’t his place to give Manziel offfield advice. But he said as long as Manziel’s work ethic remains high and he isn’t suspended, “he’s one of those players that ... can deal with the pressure and also enjoy life.” A&M’s support of Manziel’s ability to do both has come under scrutiny because of complaints made by Manziel’s father in a magazine story and now by autograph-gate. Athletic director Eric Hyman has maintained that A&M had to let Johnny be Johnny while the school built a support system. “We don’t put him under lock and key,” Hyman said. “Life is full of experiences, and successful people learn from them.” Hyman talked with Archie Griffin, who said Manziel has to “learn to say no.” Florida officials relayed how they handled the Tebow craze — such as when Tebow had trouble getting to class because of fans, Hyman said, as Manziel has. Manziel took online classes the first semester of 2013. On campus this fall? “He is who he is,” Hyman said, “but I would hope everybody would be respectful.” Hyman said that, as with anything in his business, A&M

will evaluate how it supports Manziel. “If someone were to call us in the future, we would obviously impart some of the things we’ve learned,” he said. “There’s no blueprint.” Manziel’s situation is different in part because of social media. In the days before the autograph scorcher, Manziel attended fraternity parties at the University of Texas. He was kicked out of one and wore a Tebow Jets jersey to another. The (fascinating?) details were spread first by onsite witnesses taking videos and photos. Even Manziel’s late-night visits to Taco Bell are noted on Twitter. Manziel had been an active participant, until the investigation.

Social media’s role The signing-for-pay charges have led to even more examination of Manziel’s family and inner circle. If Leinart and Tebow experienced similar fame as Manziel, Huston pointed out, social media weren’t nearly as intense. Leinart won in 2004, Tebow in 2007. Manziel’s Heisman chances in 2013 have plummeted, according to betting odds. Huston said an NCAA cloud wouldn’t necessarily ruin Manziel’s chances; Cam Newton won in 2010 under scrutiny that became public late in the season. No. 7 A&M and Manziel want to top the 11-2 run of 2012, in which Manziel totaled 5,116 yards, the most by a Heisman winner. But the odds were already against Manziel. Griffin is the lone repeat winner. Manziel fatigue could set in, and it’s rare everything sets up perfectly, as it did last year, Huston said. “When people vote for

SCOTT TERNA MCT

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel poses with the Heisman Trophy after winning the award in New York City on Dec. 8. someone twice, they weigh it more skeptically because you’re basically saying you might be the best college player of all,” Huston said. “Are people willing to wade into that rarefied air? They make the burden of proof that much higher.” That sums up Manziel’s followup season. If he plays, he’ll be

loved and hated, but he can’t make everybody happy. Those left in the autograph line after 3 p.m. didn’t get what they came for Saturday. But one pre-teen boy hollered at Manziel, asking for his A&M visor. Manziel took it off and flung it to the kid, who celebrated like it was worth a million bucks.

White House welcomes undefeated ‘72 Dolphins

FROM B1

SILL receiver. The best way to get Scheelhaase in a place of confidence, along with the inherent senior-swagger boost he’ll receive, is to let him lead a successful offense facilitated by the run game. Instill confidence in Young by giving him carry after carry, spelling him occasionally but not flirting with flipping the depth chart — at least not yet. Let the run game get established against Southern Illinois, then bring the passing game out of its shell as the game goes on. Conventional wisdom may tell you to pass first, run later. Conventional wisdom may suggest that if offered a 64-yard touchdown to begin your season, you take it. But let’s start this season different from last year — with some honesty. And if Illinois is being honest with itself, it realizes its offense has a long way to go. And in making that high climb, the best option is to go from the ground up.

MICHAEL BOJDA THE DAILY ILLINI

Ryan Lankford scores a touchdown against Western Michigan on Sept. 1. Illinois won its 2012 season opener 24-7. Sports editor Eliot Sill says the team needs to establish a running game to have success this season.

Ken Griffey Jr.’s son, Trey, set to debut for Arizona football BY ADAM JUDE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

As the story goes, Trey Griffey had a contract offer from the Seattle Mariners — post-dated for 2012 — not long after he was born in 1994. Nineteen years later, The Kid’s kid is instead an up-and-coming wide receiver on an up-andcoming Pac-12 Conference team. “I still have a lot to improve on,” Trey Griffey said in a phone interview from Tucson, Ariz., where he’s a redshirt freshman in Rich Rodriguez’s Arizona offense. “I just want to be somebody who fits in here. And when I have a chance to make a play, I want to make the play.” Griffey, listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, was a three-star recruit out of Orlando, Fla., after catching 73 passes for 970 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games as a senior at Dr. Phillips High School. He played in the 2012 Under Armor All-American game and soon after chose to sign with Arizona, spurning offers from Washington State, Michigan State and Iowa State,

3B

among others. The Griffey family’s ties to Arizona were strengthened when Trey’s younger sister — and daughter of Ken Jr. and Melissa — committed to play basketball at Arizona earlier this summer. Taryn Griffey is ranked as the nation’s No. 45 women’s basketball recruit by ESPN for the Class of 2014. “It’ll be great to see my little sister every day,” Griffey said. Griffey didn’t get to see his dad’s introduction into the Mariners’ Hall of Fame two weeks ago. The Wildcats had a scrimmage right about the same time. But Griffey taped a message that played at Safeco Field during his dad’s ceremony. It brought Junior to tears. “My mom told me about that,” Trey Griffey said. “And I talked to him afterward.” It remains to be seen whether Griffey will have the chance to contribute for the Wildcats this season, but he said he is making strides in his second year in Rodriguez’s up-tempo offense. “Everything is starting to slow

down,” Trey Griffey said. “In my first year, there was a little shock at the speed jump from high school. ... I’m definitely getting better at understanding the plays and recognizing defenses.” Arizona receivers coach Tony Dews told the Tucson Citizen that Griffey is “coming along.” “He’s not making very many mental errors anymore,” Dews said. “He’s doing a really good job, assignment-wise. His hands have continued to develop, although he already had good ball skills coming in. “You continue to see signs that, man, we’ve got a guy who can catch the ball no matter where you throw it.” The biggest mystery for the Wildcats is which quarterback will be throwing the ball to the receivers this season. Senior B.J. Denker, a lefty, is the front-runner; he’s the only quarterback with experience — albeit limited — in Rodriguez’s system. He started in place of the departed Matt Scott against Colorado last season, completing

25 of 37 passes for 259 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. The other quarterback candidate is Jesse Scroggins, a junior-college transfer who originally signed with USC. “We might not decide until the season,” Rodriguez told reporters earlier this week. Whoever the quarterback is, he will have the luxury of throwing to the nation’s top running back, Ka’Deem Carey, whose 1,929 yards and 23 touchdowns carried the Wildcats to an 8-5 finish in Rodriguez’s first season. That included a thrilling 49-48 victory over Nevada in the New Mexico Bowl. On defense, Arizona was last in the Pac-12 — yes, even worse than Colorado — in allowing 499 yards per game last season. Rodriguez is confident the defense will improve. “Our guys never quit,” he said. “They battled through tough times defensively and we knew we were hanging on a little bit. I like what we do defensively and I like the players coming back.”

WASHINGTON — President Richard Nixon didn’t have them by the White House when they went undefeated in 1972, but the Miami Dolphins got their due Tuesday. The 1972 Dolphins, who defeated the Washington Redskins to win Super Bowl VII, remain the only NFL team with an undefeated season. Nearly every living member of the team made the trip to the White House, including 83-yearold coach Don Shula. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered to pay for travel for any member who wanted to go. Thirty-one players attended the ceremony, along with Shula, assistant coach Howard Schnellenberger and trainer Robert Lundy. President Barack Obama said he was honoring the 1972 team because they are “all men of accomplishment and character, and it showed on the field and off the field as well.” The president joked that if he could invite the Green Bay Packers, a rival to his Chicago Bears, to the White House after their 2011 Super Bowl victory, the Dolphins were certainly welcome after 40 years. “These Dolphins made history back before Super Bowl champs started visiting the White House,” he said. “Let’s face it, this is also

just a fun thing to do. I like doing it as president.” It wasn’t a common practice in the 1970s to invite championship teams to the White House, although Nixon might have been unusually distracted during the Dolphins’ historic game on Jan, 14, 1973. Although Nixon had just been re-elected, former aides G. Gordon Liddy and James W. McCord Jr. were about to be convicted of conspiracy, burglary and wiretapping in connection with the break-in at the Democratic Party national headquarters at Washington’s Watergate hotel. Nixon’s presidency, it turned out, was doomed. Championship teams are frequently invited now. Obama, known to decompress with ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” even shot hoops in 2009 with the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team when it visited the White House to celebrate its NCAA championship. Obama sheepishly admitted to the Dolphins that he already had invited another team that got neglected: the 1985 Chicago Bears. The team’s victory trip to the White House had been postponed by the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. Shula reminded the president that the Dolphins were the only team to defeat the president’s beloved Bears that season. “We beat ‘em!” shouted one of the people attending the ceremony.
