UK’s Randall Cobb managed a football hattrick in the Cats’ home opener on Saturday.
Cobb, a junior wide receiver, caught a passfor a touchdown, returned a punt for a touch-down and threw for a touchdown helping UK(2-0) to a 63-28 win over Western Kentucky(0-2), which extended its losing streak to 22games, currently the longest in the nation.
“There’s a lot of things that Randall Cobbdoes for this football team,” UK head coachJoker Phillips said. “And he does a lot ofthings that you guys don’t see also, things inthe locker room that mean the most to thisfootball team … he’s the guy that gets up. He’sa different person on gameday.”
The trio of touchdowns by Cobb was justone part of UK’s dominant offensive perform-ance, which included 206 rushing yards and276 passing yards against its in-state rival.
“We feel like we can throw the ball downthe field as well as we’ve been running the ballthe past couple of years,” said Phillips, whobecame the first UK head coach to start 2-0 inhis debut season since Paul “Bear” Bryantwent 3-0 in 1946 at the helm of UK. “Now,we’ve got a chance to just read the numbers. Ifthe numbers say throw it, we throw it, and ifthe numbers say run it, we can just run it be-cause of the way we’re throwing the ball rightnow.”
In addition to Cobb’s do-it-all perform-ance, senior quarterback Mike Hartline cameout with his second straight consistent game.He completed 80 percent of his passes for 213yards and three touchdowns.
“That’s the confidence (Hartline) has in(his receivers) to make those plays, throw theball down the field and trust that we can go upand make a play for him,” Cobb said of Hart-line, whose three touchdown passes were tothree different receivers (Cobb, senior ChrisMatthews and sophomore La’Rod King).
Hartline returned the praise to Cobb, whohe said made his job easier.
“When you have a guy that versatile andhe can make plays like that, you just don’tknow what he’s going to do,” Hartline said.
Despite the impressive offensive numbers,the Cats got off to a rocky start with WKUscoring a touchdown on its first drive of thegame, a 59-yard run down the sideline by jun-ior tailback Bobby Rainey, who finished with agame-high 187 yards. Following the openingtouchdown, UK responded with 35 unan-swered points.
A WKU kickoff-return for a touchdown for90 yards late in the first half was followed by aUK touchdown with 11 seconds left in the sec-ond quarter to push the Cats’ lead to 42-14.
Even with the game seemingly well inhand at halftime, Phillips said his team did amuch better job of finishing strong. Comparedto last week’s game against Louisville, Phillipsalso said he was pleased his team stayed out of

The Board of Trustees willconsider a proposed raise foroutgoing UK President Lee ToddTuesday.
The board’s executive com-mittee recommended an increaseof $157,046 to Todd’s base salaryThursday. Todd, who announced
Wednesday his intention to retireon June 30, 2011, currently re-ceives a base salary of $304,000.Todd also receives $50,000 forserving on research and academicboards, so the raise would bringhis salary to $511,046, said UKspokeswoman Kathy Johnson.
The raise would apply to thecurrent fiscal year and the fiscal
year that ended June 30.The committee also pro-
posed giving Todd an annualbonus of up to $50,000 based onperformance, Johnson said.
The proposal to boost Todd'ssalary came after the committeereviewed his evaluation. He re-ceived a 96 percent positive rat-ing.
According to his contract,Todd would have been eligible toreceive a $200,000 performancebonus. In previous years, Toddrejected bonuses because ofUK’s budget woes.

TaxiCats, a discounted taxiservice for students, has beentemporarily discontinued, ac-cording to a Friday news release.
According to the release,All American Taxi, the vendorthat provided the service, wasrecently sold. This caused thetemporary suspension of theprogram. UK Parking andTransportation Services is talk-ing with local taxi companies tocontinue the TaxiCats program.
Founded in 2006, TaxiCatswas created when the Divisionof Student Affairs and StudentGovernment collaborated withthe Genesis Project. Genesis isa UK student organization that
works with a coalition of 42national and international fra-ternities and sororities dedicat-ed to finding solutions to theproblem of binge drinkingamong college students. In2006, the coalition chose UKand DePauw University to par-ticipate in a pilot program thatworks with student leaders andadministrators to develop andexecute a long-term program tochange student alcohol culture.
According to a Sept. 13,2009, Kernel article, TaxiCatswas available anytime and al-lowed students to travel withinthe boundaries of ChevyChase, Broadway, Greg PageApartments and Main Streetfor $2 per person.

In what has to be thegreatest legal precedent setever, a judge on Wednesdayfined Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi$500, ordering her to performcommunity service after shepleaded guilty to annoyingpeople on a New Jerseybeach in July.
Why stop there, I thought.She should be fined in perpe-tuity. As far as communityservice goes, the only serviceSnooki could do to any com-munity is to stay away fromit. Snooki is, of course, a starof MTV's historical low-point"Jersey Shore."
They stuck a bunch offake, stereotype-flinging, Ital-ian, hormonal twentysome-things in a house together,backed up the BevMo! truck,fired up the hot tub, forbadethe men from wearing shirtsand the women to say wholesentences that don't include"Ohmoigod" and threebleeped-out words, and gavethem enough money to ram-page through local seasidebars like Vikings.
They fight, they cry, theyfornicate ... sometimes all atonce. Very seriously, I can'tthink of a lower point forAmerican pop culture. It's acelebration of stupidity thatsaddens those of us who re-member what the "M" inMTV used to stand for (be-fore they changed it to "mo-ronic").
A few weeks ago, mywife, who understands theseshows are stupid but nonethe-less has a frightening addic-tion to them, gleefully an-nounced it was time for "Jer-sey Shore." Normally, when
she gleefully announces it'stime to watch a reality show, Iget pretty gleeful myself,knowing we're going to watchsomething that either involvesmen pulling animals out ofdangerous bodies of water("The Deadliest Catch,") ormore female fashion babblethan any man should be legal-ly allowed to enjoy.
What really troubles meare the kids who watch "Jer-sey Shore" and think living alife bereft of work, reflection,sound decision-making andgoing 45 seconds without ac-cusing someone of cheatingon them is natural. Duringcollege, I had to work hardfor every moment I got in ahot tub. The problem with"Jersey Shore" is that thecharacters aren't even funnyparodies of human beings.They're selfish, overly dra-matic, drunk, uber-promiscu-ous people who can't possibly
spend that much time in tan-ning beds.
These people don't knowthat they're parodies, whichtakes all the fun out of it. Myoldest girl, who's now in col-lege, once said to me shewanted to be a singer. Well,fine. Why not? Then she said-she was going to have to startdressing skimpier, becausethat's what Mariah Careydoes. My chest pains contin-ued until about six monthsago. Thankfully, she nowspends too much time worry-ing about classes. Meanwhile,I have three other girls whoall watch TV. And, unfortu-nately, I can't depend on ajudge convicting all the idiotson television of being annoy-ing. It's up to us adults tocarefully guide our kidsthrough the airwaves of stu-pidity.

Before most likely col-lapsing from exhaustion,Wildcat did his final one-armed push-ups in front of asmall fraction of the originalhometown crowd Saturday.
It was, frankly, quite sad.Any mathematics profes-
sor on campus would have afield day searching for thedirect correlation betweenthe number of points scoredby UK and the number offans that leave a footballgame early.
With each touchdown,the Cats tacked on in the sec-ond half of the Western Ken-tucky game, thousands moreblue-clad fans filed out of
Commonwealth Stadium, butwhy?
The philosophy is flawed.Fans can come eight hoursearly to do nothing in partic-ular, but they cannot staythrough the final tick of theclock. I don’t understand it.
“Fanhood” must be aloosely used term when at-tached to UK football. It cer-tainly is not the same kind ofimage found at Florida, OhioState or even Tennessee,
among most other schools. Itis embarrassing to the UKprogram.
UK simply has one of theworst student sections in theSoutheastern Conference (inall sports, but especially foot-ball). You can shell out the$35 for tickets, wear theshirts and clap sporadicallybecause your friends do, butshowing true support when

COLUMBUS, Ohio —For 80 yards, Cameron Hey-ward looked like a chip offthe old iron, picking upblocks, changing directionsand running as fast as 288pounds can go.
He looked like his dad,former NFL running backCraig "Ironhead" Heyward,only Cameron's interceptionreturn Saturday was 80 yards.Ironhead's longest run in theNFL was 73 yards.
He looked like JamesHarrison, the PittsburghSteelers linebacker who re-turned an interception 100yards for a touchdown twoyears ago, only Heywardweighs about 45 pounds moreand Harrison's came in theSuper Bowl.
The way they're playing,the Buckeyes just might beheaded to college football'ssuper bowl game in Arizonaon Jan. 10. Saturday's 36-24win over Miami earned theBuckeyes credibility, andthat's far more valuable than avictory.
The Ohio State teams thatcouldn't beat Florida, LSU,Texas or USC have been re-
placed by a new version thatis now 2-for-2 in big games.Saturday's win was an encoreto the Rose Bowl victory overOregon and came against aMiami Hurricanes team des-perate to strut and swaggerand prove it mattered again incollege football.
"You could say weoutswagged them," said line-backer Brian Rolle, who grewup a 'Canes fan in Florida."We got a little swagger our-selves."
It wasn't always that way.Humiliating losses the pastcouple of years left the Buck-eyes with more of a limp thana swag. They were the punchline to a bad Big Ten joke.
All of that has beenwashed away, at least fornow.
"People are going to haveto take this program seriouslynow," Rolle said. "Hopefully,people will start looking at usin a new light. We are asgood as advertised."
That's particularly true ondefense, where Ohio Statehas allowed one touchdownin two games.
The Hurricanes finallyproduced some big plays inthe second half, but OhioState's blitz schemes seemed
to confuse Miami quarterbackJacory Harris.
Harris came in withdreams of a Heisman Trophycampaign, but those ended ina cloud of turnovers.
Terrelle Pryor didn't helphis Heisman campaign, either.
He occasionally flashesglimpses, but still hasn't de-
veloped into the polishedpocket passer — and likelynever will — he was expect-ed to be as the No. 1 recruitin the country a few yearsago.
But the Buckeyes don'tneed Pryor to win a Heisman

College enrollment is thehighest it’s ever been. Thisis great for universities butbad for ambitious students.
As the pool of freshmenincreases each year, so willexpectations and so willcompetition.
To increase stress, thispeak in college enrollmentcomes amidst a recessionthat has driven the nationalunemployment rate to thehighest it’s been in morethan a quarter of a century.
Not only is it more diffi-cult than ever to break intothe top quarter of the class,but once students elbow pasteach other, they might noteven get a job.
What can students do toset themselves apart fromtheir record-breaking class-mates?
Nearly every academicadviser or mentor will tellyou to build your resumeand participate in extracur-ricular activities.
But don’t just join theclubs and Greek organiza-tions. Actually participatein them. Thousands of stu-dents at this university arein clubs, Greek life, churchgroups and Student Gov-ernment, but perhaps only ahandful actually go aboveand beyond the “required.”
What catches employers’eyes are the resumes whichshape a well-rounded indi-
vidual: someone involved ata college level, a communitylevel, and most impressively,a global level.
Perhaps the Twitter trendhas caught on too literally,but what’s with all of thefollowers?
What the local and glob-al community needs now isleaders.
It’s programs like theTurner Leadership Academyin the College of Agriculturethat inspire students to be-
come better leaders throughexperiential learning and in-teraction within their com-munity.
During a four semesterperiod, students in the pro-gram design a LeadershipDevelopment Plan and aleadership portfolio, whichupon completion, grantsthem a certificate in formal-ized leadership develop-ment. Employers are look-ing for students like thesewith the competencies tobecome active members oftheir workplace and com-munity.
As Ralph Waldo Emer-son said, “Do not followwhere the path may lead.Go instead where there isno path and leave a trail.”

A look into more convenient coupons
I’m a bargain shopper. Irarely go shopping without acoupon in hand or store cir-cular that highlights what’son sale.
Maybe it’s my cheapcollege student mentality.Others embrace this mentali-ty too, though.
Money-strapped collegestudents often try to findways to cut down on ex-penses whenever and wher-ever possible. One of themost traditional methods,coupon-clipping, has be-come an antiquated practice,at least in the traditionalsense.
But thanks to retailerslike Target, JCPenney andvarious grocery manufactur-ers and restaurants, more
discounts are now availableonline.
An Aug. 14 CNN Satur-day Morning report re-vealed that more people arebypassing the paper versionof coupons in favor of theironline counterparts.
In the CNN report, fi-nancial analyst Clyde Ander-son said the changing timeshave meant Sunday newspa-pers are not offering thecoupons in the numbers theyused to, as more merchantshave elected to move dis-counts online, a sign that theCoupon 2.0 era has begun.
This change has evenprompted the institution ofcoupon-clipping classes toteach people the art ofsearching for and selectingonline coupons. The classes,which are available onlineor at physical locations,range from free to $25 incost. These services haveeven begun to show up inFacebook ads, which directpeople to the appropriatewebsites to sign up.
Shoppers also now havethe ability to get couponsstraight from their mobiledevices.
The California-basedKFSN news station reportedin May that cell phonesequipped with Internet canaccess mobile coupons. Allcustomers have to do isshow the phone coupon tocashiers at the register.
Customers just go to aretailer’s website or a mo-bile coupon aggregate site,enter their cell phone num-ber and then select what of-fers they want to receive.The offers then arrive in atext message and are readyto redeem whenever cus-tomers choose to use them.
Blackberrys and iPhoneshave hundreds of download-able mobile coupon applica-tions.
According to the KFSNreport, mobile coupons havea higher rate of redemption:5 to 20 percent, as opposedto 1 percent from tradition-ally-printed coupons.
Manufacturers approveof this move to the Internet,because it’s cheaper andprovides a way to track cus-tomer spending trends. Andconsumers are equally asthrilled to have discounts atthe click of a button, ratherthan have to go through andclip out the coupons, there-by saving paper and largelyincreasing convenience.
Coupons no longer haveto be outdated little piecesof paper that arrive in circu-lars each week. Rather, theycan continue to be practicalways for consumers, particu-larly college students, tosave money in this penny-pinching economy.
I’m not sure I’ll be asapt as other customers togive up my paper couponsright away, but the conven-ience and environmental im-pact are definitely things toconsider.

Student suggests using morecreativity at Halloween
Your Halloween costumemight be good at getting youtreats, but chances are theoutfit itself was quite a ripoff.
While the holiday ofdressing up in a ridiculousfashion is more than a monthaway, costume stores areopen, with people buyingaway.
Sadly though, it seemsmost people just aren’t intothe sheet ghost thing any-more. (Classic, we shouldbring it back.)
Much more popular arejourneys into the risque.
The formula for a mod-ern Halloween costume issimple. In fact, I promise I
can teach how to brainstormyour very own marketablecostume before the end ofthis column.
First, think of an occupa-tion. The medical field, lawenforcement field or militaryfield — you name it. Okay,do you have one? Picture theuniform that person wouldwear. Now, remove about 72to 80 percent of the cloth andadd boots. Voila! Costume!
If the idea of dressinglike you were at work andthen got attacked by a lion isappealing to you, then by allmeans, go for it.
However, I have a fewproblems with this system.
One, we’re being trickedout of using our creative abil-ity. A nurse who’s wearingbooty shorts instead ofscrubs? Exciting.
You know what would bemore exciting? A nurse inshort shorts who stumbledinto a pile of radiation be-cause of her abnormally huge
boots and grew the head ofgiant squid. Just saying.
Making the creativityproblem look small, however,is my main issue with thesecostumes — the way theprices rip people off.
Let us use Halloweenex-press.com as an example.
Oh, look, a “Strip SearchSheriff” costume. The cos-tume consists of a “Low cut,short sleeve top, shorts, belt,glasses, gloves, and policebaton.” The knee-high bootsare not included. The price?$59.99, and that’s $12 cheap-er than the retail price of$71.99.
I don’t know about you,but there’s no way I can jus-tify paying between $60 and$72 for a likely cheaply-made pair of shorts, thin bel-ly-button length shirt, plasticaccessories and glasses Icould buy for $1.00.
I wonder if once upon atime a committee sat arounda long, oval table and said,
“Hey, let’s set this up so thefewer clothes you buy, themore it’ll cost! It’s genius!”and everybody fell for it.
The “Strip Search Sher-iff” is by no means the onlyexample. Go and look foryourself. These types of cos-tumes with their rip off pricesrun rampant.
In no way am I discour-aging you from wearingwhatever strikes your fancy.
I am suggesting we pay alittle more attention and useour brains instead of dishingout tons of cash for thingswe’ll wear once.
Find a real outfit and cutit up. Go to thrift stores orother stores and piece thingstogether. Make things.Chances are, it’ll look moreinteresting, and you won’t bebuying the equivalent of theworld’s most-expensivecleaning rag.

your team needs it is out ofthe question.
Imagine the feelingfreshman running back Ray-mond Sanders, an athletewho is younger than mostticket holders, felt Saturday.He scored the first touch-down of his collegiate careeron a short run, and thenlooked up to see nobody leftin the stands to share themoment with him. Thenwhen he scored a secondtime as a Cat only minuteslater, even fewer fans werethere to show him love.How disheartening.
Meanwhile, the majorityof the UK faithful is sittingin traffic while drunken frat
guys (who don’t even knowwhat they are watching) aretaking up the seats they paidfor.
Save the excuses forsomeone who cares. It was ahome opener, the weatherwas perfect as ever for anevening of football in theBluegrass, and the Cats wereobliterating their opponentwhile playing a very cleangame. What more can youask for as a fan?
If you are going to claimyour unwavering allegiance tothe Blue and White commu-nity, show it to the players,too — for the entire game. Itis the duty of a fan to supporthis or her team through thickand thin. If you do not, youhave no right to bash the teamwhen it’s struggling.
I applaud those of youwho remain glued to the
match from the first heart-beat through the final verseof “My Old KentuckyHome,” even through losses.It is dedication to be ad-mired.
Being a follower shouldnever be a competition. In-stead, a more unified front.But that front cannot formwhen a main percentage ofso-called devotees are on theway home. If it does nothappen at other schools, itshouldn’t happen at a uni-versity of this caliber.
So, a note to “fans”: doyour part. If not for somecolumnist, at least do so foryour beloved athletes. Be theproud Cats fans they deserve.
Come on, UK. Fit themold.

penalty trouble — UK had two for six yardsthis week — but was unhappier with the bigplays his defense gave up once again thisweek.
“On defense, two 80-yard drives in thesecond half can’t happen … especially if youwant to be a great defense,” Phillips said.
In the second half, UK gave a lot of itsbackups, including quarterbacks MorganNewton and Ryan Mossakowski, a chance tosee the field. Notably, third-string freshmantailback Raymond Sanders carried the ballseven times for 32 rushing yards and scoredtwo touchdowns, including the first of his ca-reer.
“I joked around with Sanders all week thathe wasn’t going to get in the end zone, but hecame out and popped in two tonight,” Cobb
said.And what Cobb says, joking or not, makes
a difference to his teammates.“Cobb doesn’t say much during the
week,” Phillips said. “But on gameday, he’sthe guy that’s vocal in the locker room, gettingthe guys inspired to play.”
Game notesUK and WKU will play again next season
at LP Field in Nashville…The Cats have won15 straight games against non-conference op-ponents at home…It was the second meetingbetween the two schools: UK is 2-0 againstthe Hilltoppers…UK’s 63 points were themost points scored in regulation since scoring77 points vs. UTEP in 2002…Tailbacks Der-rick Locke (forearm) and Donald Russell (an-kle), and cornerback Randall Burden (lowerback) picked up injuries in the game…Sopho-more cornerback Martavius Neloms (groin)missed the game because of injury.

to get to the BCS title game.Their only championship un-der Jim Tressel came withCraig Krenzel at quarter-back.
With Krenzel in charge,Ohio State games had moreducks than a hunting trip.But he rarely turned the ballover, was quick on his feetand could extend drives bygaining five yards on third-and-4 when the pocket col-lapsed around him.
Krenzel, in fact, was
Ohio State's leading rusherin the national championshipvictory over Miami — muchlike Pryor led the Buckeyesin rushing against the Hurri-canes on Saturday.
Pryor is at his best whenhe's in the open field, notwhen he's standing in thepocket.
Heyward is at his bestwhen he's pressuring quar-terbacks, but he proved tobe a capable return man,too.
"You don't realize howlong the field is," he said,"until you start running it."
With Miami out of theway, Ohio State's remaining
tests should be Wisconsin,Penn State, Iowa and perhapsMichigan. Wisconsin andIowa are both on the road.
But by beating a qualitynonconference opponent, theBuckeyes might have boughtthemselves some breathingroom. Whereas one losseliminated them from nation-al title talk before, this yearthey can stay in the discus-sion should a pile of one-lossteams create a BCS logjamat the end of the year.
But don't tell them that."That doesn't matter right
now," Rolle said. "We don'tplan on losing."
Yeah, the swag is back.

Music and art lovers wereprivy to a wide array of talentall weekend long as the sec-ond annual Boomslang com-menced with nearly 70 actsthroughout four days at sevendifferent venues.
The event started Thurs-day with a kickoff party atBar Lexington, but the musicreally began to pop on Fridayat Busters when Sonic Boom,stage name of Pete Kember,founder of the English rockband Spacemen 3, broke inthe backroom stage. Kem-ber’s music, a mix of psyche-delic rock and shoegazing,began with a long and quietintro but gradually built itsway up into a crowd-pleasingperformance.
Friday’s acts were numer-ous and spread out acrossLexington from CosmicCharlie’s to in-store perform-ances at CD Central on S.Limestone.
Midway through theevent, coordinator SarayaBrewer was pleasantly sur-prised with the improvementover last year’s festival andnoted several performances
that she was impressed with.“Last year it was really
awesome all in all, but it waskind of new; this year it is alot smoother overall,” Brewersaid. “The Akron/Family dida really energetic perform-ance everyone was into andhad a great time. ‘Everyonelives Everyone Wins’ had areally cool multimedia thing,that was really awesome, andthe crowd was really im-pressed.”
Saturday offered moreperformances and flare.Along with continuing per-formances on Buster’s back-room stage, the parking lotwas transformed into a carni-val/art show with makeshiftstages for bands, comediansand other types of perform-ance art.
As Saturday night flewby, fire dancers dazzled andtwirled in tune with alt-coun-try, Cincinnati-based indieband “The Seddy Seeds.”
Event coordinator Brewersaid the event attracted peo-ple from places outside ofLexington, including Michi-gan and Chicago.
“They were really im-pressed with the show,”Brewer said.
Plenty of festival goers,
and some Cats fans whoweren’t too burnt out fromtailgating chose to close outtheir Saturday at CosmicCharlie’s, where electronic‘Italo Disco’ band Glass Can-dy performed until earlymorning.
On Sunday, Brewer saidthe event was a success andan improvement, but room
for improvement exists fornext year.
“Everything was great,”Brewer said. “A lot of peoplecame out to discover musicand enjoy themselves, but wewish we had reached more stu-dents. We need to figure out away to get the word out aboutBoomslang and WRFL, whichis a great student resource.”

While many studentswere busy buying school sup-plies and figuring out classschedules during the firstweeks of school, UK theatrestudents were busy with re-hearsals and auditions.
From Thursday to Sunday,the UK Department of Theatrecelebrated its centennial witha student-run play festival,which included seven plays at
the Guignol Theatre. The plays chosen for the
festival have been in theworkings for more than ayear.
Nancy Jones, chair of theDepartment of Theatre, saidthe festival shows the best ofthe department.
“This is where studentscan really see their workscome alive on stage,” shesaid.
For many of the writers,the festival was their first ex-
perience working with direc-tors, faculty designers and allthe trappings of main stageproduction.
The plays came throughmany stages of work, includ-ing public readings, and edit-ing and viewing from theatreprofessor Herman D. Farrell.
Theatre senior AllysonSmith wrote, “The Dance,” aplay featured in the festivaland said real life events in-spired it. She said she hopesher play will inspire others to
get involved in theatre andbring them back to see moreperformances this season.
Theatre student RyanHastings said he hopes theplays inspired people to getinvolved.
“I want them to see thisis a place for everyone,” hesaid.
