COMING BACK TO COLLEGE

The UK offense might behumming two games into heseason, but for the secondstraight week, defensivebreakdowns displeased UKhead coach Joker Phillips fol-lowing his team’s 63-28 rompover in-state foe WesternKentucky.

The UK defense has sur-rendered 601 offensive yardsto two non-Southeastern Con-ference opponents this sea-son; UK’s run defense, whichhas given up 377 of those 601yards including several longruns, has been particularlysuspect.

“We have to wrap up, and

we’ve got to gang tacklealso,” Phillips said. “Today'sbacks are squatty, thicklegged. It's hard to get yourarms around them sometimes.We’ve got to gang tackleonce we get them wrappedup. That's not happening ei-ther.”

Squatty backs, such asWKU’s 5-foot-7 BobbyRainey, who ran for a game-high 184 yards versus theCats, haven’t seemed to beslowed down by UK’s inex-perienced front seven.

UK’s next game againstthe Akron Zips, from theMid-American Conference,will be the final tune-up forthe UK defense before facingNo. 10 Florida in Gainesville

on Sept. 25.Although the Zips (0-2)

come to Lexington on theheels of a 38-37 overtime lossto Gardner-Webb of the Foot-ball Championship Subdivi-sion, they had two tailbacks,seniors Nate Burney and AlexAllen, each rush for morethan 100 yards.

“I think their offensiveline is their strength, both inthe running game and in thepassing game,” said Phillips,who along with UK defensiveline coach David Turnerworked with Akron’s offen-sive line coach, MitchBrowning, at Minnesota.

The UK offense has faith

Scholars return to UK

The ordinary college student isabout 20 years old and takes class-es to learn the skills preparingthemself for life and a career. Butnot all students at UK fit this tradi-tional mold.

Some students already have alifetime of knowledge and experi-ences and return to school to learnmore. At UK, these students areknown as Donovan Fellows.

Founded in 1964, the Dono-van Fellowship for Academic Stu-dents, allows students who are 65or older to return to UK withouthaving to pay tuition.

The program was named forHerman Donovan, president ofUK from 1941-56.

Michael Smith, director of theDonovan Fellowship, said Dono-van believed learning doesn’t stopwith college.

“(Donovan) had the wisdom tounderstand that even though age65 retirement was typical then,

that curiosity never retires,” Smithsaid. “And that older adults couldbe a tremendous valuable resourceto the community.”

Around the same time theDonovan program was starting,William Stull was serving in Viet-nam. He was there 31 months, 25days and 10 hours.

Now, Stull, a third-year Dono-van’s fellow, takes a pottery classat UK.

Stull has a masters degree ineducation from UK and workedon a doctorate degree, but he nev-er completed it. Stull also servedas a leader in UK’s ROTC for fouryears.

However, Stull didn’t return toUK to complete his doctorate or towork with the ROTC program. Hecame back to learn pottery toteach his grandson, who he andhis wife raise.

“I had a little guy who said heloved ceramics,” Stull said.

Stull said he takes the class “to

Donovan Fellowship brings older students back to continue education

Defensive woes overshadowoffensive output against WKU

Students craving a taste of interna-tional culture and wanting to add twohours to their schedules have the oppor-tunity to register late for a unique class.

“South Africa & Kentucky: Differ-ent Lands, Common Ground,” a coursetaught by arts and sciences special proj-ects Manager Lauren Kientz, highlightsthe little-known similarities between thecountry and state and introduces stu-dents to cross-cultural opportunities onthe UK campus. The course runs Sept.23 to Dec. 7 and is accepting 200 stu-dents.

“There are many parallels, surpris-ingly, between these two places,” Kientzsaid. “For instance, we both have issuesabout public health, both have issueswith race in our past and we both lovesports.”

Beyond the similarities betweenthese two places, the course's themes areimportant because all students will beentering a global marketplace, Kientzsaid. She said whether they're going intobusiness or education, they'll be meetingand engaging in business opportunitieswith people from all over the world,from cultures with similarities and dif-ferences to ours.

Different topics will be discussedthroughout the course each week, fromsports to making moral choices as aglobal consumer, Kientz said.

Students will watch the seven-partdocumentary, “Have You Heard FromJohannesburg,” which focuses on theanti-apartheid struggle in South Africa.Each week, special speakers will visitproviding insight related to the class,Kientz said. Many of these speakerswere directly involved with the anti-apartheid movement.

“[The course] is open to anybodywho wants to learn,” she said. “It focus-es on introductory skills that everyoneneeds to learn.”

Students will reflect on the docu-mentary through creative blog entriesposted on the class website. Althoughthe course is open to 200 students, muchdiscussion will occur online in small

Lambda Chi Alpha’s nationals hasdeclared the UK chapter inactive afterUK Police cited the fraternity for under-age drinking at its on-campus house inlate August.

According to a news release, the In-dianapolis-based Lambda Chi Alphaheadquarters intends to reestablish thechapter in the future. To do this, thechapter must comply with alumni, UKand the fraternity. No timetable was setfor the chapter’s return.

Because of its inactive status, thechapter is closed, and no member canrepresent the organization or conductevents in the fraternity’s name.

UK Police Chief Joe Monroe saidthe department received an anonymousnoise complaint after midnight on Aug.22 for the fraternity house on HugueletDrive. Officers issued eight citations forminor possession of alcohol, Monroesaid.

After the incident, headquartersplaced the chapter on emergency suspen-sion, meaning it could not participate infall rush. Headquarters then worked withUK to investigate the incident.

Musical reclaimation projectshave been all the rage of late.

Reaching back to Jack White's2004 repositioning of Loretta Lynn asa grunged-up femme fatale for a newgeneration, Elvis Costello's recentembrace of New Orleans legend AllenToussaint or T Bone Burnett and EltonJohn's forthcoming resuscitation ofLeon Russell's lately-below-radarcareer, superstars and indie faveshave made it fashionable to pay trib-ute to their heroes, while seizing achance to step outside their own cre-ative comfort zones.

The latest of these albums, "YouAre Not Alone," Mavis Staples' col-laboration with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy,steers clear of wholesale reinvention.

While it's certain an entire demo-graphic, who've likely never spun asingle Staple Singers record, will pickup "Alone" based solely upon produc-er Tweedy's involvement, it also givesStaples more exposure to the discern-

ing, Starbucks-sipping crowd. (Shepreviously ventured into this territorywith 2007's Ry Cooder-produced"We'll Never Turn Back.")

Aside from sharing a hometownStaples and Tweedy both hail fromChicago the pair also appear to sharea similiar sensibility, in that gospel,folk and easy-going rock reside quiteclose to one another. Spirituality ofthe secular and non-secular varietiesthreads its way through the wholealbum, itself sprinkled with coversand a few originals, including the qui-etly powerful title track, penned byTweedy.

The Wilco frontman (who draftedbandmate Pat Sansone to contributehere, along with Neko Case's back-upvocalist Kelly Hogan and guitarist RickHolmstrom) doesn't impose himselftoo much upon Staples, content to lether talent and passion carry the day.Alone isn't, thankfully, a case of agospel/R&B legend being grafted

onto avant garde indie rock songs;rather, Tweedy keeps things spareand tastefully showcases the 71-year-old vocalist's stout, soulful pipes.

Still, a handful of songs "Only theLord Knows" or "Wrote a Song ForEveryone" wouldn't feel out of placeon a Wilco album. The gently ram-bling, folk-rock style is unmistakable,although it meshes well with Staples'often spot-on performances.

Tweedy long ago cemented hisplace among the indie rock elite,while Staples has maintained avibrancy and vitality well into hersixth decade in the music business.Even if this project is a one-off collab-oration, its broad appeal marks as oneof the year's more low-key delights.Like the best of these star-crossedefforts, "You Are Not Alone" renewsappreciation for the student, as wellas the master

in their defensive counter-parts to get up to speed be-fore the conference gamesstart.

“We’re lacking experi-ence (on defense) right now,”sophomore wide receiverLa’Rod King said. “Butthose guys play hard, they go110 percent and lay the wooddown, but we had a couplemissed assignments and gaveup a couple of big plays.Please believe this weekthey’ll fix all that.”

Phillips noted that he didthink the defense improvedfrom week 1 to week 2, butfelt like the immaturity wasthe reason behind the de-fense letting up in the secondhalf against the Hilltoppers.

The defense’s goal thisweek is still clear, however.

“Definitely, stopping therun,” Phillips said. “Onkicks, too, I consider thatstopping the run.  Once theguy has the ball in his hand,it's no longer a kick, it's arunning play.  We have tostop that.”

Backup quarterback po-sition still unsettled

Mike Hartline’s backups,

sophomore Morgan Newtonand freshman RyanMossakowski, both got thechance to play and led scor-ing drives against WKU afterHartline exited the game latein the third quarter, butPhillips said he still hasn’tdesignated either backup asthe No. 2 quarterback.

Mossakowski redshirtedlast season, yet Phillips saidthat he hadn’t consideredredshirting Newton becausehe’s “really not into redshirt-ing guys that can help you,and (Newton) can help uswin a game.”

Injury report

Cornerback MartaviusNeloms (groin) and safetyDakotah Tyler (ankle) areexpected to resume practic-ing this week. Tailback Der-rick Locke (elbow), corner-back Randall Burden, line-backer Danny Trevathan(hip) and tailback DonaldRussell (ankle) are probablefor the game against Akron.

be able to stay ahead of him.”Since Donovan fellows

are UK students, they havethe same grading options asother students: grade,pass/fail or audit.

Stull said he either auditsclasses or takes them aspass/fail.

“I don’t want to put pres-sure on myself or skew theclass averages,” Stull said.

Barbara Steinrock, anoth-er Donovan’s fellow in Stull’sceramics class, said she hadtaken pottery classes as anundergraduate.

“My work is a lot differ-ent than it was,” Steinrocksaid.

Steinrock said the age ofthe Donovan’s fellowsdoesn’t affect their interac-tions with other students.

“The age doesn’t makeany difference at all,” Stein-rock said.

She also said age doesn’tmean she tries any less in herclasses.

“I do the same work theydo,” Steinrock. “I don’t try tocop out.”

Bobby Scroggins, profes-sor of the Ceramics II classStull and Steinrock are tak-ing, said he has taught severalDonovan’s fellows during his21 years at UK.

Scroggins said the fellowsare a benefit to his classes.

“They bring about a senseof stability and maturity,”Scroggins said.

Around the time Stull was

serving in Vietnam, Dr.Robert French was beginninghis residency at UK.

After working at UK fornearly 40 years, French, 73,retired in 2003.

Last spring, French re-turned to UK to take musicaltheory.

Two things led French totake classes again. First,French said he has written achildren’s song he would liketo develop. The other is tofinish a composition he firstheard in a dream.

French is taking the intro-ductory music theory classthat assistant professor in mu-sic theory Kevin Holm-Hud-son teaches.

As an introductorycourse, the musical theoryclass has a wide range of tal-ent and knowledge.

French said he doesn’tplay piano but uses a key-board as a tool to help himwith scales and to visualizehis work.

“I don’t plan to write anysymphonies,” French said.“So I’m trying to basicallyachieve the 6-year-old levelof Mozart level, not the 8-year-old.

“In fact, I’d be happy toachieve the 5-year-old level,”French said.

Holm-Hudson said theclass teaches students the ele-ments of music, including ba-sic harmony, chords andscales.

Holm-Hudson said hecould think of two Donovan’sfellows, including French,who have taken music class-es. He said the fellows don’tfeel self-conscious, and they

motivate other students to dotheir best by being quick toanswer questions and to doassignments.

“The Donovan’s scholarprogram is wonderful,”Holm-Hudson said. “The stu-dents I’ve had from that pro-gram have always been a realasset to our classes.”

Holm-Hudson said one ofthe first assignments he hashis students do is create a CDwith their favorite songs. Hesaid French turned in a full-length CD with recordingsFrench had grown up with.

Holm-Hudson said he ap-preciated the personal touchFrench brought to the classthrough the CD.

With the three options forgrading, French said he istaking the class for a grade.

“Human nature beingwhat it is, if you audit acourse, you’re not going towork as hard,” French said.

French said as he’s gottenolder, he sees a “new form ofprocrastination.”

“Whereas when you’relittle you think, ‘If I couldjust put it off till tomorrow.’And then you get older andyou think, ‘No, I’ll do thatnext week.’ And then youthink, ‘No, I better wait tonext month to do that.’ But,you get to my age you think,‘No, I better put that off tillnext year,’ ” French said.

“And now I’m almostreaching the level where Ithink, ‘No, I’m going to needa new lifetime to do that.’ ”

groups, Kientz said, empha-sizing the importance of peerpublishing, blogs and digitalmedia for students pursuingany major.

The class website displaysa schedule that includes dis-cussions, film screenings anda field trip to the National Un-derground Railroad FreedomCenter in Cincinnati in its fi-nal week. This aims to ex-plore similarities and differ-ences between race issues inSouth Africa and Kentucky.

Undergraduates' eyes may

also be opened to numerous“rich opportunities” on theUK campus through thiscourse, Kientz said.

Major themes of politics,activism, race and religionwill be covered, as well asbusiness, the role of segregat-ed education, questions aboutpoverty, crime and discrimi-nation, and sports, which shesaid are very close to bothKentucky and South Africa'sidentities.

“Also, we have very dis-tinct regional identities in alarge statehood,” Kientz said.

Students with a passionfor international governmentand relations would be espe-

cially interested in thiscourse, but it is an opportuni-ty for everyone to learn abouta place that's very differentbut also connects to home,she said.

Registration for course isavailable until the first day ofclass Sept. 23. Students mustwork with their advisers toregister. The course outline isavailable on the class webpage, (http://southafricaken-tucky.wordpress.com).

The “Have You HeardFrom Johannesburg” viewingis also open to the public, notjust those in the class, Kientzsaid.

Lee Todd failed. Plainand simple, Lee Todd failedto deliver on his word.

He vowed to deliver atop-20 learning institution tothe state of Kentucky, and hedid not do it. Now, he isleaving the university con-fused, flustered and leader-less.

Why now? Why don’t wehave the premiere universitywe strived to attain for thelast 13 years?

UK’s lame duck PresidentLee Todd’s legacy will forev-er be deemed as a failure,which is a shame consideringhe was one of the truly greatadvocates for this institution.

Google “Lee Todd” andyou will read about the won-derful characteristics Toddpossesses or the firsthandaccounts of how he changed

a student’s life. All these arewonderful, but in today’s so-ciety, we ask ‘what have youdone for me lately?’ So whathas Todd done for me late-ly? Nothing.

But before we throwTodd under the metaphoricalbus, assess what he wascharged with accomplishing.The Top 20 Plan was a no-win situation for UK andTodd from the very begin-ning.

When Todd’s replacementis announced sometime laterthis year, that individual willbe the third president to takeon this wounded beast.

In 1997, the Kentuckystate legislature mandated UKbecome a top-20 research in-stitution by 2020.

Sure, sounds like a won-derful plan. Let’s just throwmoney at a cause and worktoward it. The problem is,only one side kept its word.

Under this compactagreement, the governmentvowed to support this plan.Unless yearly budget cuts fallunder support, the govern-ment has failed its people

when it comes to education. The Top 20 Plan is a joke.

A college education providesstudents the option of pursu-ing their dreams and lifegoals. To be obtained, though,these dreams must be realis-tic. Yes, I always wanted toplay golf on the PGA Tourand make millions, but howrealistic is that? My game isOK but nothing to brag about.

The point is, goals andaspirations are essentialbuilding blocks to a success-ful life, but these objectivesmust be realistic. The Top20 Plan is not a realistic goalfor this university.

Look around campus andyou will see where this insti-tution succeeds: health careand athletics. State of the artfacilities exist for the athletesand future health careproviders. But can you findone education building thatwe can deem “state of theart”?

White Hall ClassroomBuilding may have beenahead of its time in 1969when it was built, but thatwas more than 40 years ago.

How can we have a top-20institution when the averagestudent is overlooked and un-derappreciated (and subse-quently, underfunded)?

The state legislature hasbeen digging Lee Todd’sgrave since the moment hetook the job nearly 10 yearsago. Since the Top 20 Planwas Todd’s baby, you have todeem his tenure as a failure.

Yet, it wasn’t even hisfault. Throw in the growingpower and influence of theathletic department on thiscampus, and you have agenuine no-win situationfor Todd.

Todd will be rememberedfor taking a business ap-proach to running a largepublic institution and being astaunch advocate for this uni-versity, yet on paper, he willhave failed miserably.

Just be sure to let therecord show that his responsi-bility for the failure is essen-tially none.

One hourmakes adifference

It is often said that the last thing we learn or study be-comes our lens of how we view the world.

As a second year marriage andfamily therapy graduatestudent, I find this to beinherently true. Sincethe start of the program, Ihave a heightened senseof the complex emotionsothers experience, as

well as my own.And I have noticed that despite each person having a

unique struggle, some of the same themes and feelingsunite everyone: loneliness, pain and sadness. But thebiggest challenge of all is finding the courage to share thispain with others.

Society tells us to be fiercely independent and to “dealwith” things on our own. We are taught to control our emo-tions and that sad feelings are bad and unhealthy to have.Getting help or going to therapy may reflect weakness orsay you’re “crazy,” and medication is the quick fix.

Through my own trial and error, I have quickly foundthe opposite to be true. It takes a stronger person to reachout and ask for help. It takes a braver person to reveal vul-nerability to another. It is the harder thing to do, but asLois Lowry says in the book The Giver, “The worst part ofholding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness ofit. Memories need to be shared.”

It can be easier to put a smile on your face than have toexplain to someone what you’re going through. He or shemight not understand. He or she may judge you or mightfeel burdened.

I know this, because I have had these very thoughts runthrough my mind.

But during the past year, I have realized that constantlytrying to control your emotions and hide them is exhaust-ing. Sometimes to relieve sadness or painful emotions, weactually have to let ourselves feel it — and more impor-tantly, to share it with others.

As simple as that may sound, we have become adept atdistracting ourselves from doing so, because we are eitherconstantly moving from one thing to the next or are scaredof what we may find.

Slow down. Take time to be introspective; you may besurprised at how resilient you really are. The wise Aristot-le said we cannot learn without pain, and I suspect he isright. My own struggles have given me a greater capacityto feel the good.

Free and low-cost counseling resources are availabe oncampus that offer you this opportunity. The Family Centeris located in Scovell Hall and offers individual, marriageand family therapy. The Counseling and Testing Center inFrazee Hall offers free individual counseling to students.

Take an hour each week and dedicate it to just you.You deserve it.

It’s junior year of highschool, and my friend Kateand I are sitting at lunch. I’mcomplaining about boys wecan’t have, and Kate is com-plaining about math. It wasduring this typical scene

when Katehad the ideaof the “Soc-ahtoa.”

S o c a h -toa is a termg e n e r a l l yused intrigonome-try to helpwith sineand cosine,but the wayKate saw it,

these equations were unsolv-able much like the relation-ships (or lack thereof) withthe boys we were lusting af-ter.

So, instead of using theterm Socahtoa exclusively forher puzzling math homework,Kate decided the term couldalso apply to our equally puz-zling boy situation. The termSocahtoa, used to refer to theboys we wanted and couldn’thave, was born.

The Socahtoa. The personyou want and cannot have,for whatever reason, being

out of your league, geograph-ically distant, or part of aMontague and Capulet situa-tion. You both like Matt &Kim, you both have nevermissed an episode of “En-tourage,” and you both enjoyTwizzlers and Red Bull whenyou’re staying up late cram-ming for tests.

It’s a match made inheaven because, in yourmind, this person can do nowrong. But wait. Go back tomy last sentence — the rela-tionship is in your mind. Andthat, my dear readers, is whyit’s the perfect relationship.

My most successful andhappy relationship is with myown Socahtoa because tech-nically, it’s not happening.He’s off at college a couple ofstates away, and that’s whyit’s awesome. He hasn’t got-ten his grubby hands on it tomangle it, and he hasn’t got-ten the chance to make memad, let me down or breakmy heart. Hence the appealand lure of the elusive Socah-toa.

It’s the perfect relation-

ship because it can’t anddoesn’t exist. Yet Socahtoastill fills you with hope.Whenever things head southwith that cutie you were flirt-ing with all semester in SOC101, and he leaves the barwith a swamp creature in-stead of you, you need onlyturn to your Socahtoa (andokay, maybe another beer).

See, not only does theSocahtoa offer an example ofwhat could be the perfect re-lationship, he or she also con-tributes hope to the humanrace. A hope of somethingbetter in the world of stalebeer, “Family Guy” quotesand “flavor of the week”hookups that we revolvearound.

While yes, I make light ofSocahtoa, the hope of some-thing better it can bring issomething to be cherished.It’s important to keep thathope alive but also importantto be realistic, because hopeis just that — something wewish would happen.

The ultimate loss of hopeis disheartening. It’s confir-mation that the potential tohave the world’s greatest rela-tionship doesn’t exist. It wastruly what it was all along —just a figment of your imagi-

nation. A loss of hope likethat, and sadly, I speak fromexperience, is quite hard todeal with.

Yet, despite the fact thatour hope is against all oddsand there’s a chance we mayget our heart stomped, theSocahtoa lives on. Becauseno one else can make a rela-tionship quite like we can,right?

While we may not get ourimagined relationship withour Socahtoas, whoever theymay be, why not turn ourSocahtoas into something toaspire to, a relationship tobase others off of? Maybethe person you're currentlyscoping out is much more at-tainable but isn’t the “En-tourage” fanatic you are, butinstead is a die hard fan of“Dexter.” Those are compro-mises that can be made.

One day, maybe you’llget your Socahtoa. I hope youdo.

A final word — if themiracle happens and you doget your “Socahtoa,” it willno longer be a perfect rela-tionship. This can only meanone thing: time for a newSocahtoa.

Have hope, be realistic in love

In 11 days, Kentucky willabsorb a giant surge of horsefans from across the globe,becoming the first state in thecountry to host the WorldEquestrian Games.

UK’s Art Museum ishosting its very own equinefirst — an artistic, historicalstudy of horses and their rolein America. After gatheringpaintings, prints, photos andsculptures from more than 30national institutions and pri-vate collections, the museumis presenting “Hoofbeats &Heartbeats: The Horse inAmerican Art.”

In grade school you mightrecall seeing images ofGeorge Washington in yourhistory textbooks, often posednear a strong, white horse.This was a symbol of powerin art passed down throughthe centuries.

“A white horse set thegenerals apart from the rest ofthe troops during the Revolu-tionary War through the CivilWar,” Janie Welker, UK ArtMuseum curator of collec-tions and exhibitions, said.

“These are traditions of hors-es and poses based on oldersymbols and adapted for usein America.”

The museum has threerare and distinct Washingtonrenderings in the show’s firstsection, which is about thehorse as a symbol of power.All three have their own be-hind-the-scenes historicalcontext.

In the second segment ofthe showcase, the horse isportrayed as a symbol of free-dom, especially in the Ameri-can West.

“These pieces show peo-ple living life in an untamedlandscape … where there’s avast, open country to expandto,” Welker said.

Everything from TeddyRoosevelt and his Rough Rid-ers to the everyday lives ofNative Americans can be seenin the exhibit. In a GeorgeCatlin piece, the rarely de-picted Native Americanequine dressage is availablein vibrant view. This is one ofthe few pieces completed be-fore the Native Americansstarted to disappear from theAmerican landscape.

The third section contains

works related to the theme of“horse power,” or horses asworking machines. In onesculpture, man and horse be-come one as they work along-side each other, testing theirrespective strengths.

Welker said horses wereonce so abundant in NewYork City that multi-tiergarages were built to accom-modate them, much like thegarages we park our cars intoday. Horses were used fortransportation, constructionand delivery, said Welker, andthere were too many to housein flat lots.

Horses used for the pur-pose of sport and pleasurecan also be seen. Early racingchampions like the famous“Lexington” are included, aswell as pieces depicting peo-ple enjoying the pleasure ofriding horses.

“This exhibit is as muchabout the history of horses asit is about the history ofAmerica,” Welker said.

About 50 pieces wereborrowed from all over thecountry to compose “Hoof-beats & Heartbeats,” one ofthe largest exhibitions to holdso many creations on loan at

one time. The show tookmore than three years to or-ganize and prepare.

“My favorite pieces areprobably the William HerbertDunton paintings,” Welker,who had never before seenDunton’s work, said. “Theyhave such a romantic fee. Butthis show has so much vari-ety, there really is somethingfor everyone.”

“Hoofbeats & Heart-beats” can be seen at the UKArt Museum through Nov.21.

Exhibit to show history of horses

The leaves are changing,and the days are getting short-er. For the UK volleyballteam, that means it’s time forconference play, and the teamis using its beginning non-conference games to prepareitself for the SoutheasternConference.

UK finished the first por-tion of its schedule 6-4 innon-conference play, includ-ing winning two of three inthe UK Invitational held Sept.10-11. The Cats lost in fivesets to No. 17 Florida State,then swept Virginia Com-monwealth and beat KansasState 3-1.

“What we try to do isplay the best non-conferenceschedule we can, because theSEC is so strong,” UK assis-tant coach Lindsey Gray said.“Playing teams from differentconferences gives you theability to see different looksand the speed of the game.It’s important to see how wematch up. The preseason thisyear was very tough, but Ithink the strong schedulehelps to build the confidenceof the team.”

The strong schedule alsoincluded opening the seasonwith two games against top-10 opponents in Nebraskaand Iowa State. The Cats lost

both matches convincingly,managing to win a mere oneset between the two matches.But with a team of youth andinexperience — UK has onlytwo seniors — the early chal-lenges allowed the Cats toimprove.

“We need to revert backto this when we see theseteams again in the postsea-son,” Gray said. “We’re notgoing to hang our heads be-cause of a slow start. It’s allabout where we are at the endof the season.”

A promising sign forUK’s future came in Satur-day’s match against KansasState when senior BlaireHiler recorded her first careerdouble-double. She paced theCats to a five-set win with 16kills and 14 digs, both careerbests. Hiler’s improvementcould indicate how much bet-ter UK can perform.

And despite the lineupheavy on youth, UK is talent-ed. Freshman WhitneyBillings was named the SECFreshman of the Week afteraveraging 3.28 kills permatch in the Kentucky Invita-tional, including a 23-kill per-formance against FloridaState.

UK has also experiencedpaces of pressurized match-es, which could serve themwell in conference play. Five

of the 10 matches have goneto the maximum five sets,and UK has won three ofthose five matches. Playingin closely contested sets hashelped prepare the Cats forthe trials of an SEC sched-ule.

“We couldn’t ask for abetter schedule to start ourseason,” head coach CraigSkinner said in a preseasoninterview in August. “It’s agood chance to see where weare. There’s no better measur-ing stick.”

The non-conferenceschedule was tough, but forthis particular team it was ex-actly what was needed as theteam continues to figure itselfout. UK viewed the chal-lenges as learning experi-ences, and while mistakeswere made, it gives the Catsthe opportunity to fix thosemistakes in time for confer-ence play.

“We learned a lot aboutourselves here in the presea-son,” Gray said. “We made alot of great plays and somedumb ones. But we found outwe can battle, and while itmay not always be pretty wecan always come out of anymatch with a win. The futureis very bright for us.”
