The University ProgramCouncil took to the out-doors Monday for its sec-ond comedy club of the fallsemester.
As the Garden Theaterlawn filled with students,Slate Entertainment, inassociation with DownUnder Comedy Club, beganComedy Under the Stars.
“The UPC decided tohost a comedy club in theGarden Theater because itis something different andunique,” said KelseyMurray, a traditionalevents coordinator forUPC. “Slate Entertainmentcontacted us and wantedto see if we could put on ashow on campus. So wedecided to host in theGarden Theater because itdoesn’t get used enough.”
Captain J-sin, the hostfor the evening, got thecrowd excited for the firstcomedians to come onstage: Aaron Urist, BenBryant, Mitch Jones andChris Carpenter.
Josh McCannon, theowner of the Down Under
Comedy Club — located at2656 11th Ave. — and a partof Slate Entertainment, wasalso in attendance.
“This is a great way tolet Greeley know there issomething else out therebesides the club scene,”
McCannon said. “TheDown Under is the onlycomedy club in Greeley,so we host Monday nightsas open mic nights andthere is no cover.”
Some of the jokes toldleft members of the audi-ence slightly uneasy,because they were classi-fied as part of the bluecomedy vein. Comedians’acts also included manyreferences to topicalhumor as well.
All of the opening acts,J-sin, Urist, Bryant andJones were all very topical.Although, some of Bryantand Carpenter’s jokesreceived differing viewsfrom the audience.
Jones’ routine brieflyrecalled how his room-mates never change thetoilet paper roll and whatkind of brand toilet paperhe should buy.
“I instantly go to hellfor wiping my butt with apuppy, and Kroger brandis made out of pine conesand broken glass and bro-ken dreams,” Jones said.
Many students attend-ed UPC’s second ComedyClub of the year, but notmany thought that all thejokes were funny.
“I thought it was funnyand entertaining,” saidSarah Yost , a sophomorerecreation, tourism andhospitality major. “Butsome of them were off themark. Chris Carpenter wasmy favorite because hedidn’t tell as many sexualjokes as the others.”

The October issue of Voguefeatures current New York Jetsbackup quarterback TimTebow. In some of the photosand shoots one can find online,the question is raised on thestatus Tebow is beginning toachieve in the media.
One of the sets on the photoshoot, Tebow poses shirtlessholding a giant tire. Yes, athletesuse tractor tires for strength andconditioning, but the photodoesn’t depict a hard-workingathlete training. Instead, it seemsto represent a part of societyTebow has publicly denounced.
Athlete, Christian and virginare three identities Tebow has
identified himself as, but theimages can be looked at as con-tradicting the two latter identi-ties. By no means does the photoshoot belittle his religion or vir-ginity, but the poses seem to por-tray Tebow as a sex symbol —something one can assume is notTebow’s reasoning for the shoot.
If Tebow wants to continuepreaching purity and innocence,maybe he needs to start ques-tioning some of the outlets heassociates himself with. Vogueand Jockey both seem like twoplaces someone whose beliefsare being monitored through amagnifying glass should avoid.
Though not saying these pho-
tos are in any way provocative,but in Tebow’s three years as aprofessional quarterback, heseems to have regressed and isparticipating in something hedidn’t at the beginning of hiscareer. If Tebow really practiceswhat he preaches, he needs todraw the line where it is now.
The amount of publicity heeven gets for participating inthese photo shoots seems as alast drawn effort to legitimizeTebow in the public eye. Since ithas been made fairly clear MarkSanchez is the go-to guy for theJets at quarterback, the recogni-tion Tebow is getting for doing aphoto shoot with Vogue rein-
forces the fact that Tebow is —and has been — a huge point offocus of the public for reasonsother than football.
It seems athletes partaking inphoto shoots for fashion maga-zines, or even reality shows (lookhow well that turned out forTerrell Owens), takes away fromthe career of an athlete, whoseprimary focus should be on thesport he or she is paid to play,not these sidebars that come as aresult of the celebrity statusbeing an athlete gives them.
Still being seen as a rushing“quarterback,” Tebow shouldfocus on his spiral, not the iris ofa lens.
Jets QB Tim Tebow again makes news for all the wrong reasons
Recently, there has beena large amount of con-troversy involving the
officiating of the NFL. I think many of us can agree
that the calls made by the majori-ty of the replacement officialshave been less-than-adequateand have been causing an incred-ible disruption in what I wouldbelieve to be America’s favoritesport.
Normally, I do not feel strong-ly about this sort of an issue,especially since I never playedfootball and took up lacrosse for
the majority of my adolescence,but I know what it is like to haveincompetent referees causemajor problems in a game.
Most of the problems the NFLis dealing with when concerningits replacement referees involvemisjudged calls.
An example of this is an issuethat arose in the Broncos’Monday Night Football gameagainst Atlanta when Denverclearly came up with the ball aftera fumble, but the Falcons wereawarded the ball instead.
That game even lasted morethan three-and-a-half hoursbecause after what seemed likeeach call, the referees wouldgather on the field to have adebate with one another anddecide on the correct (usuallyincorrect) call.
Some of the referees who havebeen officiating the games havebeen fans of certain teams play-ing in the games they are officiat-ing and have even spoken toplayers about fantasy leagues. Tome, this is appalling.
There should be no bias whenit comes to officiating a sport.The issue of a fair game is alreadydisputed enough when replace-ment refs, who are not makingaccurate calls nor seem to have afull grasp of the NFL rules, are noton the field. I’m not a fan of feel-ing it necessary to ‘bash’ thesereferees, but the fact of the matteris that they are not performing ina manner that is suitable to theNFL’s level of play.
Also, and this is one of themore sickening facts I havefound about this issue, the fact
that coaches and players are notallowed to speak out againstthese referees without gettingheavily fined is deplorable. Oneof the most important thingsanybody can do in regard totheir occupation is be able totake criticism.
Criticism, especially whenapplied constructively, can beextremely helpful. Instead,Commissioner Roger Goodellseems to be hiding from what heknows is a tenuous situationrather than facing it.
Facing this situation beginsand ends with paying the regularofficials and getting them backwhere they belong: On the field.

CIE hosts study abroad fair at UCKELLY RAGAN
Lively music erupted fromthe west lawn of theUniversity CenterWednesday at the WorldExpo and Study Abroad Fair.
Various food and drinksamples from around theworld offered a unique tasteof cultures and demonstratedthe wonderful diversity ofUNC study abroad programs.From Central America, SouthAmerica, Europe, Asia andAfrica, there are options inalmost every corner of theglobe.
Center for InternationalEducation (CIE) not only pro-vides students with an oppor-tunity to travel abroad, but itcan also provide students withthe means. The Passport Officeis located in UC room 2205and is open from 8 a.m.-4:30p.m. Monday through Friday.
“I wanted to help people
have as much fun abroad as Idid,” said Lexi Clifford, a sen-ior history major.
Clifford studied in bothGermany and South Korea,with nothing but good experi-ences about both trips.
UNC is one of fewer han50 universities in the nationthat makes it possible forpassports to be obtainedthrough the school.Goabroad.com also had abooth at the fair informingstudents that it can providematches and scholarships tofit a student’s needs in one ofthe company’s 27,000 pro-grams.
“I lived oversees in highschool,” said Emily Andrade,a biology and pre-med major.“It got me interested in othercultures, and I’ve always beenfascinated.”
Different environmentsprovide new and excitingavenues for learning. A stu-
dent, regardless of area ofstudy, could undoubtedlyfind rich stimulation in loca-tions outside of the UnitedStates. Students studying inGreeley from around theworld were present at theStudy Abroad Fair as well,representing their homecountry.
“I always wanted to checkout Colorado,” said AtilSveinsson, a second-year stu-dent receiving a master’sdegree in sport and exercisescience. “I saw they had acancer research center, so Ijust jumped on it.”
Whether a student lovesthe ocean, the mountains orthe city life, UNC has a studyabroad program to fit him orher.

CUFI talks effects of radical Islam ENRIQUE SANDOVAL
The documentary“Obsession: RadicalIslam’s War Against theWest” highlighted thethreats of Islamic funda-mentalism and was host-ed by Christians UnitedFor Israel (CUFI)Wednesday. The filmpromotes awarenessabout Islam to UNC stu-dents and faculty.
Attendees were treat-ed to homemade honeycake and other tradition-al Rosh Hashanah treats,which ended the nightbefore. The film dis-played intense and pow-erful images, illuminat-ing strong political mes-sages and propagandaabout radical Islam.
The film also dis-cussed the threats of
Islamic fundamentalism.CUFI, an on-campusclub, hosted the event inRoss Hall.
President of the club,Shayna Galasso, informedattendees about radicalIslam.
“Our purpose is to edu-cate students about what’sgoing on in Israel,”Galasso said. “And bringawareness about radicalIslam; this is a very realsubject. Pro-Islam doesnot mean we are Anti-Palestinian or Anti-Muslim.”
As the credits beganto roll, lights flickered onand club members madetheir way up to the frontof the lecture hall toengage students in con-versation about the dis-turbing and thought-provoking visuals fromthe documentary.
“It’s a very powerfulvideo,” said Ibrihim, ajunior internationalaffairs major whorequested to not have hislast name printed. “Israelhas always gone throughthat. It’s good to compareif things have gotten bet-ter.”
CUFI’s initial missionis to educate and showChristian support forIsrael. The group tries tohave an event at least oncea month. Despite the smallturn out, the club washappy to see new faces.
“As a new program,we’re doing fairly well,”said Jared Wersch, theclub’s political coordina-tor. “Any time we see anew face is always a wel-come sign. Some of ourmethods are reaching peo-ple in ways that theyhaven’t been before.”

Student Senate Committee Update
TOMMY SIMMONS [email protected]
Bus companies aredoing brisk business onthe UNC campus. That’sbecause last year the bussystem on campus, a partof the Greeley-EvansTransit (GET), gaveupward of 23,000 rides toUNC students, whichequates to just less than800 rides per week.
“I have little confi-dence in these numbers,”said Ron Eberhard, thedirector of Parking andTransit Services for theUniversity of NorthernColorado.
The Bear BusCommittee negotiatesbus rides for UNC stu-dents and bus routesacross campus. Most peo-ple at the committeemeeting Wednesday at
the Student Senate officein the University Centerwere skeptical of thenumbers GET had put for-ward for rides it gave UNCstudents.
The real issue, though,is that UNC’s contractwith GET allows thetransportation companyto charge the collegemore if buses give morerides to students.
No member of theBear Bus Committee wasagainst paying for servic-es that UNC students use,but most of the commit-tee members wanted tosee some sort of proofthat GET was really giving23,000 rides to UNC stu-dents.
GET has no officialrecord of the number ofrides it gives students,because there is no card-swipe system. Technically,
bus drivers are supposedto ask to see a UNC stu-dent’s ID and then markthem down on a note pad,but that hasn’t been thecase.
“(Bus drivers) don’thave any incentive tokeep track,” Eberhardsaid. “They’ve told methat if a kid looks like aUNC student, they letthem ride.”
Given that Greeley isfull of high school stu-dents and alumni whocould also look like UNCstudents, this could posea potential problem. TheBear Bus Committee feltit was paying for some-thing that was not well-researched or well-recorded. What it boilsdown to, then, was thatlast year’s 23,0000 ridesto students were simplythe transportation com-
pany’s estimates. Not satisfied with
GET’s method of keepingtrack of its rides,Wednesday night’s meet-ing was about findingalternatives.
One solution was toprint off vouchers for stu-dents to show when theyrode with GET. Studentswould be given vouchersfor rides and then givethem to the bus drivers.This would provide hard,physical evidence of howmany rides the buses arereally giving. This wasperhaps the best-receivedoption the committeefound, although such ameasure would have to bevoted on by StudentSenate first.
Other ideas includedcontracting with anotherbus company, or else hav-ing a University-run bus
system. This presents itsown set of problems,though — for starters, it isa huge financial issue.
“University of NewMexico is one of the fewcolleges doing bus rides ontheir own,” Eberhard said.“They like it, but they’retwice our size, whichmakes a big difference.”
What does this meanfor the average student?It means the bus systemmight change in the nextyear. This year’s bus con-tract is in effect, and thecommittee’s goal isalways to provide stu-dents with the most effec-tive service it can. As wasstated at the meeting, thecommittee wants stu-dents to be able to gowhere they need to go.The committee just wantto do it as efficiently aspossible.

“Max Doodle” drawings debut in Oak Room Gallery
SARAH [email protected]
A beautiful day inGreeley made it easy forstudents and communitymembers to enjoy lunchWednesday while listen-ing to the sounds ofUNC’s Jazz in the Gardenconcert.
The University ofNorthern Colorado’s fourlab jazz bands accompa-nied audiences from 11a.m.-2 p.m. on the lawn in
front of the UNC GardenTheater. The come and goambiance included morethan 100 people.
Most lounged undercentral campus’ largetrees as the UNC’s Jazzprogram introduced itselfin its first concert of thesemester.
“So far, we’ve reallycome along,” said second-year master’s student EricJordan. “This is more thana concert. This is a profes-sional gig.”
UNC’s jazz lab band I
followed band II to openthe concert. The brassytrombones tickled theunderbelly of a steady bassbeat in a piece by BobBrookmeyer.
“I really enjoy jazz,”said senior graphic designmajor Carissa Pierce. “Iused to play, and it has aspecial place in my heart. Icouldn’t think of anythingbetter to do than to comeand eat my lunch on thislawn. I like the variety ofmusic they play. I like thatthey are touching on more
modern pieces. It is nicefor the audience that theyare touching on newmaterial.”
Some songs were strict-ly performed during thegarden concert, whereas,others will be played inperformances to come.
“We perform in the gar-den because it is a moreaccessible opportunity forpeople who are not famil-iar with jazz to bring lunchand enjoy some music,”Associate Director of JazzStudies Kelsey Shiba said.
Brass shrills quicklydescended toward softerinstrumental chatter inthe tune “Little Old Lady”by Hoagy Carmichael andarranged by John Clayton.
“I find (the song) to bea little ironic because themelody is mysterious, butthe title is innocent,” saidCory Swift, a senior musiceducation major and thetrumpet soloist in theCarmichael piece. “It wasgreat to play outside. Icouldn’t ask for anythingbetter.”

The art display inCrabbe Hall has quite theunusual story behind it.Unlike most of the artthat goes on display, thepieces featured in the OakRoom Gallery are consid-ered to be simply some-one’s doodles.
The display, titled“Max Doodle,” has cov-ered the walls with morethan 50 uniquely differentpieces. Each carries itsown theme and feel.
“I was surprised by theintricacies of his art-work,” said CarolynScheple, a freshman geol-ogy major, of artist ChrisLester’s work. “I’m sur-prised by how each curve,line, and area of shadingjigsaws to fit into anothersection of the page.”
Some pieces contain alarger image made up ofvery detailed smallerdesigns, while others con-tain a mix of random pat-terns and colors that fillup every inch of space.
For the last 20 years,Lester has been doodlingduring his free time forhis own enjoyment,unknown even to his wifeand son until this pastyear. Lester, who lives inFort Collins and worksfull-time as an electricaldesigner for a NorthernColorado engineeringfirm, was connected toUNC through his son,Matthew Fischer, a soph-omore design technologystudent.
“My son likes what I doand showed it to his artteacher, CeCe Wire, andshe liked it as well andthen passed it on to Joan(Shannon-Miller) who isthe director of exhibits atUNC,” Lester said. “It wassurprising to have art pro-fessionals appreciate mywork and think it worthyof being put on publicdisplay.”
While most pieces ondisplay are on eithergraph or lined paper,Lester has also used legalpad, scratch paper andeven sticky notes. Gelballpoint pens in blue,
black or red ink are usedmost of the time, but pen-cils and markers are alsoused.
“I will continue creat-ing my doodles as long asI still enjoy doing it,”Lester said. “I’d like toshow it some more, butI’m not much of a selfpromoter, so it will be achallenge to get outthere.”
His doodling hasalways been created for
himself and not for pur-poses of making money,Lester said.
“The exhibit has beengreat,” he said. “I neverthought I would evershow my work publiclyand (I) really appreciatethe hard work of Joan andher students for puttingthe exhibit together.”
“Max Doodle” is cur-rently on display in theOak Room Gallery inCrabbe Hall until Oct. 20.

After dropping a closecontest to SacramentoState on Saturday, the UNCfootball team travels toMontana State for its firsttaste of Big Sky action thisseason.
Defense will have to bethe name of the game forthe University ofNorthern Colorado thisweekend, as the No. 2Bobcats boast juniorquarterback DeNariusMcGhee, who can run andthrow with the best of
them, as well as widereceiver Tanner Bleskin,who averages more than100 yards per contest.
UNC head coachEarnest Collins Jr. said heknows Saturday’s show-down will be tough, but theteam will be ready to per-form.
“You don’t have to sayanything to get guyspumped up to play foot-ball,” Collins said. “Theyknow the deal. It’s not likeyou go into an office and sitbehind a cubicle. You’regoing to play football, andif you don’t get pumped up
on game day, you should-n’t be playing this sport.”
Senior defensive backMarcel Gibbons said hisexperience playingMcGhee the past two sea-sons will help him onSaturday.
“He has a cannon onhim, and he knows how tomove,” Gibbons said.“But I’ve played againsthim two times in the past,and we’ve bottled him upand played really closegames against him. Youhit him once, or a coupleof times, and someone’snot as comfortable as
they usually are.”Gibbons was also quick
to give the rest of hisdefense credit, saying theBears are much improvedon that side of the footballthis season.
“With our linebackerswe have this year, it’s beenvery hard to run the ballagainst us,” Gibbons said.“Our pass rushers, they’reathletic and they knowwhat they’re doing.They’re smart. It compli-ments us and makes usmore comfortable in thesecondary. (We) just stayover top and let the frontseven do their business.”
Junior linebackerClarence Bumpas echoedthose sentiments, saying ifthe defense can stayfocused, a win will beinevitable.
“It’s all about focus,”Bumpas said. “We had acouple of missed opportu-nities (against SacramentoState), and basically whatwe have to do is, we have tofocus on causingturnovers. If we can causeturnovers on this team,there’s no reason we
shouldn’t come out on top.If we stay focused, causeturnovers, pick up the balland catch those missedopportunities, no one candeny us.”
UNC and the Bobcatskick off at 2:05 p.m. Saturdayin Bozeman, Mont.
Bumpas also said thatany team is vulnerable,and the Bears wants to
show that during the game.“They’re definitely one
of the most solid teamswe’ll face this season,”Bumpas said. “However,everybody can fall at anygiven time, at any flip of thecoin. You heard aboutDavid and Goliath? We’reDavid, and we’re shooting.”

After playing at homefor the first two matchesof the Big Sky Conferenceportion of the schedule,the UNC volleyball team
prepares for its first roadtest of league teams thisweekend.
The first match will beagainst Idaho State wherethe University ofNorthern Colorado willtake on the Bengals at 7p.m. tonight in Pocatello,Idaho. The road trip con-tinues with a 4 p.m.match Saturday againstWeber State in Ogden,Utah.
The Bears (9-2, 2-0 BigSky) have not left theirhome court since playingin the BelmontInvitational Aug. 24-25.Head coach LyndseyOates said she is excitedto be on the road again,and she thinks the playersare too.
“I’m looking forwardto traveling,” Oates said.“They’re a fun group to bewith on the road. You getto build that team chem-istry a little bit on theroad moreso than you doat home where there areother distractions. So asnice as it was to play somany matches here at
Butler, I think our team isreally looking forward togetting on the road.”
Idaho State (8-3, 2-0)will offer the Bears adefensive challenge, apredicament Oates said
she is well aware of.“They have a good
aggressive setter, andthey’re scrappy,” Oatessaid. “They are going tobe tough to score against.Defensively they pick upeverything, so they aregoing to be one of ourtoughest matches of theyear.”
Weber State (6-8, 0-3)has not had as much suc-cess as the Bengals so farthis season. Despite theWildcats losing their firstthree conference matchesof the year, UNC senioroutside hitter KelleyArnold said she does notwant to take Weber Statelightly.
“I think for any team,regardless of who theyare, you don’t want tounderestimate them, soyou always want to go inexpecting that they’regoing to play the bestmatch that they’re evergoing to play,” saidArnold, who was namedBig Sky Player of theWeek last week. “We’renot going to do anything
different than practicejust as hard as if we wereplaying one our biggestrivals or just a top-50team.”
UNC has been workinghard on team defense thisweek, and sophomoremiddle blocker AndreaSpaustat said practice hasbeen focused on blockingand covering hitters.
“We’re hoping to justimprove a lot in blockingand go up in our blockingstats and just improve allaround in that area,”Spaustat said. “We’re agood offensive team, andwe’re a good servingteam, but we really wantto improve in thoseareas.”
After this road trip, theBears return home for amatch at 7 p.m. Thursday,Sept. 27 at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilionto face Sacramento State.

UNC senior widereceiver Dominic Gunnhas been standing on hisown as the team’s puntand kick return specialistduring his time in Greeley.
But now he is expectedto be an example for agroup of receivers that isdeep but lacks a veteranleader.
Last year, theUniversity of NorthernColorado had a reliablewide out in PatrickWalker, but he graduatedin May. Gunn is the most
experienced player in thereceiving corps this sea-son, and he has steppedup to take that leadershiprole the group needs.
“Dom really steppedup and took that roleupon himself,” sopho-more receiver MarcellPeoples said. “I think heworked like that leader heshould be all summer andall camp. It was just one ofthose things he kept work-ing toward. We really fol-low him, and he reallyteaches us a lot at thereceiver spot. I’m only ayoung guy, so I can get alot of information fromhim because he’s been
around here a lot.”Wide receivers coach
Keith Grable also said hehas seen a positive changein Gunn this season.
“He’s paid closerattention to details,”Grable said. “He under-stands the offense a littlebetter now, but I thinkjust the overall details ofthe game has helped gethim to where he is today.Having Patrick Walkergone, we need anotherguy to step up and carrythe load, so the next guy’s
got to be ready, and Ithink he understands thatand has done that for us.”
Gunn said he hasundertaken the role of anadviser for the youngerreceivers in hopes of help-ing them improve andcontribute to the Bears’success this season.
“It’s kind of weirdbeing the old guy now onthe team, but when theyounger guys ask, I’ll helpthem out, or if they messup on the field, I’ll givethem a couple tips to helpthem out,” Gunn said. “Ithink my role has steppedup a little bit as a leaderand as a senior.”
Throughout his time atUNC, Gunn has been adynamic returner, jump-ing up the charts of schoolrecords for both careerand single-season kickreturn yardage and puntreturn yardage. DuringSaturday’s loss atSacramento State, heonce again demonstratedhis prowess in the returngame, with 77 kick returnyards and a 74-yard puntreturn for a touchdown.His 196 all-purpose yardsagainst the Hornets puthim at 3,094 career all-purpose yards.
Gunn said he is relaxed
in his role as the return spe-cialist, and he believes thathelps him be successful.
“I think it’s just confi-dence,” he said. “I’ve beendoing it over the years.Returning is something Itake to heart, and I wantto be good at that, so Ireally concentrate on that.Being my senior seasonand doing it so long, I’mreally just relaxed outthere.”
Perhaps with his new-found attention to detail,he can become morecomfortable lining up atthe line of scrimmage andbe a top receiver for theBears in his final season.

The UNC soccer teamwill open Big SkyConference play thisweekend with two homematches at JacksonStadium.
Tonight, the Universityof Northern Colorado (2-4-2) takes on the Vikingsof Portland State (2-5-1).Then, on Sunday, the
Bears take on SacramentoState (2-4-2) to cap off theweekend.
Last weekend, UNCrebounded from a Fridayloss at Drake to earn a 1-1draw on the road againstNebraska. Head coachTim Barrera said he thinkshis team will benefitimmediately from playinga bigger, more athletic Big10 team in Nebraska.
“It helps us in our nextgame,” Barrera said of the
benefits of playing schoolsfrom bigger conferences.“Portland State is going totry to pressure usand squeeze us, soto be able to playout of pressureagainst Nebraskawill help us hereagainst PortlandState.”
P o r t l a n dState has scoredonly five goalsthis season but has scored
two in each of its wins. Itgoes without saying, then,that the Bears need to
keep the ball outof their own net,especially consid-ering the Vikingshave not allowedmore than twogoals in a gamethis year. UNC
senior goal-keeper NatalieD’Adamio said
she believes ball posses-sion is paramount in beingsuccessful defensively.
“With the defenseespecially, if we have onemistake, it’s a goal,”D’Adamio said. “Forwardscan pass the ball to theirdefenders, and it’s just apass to the other team,whereas if we make onemistake, it’s a goal. We tryour hardest to be pictureperfect every time.”
Senior defenderAundreah Martinez, whowas the 2011 Big SkyDefensive MVP, said com-munication is key when it
comes to keeping the ballout of the net.
“If we do make mis-takes, we know what wedid wrong because of thelack of communication,”Martinez said. “It comesback to communication.Every one of the mistakeswe have comes down totalking.”
In Sunday’s contest,it’s likely that the Bearswill look to jump on theHornets early. SacramentoState has given up fourgoals twice in non-confer-ence play, so an early leadcould open up moreopportunities for UNC.
Regardless of strategy,Barrera said he is tellinghis team to keep the bigpicture in mind.
“We are defendingchamps, and we fell shortin the conference tourna-ment (last season),” hesaid. “So we need to take iteach game at a time butknowing that the goal is towin the regular season so
we can host the conferencetournament, which gives usthe best chance to win theconference tournament togo play in the NCAATournament.”
The Bears facePortland State at 7 p.m.tonight and welcomeSacramento State at noonSunday. Both games are atJackson Field.
