WVU’s chapter of Sigma Phi Ep-silon had its charter revoked by its national headquarters, and former members will be evicted from its house at the end of the semester.

The national headquarters wrote in a Tuesday statement that in the last 18 months, the West Virginia Beta chapter had violated the law and fraternity and University pol-icies “time and time again,” bring-ing both member and guest safety into question.

Since January 2018, these viola-tions led the fraternity to cease op-erations multiple times to ensure safety, investigate the concerns, take action and provide support to facilitate cultural change in the chapter, according to the statement.

“They have shown that they care more about being a Morgan-town drinking club than they do about SigEp’s mission and devel-oping balanced men,” said SigEp CEO Brian Warren in the statement. “That is simply not the experience we seek to provide.”

“SigEp’s purpose is to develop balanced men who make a differ-ence in their communities, and we expect chapters and their mem-bers to act in accordance with our values,” Warren said in a Monday statement. “In this case, members have repeatedly and knowingly vi-olated the law and the Fraterni-ty’s and University’s policies on risk management and substance abuse. When the cultural issues within a chapter conflict with our values and are too deeply rooted to change, SigEp will act responsi-bly to ensure the safety of students and other members of the campus community.”

The fraternity’s National Board

of Directors made the decision to disband the chapter with the support of the West Virginia Beta Alumni and Volunteer Corporation and in partnership with the Uni-versity, according to the national headquarters.

The WVU chapter said on Mon-day it was disappointed in the na-tional headquarter’s decision.

Previously, the national head-quarters implemented a sub-stance-free facility bylaw, accord-ing to a press release the chapter posted on social media platforms on Monday morning. On Oct. 3, fra-ternity brothers contacted emer-gency medical services about two guests who had “shown signs of being intoxicated to the point of worry.”

“Since we’ve attended West

Virginia University we’ve been strongly encouraged to alert EMS in such concerning condition, mor-ally we did what was best for be-ing in such a situation,” the chap-ter wrote in the release.

The chapter said the revocation and eviction is happening because brothers did “what any morally conscious human being would do.”

Patrick Sheehan, the chapter president, said in a text on Mon-day afternoon that he has no com-ment. When asked for comment on Wednesday, he didn’t respond.

WVU sent the following state-ment to the Daily Athenaeum about the revocation and eviction:

West Virginia was ranked highest in adult obesity rates in the country in a new study.

According to the study, which was conducted by the Trust for America’s Health, in 2018 West Virginia had an adult obesity rate of 39.5 percent.

While this issue is statewide, it is also a concern on college campuses.

“Part of the issue is that we are on our third generation of people who don’t really know how to cook or pre-pare a healthy meal because we as a society in general have relied so heav-ily on fast food, processed food [and] convenient food,” said Gina Wood, WVU extension specialist for the fam-ily nutrition program. “Th en you have kids coming to campus and they have limited budgets. Kids are struggling, and I think food insecurity is becom-ing a bigger issue as well across the nation.”

A variety of other factors can lead to health concerns on campus as well, including easy access to un-healthy food options or stress from school.

Growing up as an athlete, Noah Clune, a senior sports and adventure media student, said his life quickly changed after sustaining an injury.

“I was an athlete through junior year of high school, I got super con-cussed, and I couldn’t play hockey anymore,” he said.

Following his injury, Clune said he fell out of an active lifestyle, started working more, and began gaining weight.

“I came to college and just had dining hall food all the time,” he said. “I was just able to eat pretty bad, so I gained a lot of weight starting then. I

wasn’t super fi t in high school but by the end of freshman year I was get-ting close to 290.”

Clune said the most challenging part about being overweight was the impact it had on his social life.

He said many of his hobbies in-volved being active and outdoors, however his weight prevented him from doing many of the things he loved.

“I couldn’t do super physical stuff ,” he said. “If my friends wanted to go out and do something it was hard to get me to go do it because one I didn’t want to and two because I couldn’t.”

Clune said while the University provides several resources for ex-ercising, including the recreational center and the Adventure West Vir-ginia program, he said the options for maintaining a healthy diet are limited.

“Th ey off er salad bars and things like that, but at the end of the day you are sitting there and have the option to eat pizza, pasta and all this good, hearty food or you could eat this salad bar it’s like, ‘What am I going to go for?’ Th ere needs to just be more health conscience options that aren’t vegetarian or vegan.”

Clune said eventually he came to the realization that his habits needed to change and completely altered his diet. After over a year of hard work and dedication, Clune lost over 100 pounds.

During his journey, he said he got back into exercising and picked mountain biking back up. In addi-tion to that, he said he found a home with Adventure West Virginia, an out-door experiential learning program off ered by WVU.

WVU updates policies on when students can withdraw from classes

BY RAEANNE BECKNERSTAFF WRITER

WVU’s Provost Aca-demic Policy Committee has changed the dates of when students can withdraw from classes and the University.

Now, the final opportunity students can withdraw from classes or from the Univer-sity is during the 13th week of the semester.

“The reasons for moving the date to withdraw from

the University forward to the same date as the course with-drawal deadline are partly for consistency and partly to encourage student success,” wrote Evan Widders, the as-sociate provost for Under-graduate Education at WVU, in an email.

Previously, the last day to withdraw from a course was during week 10 of the semes-ter, and the last day to with-draw from the University was the day before the final day of the semester.

When deciding to extend

the time frame to withdraw from a course, the Provost Academic Policy Committee thought a later date would give students more time to make a more educated decision.

“We moved the with-drawal date later so that stu-dents could make the most informed decision possible when they decided to with-draw from a course,” Widders said. “Although withdrawing from a course is not good ac-ademic practice, it is always better than receiving an F

and often better than receiv-ing a D.”

By moving up the date to withdraw from the Univer-sity, the committee believed students would be more mo-tivated to get advising help if needed.

R e t r o a c t i v e w i t h -drawal can be accepted af-ter the deadline in extreme circumstances.

WVU students will now have access to a new crisis text line, which will allow them to speak with a coun-selor in minutes by texting “WVU” to 741741.

“It’s a free 24/7 text line that supports students and more broadly anyone who is in crisis,” said T. Anne Haw-kins, clinical director at the Carruth Center. “It can be texted anywhere in the U.S. and its answered by trained

crisis counselors who are su-pervised by licensed profes-sional counselors.”

After texting in, students will receive an automated message asking what their crisis is and within minutes, a trained crisis counselor will respond live. From there, they will help students with their crisis and create a plan to follow afterwards for the students’ safety, according to the organization’s website.

“Students can expect a pretty fast response,” Haw-kins said. “Their average re-sponse is under five min-

utes and often faster than that. To date, they have had over 100 million responses processed.”

The service will be kept confidential, unless it is de-termined by a counselor that sharing information with an emergency service is neces-sary for the safety of the stu-dent, according to Crisis Text Line’s website.

“They do text with peo-ple who are struggling with suicidality and who are ex-periencing crisis, but suicid-ality is not even one of the top three issues that they ad-

dress,” Hawkins said. “The top three are depression, re-lationships and anxiety; Sui-cide is the fourth. Which, by the way, really parallels with some of the top present-ing problems with students who come to the counseling center.”

The crisis text line does not replace ongoing coun-seling, Hawkins said.

“It can augment or sup-port ongoing counseling, but if students need ongo-ing counseling, they should come to the counseling cen-ter,” Hawkins said. “Here they

can meet with a counselor, phycologist or social worker who can access them and de-velop a plan that meets their needs.”

Hawkins said that the text line will be a much more ac-cessible service for students who have anxiety about talking on the telephone.

“I also think that what is increasingly true is that peo-ple under the age of 25 prefer texting rather than convers-ing on the phone,” Haw-kins said. “I think this is an attempt to meet students where they are.”

If students receive an er-ror message or no response, this could mean that their carrier does not support the short code. If this is the case, students can access the cri-sis line through Facebook Messenger at facebook.com/crisistextline.

“We are really excited about it, and we know that when we talk to the text line folks, it’s clear that the con-versation of suicide peaks on Sunday night,” Hawkins said. “Having this 24/7 access will be really beneficial for our students.”

New crisis text line available for WVU students

In the wake of a decision by Sigma Phi Epsilon’s na-tional board of directors to

pull the charter of the fra-ternity’s West Virginia Beta chapter, West Virginia Uni-versity has also revoked the chapter’s status as a recog-nized student organization. The national office is per-mitting students who live in

the house to remain through the fall semester, but they will have to find other hous-ing after that. The Univer-sity will assist anyone who needs help finding housing.

Failure of the chapter to comply with the direction of

headquarters, alumni lead-ers, and/or staff of the Of-fice of Fraternity and Soror-ity Life may result in further disciplinary proceedings.

West Virginia University joins the national office in wishing this had not been

necessary, but the chapter’s continued violations of fra-ternity and university poli-cies and procedures left no choice. Student safety is of paramount importance.

Sigma Phi Epsilon has said it hopes to be able to

re-establish a chapter in the

future, and when or if that

happens, the Office of Fra-

ternity and Sorority Life will

assist in any way possible.

“Adventure was a big point in my life where things shifted,” he said. “I had friends I wanted to go out-side with, and I think having that welcoming community has really helped.”

Along with the health con-cerns that come with being obese, Sam Zizzi, WVU pro-fessor of sports and exercise psychology, said several mis-conceptions are attached to those who may be struggling with this disorder.

“Some people who have obesity struggle with a so-cial stigma, and they might experience negative feed-back from peers,” Zizzi said.

“Maybe peers judge them as lazy or not as smart as some-body else because of their physical stature which is sort of false. Th ere is a lot of good research out there about how to prevent that social stigma.”

For those who may be struggling with this disorder, Clune said the best thing to do to get on track to a health-ier lifestyle is to fi nd a start-ing point.

“Th e fi rst step is being not even just confi dent, but com-fortable with going out and doing it,” he said. “Being con-fi dent in yourself that you can go out and go to the gym, go outside, and even if you are not going down the mountain the fastest or going fast on the treadmill. You just have to take that fi rst step.“

August 2019• Chapter planned and staged a party with six kegs in the parking lot next to the chapter facility. This event was shut down by the police, and the Fraternity and University issued a cease of operations. In the investigation that fol-lowed, the staff and alumni volunteers made it clear that any future violation would result in a recommendation to the National Board of Directors for closure.

August 2018• Chapter offi cers planned and hosted a social event and violated Fraternity policies. They stepped down from their positions, and Headquarters staff and volunteers worked with the chapter to deliver member safety training and hold members accountable. The chapter self-imposed several sanctions — including social probation — expressing commitment to shift its culture.

2017-2018 academic year• The chapter incurred multiple police reports for violations during social events and was found to be operat-ing a slush fund to fi nance events. These concerns were addressed with the chapter by Headquarters staff and volunteers.

• Chapter members were found to be drinking during a Ritual service after the chapter tried to mislead staff that the service was not taking place. Headquarters staff and alumni worked with the standards board to hold these individuals accountable.

January 2019

February 2019• The chapter held an off -campus social event — during its self-imposed social probation — and recieved a fi re code violation. Additionally, staff became aware that members regularly posted photos of themselves drinking in their facility. With a pattern of violations evident, the Headquarters staff ceased operations, conducted an investigation,re-established expectations, and worked with the chapter to develop a plan to move forward.

2018-2019 academic year• 50 members who could not commit to a safe SigEp experience — one not based around alcohol consump-tion — resigned their membership. Members who stayed expressed they were committed to expectations.

• The chapter hosted a social event in its facility, once again violating the law and University and Fraternity policies. It has been reported that during this event, members brought guests/dates into the chapter facility, where members told their guests that they would need to split a bottle of hard alcohol and fi nish it before they could leave. Two 18-year-old female guests became intoxicated to the point of reportedly going in and out of consciousness and vomiting. Concerned for her health, one of the guest’s female friends called 911, emergency services were dispatched, and the women were taken to the hospital. We have received reports that some members asked her not to contact the authorities.

Unique local restaurants often become staples of their communities, and Black Bear Burritos is no exception.

Co-owner Jason Coff man often tells the story of how Black Bear Burritos began, starting way back from his Morgantown roots.

“I always knew I came from a long line of family members who attended and graduated from WVU,” he said. “Even family member Eli Marsh was an early president of the university.”

Coff man’s mother and fa-ther grew up in the Clarks-burg area, and both ended up attending WVU together. Mov-ing into their second year of undergrad, the couple found out they were pregnant with their fi rst child.

Despite the adversity they faced from their families, the two got married in Oakland,

Maryland. Th ey were deter-mined to have a child and fi n-ish school.

Coffman’s father was a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, and his broth-ers assisted the couple when they needed help taking care of their fi rst son. Th ey would babysit and change diapers, giving the couple the aid they needed to balance school and parenthood.

Years later, Coffman at-tended West Virginia Uni-versity himself, moving away with his wife after graduation. Upon his return, he and his college roommate, Matt Show-alter, decided to invest in the former bar, Fallstaff ’s, and be-gin renovations to create the restaurant.

Coff man’s father and older brother started working to-gether at their commercial contracting business, Phoenix

Associates. His crew could not make it to the new store loca-tion to help with renovations, but Coff man sought guidance from his father when building the restaurant.

Once he was able to re-turn to Morgantown to guide his son in the process, Coff -man’s father arrived at the lo-cation, grinning knowingly. “I thought it was going to be a

case of hearing my father tell me I made an irresponsible decision,” Coff man stated.

On the contrary -- rather, this building held more his-tory for the Coff man family than he had realized. His fa-ther smiled and said, “I guar-antee, your brother was con-ceived upstairs!”

“So while I thought that was a little bit too much informa-

tion,” Coff man said, “we felt that this was a good omen, and that we had made the right decision.”

A good omen it was, since its grand opening in 2003, Black Bear has broadened its horizons. It now serves at two locations, one on Down-town campus and one on Evansdale.

Both locations host lo-cal musicians for no extra cover charge. As well as mu-sic, handmade art is displayed along the walls from local art-ists such as Eddie Spaghetti.

Like its two locations, the restaurant has also broadened its menu. It appeals to college students and local foodies alike, expanding on the tradi-tional Mexican style burritos, nachos, and quesadillas to in-clude non-traditional stroll-ers and sometimes even craft burgers.

Word of incident continues with O’Neal more than a year laterBY SETH MITCHELL

STAFF WRITER

It was a little more than a year ago when Dave O’Neal gained recognition across campus and beyond when a photograph of him in a hos-pital gown at the 2018 Home-coming football game went vi-ral on the internet.

“I’d get up to go get a beer, and I’d have people walking up to take pictures with me ev-erywhere,” O’Neal said. “I had a friend all the way up at the Virginia Tech game who texted me, ‘What’s wrong with you? What happened?’”

O’Neal attended WVU from 1983 to 1990, pursuing a doc-torate from the dental school. Having played trumpet in Th e Pride of West Virginia, O’Neal is now self-employed at his own dental practice in Mary-land, and is one of the offi cers of the WVU Alumni Band.

O’Neal’s story began when he, after experiencing stom-ach pains, chills and bouts of dry heaving, was scheduled to have an emergency ap-pendectomy on the same day he had intended to march with the Alumni Band in the Homecoming parade.

Having recovered enough

to be released the following morning, O’Neal decided to make the most out of the sit-uation and regain the party-ing he had missed with his old friends the previous night. Wearing his hospital gown over light clothing, O’Neal simply walked over to the nearby football game.

“It was so funny,” he said, “I just wanted to go to the game. I got out of the hospital and just walked right across the road. I felt fi ne, but I had people walking up to me all day, say-ing I should go back to treat-ment. Th ey thought I had gone AWOL from the hospital.”

Despite a year having passed since the hilarious in-cident, word of it still travels with him to this day. One in-cident O’Neal described had him being asked about it in a board meeting all the way in Seattle, from a man represent-ing the University of Georgia.

“I wasn’t in there for more than 10 seconds before he walked up and asked, ‘Aren’t you that guy in the gown?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, that’s me.’ I get recognized all the time in weird places — it happens very often.”

O’Neal still has the hospi-tal gown that made him inter-net famous, which he wore to practice for the Alumni Band

on Oct. 5. He originally wanted to wear it in the Homecoming parade the previous day, but decided against it when he learned that he and his fellow offi cers were to march along-side those who had been nom-inated as outstanding alumni, all wearing the same shirt.

O’Neal is proud to be a member of his band, and he emphasized the impact it had on him and his social life.

“To this day, I still have rou-tine patients of mine who’re old friends from back when we played in the band together,” O’Neal said. “I know several people who’ve found and kept strong connections just by be-ing a part of it.”

Having only happy mem-ories involving the incident, O’Neal has also suff ered no further complications related to the emergency surgery. He attributed this to Ruby Medi-cal’s skilled practitioners.

“I was really impressed by the care I got at Ruby,” he said. “I’m really critical when it comes to cleanliness and ef-fi ciency, being in the medical fi eld myself, and they did not disappoint.”

He considers it but one more of the countless reasons he has to keep coming back to Morgantown.

“I love WVU. I try to always

have an excuse to come back here and do something, no matter what,” O’Neal said in an inteview a couple weeks after the 2019 Homecoming. “I honestly think I’m going through Homecoming with-drawal right now; there’s just nothing to do around here!”

Second annual Zombie Run to take place at Core Arboretum

BY KAELI RICOTTILLICORRESPONDENT

Th e WVU Exercise Physi-ology Club will be hosting its second annual Zombie Run at the Core Arboretum on Saturday.

Th e Zombie Run will stretch across 2.5 kilometers of trails in the Core Arboretum. “Zom-bies” will be hiding through-out the course, and runners will be provided with fl ag foot-ball fl ags that they must keep the zombies from stealing.

Pets are not only allowed, but encouraged, and there will be a best dressed pet contest with a special prize going to the winner.

Lauren Rentz, an offi cer in the Exercise Physiology Club, started the event last year as a way to support the Core Arbo-retum while promoting health and physical activity.

“Our club strives to get stu-dents involved with the com-munity through a variety of events to not only build on the skills of the students at WVU, but also benefi t the commu-nity the best we can,” Rentz said.

Rentz said that upkeep of the Core Arboretum is vital as it gives the community a safe and convenient place to exer-cise outdoors.

Proceeds from last year’s Zombie Run paid for the 5k trail marking signs that are now set up along the Core Ar-boretum trail. While the club

has an idea of what it would like to do with this year’s pro-ceeds, Rentz said it depends on how much money the event actually brings in.

Rentz is optimistic about this year’s Zombie Run as 56 runners participated in last year’s race. As of now, they are expecting around 100 partici-pants in this year’s run and do-nations have already doubled compared to last year.

Rentz also hopes that the zombie theme will encourage the community to exercise by adding a fun element to it.

“I think novelty and cre-ativity is so important and is a great way to make exer-cise seem less like exercise,” she said. “A huge barrier peo-ple have with physical activ-ity is their mentality; exercise seems boring to a lot of peo-ple, and they struggle to make themselves get in their recom-mended 90 minutes of exer-cise a few times a week.”

Rentz added that the club is very thankful for the sup-port they have received from the community and local busi-nesses while making this event happen.

Race day registration will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the run starting at 5:30 p.m. Reg-istration for the race is $25 and includes refreshments and a t-shirt.

Participants can preregister for the race by going to https://runsignup.com/Race/WV/Morgantown/zombierun2019.

Have you ever had a pecu-liar experience on campus — like hearing the faint sounds of a cow mooing near Woodburn Hall or catching a glimpse of a little girl skipping around the corridors of the Mountainlair?

With more than 150 years of history, there’s bound to be a few past residents roaming around WVU’s campus, and the Daily Athenaeum’s new-est podcast series looks to tell their stories. Starting Oct. 21 and running every Monday through Nov. 18, you’ll hear these urban legends and ghost stories in “Th e Haunted Halls of WVU.” Each week, Appala-chian Storyteller Jason Burns will join us to help uncover these stories of real WVU his-torical figures and places. Th ese stories have been fl oat-ing around campus for many years, begging to be remem-bered, and Burns has become their keeper.

In the coming weeks, you’ll

learn about Elizabeth Moore, the late principal of the Wood-burn Female Seminary, whose presence on campus was so strong in life, she still lingers today in the building bearing her name. Or Sally, a little girl who died from a Typhoid epi-

Not to rain on any parades, but Morgantown has too many parades.

Why are there individ-ual Homecoming parades for Morgantown High School, University High School and WVU?

Th e MHS Homecoming pa-rade is Th ursday. Th e Univer-sity High School one was last Th ursday. Th e WVU one was on Oct. 4.

High school groups are al-ready involved in the WVU parade anyway. So having one collective one that holds up traffi c and and takes up park-ing for only one night is sensi-cal and effi cient.

Th is would make for a great parade and a great amount of candy for those attending.

Time and time again, driv-ers have waited at a green light at the intersection of Willey Street and Spruce Street.

Why? The driver closest to the light – facing toward the direction of the Alpha Phi sorority house – wants to take a left onto the one-way Spruce Street. This is diffi-cult to pull off, as the driver must squeeze through the stream of cars coming down Willey Street in the opposite direction. It’s also a com-pletely unnecessary ma-neuver if you’re not aiming to park in the relatively few spots between Alpha Phi and the Center for Black Research and Culture building.

Most drivers don’t need to park or stop on this segment of the road, instead driving on up Sprue Street or going on to take a left on Prospect Street. In this case, that left the driver took, which held up traffic for who knows how long, was not needed.

Instead of stopping at the intersection of Willey Street and Spruce Street, head on up Willey and take a left on Prospect Street when you reach Arnold Hall. There’s a separate lane for left turns there, thus ensuring no traf-fic is obstructed.

Driver: Don’t make that left turn

While last year’s matchup between West Virginia and Oklahoma was considered one of the premier games of the Big 12 Conference season, this year’s matchup comes with much less fanfare.

Despite that, this is still a critical game for the Moun-taineers, as an upset victory over Oklahoma would do wonders in keeping WVU’s bowl game hopes alive.

WVU (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) will travel to Norman, Oklahoma, in order to take on the No. 5 Sooners on Saturday after dropping its last two games: Oct. 5 vs. Texas and Oct. 12 vs. Iowa State.

“If you look at their football team, they’ve got a complete football team,” West Virginia head coach Neal Brown said. “They’re playing well in all three phases right now.”

Coming out on top will be easier said than done for West Virginia as the Mountaineers will go head-to-head with one of the most effective offenses in the nation.

Led by quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma (6-0, 3-0) ranks first in the country it has averaged 9.56 yards per play over its first six games. Additionally, the Sooners are also third in the NCAA in points per game — averaging slightly more than 50 points per game this season.

“[Hurts] is a smart football player,” West Virginia defen-sive coordinator Vic Koen-ning said. “He throws the ball well, he runs the ball — he runs it as good as any run-ning back.”

Outside of Hurts, the Okla-homa offense has been led by strong play from wide re-ceiver CeeDee Lamb. Over his six appearances this season, the junior has hauled in 28 re-ceptions for 610 yards and 10 touchdowns, leaving him tied for the nation’s lead in receiv-ing touchdowns.

The offensive line is also a big strength for the Sooners. Despite losing four of the five starters on last season’s unit, this season’s Oklahoma offen-sive line is tied for third in the NCAA in sacks allowed. Se-nior center Creed Humphrey is a member of the Rimington

Trophy Watchlist, awarded to the top center in the nation.

Defensively, the Sooners feature a group that is one of the nation’s most successful on third down, ranking ninth in the country. Additionally, the unit ranks fourth in the Big 12 in total defense.

Junior linebacker Kenneth Murray leads the team in tackles with 42, ranking no. 10 in the Big 12. In the second-ary, senior cornerback Par-nell Motley ranks first on the team in passes defended with six. On the defensive line, red-shirt senior Neville Gallimore has forced two fumbles.

While the Sooners them-selves create a host of issues for the Mountaineers to ad-dress, West Virginia still has a variety of its own personal concerns.

For one, it is unknown who will start at quarterback for the Mountaineers. Starter Austin Kendall left Saturday’s 38-14 loss against Iowa State with a chest injury. Redshirt junior Jack Allison, who re-placed Kendall, threw for 140 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Kendall’s absence.

Additionally, the team features personnel concerns on the defensive front. Red-shirt senior cornerback Keith Washington II is currently working through a muscle in-jury, while fellow cornerback Hakeem Bailey will be out for the first half of Saturday’s game after being ejected for targeting against Iowa State.

VanDarius Cowan, who received playing time at the bandit position in two games after returning from a four-game suspension, is also out with an injury. The knee in-jury he suffered on Saturday will sideline him for the rest of the season.

Despite the issues, Brown says that the season is not yet lost.

“We’ve had back-to-back home losses here,” Brown said. “We’re disappointed, but it’s not doom and gloom in this building, I’ll say that. Not down and out.”

Saturday’s game against the Sooners will kick off at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at noon. The game will be televised on FOX.

Announced Wednesday morning, WVU freshman Os-car Tshiebwe and sophomore Derek Culver earned recogni-tion in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll.

The second McDonald’s All-American to come to Morgantown, Tshiebwe was tabbed as the Big 12’s Pre-season Freshman of the Year. Culver was listed as an hon-orable mention for the All-Big 12 team.

As s senior at Kennedy Cath-olic High School, Tshiebwe av-eraged 23.2 points per game en route to a 27-3 record and a 6A State Title. Coming out of the same high school as

Sagaba Konate, Tshiebwe looks to be Konate’s replace-ment in WVU’s frontcourt.

During last week’s Gold-Blue game, Tshiebwe played 32 minutes, scoring 15 points on 7-of-11 shooting while pull-ing down 11 rebounds. WVU coach Bob Huggins said that Tshiebwe’s natural talent is a good foundation for him to improve upon.

“Th e thing about Oscar is, Oscar wants to be good,” Hug-gins said following the Gold-Blue game. “Oscar’s not ad-versed to getting practice tape. He’ll get this tape and he’ll watch this tape and get better from that, without any-body coaching him through it.”

After being suspended for the beginning of the season, Culver came back to lead the team and conference in re-

bounding. Culver pulled down 258 total rebounds and aver-aged 9.9 per game.

Culver played 25 minutes in the Gold-Blue game, scoring 15 points on 7-of-13 scoring, but pulled down only three rebounds. After a practice last week, Huggins said that Culver has improved since last sea-son, but needs to play more controlled.

“I think he’s gotten better at everything,” Huggins said. “Obviously he had to cut down on his turnovers and I think, of all the people, he’s proba-bly made the most progress at that. We’ve just got to get him to slow down.”

The Mountaineers open the season with an exhibi-tion game against Duquesne at home on Nov. 1.

On Thursday, West Vir-ginia will host the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Th is is the fi rst match since WVU lost to No. 14 Texas Tech on Oct. 10, 1-0.

Despite the loss, West Vir-ginia head coach Nikki Iz-zo-Brown was proud with how her team fought against a top-25 opponent.

“That was a tough one. I thought we battled hard against the No. 14 team in the country,” Izzo-Brown said. “Unfortunately, we just couldn’t fi nd the back of the net and (Texas) Tech fi nished tonight. But I was proud of the way this team battled.”

WVU (7-5-1, 2-2 Big 12) has struggled since starting con-ference play as it is currently tied for No. 7 in the confer-ence. OK State currently sits at second in the Big 12.

Oklahoma State (10-1-3, 3-1-1) is on a three-game winning streak after beat-ing, Kansas, Kansas State and Texas. West Virginia has yet to win back-to-back conference

matches.Despite struggling on the

road, the Mountaineers have been dominant at home, going 6-1-1 with the lone loss com-ing against the Red Raiders.

Th e Mountaineers have had their way with the Cowboys

since joining the Big 12, go-ing 9-0. West Virginia has out-scored Oklahoma State 16-5 in combined matches in the series.

Th ursday’s match is the be-ginning of an important week-end for WVU as it will also play

Oklahoma on Sunday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Okla-homa is 7-5-3 on the season and 2-2-1 overall.

Th ursday night’s match is set to begin at 7 p.m. and can be seen on FOX Sports.

Th e West Virginia football team has appeared in a bowl game in each of its last fi ve seasons; however that streak may come to an end this year.

While 40 bowl games will be played to conclude the 2019 college football season, WVU may struggle to put itself in a position to be eligible to participate.

Since the beginning of the season, West Virginia has fallen out of bowl projections from national pundits.

The Mountaineers cur-rently hold a record of 3-3 at the midway point of their 12 game schedule. Th ey will have to win three of their remaining six games in order to go bowl-ing, according to NCAA rules.

That is much easier said than done. In its final six games, West Virginia will take on two teams that were na-tionally ranked in the Oct. 13 issue of the AP Top 25 poll, as well as four other teams with varying strengths.

Oklahoma currently ranked as No. 6, is the next team the Mountaineers will face as the two teams will match-up on Oct. 19.

The Sooners are led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, a Heisman Trophy candidate, who leads the Big 12 in total off ense with slightly less than 400 yards separating him and second place. Hurts, with the help of junior wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and the rest of the receiving corps, has the second highest passing effi -ciency (215.9) in the country.

Oklahoma currently holds a 6-0 record this season and, outside of a loss in last sea-son’s Orange Bowl, has won 13 straight games.

The other ranked team, No. 18 Baylor, has also started its 2019 season undefeated. Charlie Brewer, the team’s starting quarterback, is cur-rently fourth in the Big 12 in

average passing yards per game with 259.

Against the remaining four teams on West Virginia’s schedule, the Mountaineers may have a better chance as the group has a combined re-cord of 13-9 so far this season.

Th e Mountaineers will take on Texas Tech, led by new head coach Matt Wells, on Nov. 9. Th e Red Raiders are currently ranked No. 3 in the conference in total off ense, av-eraging 489.3 yards per game.

West Virginia will then travel to Manhattan, Kansas, to take on the Kansas State Wildcats on Nov. 16. With new head coach Chris Klieman at the helm, the Wildcats are cur-rently the premier team in the conference in passing defense as they allow, on average, only 155.4 yards per game through the air.

WVU will return to Mor-gantown to take on Oklahoma State on Nov. 23. Th e Cow-boys have leaned heavily on redshirt sophomore running back Chuba Hubbard, who leads the Big 12 in rushing with 1,094 yards. His 182.3 av-erage yards per game outpace the second place position by nearly 80 yards.

In their regular season fi -nale, the Mountaineers will head to TCU to take on the Horned Frogs on Nov. 29. TCU features one of the top special teams units in the country as senior kicker Johnathan Song leads the conference in aver-age points per game (10) while junior wide receiver Jalen Rea-gor is the Big 12’s leading punt returner with an average yards per game just shy of 20.

While it is possible that a below-.500 West Virginia team could make it to a bowl game, it is unlikely as, since the ex-ception took eff ect prior to the 2016 season, only two teams have punched their ticket with this route.

Ultimately, the Mountain-eers will not know until the end of the season what lies ahead of them.
