Instead of trying for three easy points and a small lead, Jordan Love lined up in the shotgun and a delayed handoff to Gerold Bright lost the Aggies four yards. “I knew we messed up right there, we didn’t get it in,” Love said. “but I knew the defense would go out there, get a stop and get us the ball back to go down for the win.” Luckily for USU, the defense, much-maligned in recent weeks for its abysmal outings against Air Force and BYU, did come up big. On Fresno State’s final two possessions, including and especially the crucial one after Utah State’s failure on fourth down, the Bull- dogs were held to a three-and-out. The latter of those defensive stops gave the Aggies’ offense the ball with 3:05 left to play and good field position, starting at their own 47. “The defense just kept battling,” USU head coach Gary Andersen said. “They fought in there, they did what they had to do at the end of the day to make the play. A half a yard short gave us a chance.” Love put together his best night of the year and one of the better of his three-year career. The junior completed 30-of-39 passes for 388 yards, two touchdowns and — perhaps most importantly — zero interceptions. “He was fantastic,” Andersen said of Love. “We have to be ef- fective through the air to do what we’re going to do to get points on the board.

For many, these diffi- culties become too burdensome and they eventually drop out. But what if there was a proven way to turn these students’ ex- periences around? What if there was a way to increase student satisfaction and the chances of graduation? Starting in January 2020, exploratory students at Utah State University will choose one of six focus areas that will help them get involved on campus and into a major sooner. Stephanie Hamblin, the exploratory advising director, said the focus areas are already on the application for fall semester 2020. If a prospective student selects that they are undecided or exploratory, they will be prompted to choose one of the focus areas, which will help them narrow down their choices based on their general interests. The six focus areas are Biological and Environmental Sciences; Agriculture and Natural Resources; Business and Communica- FILE PHOTO tion; Social Sciences and Human Services; Humanities and Arts; and Physical Sciences, Engineering and Math.

  • The Comet Newsletter January 2020
    1 The Comet Newsletter January 2020 A Family Divide It was Christmas Eve, and my extended family had just sat down for dinner. We began to eat, smiling and joking all around. You could almost say it was like the early 2000’s -- except, well, I hadn’t been born yet. There was one stark contrast, though. As I looked around, each of my relatives had a device less than one foot away from them, at hand’s reach. My little cousin had put his iPad next to his plate, grubby fingerprints smeared all over. My aunt’s Samsung was daintily resting on her water cup. Even my dad -- who claims to be a technology abstainer -- had slipped his phone into his jeans pocket, one tap away from seeing the weather forecast, or the latest New York Times article, or a photo from our last trip. At first, the technology that surrounded our dinner didn’t seem to be a distraction. But one by one, as the meal progressed, family members began to succumb to the urge to peek at their devices, perhaps discreetly swipe a few times under the tablecloth. My cousins, for one, went all out, hefting their tablets sturdily onto their half-full plates and going to town with games. Conversation across the table went on, but it became more absent-minded and preoccupied. Believe it or not, this is a real scenario across the US that happens in more than just our household. When each member of the family has a device, it’s easy to forget the simple pleasure of spending quality time with one another.

  • Global Tree Planting with Purpose and Power
    Global Tree Planting with Purpose and Power Partnership Study: Social media influencers inspire large-scale action among a new generation of tree planters What started as a callout on the social media platform Reddit quickly turned into an environmental force, driven by a new audience of tree planters. #TeamTrees — a collective effort with YouTube creators to inspire support for tree planting around the globe — took social media by storm in the fall of 2019. The campaign was one of the fastest-growing environmental fundraising initiatives to date and the largest crowdfunding effort in YouTube’s history. A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY #TeamTrees began with YouTube influencers MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson, widely followed for his creative philanthropy) and Mark Rober (former NASA scientist) accepting a challenge to plant 20 million trees in honor of MrBeast’s 20 millionth subscriber. They chose to collaborate with the Arbor Day Foundation in managing the campaign to leverage three of its key strengths: ➊ Unique Position: The Foundation is uniquely equipped to handle a tree planting project of this scale and scope. ➋ Integrity: A commitment to planting the right tree in the right place for the right reasons. ➌ Credibility: A proven track record of working with a network of partners to deliver results. The goal was to raise $20 million by January 1, 2020. Each dollar raised would plant a tree, and trees would be planted on every continent except Antarctica. Hundreds of other content creators on YouTube and other social platforms were recruited to help lead the charge, and everyone involved developed unique content to drive their viewers to donate on TeamTrees.org in support of tree planting.

  • Evolution of the Youtube Personas Related to Survival Horror Games
    Toniolo EVOLUTION OF THE YOUTUBE PERSONAS RELATED TO SURVIVAL HORROR GAMES FRANCESCO TONIOLO CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF MILAN ABSTRACT The indie survival horror game genre has given rise to some of the most famous game streamers on YouTube, especially titles likes Amnesia: The Dark Descent (Frictional Games 2010), Slender: The Eight Pages (Parsec Productions 2012), and Five Nights at Freddy’s (Scott Cawthon 2014). The games are strongly focused on horror tropes including jump scares and defenceless protagonists, which lend them to displays of overemphasised emotional reactions by YouTubers, who use them to build their online personas in a certain way. This paper retraces the evolution of the relationship between horror games and YouTube personas, with attention to in-game characters and gameplay mechanics on the one hand and the practices of prominent YouTube personas on the other. It will show how the horror game genre and related media, including “Let’s play” videos, animated fanvids, and “creepypasta” stories have influenced prominent YouTuber personas and resulted in some changes in the common processes of persona formation on the platform. KEY WORDS Survival Horror; Video Game; YouTube; Creepypasta; Fanvid; Let’s Play INTRODUCTION Marshall & Barbour (2015, p. 7) argue that “Game culture consciously moves the individual into a zone of production and constitution of public identity”. Similarly, scholars have studied – with different foci and levels of analysis – the relationships between gamers and avatars in digital worlds or in tabletop games by using the concept of “persona” (McMahan 2003; Waskul & Lust 2004; Isbister 2006; Frank 2012). Often, these scholars were concerned with online video games such as World of Warcraft (Filiciak 2003; Milik 2017) or famous video game icons like Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series (McMahan 2008).

  • How's It Going Bros: Pewdiepie's Memeing in Tertiary Orality
    HOW’S IT GOING BROS: PEWDIEPIE’S MEMEING IN TERTIARY ORALITY by TRAVIS BROWN (Under the Direction of Shira Chess) ABSTRACT PewDiePie, the most subscribed YouTuber with 61 million subscribers, became a controversial figure in 2017 after cases of hate speech in his videos. While his hate speech has obvious room for exploration, it is impossible to examine his hate speech without first analyzing the creation of his memetic language within the broader digital culture in which he exists and how users within that digital culture adopt his language. This thesis explores the development of orality in digital culture, placing PewDiePie in the middle of the tertiary orality and meme culture. Upon analysis of PewDiePie’s videos and the language adopted by his audience, I conclude PewDiePie’s intent for his speech does not matter, as propagators of hate speech interpellated that they are the subject of his speech.
