CHARLESTON, W.Va — Once upon a time, music lovers shopped in local stores, where walls were lined with long-playing vinyl discs, wrapped in beautifully crafted cardboard sleeves that, more often than not, were works of art themselves. Placing that vinyl disc on a turntable was a magical experience. As it spun around at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute, the needle was dropped carefully onto track one — no skipping songs allowed — and the journey began. There was cracking and popping, sure. But those were merely beauty marks on a starlet, only adding to the attractiveness of the format.

It’s still every bit a day in the life for some music aficionados. Let’s Hang On Budget Tapes and Records has been a Charleston institution since 1972. Having once spread out with additional stores, co-owners David Pope and Priscilla Pope held on to their original, flagship store in Kanawha City — an iconic landmark where music lovers have purchased vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs along with concert tickets, rock T-shirts, posters and various gift items across five very distinct decades. The store will celebrate its 43rd anniversary in January. When the original sign on top of the building had to be serviced this year, the city designated it as a historical sign during a zoning review. “They said that it not only represents our original logo, but it represents an era,” Priscilla Pope recalled. “That was cool. Rock‘n’roll is still going strong.” Seeing her vinyl section expand once again has brought a smile to her face, Priscilla Pope admits. “We’ve always carried vinyl,” she said. “We never stopped. But I’m happy to see it back (in popularity). It’s been refreshing. Vinyl, for a lot of people, sounds better. It’s good to be able to give them something they want. “It’s hip and cool for a lot of kids now. It’s a new market.” A visit to Budget Tapes and Records offers a nostalgic trip back to the ’70s. But it’s a place that still gives off a modern, hip vibe as well. “There aren’t many record stores left in America, and we feel fortunate to have one,” said Priscilla Pope. “A combination of several things have helped us survive — especially, our customer service. We like our customers and truly enjoy waiting on them. Our personnel are kind to people and are helpful and knowledgeable. They’re laid back. Budget is a cool place that people love to come to and enjoy.” You can hear brand new music in the store, coming from its original stereo system. “We still have in-store play,” Priscilla Pope said. “People still come in to hear the new releases, because you can’t hear it on the radio anymore. “It’s a fun place to come. We call ourselves ‘West Virginia’s hippest record store and lifestyle emporium.’” Two other Mountain State record store brands are closing in on 20 years in the business. Southern West Virginia has two Cheap Thrills Records locations — one in Beckley and one in Princeton. Cheap Thrills opened in 1995. “We always try to keep our customers happy, giving them a good product at a good price,” said Wyatt Lilly, owner of Cheap Thrills. “We want it to be a place that people want to come.” In Huntington, Vince Hebert opened up his Now Hear This record store on 4th Avenue 19 years ago. “We’ve been in the same location for 19 years and given great customer service,” said Herbert. “If I don’t have something a customer is looking for, I can order it and have it in stock within two or three days. Big box stores wouldn’t do that for you. “I see familiar faces and know a lot of my customer’s names. I let them know what we have new this week, let them know what not to miss. “That’s a good relationship,” Herbert added. “You want to spend your money at a place like that, where they know you and can make recommendations for you.” Dream On Vinyl lovers in the Eastern Panhandle have been flocking to Admiral Analog’s Audio Assortment and Oddities in Shepherdstown lately. Andrew Barton, 35, had dreamed of opening his own record store since he was 14 years old. On May 3, he “took the plunge,” he said. He’s the new kid on the block. “Business has been very good; people have been very supportive,” said Burton. “We’ve been spreading the word, so we have seen a lot of traffic.” As far as vinyl goes, don’t call it a comeback, Burton warned. “It’s already here, it’s back,” he said, emphatically. “Some of it is due to a reaction against what I call ‘invisible music’ — downloads. “Music is art, and people want to hold it and collect it. With streaming (music), that all got lost. Now, people are re-discovering music. That’s very important.” There’s also a nostalgia factor, Burton acknowledged. “Vinyl is a very physical format,” he said. “There’s something about listening to music on a stereo, instead of your phone.” Shoppers range from younger kids purchasing new releases on vinyl to the older crowd, people who remember vinyl from their younger days, looking for artists from the ’60s and ’70s. “The classic stuff like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles … that always sells, to all generations,” Burton added. Most of the floor space at Admiral Analog’s is dedicated to vinyl discs, which Burton estimates at about 5,000. But customers also can find a small amount of inventory of cassettes and CDs, as well as t-shirts, buttons, patches and DVDs. “I’m doing something I love,” Burton said. “It’s new and exciting. Every day, I wake up looking forward to coming to work.” (You Better) Shop Around Several record stores in the Mountain State participate in “Record Store Day,” a national event that occurs in April each year. But the movement has also added a Black Friday element, when record stores receive exclusive, limited edition vinyl releases on the traditional day that kicks off Christmas shopping season — the day following Thanksgiving. It has been a popular event since Record Store Day began in 2007. A list of this year’s Black Friday releases and participating stores can be found online at recordstoreday.com. “There are a lot of really interesting releases coming out (Nov. 28),” said Burton. “There’s a Miles Davis boxed set, a Beatles EP and a Metallica disc. “I’ll be stocking some of the special releases and also putting some of our other inventory on sale. It should be a big day.” Hebert, of Now Hear This, said the Record Store Day movement has been incredible. “Back in April, it was Friday, November 28, 2014 3A Photo by Jim Workman Budget Tapes and Records has been a Charleston institution since 1972. Having once spread out with additional stores, co-owners David Pope and Priscilla Pope held on to their original, flagship store in Kanawha City — an iconic landmark where music lovers have purchased vinyl, 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs along with concert tickets, rock T-shirts, posters and various gift items across five very distinct decades. insanity,” he said. “There are exclusives, limited edition stuff — very collectable. For the Black Friday Record Store Day coming up, I’ve had people wanting to preorder certain discs. “It’s great when you see people lining up outside your door as you open up.” To get an idea of the hysteria surrounding Record Store Day, think Beatlemania — on a smaller scale, of course, but with some music fans just as passionate. “On Record Store Day, we had a line of over 50 people waiting outside of our doors,” said Sam Lowe, of Sullivan’s Records on the East End of Charleston. He quickly acknowledged it is the biggest day of the year for his nearly 2-year-old store. His second biggest day: Record Store Day, the Black Friday edition. “It’s a crazy day,” Lowe said. “It’s first-come, first served. You can’t hold orders for people. It was pandemonium. We weren’t ready for that level of response. “There aren’t as many exclusive releases on Black Friday, but it is a big day.” Sullivan said nearly all of his customers who visit throughout the year come in on Record Store Day. “People get worked up, because if you want a certain release, this is the only moment you can get it,” he said. “We will sell items that day for $20 or $25 that you can see on eBay that afternoon for a couple of hundred bucks.” Planning ahead is recommended. Getting your spot on the sidewalk in front of the store is a must. “We don’t sell (the rare releases) online,” Lowe warned. “We sell to people in my store. It’s because it’s not just about the money for us. It’s about people excited about the experience of going to a record store.” Good Times, Bad Times Now Hear This has weathered the storms of change in formats and genres of music. “It wasn’t easy, let me tell you,” said Hebert, its owner, a South Florida native. “Back when the Napster thing hit, and people found out that there was music on the Internet to be had, it affected the rock’n’roll part of my business, especially CD sales.” Herbert began to look elsewhere to generate revenue, with a vinyl section, and an “urban” section. “I just had to adjust my way of thinking,” he said. “There were some rough years, for sure. “It affected everyone. I’m sure that’s why there aren’t many record stores anymore, especially mom and pops. A lot of customers tell me that they shop here because their money stays local.” Hebert is pleased to see the vinyl revival. “Vinyl LPs have rejuvenated the record industry and saved mom and pops,” he said. “There’s a market for them again. It’s turned itself around. Now I’m the last dinosaur around that sells vinyl. “There’s a quality sound to that music. When you do put that needle down on the vinyl, you recognize the difference from the music on an iPad. The sound is amazingly, incredibly different. We have people that go into our vinyl room and spend hours going through the albums.” And it’s not just the older, nostalgic generation. “I’ve had parents drop their 13- and 14-year old kids off in the vinyl room and come back in a couple of hours,” Herbert said. “The kids will come out with a stack of vinyl. “One mom told me that her son discovered classic rock on one of his video games. His mom then showed him her albums. He was introduced to a whole new genre and format of music.” You Don’t Have to Be a Star, Baby You never know who may wander in to a record store. “Rob Zombie came in a few months ago when he played a concert in Huntington,” Herbert recalled. “He went back into the vinyl room and was looking for some Motley Crue albums that he had loaned out over the course of his life and never got back from his friends. We get some artists that come in when they’re in town.” Lowe recalled members of Old Crow Medicine Show and other popular artists dropping by his establishment to peruse the vinyl collection, and taking a few discs with them while their tours passed through Charleston. Other artists walking through the door at Sullivan’s have included Greg Martin from the Kentucky Headhunters, members of Drive-By Truckers, and Wesley Stace, who has also gone by the stage name of John Wesley Harding. “Stace’s visit was particularly cool,” Lowe said. “He arrived in town on a Saturday evening to play a Mountain Stage (National Public Radio show) on Sunday. As soon as his escort from Mountain Stage picked him up at the airport, he had him bring him to the store since we’re closed on Sunday and he wouldn’t have another opportunity to come by.” Then, there’s the time that Bob Dylan popped in at Budget Tapes and Records’ former location in downtown Charleston. “We had a downtown location at the time, in the Daniel Boone Hotel, where (Bob Dylan) was staying,” explained Priscilla Pope of Budget. “He came in as a customer, shopping for records.” West Virginia’s own Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. has done a few in-store CD signings at Budget Tapes and Records since his win on America’s Got Talent. Takin’ Care of Business Lowe has been in the record business for about seven years, having worked at Now Hear This before going on his own and opening Sullivan’s Records, named after his dog. “A lot of people say, ‘I can’t believe that they’re making vinyl again,’ but the truth is, they never stopped,” said Lowe. “It practically stopped and it was as good as dead for a while, but there are plenty of people that never stopped collecting vinyl.” Lowe said that some friends gave him a concerned look when he shared his idea of opening a record store in the 21 century. “I am aware of the risk,” Lowe said. “I learned everything about the business from Vince, so I didn’t want to compete head-to-head with him. He taught me everything I know.” Lowe said he came to Charleston, thinking it was a big enough market that he could make it work. “To some degree, it’s a niche market,” he said. “But it’s also much broader than people realize. It’s gone far past the fad point. What drives me is getting people to discover (vinyl). “When I opened this place, I was really out on a limb. But I love the East End (of Charleston). The East End Main Street Project also supports local businesses, and the area seems to really support artsy things. The area embraces community.” With a Little Help From My Friends Meeting up with friends, or making new ones, at the record store is becoming a phenomenon again. “It’s very much like in the past — you go to a record store and you make friends,” Lowe shared. “Bands have started here. Right after I opened a couple met here, and now they’re engaged to be married. “Coming here, it’s not just about shopping,” he added. “People that never got turned on to music like this, they’re really missing it. It’s a lifestyle experience. You meet people that are passionate about the same things. We’re all friends.” Lowe said Sullivan’s is looking to expand its live, “in-store performances” after hours. The store just hosted its second live event, a standing room only party.

At times, disappointments come our way. Evil is an ever-present concern. Each of these is not God’s fault. However, God compensates us with promises to tap into and to hold onto from day to day.

A HUNGER FOR MORE With centuries upon centuries of human history behind us, one would tend to think that if we could collectively “get our act together,” we certainly would have by now. After all, people living today are collectively the most highly educated to have ever lived on this planet and enjoy astronomical benefits from technology, medicine and communication that would have seemed “miraculous” to those living even 200 years ago, let alone 2,000 years. Still, what was characteristic of human nature more than 2,000 years ago continues to be true today. Human evil has not been cancelled out by what some believe is the innate goodness of mankind. It has not disappeared nor are we watching its demise today. On the contrary, there are people who hate and hurt others for no reason other than it gratifies their savage impulses and gives them a sense of power. People often kill people not because they defend themselves and not even because they are exacting some sort of sick revenge, but only because they simply want to see others suffer and die. Despair and discouragement afflict millions today as it becomes clearer that material things cannot satisfy our deepest needs and and grace.

The herald angels was moved by an infinite mercy sing! ‘Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled!’” (words by Charles Wesley; melody by Felix Mendelssohn). Peace is a marvelous and wonderful effect of becoming a child of God. First, we are no longer “at war” with Him because we are no longer willfully living for ourselves (having surrendered the matter of our sin to His atoning work on the Cross of Christ). “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1 ESV). Secondly, we no longer need to dwell under the oppressive guilt and shame with which the condemnation of our sin blankets us. When we trust Christ as our savior, we are forgiven, cleansed, healed, and set free forever. Finally, as God’s goodness begins to conquer our character in the shaping of our values and our moral choices, we respond to evil enacted upon us with good and so begin to break the world’s cycle of wickedness. As I am hurt or have been offended, I can nevertheless choose to “respond” with the grace of Jesus and to not “react” by exacting revenge. When we respond as Christ would have us respond, mercy is introduced to the lives of those who’ve not personally experienced mercy; goodness is injected into a situation where “good” was nowhere to be found; peace flows out of our very being into each of our “little corners of the world”. The world is hungry for real peace. Only One can supply that peace… for the world and for you and me. Can you not hear the echo of the angels’ song today? Does your heart even now resound with their wondrous anthem, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests” (Luke 2:14)? Would you even now, in this Christmas season, surrender your will and your way to this Son of God, this Prince of Peace? “For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 ESV).

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE The Scriptures teach, “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” (1 Timothy 6:6-10) We live in an age of assumed entitlement. It affects our politics, our communities, our workplaces and our families, with many people simply assuming others are obligated to compensate them simply for the act of existing. Though the results of such feelings of entitlement differ according to individual situations, overall they can be observed to precipitate actions which are unseemly, selfish and wicked. We can see spoiled children yelling at their parents in the middle of a store demanding some toy or other. We know of employees who feel no guilt about stealing from their employers or who do poor work while expecting rich compensation. We can talk with individuals who grumble and complain if charity is late or unavailable. We hear the disgruntled complaints of other people have more than self. We see images of rioters on TV, burning, looting and helping themselves to other people’s property. The symptoms are different but the causes are the same: selfishness, entitlement and a lack of contentment. Society and individuals alike are harmed when we give in to such thinking, and the scriptures are made true that we have “pierced [ourselves] through with many sorrows.” As we are currently in a season in which we strive, as a nation, to be thankful, it is worth taking a moment to reflect upon the underlying motivations of thanksgiving, and the joy which comes from contentment. A large part of gratitude comes from the recognition that you are not, in fact, guaranteed to get everything you want, and that many of the things we do receive are not deserved. It is much harder to be thankful for the things you take for granted, or which are yours by right. The apostle Paul alludes to this, when he writes to the Romans: “Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.” (Romans 4:4) If you have indeed worked hard for another, there is a reasonable expectation of compensation. But absent that work, there is no inherent obligation for the world, or those in the world, to give you anything. This is not saying that acts of charity and generosity are unreasonable or wrong; to the contrary, love should compel such actions. But when we are the recipients of such love, we should recognize the unmerited nature of the gift and thus be thankful. Recognizing that there is no natural right to other people’s property, and that we have been given in this world more than we actually deserve, we should learn to be content with what we have, rather than constantly envious and covetous. If we have food for the day, and clothing for the body, we have what we need at this particular time. Anything beyond this is luxury and, so blessed with such luxury, we should be filled with gladness that we are so well off. One of those things we certainly do not deserve is the gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. We have each sinned, rebelling against the God who created us. But in His love, because of His nature, He sent His Son to be the propitiation for the sins of those who would accept and obey Him in faith. We have no reasonable expectation that God should desire to save us and bless us, even as we turn against Him, but such is the quality of His love for man that He did so. We should never take any blessing for granted, being thankful to God in all things, but we should be especially mindful of the spiritual blessings found only in Christ. And being so grateful, we should give praise and obedience to God, abounding always in joy, love and thanksgiving. In the church of Christ, we strive to always be thankful for our blessings and invite you to come and learn more about how to make the choices God wants you to make.

This year will be no exception. The meter heads on Friday will be covered to encourage shoppers to shop in town without the worry of getting a parking ticket. Again this year, the Pomeroy Merchants Association willl be hosting the traditional candy, cookie and crafts contests with first-place prizes of $50 in each one. The prizes are sponsored by the three banks that will provide two top awards in each category. They are Peoples Bank for the candy contest, Ohio Valley Bank for the cookie contest, and Farmers Bank for the craft contest. Anyone can participate in the contests which will be held on the first three Culture and History is very interesting. They combined four old departments that answer directly to the Governor - the archives, the arts section, historic preservation and the museum, and they have one commissioner. “I really believe I’m the first commissioner to work all four areas equally.” Reid-Smith said he received harsh criticism when he took the job, most citing his experience was not adequate to be in charge of departments outside performing arts. This, he said, inspired him to learn everything he could about the other departments, relying on a staff filled with field experts. “I built up the museum,” he said, adding that the museum is one of his favorite projects to date. “I learned historic preservation because I’m the state historic preservation officer by statute and I listened to the people who are on staff with me because they are the experts. I learn everyday.” Initially focusing on older adult audiences, Reid-Smith quickly changed direction to focus on arts in schools, a plan, he said, to inspire a future generation of art consumers. “My first five years, I increased the arts budget by 47 percent and the historic preservation budget by 31 percent because it was important to the governor and it was important to the legislature,” he said. “They never say no. It’s what people want - it’s what people believe in.” While states around the country have gained national attention for steadily cutting their arts programs, ReidSmith has ensured the oppo- site. He credits the art-loving residents of West Virginia for the continued support. “What makes me the most proud is that I have an opportunity in this state to do what I’ve been able to do and that this state has this opportunity when other states don’t,” he said. “Its important to them. It’s vital to the growth of your community to sustain that growth, to attract people, to attract businesses. “People looking to start a business, people looking for an area to move to, look for communities like Cabell County which has a symphony, which has a museum, which has a high school that is richly embedded in the arts.” Reid-Smith said Cabell County’s superintendent is a unique advantage to the county, who, he said, is always willing to try new ways to support arts programs in education. “He is the best,” ReidSmith said. “All I have to do is call Bill Smith and it is taken care of. He shows up for everything that I do. When we gave the instruments at Milton he told those kids that this was so important because when he was growing up, he didn’t have the opportunity to play an instrument even though he always wanted to because financially, his parents couldn’t afford it. “So people who come up that way, they’re the first ones out there to ring the bell to get people to come out and do it. I like him very much.” From the statewide band invitational, to the expansion of the Golden Horseshow contest and creation of the quiz bowl, to his personal volunteering at Cabell Midland High School, perhaps no other program has so deeply touched Cabell County as the free instrument program.

Now that they really are, can it be a distraction? The seventh-ranked Buckeyes meet archrival Michigan this week, a game that’s always a physical, demanding contest. Moments after that showdown ends, they’ve got to begin gearing up for the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis against the Saturday’s winner of the Minnesota at Wisconsin game. Coach Urban Meyer said the Buckeyes taking on Michigan and then playing for the league title on consecutive Saturdays is a challenge. But he also says it’s something that must be overcome. “When I was at Florida we had to deal with that (rival Florida State) game” before the Southeastern Conference championship in 2008 and 2009, said Meyer, the Gators coach from 2005-2010. “That’s real. 6:30 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

But defensive tackle Michael Bennett says such distractions fall by the wayside once the opening whistle is blown. “Once you’re in the game, it’s only about the game,” he said. “You’re not, midgame up seven points, saying, ‘OK, well, now we’re going to the Big Ten championship.’ Or you’re down seven and it’s, ‘Well, we’re out.’ It’s all about that team and taking care of business with that team.” Some feel that playing well in the first game carries over to the second. “We know we have to prepare as well as we have for any game. They will come out and give us their best swing,” wide receiver Evan Spencer said of the Wolverines. “We have to be able to take it and give ours back. I feel if we go out and there and do what we need to do, it will bode well for us.” Tight end Jeff Heuerman talked at length about Michigan, then was asked if his career has been everything he thought it would and could be. “We started the season competing for championships in November and we’re right in the heat of the thing,” he said. “We’re gonna be in Indianapolis next weekend, and after that we’ll see what the rankings do for us.” 10:30 Funniest Home Videos Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother Met Mother 18 (WGN) Funniest Home Videos B.Jacket Pre NHL Hockey Vancouver Canucks at Columbus Blue Jackets (L) Post-game Slap Shots Bearcats 24 (FXSP) Slap Shots 25 (ESPN) (4:00) Basket.

There’s only one way to enjoy every moment and that’s to (win).” This stacked schedule near Thanksgiving is a new phenomenon at Ohio State. Every year from 1935-2012 except one (wartime 1942, when they closed with the naval preflight program, the Iowa Seahawks), the Buckeyes ended their regular season with the Michigan game. Then last year, they clinched what was then known as the Leaders Division title. Then they struggled to hold off Michigan when Tyvis Powell intercepted a twopoint conversion pass with 32 seconds left to lock up a 42-41 victory. A week later, Michigan State’s offense continually reeled off big plays in a 34-24 upset that ended the Buckeyes’ 24-game winning streak and their hopes of playing for a national title. The Buckeyes (10-1, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 6 CFP) say there’s no doubt that Michigan (5-6, 3-4) has their full attention this week. But at the same time they also know they still have another big game just around the corner. Still, at times Michigan sounds like an appetizer rather than a main course. “A lot of of guys in our class are like, ‘We haven’t won anything since we’ve been here.’ We’ve won a couple Eastern Division championships, but we haven’t won a Big Ten title or anything bigger than that,” senior corner- 10:30 The Internship (2013, Comedy) Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne, Vince Vaughn.

He was exiled on his own team. Unable to practice or play during his 10-game NFL suspension, the star wide receiver was so isolated that he said it felt as if he had contracted an illness. No one wanted to be near him. He was alone, on a separate schedule and Gordon said he felt relationships change. He knew he had to prove himself again. What Gordon didn’t realize was that his standing inside the locker room had been unshaken. “I don’t think he ever lost our trust,” Browns Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas said. “He made some poor choices, I’m sure he’ll admit to them. But throughout his suspension, with the things that he did and the way he conducted and handled himself and came back in shape, he proved that he was a new person that had grown up from the situations.” Gordon came back from his suspension for marijuana abuse last week and shined in his first game. He caught eight passes for 120 yards in Cleveland’s 26-24 win over Atlanta, a victory that shoved the Browns (7-4) into the thick of the AFC playoff race. It was a welcomed return for Gordon, who did it with such ease that Thomas had no idea he had been so productive. “I went home and my wife said, ‘Wasn’t it great having Josh back?’” Thomas said, “and I said, ‘He didn’t really do anything, right?’ She said, ‘He had 120 yards.’ I’m like, ‘Really?’” Gordon didn’t speak with reporters on Wednesday, excusing himself from a crowd gathered around his locker by walking a down-and-out route through the exit door. Earlier, in an interview with former teammate Nate Burleson for the NFL Network, Gordon said the “lowest point” of his suspension was when he felt friends — and the Browns — distance themselves from him. “I don’t want to throw names around but I can see it,” Gordon told Burleson, who was with Cleveland during training camp and became close with Gordon. “I’m definitely really observant so I see how people might just be more standoffish as they were before. It’s kind of like a disease. People they want to see it but they don’t really want to touch it.” Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer can relate to Gordon’s feelings of separation. While he was rehabbing a season-ending knee injury in 2013, Hoyer felt similarly secluded despite being with a team. “When you’re in the building but you’re not really a part of the team, you kind of feel like things are going on without you. It’s a terrible feeling,” he said. “You see your teammates going about the business that they do every day and you want to be a part of it, but you’re really not.” Browns coach Mike Pettine said it would be natural for anyone to feel as Gordon did. Although he may have been around, Gordon, who was not permitted to practice or lift weights with his teammates during his ban, was not part of the weekly buildup for a game. He didn’t feel as if he belonged. “I can just see from a human nature standpoint maybe feeling that way,” he said. “Knowing the quality of the people in this building, I doubt there would be any overt maliciousness. I know Josh is well liked by his teammates.” Like Thomas, Hoyer said Gordon doesn’t have to earn back anything. “He’s done his time,” Hoyer said. “We welcomed him back with open arms, not just because of the player he is, but we all know the type of person Josh is. He’s a great guy. He’s a great part of this team and he’s a big part of this locker room. We knew he’d come back humble, hungry, and you can see it on the field.” Professional Services DON’T LOSE ALL OF YOUR EARNED MONEY TO A LONG TERM NURSING HOME STAY… CALL ATTORNEY TRENT CLELAND!

Bowen (6-7, 315 pounds) is the 22nd verbal commitment for the Buckeyes in the 2015 recruiting class and the fourth offensive lineman. All four are from out of state – Kevin Feder (New Jersey), Grant Schmidt (South Dakota), Matt Burrell (Viriginia) and Bowen. Trayvon Mullen, a 4-star cornerback from Coconut Creek, Fla., in the 2016 recruiting class included Ohio State on a list of his favorite schools on Twitter. But that list had 20 schools on it, so his decision is still a long way off in the future. Joe Burrow (Athens The Plains), a 2015 OSU verbal commitment, passed for four touchdowns, ran for two more and caught a touchdown pass when one of his throws was deflected back to him in a 52-20 regional championship win over Columbus DeSales last Friday. Torrance Gibson (Plantation, Fla., American Heritage) passed for two touchdowns and ran for another in a playoff game. Mike Ullery | Civitas Media Quarterback J.T. Barrett’s 33 touchdown passes are an OSU season record. He gets his first start in a Michigan game Saturday on the day the former record holder Troy Smith has his number retired. < QUARTERBACKS J.T. Barrett (2,658 yards, 33 TDs and 849 yards rushing) broke Troy Smith’s season record for touchdown passes at Ohio State in a 42-27 win over Indiana last Saturday. On Monday, Smith said Barrett is a worthy candidate for the Heisman Trophy. Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner (1,663 yards, 8 TDs, 14 interceptions) threw for 451 yards and four touchdowns against Ohio State last season in a 42-41 OSU win but has passed for more than 200 yards only once in the 11 games he has played since then. Advantage: Ohio State Say What? “Personally, I have grown to not like them very much ever since birth.” — Ohio State wide receiver Evan Spencer, talking about how he feels about Michigan. < RUNNING BACKS Ezekiel Elliott rushed for more than 100 yards for the fifth time in the last eight games when he gained 107 yards against Indiana. He probably will get significantly more carries against Michigan than the 13 he had against Indiana. De’Veon Smith (515 yards rushing, 6 TDs) became Michigan’s No. 1 running back when Derrick Green suffered a broken collarbone in October. Advantage: Ohio State Buckeye Brain Busters 2.

Amar Darboh has 32 catches and tight end Jake Butt has 17. Advantage: Ohio State < OFFENSIVE LINE Ohio State leads the Big Ten in scoring (44.3) and is second in total offense (511.4), which might be the best way to measure how much its offensive line has progressed since the start of the season. Michigan is last in the Big Ten in scoring (20.3) and last in total offense (329.5). The Wolverines’ line is young with a freshman and two sophomores among the five starters, including guard Kyle Kalis, a one-time OSU recruit. Advantage: Ohio State < DEFENSIVE LINE Ohio State has had three consecutive games in which an opposing running back gained more than 100 yards, including last week when Indiana’s Tevin Coleman went for 228 yards. The good news is Michigan does not have a back of the caliber OSU has seen the last three games. < WIDE RECEIVERS Michigan ranks ninth Jalin Marshall’s three nationally in rushing defense touchdown catches (107.2 yards a game).

Michigan kicker Matt Wile is 15 of 21 on field goals, with a long of 48 yards, and has come on strong lately by connecting on 10 of his last 12 attempts. Advantage: Ohio State Struggling on the field. Struggling to fill the Big House. A coach on his way out. A new athletic director under pressure to make the right hire to restore a once proud football program to its traditional place among the Jim nation’s elite. Naveau Yes, we’re talkColumnist ing about Michigan football. But not in 2014. That’s what Michigan faced in 1968. In 1968, Michigan coach Bump Elliott resigned after five losing seasons in the 10 years he was the Wolverines’ head coach. His final game was a humiliating 50-14 loss to Ohio State in the game where Woody Hayes might have said he went for a two-point conversion only because he couldn’t go for three. Athletic director Don Canham, in his first year on the job, was in charge of picking the new coach. Obviously, he made the right choice when he hired Bo Schembechler. In Bo’s 21 seasons, Michigan won fewer than eight games only once. His successor, Gary Moeller, never won fewer than eight games in his five seasons and the Wolverines dipped below eight wins once in Lloyd Carr’s 13 seasons. Ohio State has owned the rivalry with Michigan since 2001, winning 11 of the last 13 games. Before that, Michigan dominated, going 10-2-1 from 1988-2000. To say the expected change of coaches at Michigan after Saturday’s game between the Buckeyes and Wolverines at Ohio Stadium will be big is an understatement. Hiring Jim Tressel was a game-changer for Ohio State and for the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry. Hiring Urban Meyer might have taken OSU to an even higher level. The Wolverines haven’t kept pace with the Buckeyes since Tressel’s arrival. And, despite what some fans say, some juice has gone out of the rivalry. If Michigan can recreate 1968, the rivalry could suddenly get as hot as ever, though. Contact Jim Naveau at 419-993-2087 or on Twitter at @Lima_Naveau.
