Vols tab Southern Miss’ Tyndall as program’s 19th men’s hoops coach Steven Cook Copy Editor Tennessee officially announced it has hired Southern Mississippi’s Donnie Tyndall as the next men’s basketball head coach. Hundreds packed Pratt Pavilion for Tyndall’s introductory press conference Tuesday afternoon to catch a glimpse of the 43-year-old in his first appearance in orange. “I’m humbled to be your coach,” Tyndall said. “I think Tennessee is a special place. Many people would ask, ‘Why do you think that, coach?’ I say this, the tradition starting with coach Ray Mears and all the great coaches that have coached at this university. “So many great coaches, and I’m proud to be one of them – or at least be a head coach grouped in with them at this point.” Tyndall comes to UT after six years as head coach of Morehead State and two with Southern Miss. He boasts an overall record of 170-102, including a 56-17 mark over the past two seasons with the Golden Eagles. His deal with the Vols spans six years. It is worth $1.6 million annually with a $3 million buyout that drops to $1.75 million in 2017. UT Athletic Director Dave Hart, who headed up the coaching search, was quick to point out Tyndall’s coaching successes but was most impressed with his energetic personality.

Two UT students awarded national Fulbright grants Zoe Yim Contributor Alex Houck beams as he talks excitedly about his recently-won Fulbright grant and the project it will permit him to conduct in Spain after leaving UT. Among the most competitive national scholarships available to U.S. students, the Fulbright Program awards grants to only 1,900 applicants each year. “I put all my eggs in one basket,” Houck said, “and it ended up working out.” Houck, a senior in College Scholars studying neuropathology and neurolinguistics, will use the grant to fund his research of the proteins that cause Alzheimer’s
disease. Drawing upon his prior research experience in Argentina and his neurobiological research in Knoxville, Houck will conduct his study from a molecular neurobiological lab in Madrid. “I’m interested as a future physician working with a Spanishspeaking population,” Houck added. In many Spanish-speaking communities, testing for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases is administered in English, often complicating diagnosis for non-English speakers. Moreover, Houck said Alex Houck, a senior in College Scholars studying the disease itself is not as widely neuropathology and neurolinguistics, poses for a researched or understood in the photo at the UC on March 31.

Volapalooza opener Crab Apple Lane ready to make splash Jenna Butz Staff Writer Local self-proclaimed “college dropout” country band Crab Apple Lane is coming back to school this Friday to open up Volapalooza. Lead vocalists Kirk Wynn and Deena Robbins met through the Knoxville music scene. Both played frequently in town already, and Wynn even played drums for Robbins a few times. From there, the duo began to hang out more before eventually throwing around the idea of starting a country band. The duo never imagined being anything other than a country band. While Robbins had listened to more pop and
rock music before starting the band, it was Wynn’s love for the genre that led to where Crab Apple Lane is now. “For me personally, that’s the genre of my heart, as weird as that sounds,” Wynn said. “There’s a lot of genres that I like out there, but country is a lot about the song, and that’s kinda what I love the most, is writing. Try to write a good story, try to write a good song.” Since turning the idea into reality, Crab Apple Lane has played together for less than a year. Even with Wynn and Robbins both songwriting, they still incorporate covers into their sets to allow audiences to sing-a-long despite not knowing Crab Apple Lane songs. Yet, they yearn to be inventive with
their lyrics. “We just kind of write about a lot of stuff,” Wynn said. “Somebody was asking me the other day how I write, and I just told him it just comes from everywhere. Very rarely is it from real life. We make up a lot of stuff. Every now and then, we’ll go to a movie or something, and I’m like I want to write a song that kind of feels like that movie, so I’ll write about a movie I saw or something. “There’s a lot of different ways that an idea for a song comes about.” At the beginning of April, Crab Apple Lane played Rhythm N’ Blooms. There, they met high school folk band Subtle Clutch and local rising
country band The Black Lillies. The festival allowed the new band to expand their sound to an audience that may not have entirely been from Knoxville. “It was awesome,” Robbins said. “There were a lot of people that we got to come in contact with like other bands, local bands and stuff like that. So, I think it was a good melting pot, pretty much, of just a bunch of different styles and types of music. It was awesome. The festival was awesome. The location was amazing, and there are all these cool places around Jackson Avenue that they were making into these concert venues. It turned out really, really good.” See CRAB APPLE on Page 3

Divestment campaign holds rally against UT fossil fuels Jenna Butz Staff Writer
More than 50 students and community supporters met in the HSS amphitheater Tuesday afternoon for the “Do the Right Thing, Jimmy Cheek!” rally, a call to action after the chancellor’s refusal to support fossil fuel divestment at UT. Jointly led by the UT Coalition for Responsible Investment and the Living Wage Coalition, the rally featured speeches as well as a march to Circle Park, where protesters paraded their signs in Chancellor Cheek’s front lawn. Megaphone in hand, David Hayes, a junior in supply chain management, recalled his meeting with the chancellor and two other divestment supporters last Wednesday, which failed to produce administrative support. Hayes then held a moment of silence for “the victims of the fossil fuel industry.” See DIVESTMENT on Page 2

Members of the UT Coalition for Responsible Investment begin to congregate outside the Humanities Amphitheater before the march to Circle Park on Tuesday. The rally represented the group’s movement against Chancellor Jimmy Cheek’s refusal to support responsible investment.
DIVESTMENT continued from Page 1 “I want you to think about what this industry does and the injustices it creates,” Hayes said. “I want us to have a moment of silence for the victims of fracking who cannot drink their water, who cannot breathe their air. I want you to think about the tens of thousands of people a year who die in the U.S. alone. “I want us to think about the 500 people who died last year in Tennessee from the pollution of the coal plants. Five hundred people last year.” Erica Davis, a sophomore in sociology, took the megaphone next, thanking participants for sharing her belief that “it’s wrong for our university to profit from climate change.” “What’s right is that we use our university’s endowment to support its values and take a moral stand,” Davis said. “What’s right is to give the respect to
FULBRIGHT continued from Page 1 Houck has also proposed taking classes in Spanish and volunteering in a hospital in addition to his time researching in the lab. He is not alone in his success with the Fulbright Program. After graduation, Avery Dobbs, senior in political science, will participate in a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Program in Bulgaria, where she will instruct high school students. “I thought it was kind of
life that it deserves. What’s right is to take back the future that is ours and the time for action is now.” Davis then introduced Carol Judy, a resident of Clairfield, Tenn., who has witnessed the effects of pollution and mountaintop removal on her Appalachian home. After presenting pictures by fellow Clairfield resident Gary Garrett, Judy expressed confidence in the student-led movement. “We can unstick him, but it’s going to take your youthful energy to do that.” Participants then proceeded to Circle Park, chanting, “Polluters getting wealthy while we’re not safe and healthy. That’s bull----! Get off it! Put people over profit!” Other chants included “Cut the crap, Jimmy Cheek! Don’t destroy our mountain peaks!” and “Hey yo, Jimmy Cheek! Fossil fuels make UT weak!” There, Robert Naylor, Living Wage Coalition member and a junior in global studies, expressed his disappointment that both
the divestment and living wage campaigns have been “brushed aside” by administrators. Referencing the university’s signature Top 25 tagline, “Big Orange. Big Ideas.,” Naylor agreed that UT is “covered” in ideas, like fossil fuel divestment, racial justice, justice for campus workers and immigrant justice. Yet, Naylor feels these ideas have been “consistently ignored.” “We were told to dream big, and to see the changes we want to see, to have big ideas,” Naylor said. “But what good are big ideas if they are left dead at the door of the chancellor’s office. The chancellor has lost the vision of what our university is supposed to be. He has forgotten what a big idea looks like. But, we are here to remind him. “So, Chancellor Cheek look and listen to your students here today. In case you have forgotten, this is what a big idea looks like.”
a long shot,” Dobbs said, “but it all came together in the end.” Of the five types of grants awarded by the Fulbright Program, ETA is one of the more common awards. At the suggestion of a friend, Dobbs communicated with the Office of National Scholarships and Fellowship and decided to apply for the prestigious grant. “I was shocked that I was named a finalist in January,” she said. Dobbs, whose interest in Eastern European culture first began after befriending a Slovenian exchange stu-
dent in high school, said a visit to Slovenia the summer after her freshman year at UT sparked a love affair with the Balkan countries. When considering which nation she wished to take her work to, she chose Bulgaria for its climate of political transition and changing national ideology. She believes the Fulbright grant will help her better actualize her dream of one day working for the U.S. Foreign Service. “Now, I’m still in shock,” Dobbs said. “But I’m very excited.”

ARTS & CULTURE Drake Bell captures mature sound in sophomore album Jenna Butz
Staff Writer Not all child stars transform into hot messes across the front pages of tabloids. Instead, a few go on to pursue other passions. One such example is Drake Bell. Transforming from teen heartthrob to newfound rocker, he released his sophomore album “Ready Steady Go!” on Tuesday. The comedic child star has kept the rock star edge that made him a lady killer in the Nickelodeon TV show “Drake and Josh,” but with a newfound grit and maturity. Channeling the greaser personas of skinny Elvis Presley, James Dean and, more recently, J.D. McPherson, Bell has gelled his hair into the perfectly greased back ‘do of John Travolta in “Grease” and jumped into skinny dress pants, skinny ties and super shiny dress shoes. And luckily, the new look has translated into the new record. Alternating covers of songs both obscure and well-known with his own original works, Bell has
mixed his vintage style with these songs to make even the covers mesh well the album. While each song is distinctly its own, Bell’s ability to convert them into his new style is an impressive feat from the young artist. For his original numbers, Bell showcases his ability to pack his songs with colorful imagery. In his single “Bitchcraft,” Bell croons, “I didn’t know that you collected souls/ Gambling fire, rolling bones/I shoulda known you would take it all/But I never planned to be your voodoo sound.” While the instrumentation continues with the never-too-dark sound as was characteristic of ‘50s rock n’ roll, Bell has demonstrated his ability to evoke darkness with merely his words. Although the album is consistent and highlights Bell’s talents, there is a star quality that is lacking. While there is some grit and melancholia, there is not enough where appropriate. Instead, it appears Bell was too timid to do more where above average levels of emotion would have been greatly welcome. This is not to say the
album is not an enjoyable listen. The record contains all the energy and sincerity one should expect from the former actor. However, it appears the transition has prompted a search for himself that Bell is still trying to navigate. “Ready Steady Go!” holds two pleasant surprises, though: first, that Bell covers Billy Joel’s “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me,” and he redoes his own hit track from his last album, “Makes Me Happy.” By mixing Joel’s classic with his vintage sound, Bell turned “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me” into a personal anthem of where his heart lies when it comes to his music. And while the original version has seen significant success, the redo of “Makes Me Happy” is a clear step away from Bell’s Nickelodeon days and into adulthood. Now, Bell’s album is not a stellar, chart-topping success story; however, it is still far better than a sophomore slump. It is clear the 27-year-old is still looking for his voice, but this stop along the way is an impressive first step to something that is sure to grow within the next few years.

CRAB APPLE continued from Page 1 While Crab Apple Lane is primarily a country band, it has worked to add what Wynn calls “the rock side of country” into the band’s live shows. By pumping that energy into its set, the band was able to win the Battle for Vola, making it the first opener for the end-of-the-year bash despite still being in the learning process of where the members are as a band. “I think our live show is coming together,” Wynn said. “I guess anytime you throw five or six people on a stage together, it’s going to take some time to gel. In the studio, we’re coming along a little better than we were at first because we didn’t know exactly what we wanted to do and what we wanted to sound like. “Now, we’re getting the hang of it, and it’s coming together pretty decent.” However, Crab Apple Lane never
expected to win the battle. After listening to the other competing bands, the mix of genres represented and the fans the other acts brought with them, they were unsure as to what would happen. “We were the fourth band, so the first three bands, we were like, ‘OK, so we’re completely different than any of these other bands. We don’t know if that’s a good thing,’” Wynn said. “We tried our best to rock it out. “We had 15 minutes to show them what we do, so we tried our best. I guess it worked.” With their upcoming move to their largest venue yet, ThompsonBoiling Arena, Crab Apple Lane is preparing for the venue to come with their largest audience yet. Before this Friday, the band’s largest audience was about 200 people. However, both Wynn and Robbins have played in front of big crowds before and are looking forward to the fan base they can expand through this performance.
“I guess a lot of people don’t really take you seriously until you play on a big stage,” Wynn said. “As much as we play around town and invite people out, sometimes it takes a bigger stage like Volapalooza for people to really take you seriously and come out watch you and once they do, I think they’ll be hooked. Hopefully.” Right now, Robbins’ favorite song to perform is “Hit the Ground Running.” The group recently recorded the song and will be releasing it as a single at the beginning of May. For Wynn, the lyrics to that song are the “perfect” fit as to where the band is headed. “It’s kind of what we’re trying to do this year, this 2014,” Wynn said. “We took last year to get our feet wet and establish a name in Knoxville. So when it turned 2014, we just tried to do everything we could, keeping busy, moving fast. “It kind of fits what we’re trying to do right now.”

The one goal you need to accomplish this summer
to the
Editor
Sex Week’s future In Rare Forum by
Julie Mrozinski
I’m a goal setter. And if I were following my normal trend, I would tell you to make 10 goals for this summer. But spontaneity and the willingness to try something new has inspired me to attack a different sort of summer aspiration. I vow to make no summer goals. My goal setting often leads to productivity, but never the amount that is on my list. I become disappointed in myself and begin to feel inadequate, a feeling I have coined “the ashams.” Having the ashams, I’ve noticed a wall around me I’ve never seen before, one that has created anxiety, pressure and self-conscious tendencies, not to mention a lackluster spirit derived from the lack of light I’m letting in and giving out. Goals are good; they have brought me great direction. But this summer, I want to see where no direction leads me. I don’t want to let go of everything, of course, so I’ll still commit to three essential things: work, volunteering and school. But that is it. I want to let go of everything else. I am emptying myself so this summer can fill me up. I want to sleep late, forget about the pressures of finishing X number of books and enjoy the summer heat with a guilt-free spirit. Contrary to how it sounds, I believe embracing the spontaneity of life and evaporating the pressures I’ve built on myself will make me happier, more fulfilled and, ironically, more productive. When we have a million things to do, we can become so discouraged that we struggle to start. But when you don’t tell yourself “I must” and instead think “I can,” you can reorganize your way of thinking. These ideas of “I must” come from a deeply-rooted American cultural stigma. We have to go to college, get an internship, work to pay off student loans and maintain an acceptable GPA. What kind of people are we creating under this mentality? I know I have become more unhappy with who I am simply because I only do two out of those four things. So to the expectation of achieving those four things, I am choosing to tell my dear American culture, “Frankly, I don’t give a damn (at least for this summer).” And I want to mean it; this summer, I will rediscover the way of living that I love, that one that doesn’t make me do anything to fit anyone else’s expectations, the one that tells me “I can” instead of “I must.” This new way will allow me to create a living where I have desires to experience things rather than obligations to cross them off a to-do list. When we do the things we want to, we find we more easily end up in the places we wanted too — the ones that the “right way” made us work so hard to find. Our way might take longer and we might have to deal with times of struggle, but when we live without cultural goals and even personal ones, the perspective we will find should be more fulfilling than completed objectives. By emptying myself of future plans and goals, I will be more open to the joys of going with the flow, following the river of life and splashing in its wanderlust. I challenge you to let go of the goals that have been placed on you by yourself and your surroundings. Join me this summer and live life the way you want to. I guess that’s kind of a goal, but I think it’s the only one you need. Julie Mrozinski is a junior in English. She can be reached at jmrozins@utk.edu.
There are those whose blood bleeds orange; ours hasn’t bled orange for a while. We write as the co-founders and former co-chairs of Sex Week. We’ve spent the last two years designing and implementing programs to create a healthier environment at UT. Through this process, we’ve been given a special insight into the status of sexual health at the university and how university officials — from lower-level staff to the Chancellor and his cabinet — generally respond to challenges. We acknowledged the poor sexual culture on our campus and sought to begin a conversation and improve attitudes and encourage healthier actions. Our words and efforts have not always been well-received. Our school has disappointed us on many occasions, and we often question if we made the right decision to come here. We never expected the abandonment and sometimes outright animosity. We write this letter to honestly reflect on our past two years and provide a perspective not afforded to most students. Our university suffers from an illness — one that has infected all levels of the institution. This illness is complacency with the status quo. It comes with several symptoms: obsession with job security, willingness to lead only hushed change, and an inclination toward lowrisk, limited and dated strategies for operation. It’s clear UT intends to create student products that meet a checklist of requirements instead of promoting students who are progressive critical thinkers and developing their ability to examine, challenge and innovate. When pitching our idea for a mandatory sexual assault prevention course, a staff member whose job concerns sexual assault on our campus claimed the project was too ambitious, suggesting we were unaware of what kind of work it would require. Many with the power to implement this change on our campus consider this project, proven to be

zations to investigate and respond to sexual assaults. 3. Create a campus consent policy. Consent is much more complicated than an absence of a “no,” and since the law, especially when considering alcohol use, does not navigate this complexity well, the university needs to establish a concrete definition and expectation of consent for prevention purposes and its own handling of sexual assault claims. 4. Develop a comprehensive amnesty policy. Alcohol plays a significant role in occurrences of sexual assaults on campuses. We need a policy that allows bystanders to intervene without fear of retribution related to alcohol. Some readers could consider us naive to suggest our university implement these policies. Pushing for innovation in a state with an aggressive and confrontational General Assembly may sound naive, but we understand the poor political climate better than most and maintain the same expectation. We do so because history is on the side of those who advocate for progress, especially universities. We are critical of our university because we care. We’ve been fortunate to develop close relationships with staff members and administrators, and we see the potential for powerful leadership on tough issues in our community. Just a few weeks before graduation, we are happy with our decision to attend UT. We care greatly about our peers, and we are proud of our professors’ audacity and achievements. We hope that in the future, we can return as proud alumni of a university that made the decision to boldly advance the community it leads. We all have the ability to make great change; recognize your power as an individual and never forget to push yourself and those around you.

Money on smokes is best spent elsewhere The Jeremiad by
Jeremy Brunger Any visitor to John C. Hodges Library is, no doubt, astounded at the wall of smoke he or she encounters outside of the big brick box the studious call home. Beyond these stacks are the smokestacks. Each semester, thousands of students receive their excess financial aid, pay for their housing and books, and use the rest of their aid for assorted pleasures, conveniences and necessities. What about cigarettes? The cost of a pack of cigarettes averages around $5. If a student — say, a sophomore — smokes maybe three packs a week, this cost will average around $15 per week. If there are 16 weeks in a semester and a student
smokes without cessation, that is one broke student. Even if the anxieties of senior year deplete the ego and rev up the appetite, the simplest of costbenefit analyses prove smoking is as useless as our parents said it was. There are countless charities in Knoxville. Rather than spending money on Marlboros and Camels — given the anti-corporate stance many university students claim to uphold — excess aid might be better spent if donated to these charities. Addiction is a prevalent problem in America, whether chemical or otherwise, and we are perhaps the most addicted nation in the developed world. Our major problem is a problem of health, of balance, of saying no to ourselves no matter the difficulty. It is no good thing that young brains tend to respond toward pleasures, such as smoking, on an intensive scale; neither is it a good thing that, at least for a few years in university, it is a somewhat acceptable lifestyle choice. Especially for those in the arts.
View this column online for a link to a list of charities that are all deserving of donations and which will not give anyone cancer. These charities range from animal shelters to hospital ward donations and outreach centers. Knoxville’s homeless population is growing — I’ve even met a few homeless liberal arts graduates — and the homeless shelter in the Old City is as worthy of your money as Phillip Morris. Rather than wasting money on pointless hedonism—and I am a smoker myself!—the student population might better serve itself, and its conscience, by spending money on those who need it most rather than feeding the corporate monoliths which produce tobacco. After all, they are The Man, and the little people are still suffering not a hundred feet from this research university. Jeremy Brunger is a senior in English. He can be reached at jbrunger@utk.edu.

achievable, too intensive and “unlikely to occur here.” As a flagship university for the state of Tennessee, we are failing to create positive change for our state. We have connected with powerful change-makers and have also been a part of national conferences and competitions that recognize large-scale change-makers. These other organizations view constructive progress as a high priority and have benefited. Our university does not, and we have suffered. UT re-branded itself with “Big Orange. Big Ideas.” but our actions do not support our branding. Our branding is reflective of an institution in the Top 25, but our actions place us comfortably in the Top 50. When we first presented our plans for Sex Week, we were encouraged to downsize because no other student organization had attempted a program so extensive. When we proved Sex Week would be successful, many chose — some instructed — to avoid working with us because many never believed we could achieve something others could not. We are happy with the past two Sex Weeks; feedback suggests we are making a positive difference in students’ lives and campus experiences. This process, however, was not smooth. We have received harsh criticism and unprecedented obstacles. This should not be the case at a university, the supposed marketplace for the exchange of ideas. In regards to our work with sexual health and assault, we believe UT should accomplish four goals in two years: 1. Create a mandatory sexual assault prevention course for all incoming freshmen. 2. Create a comprehensive, public protocol for preventing and responding to sexual assault and health issues. This would include hiring a full-time employee in the Center for Health Education and Wellness to handle sexual health and working with third party organi-

Sharp pitching helps Lady Vols fly past Furman, 8-0 Taylor White Staff Writer Following an uncharacteristic series loss to Mississippi State, the No. 8 Tennessee Lady Volunteer softball team bounced back strong, defeating the Furman Paladins 8-0 in six innings on Tuesday night at Sherri Park Lee Stadium. Strong pitching carried Tennessee through most of the game, as three hurlers combined for a threehit shutout of the Paladins. Sophomore Erin Gabriel got the start, pitching three innings of two-hit ball while setting the tone well for the Lady Vol pitching staff. Gabriel was replaced by junior Cheyanne Tarango who gave up only one hit and struck out three in two innings of work. Ace Ellen Renfroe pitched a quick sixth inning, and was credited with
her fourth save of the season. “I was very pleased with the pitching,� co-head coach Karen Weekly said. “No walks and no hit batters, and when you do that good things are bound to happen.� The Lady Vols struck first in the second inning as Melissa Davin scored on a Lexi Overstreet double to left field. Davin then drove in the speedy Shaliyah Geathers in the third on a sacrifice fly to shallow left field. The Tennessee offense struggled for the first five innings, though, recording only four hits and two runs. In the sixth inning, however, the bats came to life, as the Lady Vols scored six runs, and ended the game on a walk-off, two-RBI single from senior Madison Shipman. Furman starter Lauren Collier had retired eight straight batters before catcher Annie Aldrete reached on a leadoff error. Davin followed
that up with a walk, and then back to back hits from Haley Tobler and Tarango put the Vols up 4-0. After a hit by pitch, the bases were loaded and senior pitcher Ellen Renfroe stepped up to the plate for her first collegiate at-bat. Renfroe struck out swinging for the first out of the inning, but was able to laugh about her first plate appearance after the game. “I was not prepared at all,� Renfroe said. “I haven’t picked up a bat since high school. I didn’t have anything to lose, so I wasn’t really nervous. I don’t know what was really going through my head.� After a two-RBI double from Geathers, Shipman drove in her 44th and 45th RBIs of the season to end the game due to run rule in the sixth inning. Geathers has been a recent addition to the starting lineup, and her speed has added another dimension to a lineup

that is mostly comprised of power hitters. Batting leadoff, her speed at the top of the order has helped facilitate the offense at times. “Basically what Ralph and Karen ask of me is just to get on base,� Geathers said. “When I get on base, I’m kind of quick, so I can score really easily.� After dropping a tough series at home last weekend, the Lady Vols wanted to get back in the win column before heading to play a top10 Kentucky team for a threegame series this weekend. “This time of year you need wins any way you can get them,� Weekly said. “You’re fighting for postseason seeding, so every win you can get is important. Plus, we just really wanted to get back on the winning track after the weekend. “It’s just good to get back here in front of a great crowd on a beautiful night.�

Vols cannot ‘take control’ of state, drop another to ETSU, 9-7 Staff Report The Tennessee Volunteers dropped an in-state midweek contest Tuesday evening, falling to the East Tennessee State Buccaneers 9-7 at Thomas Stadium in Johnson City, Tenn. In the midst of dropping their second game of the season to
ETSU (20-18), the Vols (25-14) never led in Tuesday contest, falling behind 4-0 and never recovering. Junior righty Bret Marks (3-1) took the loss, giving up a run and a hit with two walks in just a single inning of work. Six UT relievers followed the Roswell, Ga., native, but the Vols couldn’t stifle the ETSU attack
as four of the six pitchers surrendered runs. ETSU senior Clinton Freeman – who delivered the deciding tworun homer in ETSU’s 2-1 victory over the Vols on April – continued his hot hitting against Dave Serrano’s squad on Tuesday. The Bucs’ first baseman went 1-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored. In the fourth
inning, he also launched his ninth home run of the year off Trevor Bettencourt, which gave ETSU a 5-3 advantage. Despite the early struggles, the Vols were still able to get the tying run to the plate in the top of the ninth. Entering the frame down 9-5, sophomore Christin Stewart laced an one-out RBI double that scored shortstop A.J. Simcox.
Freshman Nick Senzel followed with a single, scoring Stewart, and the defect was trimmed to 9-7 with designated hitter Scott Price at the dish. However, Price grounded into a 4-6-3 double play, thus ending the game and giving Freeman – who also serves as the team’s closer – his ninth save of the season.
On the evening, the Vols banged out 12 hits. Vincent Jackson – the hero from Sunday’s walk-off victory over Alabama – also continued his hot hitting as he blasted a solo home run in the top of the sixth. But the Vols stranded seven runners on base and hit just .182 (2-for-11) with two outs on the night.

UT RB Alden Hill leaves program Redshirt sophomore running back Alden Hill announced on Tuesday that he will be leaving the Tennessee Volunteer football program. “As of today I am sad to say I am no longer a Tennessee Vol,” Hill said in an Instagram post on Tuesday night. “I have decided to move on for my best interest and find a new home.” With the addition of three freshman running backs and the position change of senior Devrin Young from wide receiver to tailback, Hill’s potential to get a significant amount of reps took a large hit this offseason. The Alliance, Ohio, native played eight games for the Vols in 2013, carrying the ball 10 times for a total of 58 yards. Hill’s lone score of his career came with 7:14 remaining in the fourth quarter against Oregon on Sept. 14, 2013 on an 8-yard touchdown run. Hill was a three-star running back coming out

Staff Report
Former Tennessee running back Alden Hill runs through the ‘T’ during the Vols’ game against Georgia on Oct. 5 2013, at Neyland Stadium. On Tuesday, Hill announced via Instagram that he is transferring from UT. Marlington High School, according to Rivals.com. “I thank the coaches and the fans for my time here and (I) will always remember my time spent at Tennessee, my first true love,” Hill added. With Hill’s departure, only 11 players remain from the Vols’ 2012 recruiting class – defensive end LaTroy Lewis, defensive tackle Danny
O’Brien, linebackers Justin King and Kenny Bynum, quarterback Nathan Peterman, receivers Jason Croom, Drae Bowles and Cody Blanc and kicker George Bullock. Another member of the 2012 class, wide receiver Alton “Pig” Howard, is currently on leave from the program and his future status is uncertain.
Tennessee men’s basketball coach Donnie Tyndall, left, listens on with Chancellor Jimmy Cheek, middle, and fiancé Nikki Young, right, during his introductory press conference at Pratt Pavilion on Tuesday.
Tyndall says Vols will implement up-tempo, ‘aggressive’ scheme Dargan Southard Assistant Sports Editor As an energetic Donnie Tyndall bounded up to the stage for his introductory press conference Tuesday afternoon, he quickly made it known that same upbeat demeanor would find its way onto the basketball court as well. Tyndall, who was officially announced as Tennessee’s 19th head basketball coach in front of a hefty crowd at Pratt Pavilion, enjoys pushing the tempo. A lot. “Offensively, we are going to push the basketball on misses and long rebounds,” said Tyndall, who compared his ball-scoring style to that of Kansas. “In the half-court, we are going to run a high-low motion with a ton of ball screening, trying to give our guards the freedom to create and make plays.” On the defensive end, Tyndall
models his game plan after another one of college basketball’s perennial powerhouses — a squad the 43-year-old upset in 2011 for arguably his most monumental and noteworthy victory during his nine-year head coaching career. “Our defensive philosophy is much like Louisville,” said Tyndall, who as head coach of Morehead State toppled the fourth-seeded Cardinals in the second round of the 2011 NCAA tournament. “It is an aggressive, attacking type of basketball. We full court press on every made basket and dead ball. We get after people form end line to end line. We fall back to an aggressive matchup zone.” Alumni acknowledgment As was the case when current head football coach Butch Jones was hired in December 2012, Tyndall carved out a portion of Tuesday’s press conference just for saluting a plethora of former distinguished UT basketball stars. “When you look back at all the great pros,” Tyndall said, “(there’s) the All-Stars, the AllAmericans, from the ‘Ernie and Bernie Show,’ Tony White — who I grew up watching — and Allan Houston. “And then recent guys like Chris Lofton — one of the best shooters to ever play in the SEC — C.J. Watson, Tobias Harris, the list goes on and on. I hope we have a few more that will be added to that list in the future.” In the interview process with Athletic Director Dave Hart, Tyndall — without hesitation — chalked up welcoming back any former UT players as a primary goal during his tenure. No matter the era, everyone who donned the orange and
white is invited. “I didn’t have to initiate that conversation,” Hart said. “Donnie talked about that, and the fact that he wants everybody who has ever touched this program to feel special, that’s a priority for him.” Bonus breakdown Just hours after the opening press conference ended, the University released the Memorandum of Understanding — the official agreement signed by Tyndall and school officials Hart, Chancellor Jimmy Cheek and Chief Financial Officer Charles Peccolo. As well as outlining his official salary numbers and buyout figures, the MOU details various financial incentives Tyndall can acquire by reaching certain levels of on-court success. For in-conference milestones, the Vols’ new head coach will receive a $50,000 incentive for an SEC regular-season title — outright or shared — and a $25,000 bonus if he can lead UT to a conference tournament championship. As far as NCAA tournament achievements are concerned, Tyndall is due $50,000 if the Vols crack into the field of 68, $75,000 if he can navigate UT back to the Sweet 16 and $100,000 if Tyndall can take UT to just its second Elite Eight in school history. The incentives will max out if Tyndall can guide the program to uncharted postseason waters as the Grand Rapids, Mich., native will obtain $150,000 for a Final Four appearance and $250,000 for a national championship “This is the University of Tennessee,” Tyndall said. “You can compete to go to the Final Four and you can compete to win a national championship. “And that is my plan.”
TYNDALL
and Tennessee made UT’s fan base the victim of national criticism stemming from an online petition of more than 36,000 signatures that endorsed the firing of Martin and re-hiring of Bruce Pearl. That ordeal left the program with a black eye. And Tyndall, the man pegged with fixing it, turned serious when asked about the situation. “It has to start today,” Tyndall said of uniting the fan base. “Look, I’m a big fan of coach Pearl. I think he is fantastic. He is obviously a great coach and had great success. He is a dynamic personality. With all that being said, Coach Martin did an outstanding job and he had his niche. “But we have to put that behind us, and it has to start today. We all have to rally and get on the same bus, if you will.” Tyndall, who iterated that he hopes to bring his entire coaching staff from Southern Miss, wasn’t focused solely on winning over the fan base, however. The first item on his opening-statement agenda was congratulating the UT players on their 2013-14 Sweet 16 run. Not long after, he explained how he planned to build trust with the current squad. “I think we will hit it off right away because I told them in our first meeting that I’m never going to lie to them,” Tyndall said. “Some things that I tell them may hurt their feelings, but I’m a direct, straightforward person. “I’m going to look you in the eye and tell you what I think.

He loves to be around people.” The new Vols coach even cracked a joke in the direction of UT’s gauntlet basketball schedule next season when interviewing with the Vols. “Great sense of humor,” Hart added. “As a matter of fact, early in our conversation, when we got to next year’s schedule, he reached his hand out and said, ‘Nice to meet you, Dave. I hope our paths will cross again.’” The former Southern Miss coach also has ties to the local recruiting landscape. He was an assistant coach with LSU for four years from 1997-2001, and an associate head coach at Middle Tennessee from 20022006. “We are going to recruit the best players in America,” Tyndall said. “We will never ever walk into a gym and take second fiddle or be OK with finishing second on anyone we recruit. “When we walk in with that ‘T’ on our chest, people are going to say, ‘Oh boy, here comes Donnie and his crew, we better lace them up,’ because we are going to compete every day on the recruiting trail.” Tyndall becomes the 19th head coach in program history, but also the third in the last four years. Cuonzo Martin left his post last week after three seasons for the University of California head-coaching job. The divorce between Martin
