SGA hosts inaugural tailgate for Utah State game Hayley Brundige News Editor (@hayleybrundige)

Everyone’s invited.

Before UT squares off against Utah State for the first football game of the season, all students are invited to attend the “All Vol Tailgate” in the Humanities and Social Sciences Amphitheater.

Organized by the Student Government Association, the tailgate will start at 2 p.m. on Sunday and will feature free food, games and a chance for students to hang out before kick off.

Student organizations prepare for ‘Traditional Marriage Day’

“Tailgating is a big part of being a student at UT, and SGA thought it was really important to establish a tailgate that all students can go to,” said Connor Dugosh, SGA vice president and senior in English.

The tailgate is intended to bolster SGA’s new tagline, “Everyone’s a member.” Not all students are involved with Greek organizations, sports teams or clubs, said SGA Press Secretary Annie Carr, but everyone has a stake in the university.

Hosting a school-wide tailgate makes it easier for freshmen and students not affiliated with campus groups to feel involved and express school

“A lot of big SEC schools have big events like this where thousands of people turn out,” Carr said. “We definitely don’t think it’s going to be like that, because it’s the first year we’ve ever tried it.”

However, SGA President Kelsey Keny hopes the tailgate will act as a simple way for students to enjoy time with peers.

“This was just an initiative we wanted to take so all of us students have a spot where we can get together, enjoy some free food and fun, and get ready to cheer on the Vols,” Keny said.

Making a name

Tanner Hancock Not everyone is celebrating Traditional Marriage Day. Today, members of College Democrats and the university’s LGBT social organization “volOUT” will protest Traditional Marriage Day on Pedestrian Walkway from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In April 2013, the state legislature passed a resolution establishing Aug. 31 as “ido4life Traditional Marriage Day” in Tennessee.

The resolution referenced certain “physical, emotional and financial” benefits of conventional matrimony in addition to economic and emotional advantages for children. Citing the Bible, the resolution also specified marriage can only be expressed between man and wife.

In opposition, College Democrats and volOUT will hold a “photo protest,” inviting students to have their picture taken with handwritten responses to the question, “What is your definition of marriage?” The photos will then be collected and sent to members of the Tennessee Legislature.

For Thomas Tran, anthropology major and volOUT events coordinator, the protest provides an opportunity to spread awareness.

“It’s a friendly protest against the idea of ‘Traditional Marriage Day,’” said Tran, who believes the term “marriage” has been “hijacked,” by certain office-holders. “We believe that [marriage] should be between any two people that love each other.”

Community voices have questioned the necessity of the resolution, given that a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage was passed in 2006.

spirit, Carr said. “[Right before a game], you really want to be excited, and you really want to hang out with people who are also excited,” Carr said. “But, if you don’t want to necessarily drink or don’t know anybody who is already tailgating it’s hard, and you might just end up sitting in your dorm room and then just showing up at the game—and that’s it.”

Inspiration for the tailgate came from a tradition called “Everybody’s Tent,” an event Ole Miss University’s student government hosts four times each season.

Jalen R Reeves-Maybin didn’t see the field much as a true freshman, but, fortunately, that didn’t didn stop him from establishing himself amon among the Volunteer faithful.

Admitt Admittedly, the sophomore linebacker from Cla Clarksville, Tennessee, spent most 20 season on special teams. But, of the 2013 capitaliz capitalizing on that opportunity, ReevesMaybi led all special teams’ players Maybin with 11 tackles and sparked one of the season’s biggest plays when he bloc blocked a Georgia punt that was sc scooped up and taken into the end z zone.

“I think Jalen Reeves-Maybin is a great illustration of how to

develop players in your program,” secondyear head coach Butch Jones said. “Jalen played for us as a true freshman, but he played very limited on defense, but he was one our best players on special teams.”

Headed into the 2014 season, ReevesMaybin is now expected to play a much larger defensive role for the Vols, as he was named the starting weakside linebacker going into Sunday’s opener against Utah State.

Known for making big plays on special teams, the linebacker hopes to use that experience to become an every down player.

“I just try to make people know my name,” Reeves-Maybin said. “That’s the best way to do it, is to make big plays when big plays are expected.”

Let’s get organized New ambassador program to bridge gaps between student organizations Victoria Brown Staff Writer

An organization to help all organizations.

Introduced this year, Volunteer Organization Link is a program aiming to create camaraderie between student organizations. Run by the Center for Student Engagement, the “ambassadors” of this new program will serve as advisers

Editorially independent student newspaper of the Unversity of Tennessee established in 1906

and advocates for student organizations.

Loosely defined, the ambassadors will encourage involvement on campus, promote cohesion between UT’s 450 organizations and raise the visibility of student groups through social media and marketing campaigns.

Abigail Brumfield, a graduate assistant at the Center for Student Engagement, played an influential role in the development of the VOL Ambassadors program.

“It will bridge the gap between 450 student organizations and help create a

centralized message,” said Brumfield, who also works with the Student Organization Outreach program. “[VOL Ambassadors] will make sure that they are all receiving the information that will be beneficial to them being successful on campus.”

Brumfield said program members will also help pool resources for student organizations, including information about “risk management, conflict resolution and working with budgets.”

The application process will end Sept.

5. Although Brumfield said the program is open to “any and all” students, those with experience in other leadership roles on campus are most likely to succeed in the program.

“We’re looking for students who are

passionate about their work and wanting to help other organizations grow,” said Ashleigh Moyer, director of the Center for Student Engagement. Moyer helped develop the VOL Ambassadors program.

After selecting members, the program will discuss committees and executive leadership opportunities within the organization. The ambassadors will then help run workshops and other activities meant to build leadership skills, including a hazing prevention workshop in September and a funding panel workshop in October.

“I think it’s an excellent opportunity for students that are looking to start an organization, just from the ground level,” Brumfield said.

Weston Bell, senior and vice-president of UT’s chapter of College Republicans views the issue in a political light.

Mitchell Thompson, president of College Democrats and junior in economics, has high hopes for this Friday’s protest.

“We hope to raise awareness, to enlighten and also inform these legislatures that what they’re doing is not okay,” Thompson said.

While Thompson doesn’t anticipate a response from the state capitol, he maintained the importance of simply voicing concern.

Legislators, Thompson noted, “tend to alienate themselves in Nashville,” where they often fail to recognize “dissenting opinions.”

Thompson said, “There are people who view this ‘Traditional Marriage Day’ as an attack on their rights.” now, the All Vol Tailgate is on its trial run.

“If everything goes well, we get great responses and students want this to be around all the time, then we would love for it to be an every single game thing,” Carr said.

“But for now, it’s just a way to get involved in the first game of the season.”

The All Vol Tailgate could mark the dawn of a more inclusive game day.

“Getting involved isn’t all about joining clubs or being a member of an organization,” Carr said.

“It’s about being a part of a community on campus.”

“My main objective here is for the free food, but I’m interested in what UT and Career Services has to offer. My dream job involves working with people.”

Campus to be ‘Spoon’ fed this fall Bradi Musil Assistant News Editor Spoon University is currently the only national food publication written by and for college students. After hearing about the online magazine from a friend at Princeton University, Alana Stein, a junior in College Scholars, has been recruiting students for a Knoxville edition.

“I really just love food, that’s basically the gist of it,” said Stein. “My major is about food, my life is about food.”

The publication is composed of student contributors across the country, reporting from more than 35 campuses nationwide and boasting a network of more than 900 student writers. UT students can now apply online (through ut.spoonuniversity. com) for a variety of positions as writers, photographers, editors or marketing directors for the edition. Stein, applying for the position of editor-in-chief, must recruit at least 15 applicants from UT. Already, she has received 13 applications.

Stein said she was drawn to the site for its realistic approach to food on a college budget.

“A lot of things out there about food

are for people with fancy kitchens or lots of money to spend on things, but Spoon University is for college students,” she said.

Covering topics like local restaurants, university dining halls, drink recipes and hangover prevention tips, Spoon University publishes an eclectic range of content. For Stein, an article about how to “pimp-up your ramen” held particular interest.

Josh Ferrell, a junior in computer science assisting Stein with marketing for the magazine, said he believes the publication will serve as a resource for students with limited culinary skills and limited budgets.

Ferrel looks forward to contributing some of his own cooking tips to the edition, like his fiveminute, coffee-flavored brownies.

“A student here doesn’t have a lot of resources that they can cook with,” Ferrell said. “If you live in Morrill, you have a microwave that you can cook with. So, if you’re cooking something you have to think about what limited resources you have. I’d like to approach it that way, like what can you cook with just a microwave?”

Also intrigued by the magazine’s quirky and unconventional pieces, Greta Hoffman, a junior in special education, has applied to be a writer for Spoon University at UT. “I checked out the website, and the vibe was just super funky and the style is so unique,” Hoffman said. “I don’t want to say it’s like ‘The

Thus far, applicants represent a wide variety of students. From freshmen to seniors, all hail from diverse pockets of campus.

Onion,’ but it almost is. It’s got that sarcastic flair to it.”

Although both Stein and Hoffman have little experience writing about food, they are excited to spotlight some of Knoxville’s atypical offerings.

“I just really want this to become a Knoxville thing, not just a campus thing,” Hoffman said.

Stein has also applied for Spoon University to become an official organization on campus. If approved by the Center for Student Involvement, she hopes to host events throughout the year, such as food demonstrations and tastings.

“It’s not for people who know a lot about food,” Stein said. “Its just for college students to help spread the word about how everyone’s getting fed.”

Once a team of contributors is confirmed, UT’s edition of Spoon University should begin producing articles in mid-September.

“Most people don’t think about the applications of a food magazine, they just think it’s not really relevant to me as a student because I can’t cook and I don’t have time to cook,” Feller said.

“But this is very different.”

For more information about Spoon University, email Alana Stein at sstein4@vols.utk.edu.

Applications to contribute to the magazine will close Sept. 5.

who have a lot, because I think it will add to the overall dynamic of the organization and be a really positive experience for everyone.”

Ultimately, Brumfield hopes the VOL Ambassadors will make student organizations more effective, enhancing the involvement experience for everyone.

“I’m really looking for folks that are excited about engaging in student organizations, have had good student organization experiences and are looking to make big changes in our student organization community,” Brumfield said.

Students can apply at go.utk.edu through Sept. 5 at 5 p.m. For more information email Abigail at go@utk.edu.

BOOMSDAY 2014

Boomsday full of fireworks and more Victoria Brown Staff Writer Boomsday, Knoxville’s pride and joy, occurs each year on Labor Day weekend. The holiday is always accompanied by a slew of parties, and choosing a celebration to attend Saturday can prove overwhelming. Never fear– check out the Daily Beacon’s list below to find your perfect Boomsday hangout.

1. 7th Annual Boomsday Bluegrass & BBQ The Mabry-Hazen House will host their 7th Annual Boomsday celebration this Saturday. The event will be held atop Mabry Hill, offering a great view of Downtown Knoxville. Tables, chairs and tents will be available for guests and WDVX will provide music for the night.

“It’s a wonderful event,” Calvin Chappelle, executive director of the Mabry-Hazen House, said.

“It’s a way for a small section of the community to enjoy the event.

It’s a great view of the fireworks without all of the traffic, and you get a little history on the side.”

Tours of the Mabry-Hazen House will begin at 6 p.m. and food will be served at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for the event are $60.

2. Orange and White Parade of Boats The East Tenneessee Children’s Hospital will host the Orange and White Parade of Boats to raise money for the hospital. The most outrageously decorated boat, most enthusiastic crew and the biggest UT fans will each receive a trophy decked in orange and white. The “Committee of the Future” and a surprise celebrity will begin judging at 4 p.m. The parade and its winners can also be caught on ESPN this weekend.

Each boat entry is $100 with registration starting at 10 a.m.

3. Madre CD Release Party Local indie rock band Madre will join forces with fellow Knoxville rockers Gamenight and Marina Orchestra at the Pilot Light this weekend, simultaneously celebrating their second album and the holiday. Kent Oglesby, founder of Knoxville Music Warehouse, recommends taking your post-firework energy to Old City, where you can dance the rest of your night away.

“With the holiday weekend and the show following Boomsday, it’s a time when energies are high,” Oglesby said. “If you put that kind of crowd momentum in front of

Madre, whose live show is already a raucous good time, it has the makings of a special night.”

The show starts at 10 p.m., and tickets are $5.

4. 27th Annual Boomsday Festival Be sure to stop by Boomsday’s signature party on Neyland Drive, complete with live music, shopping and entertainment hosted by Visit Knoxville, the city’s official tourism bureau. Visit Knoxville President Kim Bumpas said the event always strives to support East Tennessee artists and musicians.

“From the early stages of planning, Visit Knoxville worked to incorporate local entertainers, craftspeople and vendors into Boomsday 2014,” Bumpas said.

The free festivities will begin at 3 p.m.

5. Rodney Atkins Boomsday After-Party Immediately following the fireworks display, country fans can pack into Thompson-Boling Area for the “Rodney Atkins Boomsday After-Party.” An East Tennessee native, Adkins will return home to keep the party going long after the sparks have flickered out.

The concert begins at 10 p.m., and tickets are $20.

Top 5 Boomsday viewing spots annual fireworks display. As the largest Labor Day fireworks show in the nation, a great location to watch Boomsday is paramount. To Boomsday is a long-standing tradition in help you out, the Daily Beacon has picked the the Knoxville area, and locals never tire of the six best locations in town.

Savannah Gilman Staff Writer

Neyland Drive

Featuring live music, water shows and a two-mile stretch of riverfront, Neyland Drive is prime real estate for Boomsday weekend. The celebration runs from 3-9:30 p.m. and fireworks begin at 9 p.m.

Neyland Stadium Parking Garage

Although the parking garage will be flooded with tailgaters, students and tourists, braving the crowd will earn you one of the nicest elevated views in the city. The garage will open for event parking, making it an ideal location for big groups and families.

Church Street United Methodist Church Elevated and facing the river, this church promises a stellar view as well as food, games and activities before the display. However, there is a fee for event parking and admission, $10 per car or $15 for a premium parking space.

The Hill

The Hill provides an easily accessible location for on-campus students with few companions to manage. We recommend the back of the Hill between Dabney-Buehler Hall and the Science and Engineering Research Facility.

The River Bluffs on Cherokee Trail

Relatively unknown and lightly traveled, this trail leads to a spot overlooking campus from across the river. However, reaching the overlook will require a mild hike on a gravel trail. Still, the coveted view is well worth the physical effort.

Home

Seriously. If you live in an apartment complex, gather your neighbors for some community bonding like Alyssa Loveday, sophomore in psychology.

“It’s a good way to meet people, and the view of the fireworks over the river look amazing,” Loveday said.

Don’t have a balcony? The fireworks show is also televised, allowing you to grill some hot dogs and cuddle up on the couch.

Rideshare app arrives on scene for hectic weekend Claire Dodson Editor-in-Chief (@claire_ifying)

It’s an all too common scenario.

You’re downtown or in the Fort with friends on a Saturday night when, suddenly, everyone is a little too drunk to drive home.

You’re faced with two options: walk through dimly lit streets in the middle of the night or drive anyway, and your decision may put lives in danger.

With the arrival of UberX – a technology which connects riders to drivers – in Knoxville, there’s finally an app for that.

Already widely used in major cities like New York City and Washington, D.C., Uber opened in 22 additional markets Thursday, many of them mid-sized college towns.

Billy Guernier, Uber’s general manager for the southeastern region, discussed the selection of Knoxville as a location for the service.

“It’s more compelling in towns with a less reliable transportation infrastructure,” Guernier said. “I lived in Washington, D.C., where you couldn’t get a cab sometimes.

In towns like Knoxville, getting a cab isn’t really an option.

“When you have less public transit it becomes a choice between going out and having a bottle of wine and having to make a safe choice.”

Malorie Cunningham, senior in journal-

ism and electronic media, interned in New York City last summer where she once took an Uber cab. Still, Cunningham is uncertain about the app’s effectiveness in Knoxville.

“I would say a perk would be safety,” Cunningham said, “but I am also not sure if UT needs an Uber. I think they have cabs and school buses that work adequately.”

This weekend, UberX is offering five free rides, for fares up to $25, through Monday using the promo code VOLSFREE. The promotion comes just in time for Boomsday and the opening football game versus Utah State.

Guernier hopes UberX will be an effective third option for the Knoxville community.

“It’s a cheap but reliable way to get home, and it takes making bad decisions about drunk driving off the table,” Guernier said.

While the Uber company also includes taxis and town cars, UberX is the lowest cost option and is marketed as a rideshare and taxi alternative. Users open the app on their smartphones and then order rides via credit card in a completely cashless system.

Drivers use their own cars to provide the service. But, prior to joining the company, must complete an extensive vetting process which includes document checks as well as a background check including the sex offender registry and driving records. After selection, Uber then insures the ride for up to $1 million per accident.

In addition, the app employs a rating system of one to five stars for riders to review their experience. The app also offers this system for drivers, allowing them to review individual riders.

“Drivers like having a voice,” Guernier said. “Just like people who aren’t good drivers, you get people who aren’t good customers, who are verbally abusive or are doing things they shouldn’t.”

In New York City, Uber has garnered controversy for its prices compared to the city’s cab service, around 20 percent lower according to Uber’s blog. While Guernier said Uber has not received resistance to the app by local cab services yet, he anticipates implementing the service will be an “educational process” for everyone.

But the cost-effectiveness is also a potential drawback for college students. The cost of a ride includes a $2.50 fee plus 20 cents per minute and $1.25 per mile. For a ride from Neyland Stadium to the Public House on Magnolia Avenue, this puts the rate at $7, according to an email sent out by the company Thursday.

“In every market it’s a new thing,” Guernier said. “We want to continue to work with local officials to develop policies which work with local transportation while still protecting innovation.”

More information about UberX can be be found on their website at www.uber.com.

Comcast truly is ‘worst company in America’ Slice of Life by

Grayson Hawkins

Comcast is the worst company in America, according to Consumerist’s annual online poll – yes, worse than Aramark. This comes as no surprise, as a Google search of the company yields nothing but increasingly negative news articles sprinkled among Comcast’s own websites and advertisements. Hell, even “/r/ technology” (one of the largest pages on Reddit) has introduced a “No Comcast” filter due to the massive influx of anti-Comcast submissions. Most of these “horror stories” involve videos or recordings of frustrated customers sitting on hold for several hours, just for the call to be answered by rude, generally unintelligent customer service representatives spouting phrases like “the download is probably a virus” or, alternatively, the download is “too heavy” for Comcast servers.

The massive success of such a despot company is likely due to their seemingly unlimited budget for advertising. I can’t watch an episode of “Tosh.0” without viewing at least four commercials for the infamously terrible business. Moreover, Comcast has been known to sling quite a lot of money toward politicians. Indeed, Comcast has granted donations exceeding $10,000 to 37 members of Congress, including Tennessee’s own Sen. Marsha Blackburn. Eighteen Congressional representatives, including former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and current Speaker of the House John Boehner, own stock in Comcast. These statistics are all available to the public. All aforementioned donations come in addition to the $2.6 million budget of the NBC/Comcast Political Action Committee.

Comcast has also managed to spend $18 million on “lobbying.” It should be noted 80 percent of Comcast’s “lobbyists” are former employees of the federal government, all of whom hold ties to current federal employees, lawmakers, committee chairs and the like.

The majority of Comcast’s lobbying has been in opposition to net neutrality. Comcast wants to control what you see on the Web and, scarily, this might actually happen.

Comcast recently announced its merger with Time Warner Cable, meaning Comcast will soon control roughly 40 percent of the broadband market in the United States. They’re going to rake in more profit, screw over more customers, give more politicians more money and hire more lobbyists, eventually leaving everyone else with less. People have petitioned the Federal Communications Commision, local senators and representatives and even the White House trying to prevent this merger from happening. But it’s still going to happen. It’s all about the cash-flow, not the people.

My editor, Kevin, would probably prefer me to end on a good note, so lets look at a few alternatives to Comcast: Google Fiber is the diamond standard for personal and business Internet connections. One gigabyte (not gigabit!) per second connection comes at only $70 per month. Google also offers free Internet connection at a standard 3-5 mb/s speed after a $300 installation fee. Sadly, Google Fiber is still in its infancy and only available in select cities.

Another alternative comes from the neighboring (but not as cool) city of Chattanooga. There, the only broadband connection available is Chattanooga’s publicly owned fiber-optic network. The network has earned high praise from experts, consumers and public officials alike, with a seemingly little number of downsides.

But, right now, you’re probably living where Comcast is the only option. In the field of Internet service providers, Knoxville has little (read: nothing) to offer. And that, frankly, is bullsh*t. I would suggest giving Mayor Rogero a call (865-215-2040). After all, it’s 2014, man. Come on.

Campus stock analysis: think before you buy The Vol Street

Journal by

Rob Graham The stock market has become a launching point for movies, TV shows and the drug habits of Ivy League graduates. Today, in The Volstreet Journal, we will take a look at the different markets composing our campus and, using pinpoint accurate analysis, determine whether you should buy, sell or hold the “stocks” which make up your campus portfolio.

BUY: The return of the bridge: Back in the days of Dooley, when the seniors were but starryeyed freshmen, there was a bridge connecting the Hill to the end of pedestrian. Legend has it one could walk to the Hill with only the sweat of a light jog rolling down their face as they settled into a seat for their Philosophy 101 lecture. Then, in an unannounced/fairly well communicated move (the story varies), Chancellor Jimmy Cheek personally and viciously tore the bridge down with his bare hands. Now, in the modern renaissance that is UT’s drive to become a Top 25 school, the bridge has returned, and with it our morale.

hour-long waits and ridiculous bureaucracy than praise. There’s actually a sign at the bursar’s office asking you to go to One Stop with all your questions; which, ironically, forces you to make two stops. By the amount of people sitting on the ground, the One Stop also makes the bottom floor of the library look like a campus protest. Perhaps this was intentional, in case anyone ever tries to protest One Stop? Everyone would ignore them, thinking it’s just business as usual. Luckily, the workers and associates are all friendly and helpful, though understaffed.

“I’m a freshman by year, but a sophomore by hours”: No one’s impressed.

HOLD: Netflix binge-watching: If you actually go look at Netflix stock, there’s a huge dip in share price between March 20 and May 15. Do you know why? Because Netflix is sustained by college students consuming an entire season of “Breaking Bad” in a weekend. From spring break until finals are over, there is no time for Netflix because we’re either too busy devoting ourselves to the most important time of the year, or we’re studying for finals. If football season goes our way, I say sell– our weekends will be spent pursuing much more worthy endeavors.

Tennessee forever.

Give people the choice on drugs Guest Column by

Samuel Henniger It should not be illegal for a person to harm themselves.

From marijuana to methamphetamine, a range of drugs have been criminalized on the premise they are harmful to the user and their peers. There are many reasons to decriminalize drugs. It could end violent crime from the drug trade, increase our tax revenue and reduce our incredibly high incarceration rate.

However, it should not require any of these arguments to justify the end of criminality associated with drugs.

The most powerful argument a person can make also happens to be the most simple: if a person chooses to make a decision which is physically harmful to only their person, they should not be punished for doing so.

Punishment is clearly an ineffective deterrent, given that these people willingly

lies the mecca of campus coffee shops.

Weird student art? You know it. Hipsters on MacBooks – do you even need to ask?

The real reason Golden Roast is such a strong buy lies in the people who run it and the manner in which they do. Cheerful, kind small business owners aren’t a hard demographic to get behind. Also, I was able to go to Golden Roast and back from Haslam in the time it takes to get through the lines of other on-campus locations (this isn’t hyperbole, the Einstein’s line was backed out into the atrium of Haslam, and Starbucks was out their door as well).

Career Services: The point of college is to expand your mind, learn to examine the world and unlock your potential. Now we’ve satisfied the philosophy majors, let’s talk about what actually matters: getting a job you can stand after college (just a joke, please don’t send me any emails. I would have picked the English majors, but they edit my articles). Editor’s Note: Screw you, Graham. One of the, unfortunately, bestkept secrets at UT is the Career Services staff in Dunford Hall. Once they have a more centralized location in the new student union, expect to see this stock skyrocket.

chose to harm themselves in the first place.

Incarceration for violent acts against other people is justified, as it delivers a proper reciprocal action. If a person takes a dangerous drug, granting another punishment would not serve any equitable purpose in our society.

For those who believe drugs should be illegal because of their negative effects on other people, it is important to recognize that many legal activities pose significant risk to our communities.

Even the operation of a motor vehicle under entirely legal conditions has the potential to cause serious injuries and death.

Contact sports like football pose the possibility of injury while abiding by the rules of the game. If our legal system inhibited all activities which could potentially harm others, we would be left without many of our economic necessities as well as celebrated cultural forms of expression.

Often, opponents point to the fact that drug use can destroy families. Many of our favorite foods could lead to an abundance of health issues, such as obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Regularly standing in the sun for long periods of time

can result in a skin cancer diagnosis. Any of these activities have the potential to place unbearable strain on a family, yet we give people the freedom to make a choice they deem appropriate.

Despite thousands of people continuing to die for reasons like fat intake or high sun exposure, we remain committed to the belief people deserve to make their own decisions.

Yet, when we talk about drugs, people continue to cite deaths caused by overdose as a reason for prohibition.

It defies reason to bar people from making decisions harmful to them. If we recognize this logical fallacy, yet still base our arguments on it, we need to take a long look at the other potentially harmful activities we allow.

Bands collaborate for Boomsday weekend festivities Jenna Butz Arts & Culture Editor (@butzjenna)

Melodi Erdogan Copy Editor (@melodierdogan)

Saturday night, Tennessee musicians will join forces to celebrate East Tennessee’s No. 1 party weekend.

SharkWeek, Penicillin Baby and Johnny Astro and The Big Bang -- some of the state’s best rock bands -- will party at Scruffy City Hall in celebration of Boomsday and the Vols’ first game of the season.

SharkWeek, originally from Chattanooga, will kick off the show with their mixture of electrified folk and psychedelic rock. Nashville’s Penicillin Baby’s jam-esque garage rock will follow, giving Penicillin Baby guitarist Jon Tyler Conant, a chance to showcase a fresh batch of songs. After working on their new record for two months during the summer, Conant said the band is eager to start performing again, first playing a lineup of shows in Nashville before

heading east for Boomsday. “People in Knoxville have been friendly. We’ve always had a good time there,�

Conant said. “Obviously in Nashville it’s different when you’re playing for a crowd where you know most of them. It’s probably a little easier to let loose and have fun when you’re playing for a crowd of a bunch of strangers. Knoxville people have already been fun.�

Drawing inspiration from the music of the ‘60s and ‘70s, Conant said fans can expect a unique, slightly nostalgic sound. “I like to think that what we do is pretty unique,� Conant said. “I think we’re doing our own take on a couple different things, kind of sitting in a space between a couple different spots that no one’s currently occupying. That’s been our goal from the start to kind of find a place to exist where nobody else is existing, but still be close enough to other things where people can still accept it.�

Johnny Astro and The Big Bang will close the show with a repeat Boomsday performance. “We played Boomsday last year, and we had a good time,� guitarist Patrick Tice said. “I guess they wanted to have a

Formed in 2009, Johnny Astro and The Big Bang is currently producing their first full-length album entitled “Monuments,� a follow-up to their “Thick as Thieves� EP. “Monuments,�

Tice said, will focus on ambience rather than lyrics, a departure from previous

albums.

However, the band will retain its “monster rock� style. “I call us monster rock because it’s really hard for me to classify us into a genre today,� Tice said. “If this were early 2000s, I might say progressive-alternative rock with emphasis on the rock, but

today there aren’t a ton of bands doing, in my mind, trying to do what we’re doing.�

Though Tice has never played alongside SharkWeek or Penicillin Baby before, he remarked that both bands “sound awesome.�

The show starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $5.

*- Stats from the 2013 season

The catchy name and the playmaking abilities that come with it have dominated Knoxville’s recent football conversations.

But when Utah State trots onto the Neyland Stadium grass for Sunday’s season opener, much more firepower will be arriving than just the Aggies’ decorated senior signal caller.

“Let’s make one thing clear,” Volunteers head coach Butch Jones said, “it’s not just Chuckie Keeton.”

Since the start of 2011, Utah State has compiled a 27-13 record with three straight bowl appearances, including a program-best 11 victories in 2012.

And well aware of the recent string of success, Jones stressed Wednesday that the Aggies’ recent romp through the Mountain West Conference isn’t happening on only one set of shoulders.

“There’s a reason why they’ve won the amount of games that they’ve won,” Jones said. “They’re talented across the board. Their defense is a really good defense. They’re tough.

They’re physical. They run to the football.

They play angry.”

Spearheading the Aggies’ defensive assault is junior linebacker Kyler Fackrell, who garnered a bevy of national accolades and recognition following his sophomore campaign.

After racking up 82 total takedowns, five sacks and a team-high 13 tackles for loss in 2013, the Mesa, Arizona, native was selected to the Phil Steele First-Team All-Mountain West (2013) and was pegged College Football News Sophomore Honorable Mention AllAmerican.

“They’re a really good defense, very sound in their coverages,” quarterback Justin Worley said. “They don’t miss assignments too often, and you can tell they’re very well-coached.

Looking at their roster and stuff, they’ve lost a few guys in their secondary so they’re a little unproven there, but overall, they’ve got a pretty solid defense.”

With fourth-round NFL draft picks Maurice Alexander and Nevin Lawson both departed from the Utah State secondary, the Aggies’

2014 defensive unit beckoned for immediate newcomer impact – a scenario sophomore cornerback Daniel Gray exploited with authority this offseason.

But the extensive trek east to Neyland won’t be an unfamiliar one for the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native, who signed with the Vols out of high school and played one season under ex-UT head coach Derek Dooley.

In 2012, Gray started one game — UT’s, 55-48, win over Troy — and saw action in another seven, racking up six total tackles along the way. But following the Vols’ most recent coaching shakeup, Gray opted to transfer west in May 2013, joining two of his former prep teammates who were already roaming the Utah State sideline.

And after sitting out all of last season, the 5-foot-11, 170-pound Gray is itching to kick off his first of three remaining years of eligibility with a homecoming of sorts.

“He’s played really well in training camp,” Utah State head coach Matt Wells told reporters. “It will be his first start as a Utah State Aggie. I’m sure there will be mixed emotions for him going in. He needs to be able to control those and play each snap and move on and have success. If there wasn’t something so good, move on and play the next play. He better have a short mentality at cornerback in any game.

“I’m sure he’ll have some mixed emotions, but he’s played well the last couple weeks of training camp. He’s known since the minute he walked in here that this was the opening game.”

TENNESSEE

Recruiting Update Nathanael Rutherford

New era of UT football arises against USU

Van Jefferson, a four-star wide receiver from Brentwood, Tennessee, was one of the Vols’ top remaining targets heading into the start of the 2014 football season. Jefferson had narrowed down his college choices from 14 scholarship offers to three: Tennessee, Ohio State and Georgia. The Vols were confident they would land the No. 2 overall player in the state heading into Monday.

Jefferson, however, had other plans as the No. 103 overall prospect chose Georgia, electing to move further away from home.

Jefferson cited UT’s depth at wide receiver as one of the main reasons he elected not to commit to the Volunteers.

While Tennessee missed out on one of the more talented in-state products for the 2015 class, they received good news from the recruiting trail Saturday.

Venzell Boulware, a three-star offensive lineman from Fairburn, Georgia, celebrated his 17th birthday Saturday by committing to the Vols. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound lineman gives the Vols their 23rd known commitment for the 2015 class and their fourth from a projected offensive lineman.

Upcoming visitors: The Vols are expecting several visits from top recruits in the next couple months, ranging from prospects in the 2015 class to a QB in the 2017 class.

Four-star defensive back Donte Vaughn of the 2016 class told 247Sports’ director of recruiting, Barton Simmons, he plans to visit Tennessee on Sunday for its opener against Utah State. He visited the Vols this summer for their final camp of the summer, and he told Simmons the trip to Tennessee “stood out” among his other visits.

Vaughn, a native of Memphis, is the No. 161 overall prospect and No. 14 cornerback in the class of 2016.

Joining Vaughn this Sunday will be four-star quarterback Hunter Johnson.

Johnson, the No. 9 overall recruit and No. 1 prostyle quarterback for the 2017 class, told 247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong he plans on attending the Vols’ opening game of 2014 Sunday after attending one of their camps this summer.

The Vols extended Johnson a scholarship offer after his performance in the camp, and he has already picked up offers from Kentucky and Purdue and is receiving attention from other top programs, such as Notre Dame.

Approaching one of its biggest weekends in recent memory, Knoxville is abuzz with Boomsday festivities scheduled for Saturday and the season opener for the Volunteers Sunday.

That noise, though, could quickly turn to silence if Tennessee were to lose to Utah State inside Neyland Stadium.

And this upset is not too hard to fathom. The Aggies, led by dark horse candidate Chuckie Keeton, are currently riding a wave of two consecutive seasons ending with a bowl victory.

Suffice it to say, the Vols are not taking Sunday’s contest for granted.

“I know that all too well from being at Central Michigan,” said head coach Butch Jones about underestimating non-power five conference opponents. “There are great football players (on that team). All you have to do is look at the body of work over a long period of time from what is going on at Utah State. They have done a tremendous job.

“All you have to do is put their film on, and if you know anything about football then you say ‘This is a really good football team.’”

The Vols, however, can’t say the same for their squad.

With 32 newcomers, and as many as 28 expected to play against Utah State, the strength of UT’s roster remains a mystery.

“I said it when we started training camp with this team: we’re teaching this team, and you can’t assume anything,” Jones said.

“From how do they run out of the ‘T,’ which sideline do they run to,

“You have to put them through anything and everything, but really when the ball is kicked off and it’s for real, you do what you do. You play football. You rely on your instincts and your training and you go with it. You have to rely on your discipline.”

While this young group of men will take to Shields-Watkins Field for the first time Sunday, the veteran members of this team believe they are prepared to handle what lies ahead.

“I expect them to play like

veterans,” senior safety Brian Randolph said. “We feel like we did a good job of getting them prepared … I just try to talk to them and let them know, I know what they’re feeling. I tell them, ‘This is still the game you’ve been playing since you were a little boy.

Nothing has changed.’”

Regardless of the outcome, Sunday’s contest will usher in a new era of Tennessee football, and with a sold out crown on hand, the Vols hope to kick it off with some fireworks.

“It is exciting because I think

they are the future of Tennessee football,” Jones said. “This football team is going to be intact for many years to come … That is what makes it exciting. We get to raise this football team as Vol Nation. They are going to continually see them grow up.

“There are many challenges that are presented, but I know this football team is eager. They are full of energy. They want to be led and they are hungry. I like that in our football team.”

Aggies’ QB could rain on Knoxville’s anticipated weekend Sunday season against the stage two-day

gate unlike anything Knoxville has experienced in a decade.

On Saturday, Boomsday festivities begin at 3 p.m. and culminate with a fireworks show over the Tennessee River. For some, the holiday weekend will start as early as Thursday night.

Fans will congregate Saturday in the same parking lots and grassy spots where they will tailgate on Sunday. And the entire experience will be caked in the overflowing optimism and anticipation that accompanies the first football game of the season in an SEC town.

Barring severe weather, it may seem that nothing could ruin one of Knoxville’s marquee weekends.

But Chuckie Keeton could.

The Utah State senior quarterback might be the best signal caller the Vols face in 2014 and he leads a team that won nine games in 2013 while playing without him for much of the season.

“We all understand what we are in for with quarterback Chuckie Keeton,” UT coach Butch Jones said Tuesday.

Statistically, they are in for a mobile quarterback who completes nearly 70 percent of his passes.

In one full season and two partial seasons as the Aggies quarterback, Keeton has racked up 70 total touchdowns.

If Keeton is close to 100 percent after suffering an ACL tear midway through 2013, recent history shows that UT could provide

REEVES-MAYBIN continued from Page 1 The transition from special teams to an every down player requires hard work, though, both in the film room and weight room. Luckily, ReevesMaybin has been up to both of those tasks during the offseason.

“He’s a total different player then he was from last season,” linebackers coach Tommy Thigpen said. “He knew in the meeting rooms where to lineup, but when he got out on the field, it was too fast for him.

Now him and A.J. [Johnson] are probably our best two linebackers out there.”

Gaining almost 40 pounds during the offseason, ReevesMaybin believes the added weight will prepare him for the rigors of playing in the SEC, especially those big offensive linemen.

“I can take on blocks a lot better,” Reeves-Maybin said.

“Being in the weight room,

him an early stage to bolster the #Chuckie4Heisman campaign that Utah State is advertising.

Quarterbacks with less ability than Keeton, like Missouri’s Maty Mauk and South Alabama’s Ross Metheny, ran freely against the Vols in 2013.

And ancient history is not relevant to the conversation when it comes to examining prior instances of UT opening the season against Mountain West foes.

When the Vols kicked off the 2004 season on Labor Day weekend with a Sunday contest against University of Nevada, Las Vegas, UT won handily.

To avoid a redundant recitation of UT’s fall from relevancy since that game, suffice it to say things have changed for the Vols.

Little does it matter that Utah State plays in a stadium that seats just a quarter of what Neyland Stadium holds. Irrelevant is the fact that the Aggies cannot hold a candle to the tradition of UT football.

When they strap the pads on Sunday night, it’s just two football teams. One has been to three consecutive bowls. The other will start several players who were in middle school the last time their program qualified for the postseason.

And though Jones, his staff and UT’s defense are well aware of Keeton’s ability, that doesn’t mean they are capable of stopping him.

There is little doubt that this weekend is shaping up as an eventful one for the people of Knoxville who cheer for the Vols.

Be warned, though. The Saturday night fireworks could be the best part of the holiday, because the outcome on Sunday is not guaranteed.

Chuckie wants to play.

Seniors look toward final season opener Jonathan Toye Contributor

Before Boomsday, the Vol Walk and the official kickoff of UT’s 2014 football season, the Tennessee Lady Volunteers soccer team will play in their home opener Friday against the No. 23 BYU Cougars.

And two Lady Vols seniors can hardly wait to play their last home opener in a Lady Vol uniform.

Seniors Hannah Wilkinson and Allie Sirna expect a large turnout from the Volunteer faithful and expect the fans to give them a home field advantage.

“I am excited,” Sirna said.

“Whenever we play in front of the home crowd, it is a totally different atmosphere. It is definitely a home field advantage; we have the best fans. I think

tomorrow we are going to have a good turnout. It is going to be a good game.”

The Lady Vols will be entering the home opener with a 1-1 record, having split two games during their road trip to Madison, Wisconsin.

UT began their season with an electrifying performance against Milwaukee, cruising to a 5-0 victory last Friday. The Lady Vols, however, could not carry the momentum into the second game of the weekend against Wisconsin, losing in a 2-1 overtime thriller.

“I thought we did well,” said Tennessee head soccer coach Brian Pensky. “It was tough conditions, very hot, very humid.

Both games were day games.

I thought our commitment to doing all the right things was good.

“I thought on Sunday [against Wisconsin] we got a little impa-

tient in our attack. We gave balls away that we didn’t need to give away.”

Tennessee will need to avoid committing the same mistake if they plan on stopping the formidable offensive attack of the Cougars.

“They are a fast team, quick team, athletic team, a high-pressuring team, a team that can be very direct and want to slit your throat right from the outset,” Pensky said. “They want to stuff the ball down your face as quickly and as often as possible.”

Despite the explosive offensive front the Cougars possess, Sirna – the leader of UT’s backline – and the rest of the Lady Vol defenders won’t change the way they play.

“We have been seeing that they are pretty quick, pretty fast forwards up top,” Sirna said.

“We are going to be a little more cautious, but then again we are

just going to play our game and hope to get the results that we want.”

On the other side of the field, Wilkinson realizes that BYU’s attacking power leaves the Lady Vols own attacking line with little margin for error.

“We have to get the ball wide, see what we can do with our crosses and make as many attacking opportunities as possible.”

Despite the challenges the nationally-ranked Cougars bring to the table, Sirna believes playing a ranked team makes the home opener all the more exciting.

“Anytime you play a ranked team, it brings a lot of people to the game,” Sirna said. “Just knowing that it is a good opponent and a good chance to prove ourselves, I think it is going to be a great game.”

and adding a lot of weight. I’m just getting bigger and bigger bodied, and now I can handle a lot of those blocks, and just continue to gain confidence.”

And, ironically, ReevesMaybin’s time on the sideline last season allowed him to observe senior A.J. Johnson, an All-SEC linebacker – an opportunity that may serve him well this year.

“Now he’s lined up right beside A.J.,” Thigpen said. “So he knows the importance of how to communicate and where to lineup. He watches tape now, and he can actually talk the game now and understand how people are attacking.”

Reeves-Maybin has always had a knack for making big plays in big moments, and that is a trend that the Tennessee coaching staff expects to continue going into the 2014 season.

“He just has an uncanny ability to see things and make plays in space,” Thigpen said. “He does something that we have been missing here in the past.”
