Tennessee ranked as second-best brand, fanbase by Emory University Tyler Wombles

Managing Editor

While the Tennessee football team looks to move up the rankings, its fans have already done their share. Emory University associate professor of business Michael Lewis ranked Tennessee’s brand and fanbase as the second-best in his 2018 College Football Brands and Fans list. Lewis’ ranking is based off of viewing college football programs as brands, comparing them to product-based companies. He utilized three individual methods: comparing revenue of teams of “similar quality,” determining return of investment and brand strength, and analyzing the actual football revenue accumulated by the schools.

Lewis determined Tennessee’s spot on the list by taking into account the revenue garnered from games and the amount of people that fill up Neyland Stadium on Saturdays. “Tennessee has struggled in recent years, but they deliver financial results and amazing attendance,” Lewis says in the article. The Vols are listed behind only Texas, which sits at the top spot. Notre Dame, LSU and Oklahoma take up spots three, four and six, respectively. Georgia, Auburn and Florida are the other SEC teams included in Lewis’ top ten, with the Bulldogs at six, Tigers at nine and Gators at 10. The Vols will face each of those teams this season, hosting Florida on Sept. 22, traveling to Georgia on Sept. 29 and playing Auburn at JordanHare Stadium on Oct. 13. Lewis did not include Alabama

in his top ten and compares the Crimson Tide’s fan situation with that of Tennessee’s. “The question that needs to be asked (and we will keep this in the SEC) is what would happen if Tennessee had a run like Alabama’s,” Lewis said in the article. “Would the Volunteer fan base be as intense as the Crimson Tide? How about LSU? Or Georgia? “As someone who has lived in SEC territory for the better part of the last twenty years I think the answer is yes.” Vols fans have already filled the seats for the program this year. In Tennessee’s first home game this season, a 59-3 win over ETSU on Sept. 8, the announced attendance was 96,464. “It was exciting that we were able to come back in Neyland and get a win,” senior defensive back Micah Abernathy said following the game. “It was excit-

ing with the crowd, but we are on to the next week.” Tennessee’s brand strength was even effective in bringing head coach Jeremy Pruitt to campus. He referenced the Vols’ history and status during his introductory press conference on Dec. 7, 2017. “When you talk about tradition – I grew up in a small town in North Alabama, just on the Tennessee River,” Pruitt said. “You grow up knowing all about the University of Tennessee – where you are running through the Power T, Smokey, the great teams that Coach Neyland, Coach Dickey, Coach Majors and Coach Fulmer put on the field. “There was a time and place when this university was feared among the SEC teams. My goal as the head football coach at Tennessee is to get us back to that point.”

New student group Organization Resource Group (ORG) is seeking to help other student organizations navigate through recruitment, member development, administrative coordination and the communication between various organizations. Mickayla Stogsdill, senior in public administration and Russian studies and the director of programming for ORG, said that there was a need for ORG because of the difficulties that can arise from being the leader of an organization. “The ORG’s purpose is to support, inspire and cultivate the needs of student organizations, and serve as a source of support in the Center for Student Engagement,” Stogsdill said. ORG was started as a project in the Spring 2018 Emerging Leaders course to spark social change within student organizations. “The ORG is important on campus because it is the only student organization that serves as

a resource and an advocate for all other student organizations,” Cole Pawlaczyk, junior in economics and sociology and co-president of ORG, said. “This organization was created because of the overwhelming demand among student leaders to have a space on campus where student leaders can receive support, and also be given the opportunity to collaborate with other student leaders and find common purpose in how we engage students at UTK.” Pawlaczyk said he hopes participants can utilize the opportunity to better serve the student organizations on campus and develop their skills in organizational development and management. “Our team of veteran organization leaders are doing everything we can through collaboration and administrative negotiating to not only make available necessary resources, but bring it to the students’ footsteps,” Stogsdill said. Stogsdill said the best part of working for the Center for Student Engagement is the relationships and connections she builds. “Not only do I think being a part of The ORG will make your personal organizations stronger,

but I also believe students will gain a meaningful insight to the level of support this university gives to organizations,” Stogsdill said. Stogsdill said that the ORG can function through the management of communication networks between organizations and collaboration on programs and initiatives. “I hope The ORG can be the student liaison group between the CSE and student organizations to actually reach out with help rather than waiting for organizations to ask us,” Stogsdill said. “That shift will bring meaningful positive impacts, and I can’t wait to see it unfold.” Pawlaczyk stated that though the process of developing a new student organization can be rough, the leadership skills developed, as well as working with a talented and driven team, make ORG a profitable experience and it functions as a place for him to explore his passion for student engagement.

Cultural anthropologist shows photo series of Black Lives Matter Moira Charnot Contributor

Thursday evening, cultural anthropologist Sheila Pree Bright presented her photographic work on biased media presentation of the Black Lives Matter movement at McClung Museum. Through her photography, Bright wanted to communicate a different perspective, one that portrays these activists as people who want to end an ongoing race war, rather than start one. “I think it’s very important that the young people know what is going on, because the media depicts black activists as a terrorist group,” Bright said. “In reality, they are young people who are tired.” Her photo series “Young Americans” is meant as a response to negativity associated with the millennial generation. Bright gave the subjects in the photos a platform for selfexpression by allowing them to come up with their own props, clothes and poses. Another one of these photo series, titled #1960 NOW, depicted several portraits of activists from the Civil Rights Movement — including people like Hank Thomas and Lonnie C. King Jr. – across several cities in America. This photo series commented on how similar the current Black Lives Matter movement is to the original Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, Bright said. “The images are really powerful,” Anne Langendorfer, lecturer in English, said. “I feel

like the way the artist portrays the protesters gives them more dignity. It really makes you think about how photography is used (and) can change how we perceive what we see.” Bright also recounted several protests and demonstrations she had attended to photograph. From the die-in demonstration in Atlanta to #ReclaimMLK demonstrations to the streets of Ferguson after the 2014 death of Michael Brown, Bright has seen her fair share of protests. From them, she has learned a great deal about the lives of the African Americans in these communities. “Journalists and the mass media have been taught to see these people as victims. I prefer to see them as people,” Bright said. Bright described an experience she had in Baltimore, where she was told that the only time that journalists come down there is when there are riots to report. Bright was told that no one truly cares for the constant struggle of Baltimore communities and that no one reports when the community gets together to clean up the morning after a protest. “Here, she’s asking us who America is now. And me and my students – we’re Americans,” Beauvais Lyons, Chancellor’s Professor in the School of Art, said. “It’s important that we’re all aware of what’s going on in our country.” Bright also added that protests are like parades for media. In her experience, journalists get in people’s way, shoving microphones into the faces of protesters. Some even try to argue with protesters – and when the protesters get angry, that is what is shown on TV. The media is taught to see and portray them as violent

rioters instead of as people who want to make a difference in the world, according to Bright. The lecture ended with Bright asking her audience challenging questions: How can we move forward as a country? Will our country ever change? Does our country even want to change? Bright concluded that she is optimistic for the current generation due to the resistance she has seen all over the country and will continue to see as she documents more protests and gives voice to the unheard.

Lean into it: We are Top 25 – in hate

The University of Tennessee has recently moved up in the Princeton Review rankings in a major way but certainly not in a positive way. The University of Tennessee is now the third leastfriendly college for LGBTQ+ people, jumping up from fifth last year. That places us right behind the College of the Ozarks and Brigham Young University. Let me state that again: we are the least safe public university for LGBTQ+ students. If that’s not hitting home for you — if that doesn’t make Grey Mangan you sad or angry or disappointed in this school Staff Columnist — then I believe you must sit with yourself and evaluate why. If you are not a part of the LGBTQ+ community, then try to complete a guided thought experiment with me. Take a moment to try and conceptualize what it might be like to be someone Grey Mangan is a sophomore studying like me — a transgender man — on this campus. Political Science and Cinema Studies. Feel the anxiety in the air as you step out your He can be reached at front door; take a breath. Go to the bathroom; emangan1@vols.utk.edu. walk down the sidewalk. Sit in class, and hold your partner’s hand. Think about how stressful it is to just exist. Columns and letters of The Daily Now try thinking about it on this campus. Beacon are the views of the individual It is an ugly truth that few turn their eyes to – and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Beacon or the Beacon’s editorial that being any marginalized group on this campus is terrifying. It is not paranoia; it is basic safety. staff. On the first day of my freshman year, a woman

hit me over the head with her purse in the library bathroom. She yelled at me and ran out. This happened just before my first political science class. I was so excited to start my major at a place I thought would be accepting. What a way to crash back to reality. That’s just one example that is fit to print in the paper. There are so many other examples from so many other people that are horrific. Sit down and have a coffee with any LGBTQ+ person on campus, and we can all tell you how bad it is. I’m a white man; I have a lot of innate privilege outside of my gender and sexuality, and it is still a terrifying experience to be open on this campus. It is even scarier to be LGBTQ+ and a person of color on this campus. The sickening thing is that we all know it. We all know how the culture of this campus treats marginalized people, and what have we done to fix it? My community relies on private funding for the Pride Center, one place on this campus where it is safe to exist – to take a breath for once. This is because the state of Tennessee took the financial security of that haven away. We lean on student programing that is inclusive: hoping we get an event from CEB or waiting for SEAT (also financially unstable) to put on events. We wade through paperwork that is invalidating and demeaning; we push through the

Student Health Center that is largely not equipped to treat and/or interact with LGBTQ+ students. This university and this state are failing LGBTQ+ students on every level. From the State Assembly to the Board of Trustees and from the UTK administration to UTK SGA — you have failed us. It is laughable to think that this university really believes that it will be a Top 25 institution. If things don’t change — if this campus’s culture doesn’t change — then this institution will never become a Top 25 school. No one will award that to a campus that does not protect its marginalized students. Let me leave you with some facts. LGB youth, according to The Trevor Project,are almost five times as likely to have attempted suicide as compared to heterosexual youth. 40 percent of transgender adults report that they have attempted to commit suicide. Let that sit with you. It’s not just an unfortunate ranking; it’s not just a sad thing to be the third-worst in the nation. It is dangerous. It is life threatening. You are killing us with your hate, choking us until my LGBTQ+ siblings can take no more pain. We need a change because we can’t keep hurting LGBTQ+ students like this. Change must be made.

Student musicians rock Knoxville as Jimmy’s Cheeks Bailey Fritz

Contributor

As the music scene of Knoxville continues to evolve, bands of all different genres have begun to pop up. Among these, Jimmy’s Cheeks is certainly a band that has made a name for itself in the growing music scene. The group originally formed in the spring of 2016, when the current band members were all brothers in UT’s Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity. Shane Leabu was on guitar, Thomas Turner played bass and Danny Barry was the band’s drummer, but they desperately needed a vocalist for a gig. Luckily, Casey Shinabarger volunteered to help without having any previous vocal experience. However, the band was a hit among the crowd, because of their covers of popular rock songs. “Our first show was in a Fort house during Boxing Weekend; we probably played in front of 200 people or so. We had one speaker with terrible sound,

but we fell in love with it,” Shinabarger said. “We added another guitarist, Blake Wyrick, for the next show, then we added Jonathan Felix in May at The International. Our drummer was out of town, so we found Jonathan. We played at soundcheck for the first time and it was amazing; everyone fit together so well.” Felix commented on the band’s newfound fame. “Getting to play at the International was a pretty big deal for us. We’re kind of shocked by how big we’ve become,” Felix said. The band’s name is a mischievous play on words referencing previous Chancellor of the University of Tennessee, Jimmy Cheek. “It was more or less a demeaning mockery of the old Chancellor. After he found out about it, we kinda stopped being mean about it, but people remember the name, which is nice,” Shinabarger said. The band’s setlist can be found online and includes a range of many different variations of popular songs by artists from Drake to ACDC to The Killers.

“We’re kind of hired as crowd pleasers since we do mostly covers of popular rock songs,” Shinabarger said. Despite only playing covers of songs, the band still has a passion for writing their own music. “We are working on original music. I think the end goal of our band is to make original music, but as of right now we perform any kind of rock, alternative rock and blues rock. We do some rocked up versions of rap covers as well,” Felix explained. The band especially loves the performance aspect of playing gigs. The enthusiasm of the crowd, as well as their own bandmates, make each performance a special experience. “For me, being the drummer, I love when I can look over and see my bandmates hyped up to the rhythm of the music, as well as the crowd and how people just get into it,” Felix said. Currently, the band is working on an album of original songs that they hope will be released within the next year. “Normally when we write original songs, we start with a guitar riff, and we can usually tell when it sounds good.

Hopefully this year we get to release our own album; that’s what we’re working towards,” Shinabarger said. “From what I can tell, we write the music first, and the lyrics come second. I think the music is more important to us than the lyrics,” Felix said. Balancing school and music is the band’s biggest struggle right now since multiple band members attend UT. “We’re always out so late. You kind of have to plan around the shows; we normally don’t end until like 2 in the morning,” Felix described. Despite these difficulties, the bandmates still have a great time making memories together. “There’s no conflict in our band. We’re all great friends, and we get along very well. We all feed off each other’s creativity well, and I think we’re very lucky for that,” Felix said. If you are interested in checking out Jimmy’s Cheeks, its website, www.jimmyscheeks.com, provides information about upcoming shows. The band also puts covers on its social media accounts and YouTube.

Burger Boys serves big burgers and southern soul food Gareth Frymier Contributor

Across the Henley Street Bridge and right off of Chapman Highway, Burger Boys offers burgers, fries and a wide selection of other southern soul food sides and sandwiches, all at a low price from their drive-in style kitchen. The restaurant’s cheap lunch deals and convenient location is perfect for a college student’s schedule and wallet. The Burger Boys joint may be tiny, but they pack big flavor into their menu items. Burger Boys lot is rather small, but if you catch the restaurant at the right time, you can park, order from a window and dine outside. If you’re on the go, the drive-thru is quick for some backyard style burgers. Burger Boys offers five different classic burger styles, and a sixth make-your-own option named the “Vol Burger.” The self-proclaimed “Home of the Free Fries” also includes a side of fresh fries with every meal.

But this burger joint serves up more than just burgers. Chicken sandwiches and chicken wings are offered for those that prefer something different. Traditional southern favorites such as fish sandwiches, chicken livers and gizzards, mashed potatoes and sweet potato pie are also available. For my order, I opted for the “Dante Burger,” a burger weighing in at a full half-pound of ground beef, cheese, mustard and fried onion straws. I went through the drive-thru and found the service to be quick and polite, although there wasn’t a menu to look at while ordering from the drive-thru, so be sure to ask for one. The meal itself was decent. The food was still warm when I got home and it tasted fresh. The fries were alright, cut from fresh potatoes and similar in appearance and texture to Five Guys‘ fries, although mine were a touch undercooked and under-seasoned. The burger was good, and a burger that big for under five bucks was a steal. However, it was nothing special. All in all, I’d say that I’d give Burger

Overall:

Boys my recommendation. Although I can’t say that Burger Boys was remarkable, I will say that they’re a local business that makes good food at a cheap price and offers reliable, friendly service. I think that’s special in its own right. Burger Boys is located at 2400 Chapman Highway, and their hours are Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Their Facebook page can be found at www.facebook.com/KnoxBurgerBoys.

Football Grades: Vols defeat UTEP for second home win Blake Von Hagen Sports Editor

Tennessee shut out UTEP 24-0 on Saturday at Neyland Stadium. Here are some grades from the game: Quarterback

Grade: A-

Sophomore Jarrett Guarantano is continuing to show why he has been tabbed the starter by Jeremy Pruitt and the coaching staff. Guarantano was 12-of-16 for 168 yards and one touchdown against the Miners. More notably, he was 7-of-8 for 113 yards and a touchdown when he was blitzed, according to Pro Football Focus. His passer rating when he was under pressure was 158.3. With offensive line troubles throughout the season so far, it is important for Guarantano to continue his effectiveness when opposing teams send extra men on a pass rush. Keller Chryst played a few series for the Vols as well. He was 1-of-3 for -1 yard in his playing time, although he was not asked to do much more than hand the ball off.

Running back

Grade: B+

Sophomore Ty Chandler made an immediate impact in his return after missing the ETSU game with an injury. Chandler carried the ball 12 times for 158 yards and a touchdown, which came on an 81yard run. That was the longest Tennessee run since 2006. With Chandler seemingly healthy once again, Tennessee has four viable options at running back, which is what the Vols will need as they head into SEC play. Madre London tallied 74 yards on 9 attempts, along with Tim Jordan and Jeremy Banks both eclipsing the 40-yard mark. Offensive coordinator Tyson Helton added a few designed quarterback runs for Guarantano as well. Some points have to be deducted for the Banks fumble on the goal line, however.

Wide Receiver & Tight End

Grade: B+

The Vols spread out the limited, but effective, passing attack on Saturday. Brandon Johnson caught four passes for 51 yards, and Josh Palmer added two receptions for 64 yards. Jauan Jennings also made three catches for 22 yards and a touchdown. It was the first touchdown for Jennings since the 2016 season. Tight end Dominick WoodAnderson grabbed two passes for 21 yards. It will be interesting to see if Pruitt allows the offense to air the ball out against Florida because he has been conservative with the passing attack so far.

Offensive Line

Grade: C+

The offensive line continues to struggle in providing consistent blocking throughout a game. Even though Guarantano was successful throwing the ball, he was still pressured on many of his throws. When Tennessee faces SEC talent in the coming weeks, the offensive line will have to improve. The rushing attack was good against UTEP, but the real test is going to start next week. A chop block took away what would have been a touchdown as well.

Defensive Line

Grade: A-

It will be hard to fault any of Tennessee’s defensive units in this game, as they shut out the UTEP offense. Tennessee’s defensive line held the Miners to 3.4 yards per rush. However, the defense recorded just two sacks, which is something Pruitt continues to stress. Both of those sacks came from linebackers. The defense simply has to apply more pressure on the opposing quarterback, but that is not solely on the defensive line. Alexis Johnson had five tackles and senior Kyle Phillips added three.

Linebacker

Grade: A-

Daniel Bituli was a standout for Tennessee’s defense on Saturday. He had six total tackles, including a sack. It seemed as if he was involved on almost every defensive stop. Darrin Kirkland Jr. tallied the other Tennessee sack in the game. He finished with three total tackles, and Will Ignont had four. Despite allowing UTEP quarterback Kai Locksley to escape downfield a couple times, the linebackers did not let the Miners into the secondary on many occasions.

Secondary

Grade: B+

The UTEP passing attack was not among the best in the nation heading into Saturday’s game, and Tennessee’s secondary shut down the Miners through the air. UTEP completed 9-of-23 passes for just 39 yards, which is good for 1.7 yards per pass. Micah Abernathy had four tackles, and Theo Jackson added three. Bryce Thompson had three as well. The only downgrade for this unit was a couple of dropped interceptions, something that Pruitt was not happy about after the game.

Coaching

Grade: B-

Special teams is a unit where big plays are bound to happen. On Saturday, the only big play that happened on special teams was a muffed punt by Marquez Callaway. Outside of that blunder, Brent Cimaglia hit a 38-yard field goal and Joe Doyle averaged 39.0 yards per punt. Without any positive big plays, there is not much to focus on besides the dropped punt.

Bottom: Jarrett Guarantano, #2, fakes the handoff to Ty Chandler, #8, during UTEP game on Sept. 15, 2018 at Neyland Stadium. Megan Albers / The Daily Beacon

Special Teams

Grade: C+

It is hard to grade Pruitt on this game against UTEP. Did he show all of his cards? It is doubtful. With Florida on the horizon, it was likely a situation where he just wanted to get the win and move along. There were no major injuries for Tennessee, so Pruitt will be happy with that result. Overall, he did not make a ton of adjustments. The Chryst and Guarantano dynamic was confusing, however. It is hard for a quarterback to find a rhythm without playing consecutive drives, but it’s unlikely there are any mid-game switches against the Gators.
