FOOTBALL Saturday outcomes could affect university finances and operations McCord Pagan Social Media Editor

Butch Jones has been heralded for restoring hope to the Tennessee Volunteer football team, and has the recruits to prove it. But after the lights in Neyland Stadium go down, the athletic program still has budget woes. A winning football team, however, has the potential to change that, and even reinvigorate the school. Last week, the athletic department released its report for the 2013-14 fiscal year, revealing a profit of only $60,880 on a $103 million budget, according to UT Sports. At $2 million, UT’s athletic department also has the lowest reserve funds of any SEC school. “Our number one priority is to build that reserve,” Athletic Director Dave Hart said in an interview last week. “The Chancellor has been really, really good in his assistance

and understanding that we do need to build our reserve.” As part of his effort to rebuild the reserve, Hart successfully pushed in September for Knox County to end its portion of the local 5 percent amusement tax on home football and basketball ticket sales. Last year, athletics returned $1.6 million to the city and county in taxes, while concerts and similar events are not included. While Knoxville will continue to charge their 4.5 percent portion of the tax, the charge is an example of the “unsustainable” models that, if ended, will help athletics get back on track. In 2012, UT returned a three-year, $18 million investment by athletics to further help the troubled department, a move Hart said would help start to fix their budget woes. “We could really build a financially strategic plan to climb out of our existing, current financial dilemma we inherited,” Hart said.

NCAA pulls Henderson from Vols’ practice Troy Provost-Heron Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB)

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones emphasized during his weekly Monday press conference that the Volunteers had to eventually reach a point as a program where they could Joe Henderson go “10 deep” on the defensive line. Moments later, Jones stated the Vols had lost a player who could help UT get to that point. The second-year head coach announced freshman defensive lineman Joe Henderson has been “pulled from practice” by the NCAA because of his inability to meet some academic requirements. The Vols’ head coach, however, did note the timing of the NCAA’s decision was a little off to him. “It’s an oddity in terms of what they’re using and the time frame,” Jones said. “It’s unfortunate. It is what it is. It can happen at any stage of the game. As long as I’ve been a head coach, these things have happened. It’s a pretty common procedure at times. But you never know when the time frame is.” Through six games, Henderson had not played a down for the Vols, and was on track to redshirt. A graduate of Shaker Heights High School in Ohio, the 6-foot-4, 234-pound Henderson was a three-star weakside defensive lineman who committed to the Vols on May 30, 2013. In his senior year at Shaker Heights, Henderson recorded 14.5 sacks, 52 tackles – 21 for loss – and three forced fumbles. The art of celebration: It only takes one glance at Shields-Watkins Field to see senior linebacker A.J. Johnson getting his teammates – and the fans – riled up as Vols get warmed up. When it’s gametime, it doesn’t take long to see Johnson jumping around and celebrating with his teammates on defense. See HENDERSON on Page 8

ETSU student leaders vote down Sex Week funds Hayley Brundige

At East Tennessee State University, students are getting less bang for their “BUC.” On Oct. 7, the Student Government Association Senate at ETSU denied institution funding for the school’s first Sex Week, planned for this spring. Organized by the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, but inclusive to all student organizations and interested participants on campus, the committee applied for $9,340 through ETSU’s “BUC Funding.” With a final vote of 23-14, the SGA Senate decided not to financially support the program, leaving the group to find funding elsewhere. In the wake of legislative condemnation of UT’s Sex Week committee, Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee, Brandon Johnson, senator for ETSU’s SGA, said the group was hesitant to grant funding for events that may be considered “risqué” by the Tennessee Legislature. “We are all for sexual education as a university and as a senate,” Johnson said. “We wanted to make sure we did that in a manner that didn’t jeopardize not only our funding but the funding of the Tennessee Board of Regents.” Senior Marlin Lane celebrates a play with fellow teammate A.J. Johnson during the Vols’ game against Georgia on Sept. 27. Hayley Pennesi • The Daily Beacon

DISPATCHES On Monday, at a press conference in Rome, Vatican officials presented a new report stating the Roman Catholic Church should welcome and appreciate gays and lesbians as well as offer solutions for divorced and remarried Catholics who want to receive Holy Communion. Language in the report is apparently very modern and discusses the Church’s ability to accept and value sexual orientation without compromising their Catholic doctrine. In the past, homosexual acts have been referred to as “intrinsically disordered” while gays and lesbians were advised to live in chastity. However, Pope Francis has taken a more progressive stance, saying “Who am I to judge?” gays and lesbians in a famous speech from 2013. The discussion will continue throughout the week before the report is finalized at the end of the week.

Ebola in U.S. spreads In the wake of the first U.S. death from Ebola, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday the agency is reevaluating the way health officials perform infection control at hospitals. The CDC is currently monitoring an expanded group of at least 50 hospital workers who may have had contact with the Liberian man, Thomas Eric Duncan, who died last week. On Sunday, a nurse at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas where Duncan was treated was diagnosed with the Ebola virus. The nurse is the first person to contract Ebola on U.S. soil.

Protesters arrested in Ferguson On Monday, activist Cornel West was arrested in Ferguson, Missouri, alongside 19 other protesters at the “Moral Monday” march. Demonstrators present at the march were demanding the police officer who killed Michael Brown in August be arrested. Protesters were ultimately charged with disturbing the police after they allegedly tried to push past police lines. They were detained at the Ferguson Police Department. West, author and professor at New York’s Union Theological Seminary, was a featured speaker at an interfaith rally held Sunday night that gathered about 2,000 people.

Police: Nearly 50 arrested in Ferguson protests The Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Pounding rain and tornado watches didn’t deter hundreds of protesters Monday outside Ferguson police headquarters, where they stayed for almost four hours to mark how long 18-yearold Michael Brown’s body was left in a street after he was fatally shot by police. Organizers of the four-day Ferguson October protests dubbed the day “Moral Monday” and committed acts of civil disobedience across the St. Louis region. In addition to the initial march on Ferguson police headquarters, protesters blocked the entrance to a major employer, held a loud rally inside St. Louis City Hall, disrupted business at a Ferguson shopping center and a Wal-Mart and tried to crash a private fundraiser for a St. Louis County executive candidate where Sen. Claire McCaskill was scheduled to appear. All told, nearly 50 people were arrested, including scholar and civil rights activist Cornel West. West was among 42 arrested for peace disturbance at the Ferguson police station. Some protesters used a bullhorn to

read the names of people killed by police nationwide. Christian, Jewish and Muslim clergy members — some of whom were among the first arrested — led a prayer service before marching to the station two blocks away. Protests have been common since Brown, who was unarmed and black, was killed by a white Ferguson police officer on Aug. 9. Tensions escalated last week when a white police officer in St. Louis shot and killed another black 18-year-old, Vonderrit Myers Jr., who police say had shot at officers. “My faith compels me to be here,” Bishop Wayne Smith of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri said outside Ferguson police headquarters. “I want to show solidarity, and call attention to the structural racism of St. Louis.” Protesters were met by about 40 officers in riot gear. Several clergy members approached individual officers and asked them to “repent” for Brown’s killing and other acts of violence. Some officers engaged the protesters, while others ignored the efforts. “My heart feels that this has been going on too long,” Ferguson officer Ray Nabzdyk told the clergy. “We all stand in fault because we didn’t address this.”

Popular picture messaging app Snapchat has been hacked in the latest in a series of picture leaks. The hack was accomplished through an app called Snapsaved, one of the many third-party apps that enables users to save snaps without the sender knowing. The photos began showing up on 4chan Thursday night, the same website that hosted the pictures of celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence. As half of Snapchat’s users are between the ages of 13 and 17, it’s possible that some of the 200,000 photos belong to underage users. Snapchat clearly prohibits the use of third-party apps in its terms of use, as the apps can compromise users’ privacy.

A little piece of Andrew Jackson is housed at UT. Dan Feller, History professor, and Tom Coens, research associate professor, were recently featured on the History Channel show “Ten Things You Don’t Know About,” which aired on Oct. 11. The special focused on the collection of Andrew Jackson’s papers held at the university. There are currently nine volumes of the collection, including Jackson’s literary record, up to 1831, that have been published and compiled for study. Feller is the editor and director of the Jackson papers, while Coens, along with LauraEve Moss, research associate professor, is an associate editor. Feller said Henry Rollins, the show’s host, specifically wanted to discuss how former President Jackson paid off the United State’s national debt. While this is accurate, Feller said that historical fact is more com-

plex than it seems. “The national debt was being paid down 12 years before Jackson got into office,” Feller said. Feller said Jackson’s payoff was circumstantial and, for Jackson, it was more an ideological decision than economical. “[Americans at the time] associated debit with improvidence,” Feller said. However, Feller said Rollins and his crew were intent on disregarding this historical insight, and wanted to stick to their original plot line for the show. Feller noted Rollins was “kind of forceful” while filming. “They have a story line and they want you to confirm it,” he said.

Moss said the project has given her the unique opportunity to dig through history. “You never know quite what you’re gonna find,” Moss said. “Our work is basically dictated by the letters that Jackson wrote.” Feller said getting to know Jackson through his literary record has shown what a “fascinating,” individual the early president of the United States was. “In real life, it takes years to get to know someone,” Feller said. “(The project is) complicated. It’s important to understand that it’s not that simple.”

Not all returning veterans find a home Gettin’ Scruffy by

R.J. Vogt

On the wall of the National Guard Armory on Sutherland Avenue, a fierce bald eagle glares from above a George Orwell quote: “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” The rough men and women of the military – less than half of 1 percent of Americans – often return to their own beds after service. They have families and successful careers as citizens. But for some of those rough men and women, no bed offers peaceful sleep – for some of them, no bed exists at all. According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, about 12 percent of the adult homeless population are veterans. In Knoxville, 1,057 veterans accessed homeless services in 2012. Forty percent qualified as chronically homeless. Dale Klein is one of those chronically homeless veterans in Knoxville. For most of the last 10 years, he’s spent his days and nights camping outside. The glasses on his nose are outdated and his scraggly beard reaches his shoulders, but on Saturday, Dale’s primary concern was his teeth. He had come to the armory for dental aid, one of several services offered during the day’s “Stand Down” event, sponsored by Volunteers of America. Held every year in cities across the country, Stand Downs offer homeless veterans clothing, haircuts, legal advice, career advice and dental/ vision check ups. Dale simply wanted dentures; but as we sat at a table sipping coffee together, he mentioned he was looking for a tent as well. Like many homeless veterans, the survival skills he learned in the service have made him a particularly resourceful camper. Dale said he prefers living outside to the life he could have in one of Knoxville’s affordable housing options, such as Minnvilla or Flinnaken Landing, because so many of the affordable housing options come with rules and regulations and worst of all, neighbors. Dale likes his peace and quiet and the occasional booze, so he continues camping. But on rainy days like Saturday, a tent sure would be nice. Unfortunately, the volunteers said they didn’t have any tents to offer him (though he did get some fresh t-shirts). I asked Dale what he did when rain doused his campsite: “Walk faster,” he laughed. Other veterans weren’t so cheery. One man, Maurice, rambled about a government conspiracy on his life; another came to ask for help with the $3,000 he owed in court costs. The crowd skewed young, and many of the men and women said they had served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Some still wore their hair high and tight. I asked volunteers at the event why they thought so many veterans become homeless. Tony and Linh, a married couple who were veterans themselves, said they thought lack of education contributed to the pattern. The soldiers who sign up straight out of high school gain combat intelligence and survival skills, but when they return, their education does not necessarily translate to civilian life. A Daughter of the American Revolution named Sharon thought it was individual catastrophes that knock so many veterans out of conventional living arrangements. And at a table sponsored by the VA’s Peer Support program, a man named Billy said many of his clients struggle with substance abuse and mental health disorders. The common theme in all their answers was the idea that homelessness is primarily caused by factors beyond one’s control. So often, people point to hobos and bums as examples of laziness and byproducts of the so-called “welfare state,” eyesores and liars who panhandle for drug money. But the reality is much more complex, involving an intricate web of causes and demanding an even more expansive web of solutions. In today’s America, returning service members are often granted a standing ovation at sporting events; “support our troops” is as much a mandatory political stance as it is a catchphrase. If any population demands respect, it is the men and women who stand ready to do violence on behalf of the peaceably sleeping. So the next time you see a homeless person, consider that he or she might be a veteran. And if he’s wearing glasses and a scraggly beard, see if he’s found a tent yet. R.J.

Go Vols... School of Sarcasm by

Kaila Curry It’s Saturday, and I am leaving my apartment to study for midterms at Hodges. I walk less than five steps from the fort and am immediately reminded that it is game day. The herd of orange treks along, like cattle to their barn while I, dressed in black, am a walking disgrace to school spirit. Just as the misfit elf from the 1964 classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” prefers to be a dentist, I, the misfit UT student, prefer to keep to myself on game days. Yet in many ways, I find myself ashamed that I don’t bleed orange after I scrape my knee. I have only attended one game this semester, and I truly did try to enjoy myself. I wore an orange dress, participated with the student section chorus and questionable chants and rooted for the team. I realized, and my father may disown me after this statement, that I do not get foot-

Now, I may not know much about football, but I know the reactions of the fans. I began jetting around the herd of sulking drunks. A bang and a cry were heard, and my stride became a run. “The city will be burned to the ground!” I thought to myself. Honestly, the fans have always interested me more than the game. I can tell by their expressions if we have lost a game or not. When I work on a game day, I can tell without asking how the game went by observing the Vol fans who come in after the game. If the Vols have won, people will flood the streets singing, dancing and crying out “Go Vols!” The restaurant will be packed with giddy drunkards, sweet old ladies will order bourbon and scotch, and the town will rejoice in sync. But if the mighty Vols lose, the restaurant will close early and the town enters a state of depression. You can even hear shots ringing out from the Fort.

Emotions take a hit in fantasy football Fantasy Football Corner by

Austin Pirkle I start to mount a comeback. I’m on a roll, and there’s nothing that can stop me from winning at this point. Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffrey are both on my team, and they are lighting it up in the second half. The Bears get down in the red zone. All I want is for Jeffrey in the end zone; just one time, please. Cutler drops back and scrambles to his left and flings it to the back of the end zone … JEFFREY SCORES! I proceed to fly out of my chair and throw an enormous fist pump into the air. I’ve done it. Then I look back to my screen and see the flag marker on the scoreboard. No, no, no, this can’t be real. Alshon Jeffrey points at his chest to announce he was at fault. The replay shows his left toe touched out of bounds before making the catch, which means no touchdown. My heart drops, and I fall to the floor yelling obscenities. Why me? One inch was a 14-point swing in fantasy, and I’ve never felt worse. The saddest part? This story has no exaggeration at all. It may not have been the final play that decided my fate for the week, but it was massive. These emotional swings happen four or five times every week without question. I live for it. I

wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world, but the range of emotions from one second to the next is brutal. Hopefully I’m not the only one. With that being said, on to the week six recap! Waiver Wire Pickups Andre Holmes (Owned in 0.2 percent of NFL.com leagues) Hey look, the Raiders finally decided to be an NFL team on Sunday! Even though they came up short, the offense was very efficient against an above average Chargers defense. Andre Holmes led the way with four catches for 121-yards and two touchdowns. If Oakland finally turned the corner with rookie QB Derek Carr, Holmes will be a good option for a flex spot every week. Buy Low Sammy Watkins The Buffalo rookie receiver didn’t have his best outing Sunday. The lack of production could largely be from the coverage of Darelle Revis throughout the game. The fact remains that Watkins is a great talent and easily the top target for the Bills for the rest of the year. If his owner loses trust, low ball an offer to snag the former Clemson receiver. Shane Vereen Have I lost my mind? Vereen totaled a whopping seven yards from scrimmage Sunday, and has been largely disappointing the entire season. Here’s my thinking. Steven Ridley suffered a severe knee injury in the game and will miss significant time. All those carries have to go somewhere.

Vereen was extremely effective last year after Ridley was benched due to fumbles, and he should get the majority of the work from now on. While it is playing with fire since the Patriots are off the wall with running back usage, I would take a calculated risk on Vereen to produce like last year while his value is low. Sell High Joe Flacco Looks like Flacco ate his Wheaties on Sunday morning. Five first half TDs came out of nowhere against the lowly Bucs. While it was an impressive performance, it was more of a fluke than anything that is likely to continue. Look for someone with QB troubles in your league to try and pull one over on them and get a lot of value in return. Lamar Miller I preface this by saying Miler has been very efficient so far this year while Knowshon Moreno was injured. While Miller may continue to be the starter even though Moreno is back on the field, I believe Miami will go for a two-back system in the future when Moreno gets back to 100 percent. Both backs complement each other, and will be more effective for the team than fantasy as the season goes along. I would get value for Miller at his peak before his production dips from sharing the workload. Austin Pirkle is a freshman in sports management. He can be reached at apirkle1@vols.utk.edu.

ball. I’ve zoned out every time someone’s tried to explain it to me. I get the basic principle, but I lack a lot of necessary knowledge. I am, however, an excellent actor. I cheered when the crowd cheered, booed when they booed, and high-fived the people around me. When a friend asked me what the third down meant, I said, “Psh, it’s too simple. You’ll figure it out,” which she accepted. During the middle of the game, I became bored and observed the fans in my surroundings. One girl in particular was striking quite a commotion when the ref allegedly made an unfair call. She stomped her boots against the bleacher, throwing me and everyone sharing it off balance. She crushed a can in her hand, and screamed as if this was a war and the enemy had just lost. I thought to myself, poverty, disease and war faze these people less than a silly game of football. When we lost, I saw the sweet southerners I’m accustomed to transform into savages. Garbage was thrown at the opposing team, a sweet old man began swearing like a sailor and the bleacher-banging girl began squealing like a dying pig and then crying. As I began exiting Neyland, I patted her shoulders and whispered, “There, there.”

FOOTBALL

Following the football team’s national recognition, Alabama also saw a surge in admission applications, in particular from out-of-state students. With more admissions, the school could raise its standards, dropping its acceptance rate to 53 percent from 64 percent in just six years. And with more students from out-of-state coming to the school, Alabama also saw an increase in revenue due to the higher tuition rate. While not on the level of Alabama, UT is also experiencing an increase in admissions, a boost Director of Undergraduate Admissions Kari Alldredge said can come from the mere energy of athletics, regardless of whether the team won or lost. “Doesn’t take a winning football season for the energy of athletics to impact our campus,� Alldredge said, “including the ability to recruit students.� This year welcomed the largest freshman class in over 30 years, some 4,700 students, a number Alldredge credits to a very visible athletic program. “That’s a conversation starter for us,� she said, “when we’re able to walk into a high school or college fair in California and peo-

continued from Page 1 It is not likely a coincidence, though, the years of sagging budget and reinvestment to athletics saw some of the worst years of Volunteer football in 100 years. Despite these problems, the athletic department also recently announced a game against UMass in 2017 at the price of $1 million, a competition that may lead to another sold-out, high profile game. In contrast, the University of Alabama has seen a surge in funds, energy and a renewed focus on academics following head football coach Nick Saban’s success. In 2007, Alabama’s athletic department made $7.1 million in profit from a $67.7 million budget. Five years, a new head coach and three national championships later, the Crimson Tide athletics had grown to a $124.5 million budget, making $19.4 million in profit, according to Forbes.com. But the benefits of Alabama’s highly successful football program don’t end there.

ETSU continued from Page 1 Johnson noted that officials on the Tennessee Board of Regents warned ETSU’s Senate that funding Sex Week could lead to negative consequences for the school. “So, we’ve got a pretty big weight on our shoulders,� Johnson said. Max Carwile, ETSU’s Sex Week coordinator and president of the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, said the denial came as a surprise to the Sex Week committee. After months of support for Sex Week planning from SGA members and their faculty adviser, Carwile said she was assured that the program would be fully funded through BUC Funding. “We felt comfortable going forward with this and asking for funding because, well, we basically thought we were told we were going to be getting it,� Carwile said.

season for the energy of athletics to impact our campus. -Kari Alldredge

ple know who we are because we play football, or our Lady Vols or basketball program.� And the boost from a winning football team can go even further. While a study by Texas A&M found no direct correlation between winning football seasons and increases in donations, Alabama saw a $600 million boon in a campaign for alumni gifts following its national championships. While once again not on the level of the Crimson Tide, UT has seen a recent uptick in donations. Last year, the school received $130 million in donations, a 40 percent increase from the previous year, as well as an

8 percent increase in number of donors. Lee Patouillet, vice-chancellor for alumni affairs, said donations come when alumni are positive about the school and its direction, and football and athletics are just one part of that. “People want to invest and be associated with an organization that is on the move,� he said. Aside from the financials, a win on Saturday increases overall campus morale and pride in the university, Hart said. “[Athletics] is the rallying point for our campus,� he said. “It extends beyond local and regional borders; it’s the rallying point for our state and across America.�

wait another month for SGA to decide if maybe they’ll fund us,� Carwile said. Members of SEAT at UT have voiced their support for the efforts of the Sex Week committee at ETSU. Elizabeth Stanfield, a junior in geography who serves on SEAT’s executive board, said she feels that SGA at ETSU made a mistake in not funding the program. “Open, honest dialogue about sex and consent has been shown to reduce sexual assault on college campuses, and ETSU SGA’s decision not to fund is a decision not to stand for student empowerment and safety,� Stanfield said in an email. “Cowing to the legislature’s bullying undermines the power of students at ETSU and across Tennessee by setting a precedent that it’s okay for the legislature to trample on our rights to free speech and assembly.� For Carwile, the student government’s denial of funding for a student-led program shows an imbalance of priorities. “It’s really scary that our student government feels that they have more of a responsibility

to represent the state legislature than the students,� Carwile said. “I think our student government has forgotten who elected them and who they are supposed to represent because this is about ETSU, this is not about the state of Tennessee.� Although funding through the school is not guaranteed, Sex Week has not been banned at ETSU. “They can still have Sex Week, they still have rooms reserved on campus,� Johnson said. “Whether we fund them or not is not a restriction of their free speech.� Sex Week committee members have turned to online crowd sourcing to fund the event that is set for February 2015. Started on Oct. 8, the committee’s page has raised $2,400, with an ultimate goal of about $10,000. However, Carwile said Sex Week will continue with whatever amount of money they raise. “Regardless of if we have zero dollars, the event is still going to happen,� Carwile said. “We will just be adjusting to what we work with.�

Attempting to cover a wide variety of subjects including basic sex education, sexual assault, relationships and gender norms, Sex Week committee members polled students and organizations at ETSU and allowed them to suggest events. Carwile said the committee marked all proposed programming on the application that could be considered controversial, giving SGA the option to not fund those particular events. ETSU’s Senate rejected some of the proposed events and suggested that the name be changed to “Sexual Awareness Week.� Johnson said events like a condom rolling competition lack “educational� content. “The legislators have already said, with this kind of programming, you’re going to get your hand slapped,� Johnson said.

EYES ON KNOXVILLE

Market Square family welcomes new addition Contributor

Tucked into Market Square alongside boutique shops, scruffy bars and pubs and trendy outfitters is one of Knoxville’s newest eateries: Not Watson’s Kitchen + Bar. Inside, the walls are lined with rustic, vintage signs. The bar is cozy and the lighting is slightly industrial. Tables are boldly numbered, and the walls are a mix of rustic bricks and bright colors. Manager Beau McKee is usually found smiling and greeting patrons or wiping a dirty table, hardly stopping to take a breath. McKee has been working the restaurant circuit since he was a geography major at East Tennessee State University, and is no stranger to the ins and outs of a busy restaurant. “I kind of found my niche in the restaurant business, and I was offered a job managing,” McKee said. “The first two years I was in college, I was kind of a like a lost soul, didn’t know what I wanted to do.” McKee has been with Not Watson’s since it sprung up in the space that used to be Bella Luna in August. Owner Glenn Kirtley and the upper management of Soccer Taco combined forces to create the new eatery in what historically was Watson’s Department Store. The new restaurant’s name comes from Kirtley’s childhood memory of fam-

having a beer and poring over the menu Monday afternoon. It was his first time at the restaurant. He raved over the hand cut fries but turned his nose up at the ‘Mexican Street Dog,’ a bacon wrapped deep fried monster of a hot dog topped with jalapenos, onions, ketchup and mayonnaise. “I’m not a fan of the mayonnaise,” Silva said. “I don’t think that’s right. That’s just a weird combination to put on there.” Silva did, however, have bacon and cheese sliders in front of him as well to make up for the hot dog disappointment. Not Watson’s also runs drink specials he first two years I nearly every night of the week. The restaurant’s was in college, I was beer selection covers craft beers from all over kind of a like a lost the region, and with a full bar, can accommosoul, didn’t know what I date all tastes. Pabst Blue Ribbon cans are wanted to do. $2 all day, every day, in addition to other - Beau McKee specials like halfpriced wine bottles on grub to nicer fare like a chi- Mondays. When asked about his favorpotle-rubbed pork tenderloin, an item to suit McKee’s prefer- ite drink, the bartender who is known simply as “Blue” and ence for spicy cuisine. “I like the ‘Pretty Hot has been at the restaurant Burger,’ but then again I’m since it opened, said he was kind of a meat and potatoes an “Old Fashioned” guy. “We have our own version,” kind of guy,” McKee admitted, “and the short ribs are Blue said. “‘The Not So Old Fashioned.’ We also have the phenomenal.” The focus is on fresh. The ‘Not White Russian’ and the beef is never frozen, and being ‘Jalapeno Margarita.’” Those looking to “Eat. so close to the weekly Market Square farmer’s market means Drink. Enjoy!” as the restauthe chefs can work with ultra rant’s website suggests, are welcome to grab a seat any day fresh, local food. Zach Silva, bar patron and of the week starting at 11 a.m. Rural Metro firefighter, was ily weekend trips to the store. When Kirtley and his siblings would ask where they were going, the inevitable answer would be “Not Watson’s!” in protest of tagging along on their mother’s shopping trips. Though Soccer Taco management helped start the restaurant, there is fairly little overlap between the businesses. They only share a few employees and management, but this makes for a tightly knit Market Square family in a volatile restaurant market. The food at Not Watson’s ranges from affordable pub

FRONT ROW REVIEW

Banjo player Cooper McBean, guitarist Pete Bernhard and bassist Lucia Turino take the stage at the Bijou as bluegrass band The Devil Makes Three on Sunday. Nicholas Rhodes • The Daily Beacon

The Devil Makes Three plays to adoring Bijou crowd Faith Schweikert

Copy Editor (@got_2haveFaith) “Gather Round” is right. Excellent instrumental talent combined with obvious adoration from the crowd created an entertaining and unique performance by The Devil Makes Three at the Bijou Theatre on Sunday night. Pete Bernhard, Lucia Turino and Cooper McBean performed songs from their nearly 11 years of performing as an “old ‘n new timey,” bluegrass band. Ignoring the appearance of being in an upscale venue, audience members of all ages immediately jumped to their feet to

dance and sing along to the their favorites, “Old Number Seven” and “Do Wrong Right.” As the night went on, even the disgruntled gentleman next to me developed a smile that grew wider with each toe-tapping song. As the concert continued, it became clear this group is dedicated to the music they produce. Assumed countless hours, writing and rehearsing enabled them to perform everything insync -- from the way they effortlessly began another song to the timing of when they picked up their waters, they do everything together. It’s this cohesiveness that allowed the trio to give such an effortless performance.

They lack, however, the often most critical feature of any band: a drummer. Instead, they have something so much better. Insert Lucia Turino, the bassist who managed to make playing two hours of an upright instrument seem easy all while creating exciting rhythms and beats that ensured no one was left in their seats by the end. “This is pretty cool,” Bernhard laughed during the middle of the set. “I think we’ll come back to Knoxville. I don’t know why it took us so long to come back.” With a crowd as passionate about The Devil Makes Three as the band itself, it seems likely Knoxville will be seeing the

Fleetwood Mac extends tour, adds Thompson-Boling show Staff Reports Fleetwood Mac, the BritishAmerican pop rock sensation of the ‘70s and ‘80s, has added 28 dates to its “On With the Show” tour, including an appearance at Thompson-Boling Arena on March 8, 2015. This tour has seen the reintroduction of original member Christine McVie to the band’s lineup, a surprising addi-

tion after the singer’s 16-year absence from the band and its shows. Fans can expect to hear beloved classics from the band including “Everywhere,” “Landslide” and “On Your Way,” as well as new songs the band is working on for a yet-to-be-released album that is expected to be produced following the tour, which ends in Witchia, Kansas on March 31, 2015.

Dates were added because of continually sold-out shows and high demand for the band to expand their tour. This second leg of Fleetwood Mac’s tour will begin Jan. 16, 2015 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The group announced the added dates last week following two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York. Tickets go on sale Oct. 20 at 10 a.m., and prices are expected to range from $60 to $250.

California-based band again. Hopefully they once again bring along their opening act, the Cave Singers. Those who came late missed out on the Seattle-based band who could easily headline its own show to a crowd the same size. While it didn’t quite fit the Americana feel of the night’s headliner, the group delivered a humorous and light-hearted performance that made the audience coming in from the pouring rain forget about their woes and smile for a while.

However out of place their music may have seemed in such a nice venue, The Devil Makes Three didn’t seem to notice and instead, acknowledged during a break between songs how far the group has come as a band. “I was raised in Vermont by a bunch of weird hippies, and when I was 12 years old I met this guy over here,” Bernhard said looking over at McBean. “We’ve been making weird music ever since.” Unique in sound and in style, the band possesses the abil-

ity to silence a crowd with one strum of the guitar and send the same crowd into a rambunctious uproar of dancing and skipping just a moment later. That roar reached new heights when the band came back for a two-song encore, sending the audience off into the night with only the best it had to offer. And so it seemed that even before they’d left the theater, Knoxville was already praying for The Devil Makes Three’s return.

SPORTS HENDERSON continued from Page 1 And with Johnson’s high level of energy has become something the Vols defense can always feed off of. “I’m just trying to match his (Johnson’s) intensity when I’m out there and play to his standard,” sophomore linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin said. From machine guns to a high leg kick, Johnson’s celebrations come in many forms. They have also inspired a range of celebrations from his teammates. After a big play, Reeves-Maybin throws a big fist pump. Junior linebacker Chris Weatherd stares down at his “watch” after recording a sack. The list goes on. For the Vols, the celebrations simply mean one thing: more fun. But what does their head coach think? “He’s (Jones) real okay with it,” Johnson said. “He likes us out there having fun. “That’s the big thing. If we’re out there having fun, playing together, celebrating, good things happen. We’re out there balling and stuff. It just makes us play even better.” Earning their time: With UT’s victory against Chattanooga all but wrapped up, Jones decided to empty the bench. The move, however, wasn’t just to avoid injuries or give his starters – many of which have played upwards of 80 snaps a game – some rest. It also allowed some of the more inexperienced players on UT’s roster to get some live repetitions, which may be the break a few Vols needed to see the field more. “They need to understand there can be no drop off from our first team to our second team to our third team,” Jones said. “That’s the standard, the expectation. Obviously, their reps are minimal, so you need to make sure you understand what a quality mental rep is and being focused in practice. That will be the topic in our team meeting today.” But of all the young players to see action late in Saturday’s contest, Jones seemed to be impressed the most with freshman defensive lineman Dewayne Hendrix. “Dewayne Hendrix is an individual that has all the skill sets, possesses all the skills,” Jones said. “It’s just playing faster and you get that with opportunities and situations. His play will continue to increase in the defensive front. It all starts with him.”

FOOTBALL

Lane, Hurd expected to be ‘full go’ as Ole Miss looms Dargan Southard

Assistant Sports Editor (@dsouth16) The “M.A.S.H. unit” is getting mixed results. After leaving Saturday’s game with a slew of injury questions – particularly at the running back position – the Volunteers appear close to having two ball carriers back in action, while another is projected to miss an extended period of time. At Monday’s press luncheon, Tennessee head coach Butch Jones confirmed that both freshman Jalen Hurd (shoulder) and senior Marlin Lane (ankle) are expected to practice this week and play on Saturday against Ole Miss. Despite going though the latter part of pregame warmups with no apparent setbacks, Lane spent Saturday afternoon on the sidelines without pads on, while Hurd had just two carries for seven yards. “We need to get Marlin Lane back healthy,” Jones said. “We fully anticipate him being available for the Ole Miss game.” Added Jones, “Jalen will be full go. He will be at practice today. He will participate.” Meanwhile, senior running back and starting kick returner Devrin Young, who suffered “a couple of broken ribs” on Saturday, and had just three touches for 10 total yards, will miss some game action, but Jones didn’t specify just how long the Knoxville native will be sidelined. For the first time all season, though, Young’s name was removed from the starting kick returner spot on the Vols’ depth chart, which is updated weekly and released every Monday afternoon. “Devrin Young, right now, I don’t really have a true timetable,” Jones said. “It’ll probably be a couple weeks, two to three weeks. We’ll see how his body heals and progresses.” Berry nice: With Young’s health status currently in question, defensive back Evan Berry, who’s been listed on the depth chart as a starting kick returner all season, is an immediate replacement candidate, beginning

this Saturday versus the Rebels. However, Berry, who spent time working with the running backs during last Tuesday’s practice portion made available to the media, will continue to float around different position groups as Jones and company look to implement the versatile freshman in as many ways possible. “We’ll continue to look at him at running back, and again, it’s trying to find a home for him,” Jones said. “He does have some unique skills to him. But it’s really putting him in a position where he can work off those skills and get better, so he’ll split time in practice playing at safety and running back.” Still, though, it’s Berry’s role as a kick returner that could land the 199-pound freshman in the end zone

sooner rather than later. At least that’s what A.J. Johnson believes after watching Berry rip off a 68-yard runback on Saturday that nearly ended in the checkerboards. “I was real excited for him, and I was on the sidelines going crazy,” the senior linebacker said Monday. “I thought he was about to take it back. “Y’all are going to see more of that soon. He’s going to get him a couple touchdowns.” Climbing Jacob’s ladder: Back in full pads on gameday for the first time since the season-opener versus Utah State, left tackle Jacob Gilliam appeared ready to pull off a minor miracle. The redshirt senior, who tore his ACL on Aug. 31 but didn’t opt for season-ending surgery, was dressed

out completely for Saturday’s 45-10 win over Chattanooga, but ultimately, Gilliam never entered the game after not being deemed “game ready.” Jones, however, isn’t completely shutting the door on the left tackle’s late-season return — a comeback that could prove monumental considering the abundant struggles of UT’s current offensive line. “I believe, at some point, Jacob Gilliam will have an opportunity to impact a game, I do,” Jones said. “I don’t know when that opportunity will present itself, but I do believe he will play again at the University of Tennessee. I do believe that. “It is just getting his body in shape. So it is getting his fundamentals back, his technique back. He is a full go in practice. He is in every single period.”
