Vols fall, Dooley under pressure Vols push hard after miserable first half, Bulldogs bite back during fourth quarter David Cobb Assistant News Editor Derek Dooley wasn’t on the sideline for UT’s 41-31 loss to Mississippi State, but his perch in the press box of Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville allowed him a panoramic view.

“We played a pretty bad first half,” Dooley said. “I thought that was pretty apparent.”

Behind a steady chorus of cowbells from an overcapacity crowd of 57,831, the Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0 SEC) rolled up 293 yards and 19 first downs, taking a 27-14 halftime lead.

“We bled to death, just bled to death,” Dooley said.

“We hit stretches where we played pretty good, which is what is bizarre.”

With a suddenly potent defense, the Vols hit one of those stretches in the third quarter, closing the gap to 27-24 and holding MSU without a third quarter first down.

Lecturer discusses Andes Samantha Smoak Contributor Students will get a chance to learn about the struggles of Latin American politics with tonight’s Ready for the World lecture.

Called “Indigenous Politics of the Andes,” the lecture will take place at 7 p.m. today in the UC. Students will have the opportunity to see how politics play out in Latin America.

UT’s Ready for the World initiative

was created to help students gain international and intercultural knowledge they will need for working and competing in the 21st century, according to the program’s website.

The Latin American and Caribbean Studies department and the Global Studies Program sponsored the lecture.

The lecture will feature Dr. Luis Tuaza, who is currently on a postdoc at the University of Kentucky. Tuaza is an expert on the politics of Latin America.

He earned his Ph.D. from FLACSO-

Ecuador and is also a lecturer there.

Jana Morgan, chair of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies department and leader of the of the lecture’s organization, vouched for Tuaza’s credibility.

“He has published several articles and books. His most recent book was titled ‘Ethnicity, Religiosity, and Politics in the Central Andes of Ecuador,’” Morgan said.

Around Rocky Top 1917 — Mata Hari executed Mata Hari, the archetype of the seductive female spy, is executed for espionage by a French firing squad at Vincennes outside of Paris.

She first came to Paris in 1905 and found fame as a performer of exotic Asian-inspired dances. She soon began touring all over Europe, telling the story of how she was born in a sacred Indian temple and taught ancient dances by a priestess who gave her the name Mata Hari, meaning “eye of the day” in Malay. In reality, Mata Hari was born in a small town in northern Holland in 1876, and her real name was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle. She acquired her superficial knowledge of Indian and Javanese dances when she lived for several years in Malaysia with her former husband, who was a Scot in the Dutch colonial army. Regardless of her authenticity, she packed dance halls and opera houses from Russia to France, mostly because her show consisted of her slowly stripping nude.

She became a famous courtesan, and with the outbreak of World War I her catalog of lovers began to include high-ranking military officers of various nationalities. In February 1917, French authorities arrested her for espionage and imprisoned her at St. Lazare Prison in Paris. In a military trial conducted in July, she was accused of revealing details of the Allies’ new weapon, the tank, resulting in the deaths of thousands of soldiers. She was convicted and sentenced to death, and on October 15 she refused a blindfold and was shot to death by a firing squad at Vincennes.

There is some evidence that Mata Hari acted as a German spy, and for a time as a double agent for the French, but the Germans had written her off as an ineffective agent whose pillow talk had produced little intelligence of value. Her military trial was riddled with bias and circumstantial evidence, and it is probable that French authorities trumped her up as “the greatest woman spy of the century” as a distraction for the huge losses the French army was suffering on the western front. Her only real crimes may have been an elaborate stage fallacy and a weakness for men in uniform.

1990 — Mikhail Gorbachev wins Nobel Peace Prize Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev wins the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in ending Cold War tensions. Since coming to power in 1988, Gorbachev had undertaken to concentrate more effort and funds on his domestic reform plans by going to extraordinary lengths to reach foreign policy understandings with the noncommunist world.

Some of his accomplishments include four summits with President Ronald Reagan, including a 1987 meeting at which an agreement was reached to dismantle the U.S. and USSR intermediate-range missiles in Europe. He also began to remove Soviet troops from Afghanistan in 1988 and exerted diplomatic pressure on Cuba and Vietnam to remove their forces from Angola and Kampuchea (Cambodia), respectively. In a 1989 meeting with President George Bush, Gorbachev declared that the Cold War was over.

Gorbachev also earned the respect of many in the West through his policy of non-intervention in the political upheavals that shook the Eastern European “satellite” nations during the late-1980s and early1990s. When Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Poland, and other Iron Curtain countries began to move toward more democratic political systems and free market economies, Gorbachev kept Soviet intervention in check. (This policy did not extend to the Soviet republics; similar efforts by Lithuania and other republics were met with stern warnings and force to keep the Soviet Socialist Republics together.)

CAMPUS NEWS INDIGENOUS continued from Page 1 “We hope students will have the opportunity to learn about how traditionally marginalized people struggle to influence the political world that has historically mistreated them,” Morgan explained. “We also hope students will learn about political, social, and ethnic dynamics generally, and in Latin America in particular.”

Andrew Ray, graduate student in modern foreign languages and literatures and a graduate teaching associate, agreed with Morgan.

“I hope to learn more about Ecuador and about how other forms of knowledge, such as indigenous concepts of life, are being used in Ecuador’s government,” Ray said. “The more that I learn from others, especially from people that are from other parts of the world, the broader vision I have, which helps out in so many ways: education, cultural awareness (and) job opportunities.”

“I think it would be interesting to see how

other countries run compared to ours,” said Laura Ritch, senior in communication studies.

Ray agreed.

“It is refreshing to hear ideas that aren’t centered around a ‘myworld.com’ mentality.

That is to say, we are the nation that constantly sends out a message to ourselves and to the rest of the world that everyone is an individual consumer that exists only in the present tense. We are so much more than that,” said Ray. “We are part of something larger, and it is important to hear what other people have to say because our globalization comes off as a monologue, but in reality, we live in a global dialogue.”

Missy Buice, graduate student in political science and a graduate teaching associate, is also excited about the lecture.

“I am excited that UT is bringing such exciting lecturers to discuss very diverse topics,” she said.

Members of the UT swimming and diving team cheer on their teammates during the Orange and White Intersquad meet on Friday.

Skydiver breaks record, sound barrier The Associated Press ROSWELL, N.M. — Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner landed safely on Earth after a 24-mile jump from the stratosphere in a dramatic, record-breaking feat that may also have marked the world’s first supersonic skydive.

Baumgartner came down in the eastern New Mexico desert minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,097 feet, or roughly 24 miles, above Earth. He lifted his arms in victory shortly after landing, sending off loud cheers from jubilant onlookers and friends inside the mission's control center in Roswell, N.M. It was the highest-ever jump for a skydiver, though it wasn’t immediately certain whether Baumgartner had broken the speed of sound during his free-fall, which was one of the goals of the mission. Organizers said the descent lasted for just over nine minutes, about half of it in free-fall.

Three hours earlier, Baumgartner, known as “Fearless Felix,” had taken off in a pressur-

ized capsule carried by a 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon. After an at-times tense ascent, which included concerns about how well his facial shield was working, the 43year-old former military parachutist completed a final safety check-list with mission control.

As he exited his capsule from high above Earth, he flashed a thumbs-up sign, well aware that the feat was being shown on a live-stream on the Internet.

During the ensuing jump — from more than three times the height of the average cruising altitude for jetliners — Baumgartner was expected to hit a speed of 690 mph.

Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his pressurized suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus 70 degrees.

That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids.

But none of that happened. He activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the desert east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty. He then

was taken by helicopter to meet fellow members of his team, whom he hugged in celebration.

Coincidentally, Baumgartner's attempted feat also marked the 65th anniversary of U.S. test pilot Chuck Yeager successful attempt to become the first man to officially break the sound barrier aboard an airplane.

At Baumgartner’s insistence, some 30 cameras recorded the event Sunday. Shortly after launch, screens at mission control showed the capsule as it began rising high above the New Mexico desert, with cheers erupting from organizers. Baumgartner could be seen on video, calmly checking instruments inside the capsule.

Baumgartner’s team included Joe Kittinger, who first attempted to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles up in 1960, reaching speed of 614 mph. With Kittinger inside mission control Sunday, the two men could be heard going over technical details during the ascension.

“Our guardian angel will take care of you,” Kittinger radioed to Baumgartner around the 100,000-foot mark, and noted that it was get-

ting “really serious” now.

An hour into the flight, Baumgartner had ascended more than 63,000 feet and had gone through a trial run of the jump sequence that will send him plummeting toward Earth. Ballast was dropped to speed up the ascent.

Kittinger told him, “Everything is in the green. Doing great.”

As Baumgartner ascended in the balloon, so did the number of viewers watching on YouTube. Nearly 7.3 million watched as he sat on the edge of the capsule moments before jumping. After he landed, Red Bull posted a picture of Baumgartner on his knees on the ground to Facebook, generating nearly 216,000 likes, 10,000 comments and more than 29,000 shares in less than 40 minutes.

On Twitter, half the worldwide trending topics had something to do with the jump, pushing past seven NFL football games.

Among the Tweets was one from NASA: “Congratulations to Felix Baumgartner and RedBull Stratos on record-breaking leap from the edge of space!”

Rising — People assuming they’re experts on all political matters With the election less than a month away now, scores of people have taken to their social media sites of choice to illustrate their own quasiexpertise in any and every political matter. Just a quick glance at your Facebook news feed will have you wondering when all of your friends had time to take a Constitutional Law class, attend a lecture on the effects of tariffs on the production of domestic goods and also fact-check all of Paul Ryan’s supposed “numbers.” Having an opinion is great, having an informed opinion is even better. But having an uninformed opinion, not so much.

Falling — Faith in football UT fans can only take moral victories for so long. It’s time to start seeing those supposedly “feel-good” victories in the win column instead of the loss column. Fans are acting out more than ever. Between hostile rants on Twitter calling for a change in coaching to the Rock with written facts, Tennessee football faith is starting to give way. Dooley’s job hangs in the balance, as he will more than likely limp through October winless.

November is the win-or-go moment for him.

Anything less than a perfect 4-0 and a respectable bowl performance will have Big Orange Country looking for a new man to fill those orange pants.

Rising — Tennessee men’s basketball Spring practice kicked off during fall break.

Between the impressive facial hair and a few new recruits, the men’s basketball team is bound to impress this season. Expectations are higher after Coach Martin’s team last season

outperformed their initially dismal outlook.

Jarnell Stokes and his size 20 shoes are the key for this team. If he can continue to develop, he can be force down low, something the Vols haven’t had in years.

Falling — Classy clothing options Columns of The Daily Beacon are reflections of the individual columnist, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Beacon or its editorial staff.

With this change in weather, girls are breaking out their finest cold weather apparel. Skin-tight leggings with lady parts falling out are best matched with Ugg boots. To enhance the laziness, embrace your Norts. The derelict look is always the best.

Brunching important to weekend G o and Go

Rising — Flannel, beards and manly men As autumn quickly falls into place, men around Knoxville are embracing their sudden love for leaves and plaid. Lumberjacks always have the sexy edge up, but people have neglected flannel until now just because of the threat of sweat and shame. Fur isn’t only being found on Ugg boots but has now spread to people’s faces. Patchy beards and scruff give rustic women something to look forward to and gives men an opportunity to keep themselves just a little bit warmer in the coming months.

Falling — Motivation, in all aspects of life Fall break has come and gone, and student motivation is on an all-time low. There’s only eight weeks left in school this semester, and having the fleeting feeling of freedom that the break provided taken away has done little to improve the majority of students’ morale. For the most part, midterms are over, but with finals looming on the horizon it’s going to be hard to stay motivated through the coming winter.

Julia Ross Dear friends, we all know that during the school week it is awfully difficult to eat a balanced breakfast. By this point in the semester, I have gotten comfortable with telling myself a balanced breakfast can consist of sixteen ounces of coffee and a piece of fruit.

This sort of self-deception is ubiquitous across our campus; please spare me the nutrition lecture. Certainly, I realize that my caffeine intake is potentially less than healthy and that fruit lacks the sort of lean protein that young adults require. Thank you for your concern, please pass the half and half. However, we can all acknowledge that, although a solid weekday breakfast is hard to come by, an excellent weekend brunch is a pleasure to attend. With the first round of exams now out of the way and another eight weeks ahead of us, I think this is an excellent time to take a break from scholastic tips to discuss something a little more savory — brunch.

This first column will only discuss the traditional brunch places in Knoxville. I plan to follow up with more off the radar options nearer to exams.

In Knoxville, there are a few standard brunch haunts. Freshman: the sooner you are introduced to these places, the better. Today I offer you the obvious Knoxville standards: Long’s Drug Store and the Downtown Grille and Brewery. Long’s technically serves breakfast and lunch, but when you eat it as the first meal of the day after a great (or not so great) night out, I think it should count as brunch. You should know that Long’s is a local family owned business located on

Kingston Pike and is not open on Sundays.

Even though you might have to wait behind a gaggle of high school kids to get a table and then wait a painfully long amount of time to actually get your food, it is worth it. When it arrives, it will absolutely hit the spot — I promise.

The menu is mostly short-order diner fare, so you really can’t go wrong. I advise that you order a milkshake to go because let’s be real, you will probably need it to get through the rest of your Saturday. The Brewery has better service than Long’s and is open on Sundays.

They kindly offer 25 cent breakfast cocktails even though you will likely be dining long after acceptable breakfast hours. The brunch menu is smaller than I would like but everything is good. A Brewery specialty, Mountain Eggs, should not be missed by anyone who is a bacon lover. For all of your darling vegetarian friends, the Greek Fritatta is an excellent option. For anyone inclined to order the Italian Fritatta, you should consider asking them to go light on the cheese.

Otherwise, it is a delicious dish as well. Don’t be intimidated by the Chilaquiles. Your server will likely describe them to you as the Mexican take on oatmeal with a tortilla base.

I realize this might sound very questionable, but you will probably be surprised. Everyone I’ve known who’s tried them has found them to be rather tasty. During Sunday brunch, the Brewery will also have a little jazz group playing. Although it gets a little loud, the atmosphere is great.

Since a cold Monday after fall break is going to be drab for all of us, I hope that this lessthan-short and scientific survey of brunch options will brighten your day with thoughts of the weekend. Happy Brunching!

College can act as this huge gateway to a great life, if you play your cards right.

However, what they don’t teach us — at least not in my major — is how to do just that.

When do we start looking for jobs? When should we start applying? How do you find a job to get that experience required for better jobs later? So many job opportunities are out there. A simple search on Google provides a wealth of information about job openings all over the country, proving that they do exist, but many of them, if not most, require applicants to already have experience.

Where can we gain this experience? I have heard a lot of professionals talk about internships and how they give you a step into a company. Having done one myself, I can attest to the fact that I didn’t learn much. I did learn how to sort office supplies and how to live off of even more meager wages after cutting my hours at work to fit in the internship. There are simply not enough opportunities around Knoxville for college students who actually want to begin their careers before they leave school.

In previous columns, I’ve talked about how I am a first generation college student. I knew how to get to this point, but I have no idea of how to take the next step. I’m juggling my options and I hope that I can put enough money away before graduation in order to further my dream of entering the publishing world, which, if I want any real chance, requires moving to a large city, such as Chicago. From there, I don’t know what to do next. There are loads of opportunities, but not enough guidance.

The statistics available that discuss how

many college graduates who are unable to find employment within 6 months to a year after graduation can be very disheartening. Are these students unable to find employment because those openings don’t exist, or are they so frustrated by a world that is not exactly looking to take in and train the next generation of workers? I am finding myself increasingly pushed into that second category. College is supposed to be a place that both teaches us about the subject of our choosing and about the world we are about to get thrown into.

As a student, you learn how to juggle working with your classes, or you learn how to stretch your scholarships as far as they will go. You learn about the beauty of ramen and just how terrible it is for your health but not for your wallet. You learn about public transportation and its miraculous existence when your car breaks down and you can’t afford the repairs just yet. Most of all, you learn how to grow up in an environment that fosters your potential.

What many of us do not get could end up being the most influential aspect, though, and not in a positive light. Ideally, we’d all be able to befriend many professors who could help us jump through professional loopholes and discover jobs where our foot is already in the door. The reality is that there aren’t enough professors here, and the professors we have don’t always have enough time for all of their students. This isn’t their fault, of course. That’s a major part of our changing culture. At UT, we are fortunate to have access to UT’s Career Services, which for the most part does an excellent job in helping guide those of us who need direction toward the path of our choosing. The problem does not lie there, though. It lies in the lack of opportunities for networking and experience many of us desperately need in order to create our own careers.

Thrifty fashion has perks Melodi Erdogan Staff Writer Thrifting may not be advocated by high fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, but college students nevertheless embrace the idea of second-hand shopping.

Stores like Goodwill and Thriftsmart in the Knoxville area accept clothing donations which are then sold at reduced prices that can range from half to a quarter of the original sales price. Shopping second hand has its advantages.

“Second-hand shopping, one, is very inexpensive,” said Amy Robinson, a senior English major.

“Plus, thrift stores are more vintage and it is more original than going into a Forever 21 or a Macy’s and getting something that the next person may have.”

Located downtown on Union Avenue is Reruns, a high-end consignment boutique that specializes in brand name and designer clothing. Brianna Lamberson, the manager and a personal stylist at the store, said that even though the store is considered thrift, it is actually consignment, where customers can donate clothing and receive a credit that they can use to purchase merchandise.

“Consignment is brand new or relatively new in style or in season clothing,” Lamberson said. “We specialize in designer or high-end names like Gucci and Chanel, but we have almost everything that you can think of all the way down to J. Crew and the Gap.” Robinson prefers the thrift shopping experience over shopping at malls. Mainly thrift shopping at Goodwill, Robinson said that she gets more compliments on her second-hand clothing as opposed to something she purchased at the mall.

“When I go in the mall, I always risk saying I’m going to walk into my building and ten girls are going to have the same thing, which is most likely the case,” Robinson said.

“I have never (gone) to a thrift store and found something that there’s been more than one of.”

Brandon Mckenna-Wagner, freshman in biological sciences and an American Eagle associate, said that even though it may be more expensive, buying clothing straight from the store has its benefits.

“When you are shopping for yourself at the mall you know that (the) article of clothing is yours and that it wasn’t something someone else got tired of,” Mckenna-Wagner said. “It is like buying a car — you want the brand new one that no one else has fallen in love with.”

Evan Bryan, freshman in psychology and also an associate of American Eagle, said that since he grew up with two older brothers, hand-me-downs were common in his wardrobe. Bryan says that thrifting helps personal identity because it combines the styles of many others to create your own original style.

“Chances are the clothes you are going to thrift for are older and there’s not another one like it. Sure it might be used by someone else, but that why you wash it,” he said.

Lamberson, who personally shops for and styles customers at Reruns, said that second-hand shopping can help one’s quest to achieve personal style.

“When you go into a mall they have looks that are put together and have collections, so you’re basically dressing in the way that store tells you to dress,” Lamberson said.

“Here you have so much more freedom and it is really a challenge to put together a cool outfit that is unique, and you can be influenced by what’s in trend, but you don’t have to look like everyone else.”

Mckenna-Wagner said that thrift shopping can take time and effort that most people don’t have and can limit a person’s perspective on style.

“As a young adult I really have no idea what my style is, so I’m still exploring all the different looks,” he said. “In the mall you have a plethora of stores to choose from, so there’s

almost a store for every style which can help someone’s discovery of their own personal style.”

Robinson, who enjoys the search for the diamond in the rough while thrift shopping, said that the one disadvantage to second-hand shopping occurs when the shopper is expecting to find something specific.

“You never know what you’re going to find and it all depends on what people donate,” Robinson said.

“You have to go in not really expecting to find a particular item versus when you go to a store, you can pretty much guess what is at a particular store before you go.”

The experience of shopping second hand compared to shopping at the mall is like night and day, said Lamberson.

“In a thrift store, like ... Goodwill, you’re really on your own hunting for the treasure piece that’s the amazing find, whereas at the mall everything is just at your fingertips,” Lamberson said. “It’s all preselected for you so there’s little to no excitement in finding something amazing, because chances are fifteen other people that day found the exact same thing.”

Thrift and second-hand stores are commonly associated with lower income families, said Bryan.

“Some people have a skewed idea of thrifting as just wearing someone’s old clothes which is to be for lower income houses. This isn’t the case,” Bryan said. “Anyone should be able to thrift and not feel like this, lower income homes aren’t the only ones that like to save money.”

Bryan, who dresses for his mood on a daily basis and mainly shops at American Eagle and Abercrombie & Fitch when he can afford it, said that there’s nothing like having a successful second-hand shopping experience.

“The feeling of satisfaction when you find that one perfect article of clothing, that’s exactly why you want, exactly your size, is more satisfying than just being handed what you need.”

Live for more than status quo Pure, uninhibited fun. I was happy, and my happiness was not fueled by a material item, nor by alcohol or another controlled substance.

During my brief moment of enjoyment, I felt a burst of heat on my back, and in the corner of my eye I saw orange and yellow lights.

Oh my God, there’s a fire behind me.

Wait. There’s a fire behind me!

I jerk around to see the club bartender pouring alcohol on the island, then take a lighter and ignite the liquor to create a literal wall of fire.

But he wasn’t done yet. The bartender then drank a copious amount of the alcohol, then proceeded to take a burning bottle and engulf it in his mouth.

He was breathing fire and spitting fireballs to match the beat of the music.

Was it dangerous? Possibly. Was it worth it? Of course.

My sister and I stumble out of the night club and look for our next destination. We wanted adventure, and essentially, we wanted to feel something deeper than our monotonous lives at work.

“I want to move here,” Liz said.

I looked at her perplexed demeanor and searched for any signs of doubt on her face. But there were none. Instead, there was conviction in her voice as she smiled.

“I think I’m going to do it.”

No, I’m not moving to Santo Domingo anytime soon, but wouldn’t it be nice to move to a place where you could honestly feel comfortable in your own skin and never question your identity? Perhaps one can find that in America, in your own backyard, or down the hall in your dorm room, but here’s my genuine advice.

If you are truly happy and content with your life, please do not accept the status quo. What is life without passion?

Human suffering is inevitable, and to a certain extent, we were innately designed to be questioning beings, but doubt leads to change. However, stress and fear are not necessary to living a full life.

One. Two. Three. Four.

One hundred, eh. One hundred.

We didn’t have any more Dominican dollars, but that was ok. We were happy and we were able to perform the bachata. That, in itself, was enough.

Victoria Wright Arts and Culture Editor It’s about noon and I’m sitting in the back of a small Hyundai going approximately 70 mph through heavy traffic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

My sister Liz and I are being driven to a Budget location in the center of the city to rent a car. The trip was a spontaneous idea formed by my sister and was brought to my attention one Wednesday through a text message. When I received it, it was perfect timing, because coincidentally she wanted to go during the same week as my fall break.

And I sure did need the vacation.

Since I arrived on Thursday, I constantly questioned everything that I first experienced.

One. Two. Three. Four.

One hundred. Two hundred. Three hundred. Four-hundred.

I was counting the steps to bachata — a style of music native to the country — and counting the money and my Dominican dollars. Both were failing miserably.

Fast-forward to that night when my sister and I are driving, feverishly searching for the notorious Venezuela Avenue. We didn’t know how to get there, and the hotel map was futile against the constant twist, turns and round-abouts that ruled the city.

Eventually we made it. The street was covered in lights and trash, food and persistent vendors, and women and men adorned in tight fitting clothing and doused in perfume and cologne. The sight was not far from an image of a nightclub in New York.

The club, called Drink, was smoky and crowded. Music blared across the entire room, and after awhile, the sound became muffled by the numbness of my ear canals. But it didn’t matter — no es importa. The bass in the songs was clear enough where my body naturally found its rhythm, and in that small moment I experienced something that had been missing from my life since childhood.

Notes from Vols’ loss Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor Game Notes: Patterson produces Tennessee fans will take little solace in milestones after the difficult loss to No. 19 Mississippi State on Saturday night, but Cordarrelle Patterson’s performance was a bright spot in an otherwise difficult evening for fans of the Big Orange.

Patterson scored two touchdowns, the first a 98-yard kick return to bring the Vols back within three points and the second an 11-yard fade from Tyler Bray. Patterson is the first Volunteer to have both a kick return and receiving touchdown in a game since Carl Pickens in 1991.

“It was pretty amazing,” Patterson said.

“The blocks my teammates had for me were great, there was no way I could miss that hole. I just danced through the hole and made it to the end zone.”

The wideout finished the game with just one more reception and 25 total yards, but also added 57 yards on the ground on three carries. The rushing performance by Patterson was highlighted by a 34-yard run where he changed directions twice, then outran the Bulldog defense down the sideline for a big first down.

“I was just trying (to) get out there and make big plays,” Patterson said. “I was just trying to get open and score.”

“He’s a special guy,” said head coach Derek Dooley. “We need to find a way to get him the ball.”

Bray hurts his knee Tyler Bray went down and grabbed his knee after scrambling for a short gain. His leg rolled underneath him and his was

noticeably limping for the remainder of the drive.

“The knee is all right,” Bray said. “I just took care of all of your questions.”

Bray didn’t miss a snap and was instrumental in the Volunteers mounting the second half comeback. The junior quarterback was 13-24 with an interception that was inconsequential.

“I thought Tyler pressed a little bit in the second quarter,” said Dooley. “But he settled down and I think he played a good game.”

Vols lose turnover battle The Vols had two turnovers on the night, the Bray interception and a Devrin Young fumble. Bray’s interception came with 13 seconds left in the first half on a deep ball to P a t t e r s o n .

Mississippi State took a knee and went into the locker room.

The Young fumble was more costly.

The Volunteers had reeled off 10 straight points to climb within three points of the Bulldogs and were moving the ball again. Young had picked up the first down, but stud cornerback Johnthan Banks ripped the ball free from Young’s arms and recovered the fumble on the sideline. Mississippi State turned around and scored a touchdown, extending their lead to 10 points with just under eight minutes left.

“We had a bad turnover and gave up a big play, but still with 5:22 to go we had a great football game,” Dooley said.

Tennis duo turns heads Matthew Magill Staff Writer Due to injuries last season, the Lady Vols struggled at times to field more than one doubles tennis team.

This season, they have a pair that expects to compete for a national championship.

Fresh off of a successful run last weekend at the ITA A l l - A m e r i c a n Championships, junior Brynn Boren and senior Kata Szekely are feeling confident about the upcoming season.

The star-studded field at the tournament, held this season in Los Angeles, was shaken up when Tennessee’s 34th-ranked pair defeated No. 15 Lauren Embree and Danielle Collins of Florida in the first round, No. 2 Courtney Dolehide and Pamela Montez of UCLA in the second round and No. 5 Emina Bektas and Brook Bolender of Michigan in the quarterfinals before falling to No. 19 Beatrice Capra and Hanna Mar of Duke in the main draw semifinals.

While on paper the matches appeared to be upsets,

Boren wasn’t surprised by her success.

“Both of our resumes show what we’re capable of,” Boren said. “I don’t really find them upsets. Kata got to the semifinals of NCAAs in doubles last year and I was at one point ranked No. 2 in the country with my partner Sarah (Toti) until she tore her ACL and MCL. As a freshman, I went to NCAAs through doubles.”

Last season, Boren and Szekely were forced to play at higher positions in the lineup because of various injuries.

In spite of playing up, both players still succeeded as Boren was named to the AllSEC 1st team and Szekely joined her on the 2nd team, but both feel their own individual talent is furthered by a healthy friendship off the court with each other.

“If you want to have good chemistry on the court, you have to get along off the court, too,” Szekely said.

“We already knew our game styles because she’s been here for three years now. We always knew we could play well with each other; we just have to work on it. We’re

friends off the court, too, and that really helps on the court.”

While injuries forced Tennessee to play with fewer than a full squad last season, they are back to full strength with a team that features two freshmen and four sophomores this season. Boren and Szekely are excited about the prospects of playing with a full roster behind them.

“It’s weird practicing with a full eight or nine people out there, but it’s nice,” Boren said. “This team is a young team, but we’re very talented. We could go far. Even though it’s a young team, I see ourselves as a top 16 team, top 8 team.”

Based upon their performance at the ITA All-American Championships, the pairing believes they will be contenders for a national championship in the spring.

“Honestly, I think the way we played last week — I’m not trying to sound cocky — but I think we can beat anyone in the country,” Szekely said. “We should be definitely ranked higher than we are right now.”

GAME RECAP continued from Page 1 The Vols would have three chances to take the lead. They couldn’t do it.

The last one came when UT took over deep in its own territory with 9:54 remaining. On the second play of the drive, a first down run by Devrin Young turned into a fumble that was recovered by the Bulldogs.

Mississippi State scored promptly, pushing its advantage to 34-24.

The Vols came within a field goal at the 5:22 mark when Tyler Bray found Ben Bartholomew on a touchdown strike in the back of the end zone.

But the Mississippi State offense reverted to its first half ways, driving 75 yards on 12 plays, running out the remainder of the clock.

“Focusing, not making mental errors, and busts,” linebacker Herman Lathers said.

“That’s what’s killing us. We give up busts, we give up big plays, (we) put ourselves in a hole. The bottom line is that’s what’s killing us.”

UT had a big play of its own in the second quarter when Cordarrelle Patterson returned a kickoff 98 yards to pull the Vols within three points at 1714.

His third quarter touchdown catch made him the first Vol since Carl Pickens in 1991 to record a kickoff return for touchdown in the same game as a rushing receiving touchdown.

“It was pretty amazing seeing the good blocks that my teammates had for me,” Patterson said. “I just danced through that hole and tried to get to the end zone.”

Patterson also amassed 57 yards on three carries, but was held to just two catches, as UT ran a season-low 58 offensive plays while State owned the time of possession by more than 13 minutes.

“It was kind of hard,” Patterson said, “because we know as an offense we can do anything we want to do if we’re all on the same page. We’re just out there sitting, just watching, it’s not a good feeling.”

Young led UT in rushing with 58 yards on 13 attempts.

A.J. Johnson set a career high with 21 tackles, becoming the first Vol since 1964 with 20 or more.

“To their credit, the team came out and had a great third quarter,” Dooley said. “We came out and stopped them on defense, had a chance to win, and now we’ve got to learn how to execute down the stretch.”

Tennessee will host No. 1 Alabama on Saturday. Dooley said he is unsure whether he will be on the sidelines for the game.

“It’s definitely us,” Lathers said. “Busts, missed assignments, missed alignments, not playing our right gaps, not tearing off blocks to make the plays.

It’s on us, not the coaches.”

Is Dooley the problem?

Lauren Kittrell Sports Editor Look over Tennessee’s current football schedule.

Look at their wins and losses.

Look at the scores.

Then look at Tennessee’s wins, losses, scores and schedules over the last four seasons.

Those calling for Derek Dooley’s release as head football coach should remember the facts.

In the last four years, the Vols have lost more games than they’ve won in the regular season.

They’ve gone through three head coaching changes.

The best season Tennessee saw was with Lane Kiffin and the worst was with Phillip Fulmer.

There’s no question that UT has been in a rut of late, but is that Dooley’s fault?

Look at this season’s games. Look at the

plays, the coaching decisions and the mistakes.

Most of these issues have been from the players’ side. Dropped balls, missed plays, bad game-time decisions, all issues that can be addressed by coaches, but can’t be fixed without fixing the player himself.

Talent? They have talent, but what can Dooley do with an immature, overhyped team that relies on a few golden boys?

They’re present-day biblical idols that stand frozen like a golden calf as game-winning plays march past their noses. A crowd of orange turns its hate on Dooley rather than the (relatively) worthless idols and calls for his removal.

It takes years to build a program and even more when that program is filled with cavities.

The continued changes in coaching positions work like candy on a toothache. It tastes so good and helps mentality for a while, but hurts like hell and won’t fix the problem.

Keep Dooley around and give him a chance to build a winning program. Give him a chance to make the changes he can with the players he has. Players make mistakes, players drop the ball. That’s understood. Dooley has a chance to fix the root problem, not just ice over the rough parts.
