UT students light up the sky with political billboard Allie Clouse
Contributor UT students are encouraging their peers to vote as Rob Heller, professor in the School of Journalism and Electronic Media in UT’s College of Communication and Information, and his media graphics students design posters during Presidential elections. Four years ago, students first designed posters that were placed around campus to encourage political participation. This year, however, Heller wanted to take it to the next level. Students were assigned early in the semester to create non-partisan advertisements encouraging others to vote. McKenzie Sherman, junior in journalism and electronic media, described the importance that

this assignment held specifically this year. “We’re at a pivotal time in our country, and you’ve got to vote,” Sherman said. “It’s your duty … It’s your right.” These projects have strict guidelines to ensure that the messages were effective and creative. Heller asked his students to use three words (one of which had to include some form of the word vote) in black in combination with one other color and only typography. Sherman talked about how these restrictions helped her form her idea and design a graphic for this project. “You can see a part of someone’s personality by what they create, and I believe that was a fun part of the project,” Sherman said. Despite these limited parameters, the students’ work successfully showcased their talent. In an attempt to expand this assignment, Heller

called Lamar Advertising for local billboard placements. This put more pressure on the students to create designs that could be easily read while in motion. The national advertising company contributed several print and digital billboard spaces across Knoxville so pieces made by UT students could be displayed throughout the community and reach a broader audience. The signs were deemed a success, and Lamar Advertising publicized them to other regional offices. UT’s students’ work can now be seen in Phoenix, Arizona, with other potential cities willing to pick up the designs. Heller’s media graphics class and UT’s communication program look to gain positive momentum from this. See BILLBOARDS on Page 3

Fairness for Veterans petition garnering support
“Frankenstein” castle has a history of hauntings
With Veteran’s Day this Friday, Nov. 11, the state of Tennessee is rallying to sign a petition named the Fairness for Veterans Act. This petition will be sent to Congress and is hoped to aid in signing the aptly named bill into law. This bill will address the issues of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in veterans, many of whom receive lessthan-honorable discharges and little to no mental health assistance. The bill will require the military to consider medical evidence of PTSD or TBI in the discharge review process. The Fairness for Veterans Act is a non-partisan bill, sponsored by Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO), and has been signed and supported by fortyfour of the nation’s top Veterans Service Organizations.
Mary Shelley, author of the popular novel “Frankenstein,” spent 1814 close to Castle Frankenstein, a German castle with a mysterious history. According to folklore, this castle’s owner, Johann Conrad Dippel, was interested in alchemy, anatomy and corpses in a way that is remarkably similar to Dr. Frankenstein in Shelley’s novel. Not only did Dippel claim that he had created an “elixir of life,” but he also published works about anatomy and the possibility of the transference of live between and into corpses. This year, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Shelley’s completion of the “Frankenstein” manuscript, the castle will host events around the classic tale, and celebrations will last until Nov. 6.
First female Attorney General dies at 78 Janet Reno, the first woman to serve as the attorney general for the United States, died early Monday morning from complications of Parkinson’s disease at the age of 78. In addition to being the first female attorney general, Reno also holds the honor of having served the longest in the position in its 150-year history. She first began serving when former president Bill Clinton was in office. Although she was not his first pick, she was a top prosecutor for 15 years in Miami-Dade county, Florida, and a highly respected member of the Justice Department, both for her strong personality and her expertise. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch called her “one of the most effective, decisive and well-respected-leaders in [the department’s] proud history” who “never shied from criticism or shirked responsibility.”

Former NASA director shows how to build teams at UT Sarah Plemmons Contributor
Frank Martin, former director of astrophysics at NASA, spoke to University of Tennessee faculty on Wednesday, Nov. 2, in Hodges Auditorium about the 4-D System of team building that he used during his time as a director for NASA. Martin said that most of his learning came from experience. In 1966, Martin earned a bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics from Pfeiffer University, then a Ph.D. in physics and a degree in underwater acoustics from the University of Tennessee in 1971. “I’ve never had an astronomy class in my life except for what was part of a general physics class,” Martin said. He was contacted by NASA headquarters about a job opening for the director of solar and terrestrial astrophysics after working with the Naval Oceanographic Office in January 1973. Martin worked on the development of Hubble Space Telescope, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, sounding rockets, operational satellites and all astrophysics research and
development and data analysis while director. He worked for NASA until 1990, when he became director in civil space for Lockheed Martin. He held responsibility for contracts and mission development work of the Hubble Servicing Missions, Space Infrared Telescope Facility, Lunar Prospector and the Relativity Mission. “By the time I was 35, I was the director of astrophysics for the nation,” Martin said. “We were on the very front end of pulling together a plan for the great observatories, a plan to map out the cosmic background of the universe. And it’s nice being 35 and being in the middle of something like that because you don’t know what you can’t do.” Martin has been involved in more than 100 workshops that focus on developing teams. Initially, NASA put missions together by randomly grouping people and teaching them about leadership and teamwork. NASA administration found that this was causing problems in the program. Charlie Pellerin, Martin’s deputy director of astrophysics, designed a system that would work specifically to create functional teams – the 4-D System. Martin explained that the 4-D System begins
with social context, or the driving force behind human behavior. It is what motivates a team to work together. Martin explained social context in terms of the 1986 Challenger tragedy. “We all know that there was O-ring involved and that the launch was in cold weather; and therefore, the physics and engineering of the problem guaranteed a failure. It was just preordained,” Martin said. When the presidential commission who reviewed the launch analyzed it, however, it was revealed that there were people in the system who knew the risks of launching, but their voices were not heard by the administrators who made the choice to leave Earth. “It was social context that caused the failure, Martin said. Martin described the 4-D System as existing on a graph. The horizontal axis represents how people think, whether it is emotionally or logically. The vertical, or y axis, represents how people perceive, whether they are intuitive and can detect and infer evidence, or they are sensing and rely on tangible evidence. The axes divide the plane into four boxes. See MARTIN on Page 3

Final chancellor selection made Staff Report Alexander N. Cartwright, the provost and executive vice chancellor of the State University of New York, has been named as the third and final candidate for the position of chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Cartwright earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Iowa in 1989 and graduated with highest distinction. He then earned a doctorate degree in the same field in 1995 from the University of Iowa. As provost for SUNY he established an advisory group of presidents to plan and evaluate initiatives and refine the system’s goals. He chaired a diversity task force that addressed
MARTIN continued from Page 2 The first box, the combination of emotional thinking and intuitive perceiving, has more nurturing people. These are the people who specialize in growing the team. In the second box, emotional thinking and sensational perceiving combine. People in this box need to include others and feel included themselves for the team to thrive. The third box, a combination of logical thinking and sensational perception, is where those who lead and combine the other three quadrants reside. The fourth box combines logical thinking and intuitive perceiving. This is where the planners and the thinkers thrive in a group. Martin said it is through this system that teams find the most success. “It is a mechanism for people to be heard,” Martin said. He has been the president of Martin Consulting, Inc., a company that helps space flight teams pass board examinations, since 2001. The company facilitates workshops and
campus climate, cultural competency training and professional development. Cartwright also appointed chief diversity offices at each institution in the SUNY system as well as diversity advisory boards. During his tenure, he established a performance improvement framework, which included a system-wide steering committee of distinguished faculty, and developed a performance improvement plan template for each campus to use. Cartwright’s itinerary is not yet available, but he will have an open forum on Thursday, Nov. 10, between 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Baker Center Toyota Auditorium. Faculty and students are encouraged to attend and ask questions. The final candidate will be selected by the end of November. sends professional coaches to meet with NASA administrators and develop a system that will build better teams for the program. “There are two things that really matter to me – empathy and accountability,” Martin said. “If you can’t be empathetic to others, then chances are you’re not going to be an effective leader. And if you can’t be accountable and own your piece of the work, then you can’t build trust.” Taimi Olsen, director of the Tennessee Teaching and Learning Center, encouraged faculty members to take what they heard at the lecture and apply it in the classrooms, particularly with graduate students who are relying on communication to complete their research. “There’s a tradition where we get groups of students together. There’s a leader, a note taker and a recorder, and that’s really basic,” Olsen said. “We have an opportunity to really bring in some of that training when we’re working with our teams, and it’s important to spend that time on relationship building and communication.” At the conclusion of the lecture, Olsen presented Martin with an award recognizing him as an accomplished alumnus.

BILLBOARDS continued from Page 1 The country-wide exposure hopes to display UT’s proficiency in education through the specific skills that students are learning before graduating in the College of Communication and Information. “I like an assignment that can work on several different levels, and I believe that this one does,” Heller said. “The assignment
does both; it gets a very important message across, but they learn a lot about design at the same time.” Looking forward, Heller has questioned how he can top this success in 2020. He has pondered everything from the jumbotron in Neyland Stadium to the Goodyear blimp that flies over the Super Bowl. However, the main goal of the project is not publicity – it is awareness. “It doesn’t matter which way you’re voting … Just do it,” Sherman said. “Your vote does count, and it does matter.”

Sweet Caroline misses the red flags Caroline longmire This is Fine
It is amazing what girls are able to overlook in the blind hope that the guy they are currently talking to is going to turn out to be boyfriend material. They sit there, with their phone in their face, analyzing just how they can twist the idiotic text that was just sent to them into something to make it seem like the guy who sent it isn’t the dullest and most unqualified person to bring home for Thanksgiving. Red flags pop up left and right as those young girls, myself included, try their hardest to make the guy fit into the (truthfully) loose mold that we have created in our minds for our dream dude. We aren’t asking for the world — we just want the guy that we managed to snatch up to not be the actual worst. Once we have one, we still see all the flashing arrows that point to eventual romantic destruction, but we plunge on anyways, praying that this guy will learn how to occasionally discuss classical literature and to, God forbid, put on something other than basketball shorts. I have had the fortune of becoming incredibly smitten with losers. Now, I am well aware that I am not the physical reincarnation of Jackie O or Grace Kelly, but somehow, the absolute lowest of the low seem to pop up on my doorstep smelling of Swisher Sweets
and emotional unavailability. Eventually, girls, specially myself, begin to think that the real Prince Charming rides in the passenger seat of a friend’s old Pontiac Grand Prix rather than on a white stallion. Far too many takehome-to-mama girls are being inadvertently turned into take-to-Hardees-on-the-one-yearanniversary girls. All of the guys that like me seem to have the same red flags. They all either smoke, have family backgrounds that would scare off any normal person or keep a running list of girls that “texted me first, I swear!” Sadly, these red flags do not even cross my mind because I am too busy swooning over how “messy-cute” their hair looks after they run their fingers through it, or how tortured and misunderstood they look while sitting across from me in a coffee shop. I love an underdog. A guy that always takes the road less traveled because the other road is full of people that listen to today’s hits, take part in organized religion or a guy that I have to constantly make excuses for to my family when he texts me last minute about how he can’t come to a family cookout. I’m positive that I am not the only girl that has ever been, or currently is, in this kind of situation. I’m sure that hundreds of other pretty darn fantastic girls on this campus
have stood at the right hand of their loser boyfriend as he pays for only his Taco Bell order because “he needs the rest of the money for gas this week.” Girls that deserve to get Instragrammed and bragged about during Bro Night — which in a perfect world does, in fact, happen on the regular — are left with nothing but the ever-burning hope that the boys they are settling for will turn into men that initiate conversations with their father’s whenever he comes over for Sunday lunch. In short, this is both a plea for mercy toward the boys that, despite their many, many shortcomings, are able to trap us with their ability to play the guitar, and a cry for strength from me to my fellow hopeless romantics that are unable to tell the difference between a genuinely nice guy and one that asks you how your day was on a biannual basis. One day, we will find the guy that warms our hearts, rather than a guy that warms a Hot Pocket in our dorm microwaves because he is “too tired” to go eat an actual meal with a girl who just wants to split an entrée with a guy in a button-up shirt.

Finally, the Tuesday spot pays off Jarrod Nelson Socialized
Tuesday is election day, and I simply can’t not talk about that. It’d be like if Jalen Hurd decided to transfer, and no one gave a reason why. It would be unsatisfying, wildly speculative, and in the end, probably justified. What does anyone have to say any more about this election, though? This race has been litigated more than the OJ Simpson trial and the ending of Lost. Everyone has heard the arguments. Absolutely no one’s mind can be changed. We are in such a partisan environment that religious conservatives are going to overwhelmingly vote for a man who has admitted he enjoys sexually assaulting women and has been pro-choice right up to the moment it was not convenient anymore. I do not know who is going to win. I do not know what America we are all going to wake up to Wednesday morning. What I do know is that America is not the place I thought it was, and it definitely is not the place I want to it to be. Fear, anger and a Randian selfishness have driven everyone to lows I figured that we had long since buried beneath bedrock. The exploitation of people’s emotions against peo-
ple’s reason has been flawlessly executed to produce a political climate that is more like a hurricane than a crisp fall day. If I could define 2016 in one word, it’s “hate.” Ask anyone how they feel about the election and if their sentence does not start with, “Well, I don’t like either of them,” then I’ll give you a nickel. Oxymoronically, I hate hatred. The very idea of the word exhausts me. Positivity is much easier. It’s inspiring. It gets things done. But this year has killed mine. I fell in love with politics when I was a kid. Even when I was young, I sensed the importance of it. I remember watching Barack Obama debate John McCain and being fascinated with the twists and turns. Now we’re in something different. People have been hating against “politics as usual” this election, but it simply isn’t politics as usual. Because at least the usual politics had facts and figures. Is this any better? Is this really the change that we want? Is that how much hate we have? An entire political party has sold its soul to a man that stands for absolutely nothing and thus for absolutely
anything, all on the hubristic hope that they can control him after they make him the most powerful man in the world. They have sowed doubt about the integrity of this country amongst the people of this country all for crass personal gain. They have pushed the discourse, ever so slowly, into an era of postfactual discussion, because that is the only arena in which they can be right. It has worked swimmingly. No matter who wins Tuesday, the damage has been done. It would take a generational shift to undo what’s been done, and the next generation has already been set up to fail. Shoving an already cynical group of kids made distrustful by a massive economic collapse into a political arena that looks like this is a recipe for disillusionment. Because if people are so much more interested in believing things that are so untrue, then what on earth would be the point of trying to be correct? But hey, maybe that was the point all along.

Knoxville Uncorked: Cheap eats in cool atmosphere Bryanne Brewer Arts and Culture Editor As college students, we appreciate cheap food. However, cheap meals shouldn’t mean we can’t eat in style – or sacrifice taste and quality. Located in Market Square, Uncorked offers quality food in a unique atmosphere for a relatively cheap price. With nothing on the menu priced over $10, the restaurant does a pretty good job of offering “high class” meals. Varying from dips, skewers and sliders to fuller meals, Uncorked sticks to the small plate style – small, but filling. After some slight confusion and delibera-
tion regarding the simplistic menu, I ordered the bacon-wrapped chicken skewer and the linguine and meatballs. After waiting a bit – which was strange since I was one of only a few customers present – I received two skewers of chicken and a medium sized bowl of linguine and meat sauce (and a strangely salty piece of bread). The food wasn’t amazing, but it was still pretty good. Especially since my total bill ended up being under $20, I wasn’t going to be too picky about the food. The skewers had a lot of meat on them, but the linguine just seemed to fall short of being particularly moving. I could have ended up with the same results by following the instructions on the back a Ragu container, but hey, you pay for convenience, right?
Luckily for Uncorked, the main draw to their restaurant is the atmosphere they provide. Besides cheap food, they offer full bars, books and vinyl. While waiting for the check, I looked around. They have a moderate collection of both local music and more popular music in several genres. They also have an eclectic collection of books ranging from selfhelp to cookbooks. That’s when it clicked, Uncorked isn’t just a bistro. Uncorked is more of a hangout spot, with the intention for customers to come in, drink, peruse the vinyl and maybe thumb through a book while eating a meal. It’s definitely a strange experience, but if you have time and a little bit of cash, Uncorked might be worth your time.

FOOTBALL
New injuries take All American Berry, return captains to practice Rob Harvey
Asst. Sports Editor
Injury news continues to hit the Tennessee football team, but this time it’s both good and bad. On Monday, head coach Butch Jones announced that junior All American Evan Berry, who was injured early against Tennessee Tech, will miss the rest of the season because of an undisclosed knee injury. “We have lost the services of Evan Berry,â€? Jones said. “He’ll be out the (rest of the) year ‌ It kind of goes with the theme. He’s going to be missed not only from a return aspect of things, but also we thought he was playing very, very well for us in the backend of our defense.â€? For the past two years, Berry has been used primarily as a kickoff returner. Due to injuries this year, however, he has been starting at one of the safety positions on defense as well. Berry finishes the season with 12 tackles and had 460 kickoff return yards with one return for a touchdown against South Carolina. As for Berry’s replacement defensively, freshman Nigel Warrior will likely get most of the work if Micah Abernathy is still injured. “(Warrior) certainly has a good skill set. I’ve said that since camp,â€? defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said. “I’m excited, and I saw great progress over the last two weeks ‌ We’re making progress, and we’re
going to need him to play really well these last three weeks.� As for replacing Berry on kickoff returns, that job will be left up to a handful of players, Jones said on Monday. People such as Tyler Byrd, John Kelly, Micah Abernathy and Marquill Osborne are expected to step up. Good injury news was announced on Monday too, as Jones announced that two of his captains, junior running back Alvin Kamara and senior defensive back Cam Sutton, would practice this week. “There is a possibility that both of them could play (on Saturday). We expect Alvin to play,� Jones said. Kamara was injured early against Alabama, and with the Vols running back core already stretched thin with Jalen Hurd transferring, the Vols could definitely benefit from having him back. For Sutton, he has missed almost the whole season due to an injury during the third game of the season against Ohio. With the secondary also stretched thin due to injuries, getting Sutton back, a veteran player on the defense, would be huge. As all the injuries continue to stack up for the Vols, coach Jones remains optimistic about the composure of the team. “I’ve never been a part of a football season with as many adversities as we’ve had, and the team stays focused and stays the course and not let anything bother them. I’m really proud of them for that,� Jones said. The Vols will take on Kentucky on Saturday at noon and the game will be televised on the SEC Network.
GRADING THE VOLS Trenton Duffer, Asst. Sports Editor
Quarterbacks
A
Josh Dobbs completed all but one of his passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns. Quinten Dormady came in for relief in the second quarter and completed 9-of-13 passes for 109 yards. Even Sheriron Jones joined the action and completed his lone pass for two yards. The lack of defensive pressure gave the trio more time to throw, and Dobbs threw two flawless touchdown passes to Josh Malone in the first quarter.
With Jalen Hurd gone and Alvin Kamara injured, John Kelly stepped Running Backs into the starting role and ran with it – literally. Kelly finished with
B+
seven rushes for 104 yards, including a 73-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Kelly is a physical, quick runner that gives the Vols the spark they need. Carlin Fils-aime came in to relieve Kelly and ran for 27 total yards and two touchdowns. Jeremy Lewis also ran the ball six times for 34 yards.
Wide Receivers Josh Malone caught two great touchdowns and finished the day with
A-
five catches for 112 yards. Freshman Brandon Johnson saw some of the best action of his career, pulling in five catches for 64 yards. Tyler Byrd, Jakob Johnson and Jauan Jennings all had two catches for a combined 52 yards. Jennings also caught a touchdown. Six other Vols also caught a pass on Saturday.
Offensive Line The Vols offensive line had one of their best performances of the
year, not allowing a single sack on Dobbs, Dormady or Jones. A solid rotation on the front lines helped the Vols stay fresh in the trenches. Granted, Tennessee Tech’s defensive line isn’t as menacing as most SEC schools. But the Vols were still able to hold back the opposition.
A-
Barnett didn’t have a single sack on Saturday on his Defensive Line Derek way to the Vols’ all-time sack lead, but that’s mainly because
A
he only played for a few drives before being pulled for risk of injury. Still, the Vols’ defensive line racked up three sacks on Tech and looked great overall.

Green goes from London to Brooklyn to Rocky Top Tyler Wombles Staff Writer
The distance between London, England and Brooklyn, New York is 3,458 miles. Add 620 miles to that and you get the distance between London, England and Knoxville, Tennessee: 4,078 miles. That is how far Cheridene Green is from home as she sits in a chair on the court at Thompson-Boling Arena during the Lady Volunteers media day, responding to the questions of reporters trying to understand exactly who she is and where she came from. The 6-foot-3 junior forward was born in London and transferred to the University of Tennessee to join the Lady Volunteers basketball team this offseason, after making a stop at ASA College in Brooklyn. When any person is that far away from home, having support from those around them is necessary, especially if that person loves their homeland much as Green clearly does. When asked what she misses about London, her answer was simple: everything. “The food is different, the people, the accents,” Green said. “And the weather, of course.” According to Green, the development of younger players is handled a bit different in London. She played for the Sevenoaks Suns and the London Towers club teams while in high school. “Playing in England is very different to playing in America,” Green said. “The style is different out (in America). They don’t get taught the fundamentals of basketball until they’re in college, whereas out (in England), we get taught earlier. It’s different. People are more athletic out here, whereas we get taught to slow down and be smart about it. “Definitely the pace (is different). Everyone out here is quicker, and people are stronger.
Cheridene Green Courtesy of Donald Page • Tennessee Athletics That’s the difference.” After high school, Green was able to take what she learned in England and transfer it to the junior college ranks, moving to Brooklyn and playing for ASA College. There, she averaged 13.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.5 steals per game as a freshman, starting 15 games and playing in 21. Those numbers improved to 20.5 points, 16.5 rebounds, 3.9 blocks and 2.5 steals per game her sophomore season. She was named National Junior College Athletic Association AllAmerican twice – second-team in 2014-15 and first team in 2015-16. “I think it was an amazing experience,” Green said. “I learned a lot with my coaches and also adjusting to the system. Also, it allowed me to prepare for actual college and all the major conferences, so I was able to watch games and teach myself how to adjust to their system. So it was great.” Following Green’s success in the junior college ranks, the Lady Volunteers came calling. Green committed to the team in May of 2016, becoming the first international player in the history of the program. “You’re talking about a player that’s aggressive, hard-nosed, great rebounder, strong (and) steady,” Lady Volunteers head coach Holly Warlick said.
“She’s an old-school Lady Vol player for us. … She’s a little bit of a Bashaara Graves. So I think she’s going to be a great addition to us the following year.” The following year will be the first time Green suits up for the Lady Vols. This season, she is relegated to watching and learning off the court. Green suffered a torn ACL in her right knee during her time with ASA College and will sit out this season in order to let the injury heal. “I’m making sure when I’m watching practice ... that I will be stronger to get back,” Green said. “And also learning what’s going on so I can adjust and get acclimated. I’m also making sure that I want to come back in game shape and work on all the little muscles I have so I can be ready.” Warlick expressed excitement in the opportunity that the injury presents for Green, to learn and become engrossed in the Lady Vols’ system. “(Green) is out with a knee injury, and we knew that going in,” Warlick said. “She had an ACL (injury). And so she will sit out this season, which I think is great for her. She’s a really good student, so she can get ahead on her classes. But she can sit back and learn and watch our system.” Despite the negativity that sometimes comes with suffering such an injury, Green explained how the support from her coaches and team has been instrumental to her already in her young Tennessee career. “On my visit (during recruitment), I really loved the coaches,” Green said. “That’s my main thing. I would love to have a relationship with a coach because that builds a trust. And from when I can trust a whole staff, that means everything to me. Then nothing else matters because I know if anything happens, a problem outside of basketball, I know I can always go to my coaches and talk about anything. “I knew they cared about me. And especially being so far away from home, I need that kind of support, which made it very easy to get fitted
I know I can always go to my coaches and talk about anything. I knew they cared about me. And especially being so far away from home, I need that kind of support, which made it very easy to get fitted in here.” Cheridene Green, Junior Forward
in here.” Green is making the transition from not only the junior college game to the much more talentheavy battleground of SEC women’s basketball, but also leaving the big city of Brooklyn for the hallowed hills of Tennessee. And she’s doing it all with an injury that will keep her sidelined for the entire 2016 through 2017 season. But she keeps smiling. As she said, at the University of Tennessee, she is surrounded by a support system that helps her transition feel that much easier. And that can make all the difference.
Tennessee still has realistic shot at winning SEC East Associated Press
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s season-long goal of reaching the Southeastern Conference championship game remains very much within reach, even though its league record suggests otherwise. The Volunteers (6-3, 2-3 SEC) are below .500 in league play but should be favored in the rest of their games, including Saturday’s matchup with Kentucky (5-4, 4-3). Tennessee follows that up by hosting Missouri (2-7, 0-5) and visiting Vanderbilt (4-5, 1-4). If the Vols win all three games and No. 22 Florida (6-2, 4-2) drops at least one of its remain-
ing conference matchups, Tennessee would capture its first Eastern Division title since 2007. Tennessee would win a tiebreaker with Florida because it defeated the Gators 38-28 this season. Tennessee coach Butch Jones said the Vols are approaching the final three weeks as “three onegame seasons.” The Vols already have lost once this year as a heavy favorite when they fell 24-21 at twotouchdown underdog South Carolina on Oct. 29, a stunner that put Tennessee’s East title hopes in jeopardy. “When you play in this conference, you have to be a different type person, you have to have a different mental makeup,” Jones said. “The mental
effort and the mental intensity that is required week in and week out in this conference, there are no bye weeks. There are no off weeks. You have to play your best football. If you don’t - if you’re not mentally prepared - you’re going to get beat.” Tennessee essentially had a bye last week when it exited conference play and blasted Football Championship Subdivision program Tennessee Tech 55-0 to end a three-game skid. Although the Vols didn’t play a conference game, they crept closer in the East standings because Florida lost 31-10 at Arkansas. Florida hosts South Carolina (5-4, 3-4) on Saturday and then visits No. 19 LSU (5-3, 3-2). The Gators are dealing with numerous injuries
, including a shoulder problem that has sidelined starting quarterback Luke Del Rio. Kentucky, which has never played in the SEC championship game, has a less direct path than Tennessee because the Wildcats lost 45-7 to Florida earlier this year. Kentucky still could get to Atlanta if it beats Tennessee while Florida loses to both South Carolina and LSU. The first step for the Wildcats is recovering from a heartbreaking 27-24 loss to Georgia. “We’ll be ready to go,” Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said. “They’ll be back to work, I’m sure. They’ve been resilient and they’ll bounce back. There’s no doubt in my mind. Don’t ever quit your cattle on a stormy night.”
