Vols downed by Tigers in four overtimes Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor In a game that looked like it would go Tennessee’s way, the Volunteers couldn’t put away the Missouri Tigers and eventually fell 51-48 in four overtimes. “It’s a hard loss and we fought good and our players played their tails off,” head coach Derek Dooley said. “We just didn’t execute at the end to win the game.”

Tennessee (4-6, 0-6 SEC) started with the ball in the fourth overtime period and elected to go for the first down on fourthand-three from Missouri’s 18-yard line instead of kicking a go-ahead field goal. Tyler Bray’s pass fell incomplete, as senior receiver Zach Rogers was unable to corral the ball to move the chains. After three running plays on its possession, the Tigers sent redshirt freshman Andrew Baggett out for the 35-yard field goal attempt. Baggett’s kick sailed through

the uprights and the Tigers flooded the field to celebrate. “It was fourth-and-three and I didn’t have a lot of confidence that we were stopping them on the other side,” said Dooley. “So they scored four straight touchdowns. On our bread and butter, we didn’t execute …” Tennessee led by 14 with 8:03 left in the third quarter, but Missouri (5-5, 2-5 SEC) scored two unanswered touchdowns, capped off by a fourth-and-12 touchdown

pass from quarterback James Franklin to Dorial Green-Beckham with less than a minute left in regulation, sending the game to overtime. “B-Mo (Byron Moore) said he had the deep half, but they had two guys in his zone and when the quarterback scrambled he took one of the guys and the quarterback hit the other guy,” said senior cornerback Prentiss Waggner.

Students seek Street named after UT legend alternative study spots Beacon Staff Reports

Claire Dodson Staff Writer Imagine a finals week where everyone always has a computer, the lines at Starbucks are never more than a couple people long, and outlets and white boards abound. Tables are always available, the temperature is comfortable, and the noise level is just right. With over 27,000 students, this seems about as likely as all finals being cancelled. However, with over 50 buildings on the main campus alone, UT students are getting creative with their study habits. “I like to go places where there aren’t very many people,” Iman Ferdjallah, junior in biological sciences, said. “Once it gets crowded, I go find somewhere else.” It is this adventurous spirit that leads students to venture out of the all-inclusive, crowded Hodges Library and search for unique, unexpected and unconventional study spots. For Ben Parrott, sophomore in chemistry, this means everything from the study lounge on the 6th floor of Min Kao to a booth in the Presidential Court Building Café. “Min Kao is really convenient

when I’m on the Hill, it has pretty much everything you need for studying — couches, tables, conversational atmosphere,” Parrott said. “If I have another class on the Hill later that day, it’s kind of a pain to walk anywhere else.” Although the café part of PCB requires some form of payment to get in, unlimited snacks and drink refills while doing homework is an obvious perk. There is also a computer lab with printers on the bottom floor. Some UT students find total quiet the only way to get studying done. For Sarah Moog, freshman in communications, her search for quiet leads her to the James D. Hoskins Library. “The ... library is awesome for people studying individually and there is usually plenty of room,” Moog said. “But if you talk above a whisper, people look at you funny.” For group meetings, the Baker Center also provides a relatively uncrowded study space and has several classrooms and study rooms available. The recent renovations to HSS, including the common areas on each floor and the computer lab on the third floor, make it another spot that is conducive for group studying. See ALT. STUDY on Page 3

When UT decides to name a street after someone, they do not select just any normal Volunteer. Peyton Manning, Tee Martin, Chamique Holdsclaw — all of those Vols were famous for their superior dedication to the Volunteer community. Enter Ann Baker Furrow, the newest addition to UT road name honorees. As the first woman to ever play a men’s varsity sport at UT, Furrow was a member on the golf team in 1964 and 1965. She went on to win five Tennessee Women’s A m a t e u r Championships and still holds the record for Knox Area Women’s Golf Association titles with 12. Ranked 19th in a Division I coaches’ poll, UT women’s golf has become a stalwart on leaderboards. The sport would not exist at UT, however, if it had not

She pushed for the creation of the team in 1991, serving as the interim head coach for a year before working as an assistant coach for the next fifteen. Her fundraising efforts have raised $2 million to endow the team. Even though her

titles and contributions in the sports world are renowned, sports were just the beginning for Furrow. She continued to pioneer, serving as the first woman appointed to the UT Board of Trustees. At the time, in 1970, Furrow was also the youngest member ever on the board at age

26. Over the next 18 years, Furrow would serve as the board’s vice chair and on the Academic Affairs Committee. Perhaps her most impressive achievement at UT was the breadth of her achievements themselves. She received the first Robert R. Neyland Academic Scholarship, served as the president of her sorority Alpha Delta Pi and was a homecoming queen finalist in 1966, as a junior. She also filled the sweetheart role for Phi Delta Theta — her now husband, Sam Furrow, was a brother there. On the road that bears her name already lay the homes of several sororities in the Sorority Village. ADPi moved in Friday night, and more are scheduled throughout the year. No one can deny that Ann Baker Furrow Boulevard will be a busy street someday. Granted, Ann Baker Furrow was a pretty busy woman herself.

Around Rocky Top 1954 — Ellis Island closes On this day in 1954, Ellis Island, the gateway to America, shuts it doors after processing more than 12 million immigrants since opening in 1892. Today, an estimated 40 percent of all Americans can trace their roots through Ellis Island, located in New York Harbor off the New Jersey coast and named for merchant Samuel Ellis, who owned the land in the 1770s. On January 2, 1892, 15-year-old Annie Moore, from Ireland, became the first person to pass through the newly opened Ellis Island, which President Benjamin Harrison designated as America's first federal immigration center in 1890. Before that time, the processing of immigrants had been handled by individual states. Not all immigrants who sailed into New York had to go through Ellis Island. Firstand second-class passengers submitted to a brief shipboard inspection and then disembarked at the piers in New York or New Jersey, where they passed through customs. People in third class, though, were transported to Ellis Island, where they underwent medical and legal inspections to ensure they didn't have a contagious disease or some condition that would make them a burden to the government. Only two percent of all immigrants were denied entrance into the U.S. Immigration to Ellis Island peaked between 1892 and 1924, during which time the 3.3-acre island was enlarged with landfill (by the 1930s it reached its current 27.5-acre size) and additional buildings were constructed to handle the massive influx of immigrants. During the busiest year of operation, 1907, over 1 million people were processed at Ellis Island. With America's entrance into World War I, immigration declined and Ellis Island was used as a detention center for suspected enemies. Following the war, Congress passed quota laws and the Immigration Act of 1924, which sharply reduced the number of newcomers allowed into the country and also enabled immigrants to be processed at U.S. consulates abroad. After 1924, Ellis Island switched from a processing center to serving other purposes, such as a detention and deportation center for illegal immigrants, a hospital for wounded soldiers during World War II and a Coast Guard training center. In November 1954, the last detainee, a

Norwegian merchant seaman, was released and Ellis Island officially closed. Beginning in 1984, Ellis Island underwent a $160 million renovation, the largest historic restoration project in U.S. history. In September 1990, the Ellis Island Immigration Museum opened to the public and today is visited by almost 2 million people each year. 1996 — High school sweethearts murder their newborn child Young lovers Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson check into a Delaware motel. During their stay, Grossberg gave birth to a 6 pound, 2 ounce baby. When the infant was later found dead in a trash container behind the motel, the strange and unsettling story drew national attention. Grossberg and Peterson were high school sweethearts. Though Grossberg became pregnant during her senior year of high school, she managed to conceal the pregnancy from friends and family. Letters sent from Grossberg to Peterson during the fall of her freshman year of college reveal that as her delivery date approached, she was feeling resentful toward the unborn child and thinking about her options. “I am sorry I look fat and ugly,” she wrote. “I wish I could have my nice body back. All I want is for it to go away. I can’t get caught. I can’t. I can’t.” After Grossberg gave birth, Peterson placed the infant in a garbage bag and whisked it out to a trash bin behind the motel. In an autopsy report, medical experts revealed that the baby was alive at birth and died of massive head trauma, which refuted the couple’s claim that the infant was stillborn. Though prosecutors initially tried to pursue murder charges against Grossberg and Peterson, both eventually pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter. Peterson was the first to cooperate with officials, and in return he received a two-year sentence. Grossberg received the same sentence plus six additional months after agreeing to cooperate. At the sentencing, Grossberg made an apparently remorseful statement. “I put aside what was best for my baby,” she said, “and that pain will be with me the rest of my life.”

CAMPUS NEWS ‘Pregame showcase’ discusses critical water quality problems Owen Schumacher Staff Writer Two hours before kickoff on Saturday morning, UT students and faculty learned that the world’s declining water quality is a bigger problem than perhaps expected, and will have serous implications if not dealt with. At UT’s weekly “Pregame Showcase,” Steven Wilhelm, professor of microbiology, spoke to the audience with his lecture, “Protecting Our Water Resources: A Microbiologist’s Perspective.” Wilhelm earned a B.S. in genetics and a Ph.D. in plant sciences from the University of Western Ontario in 1994 and has been working at UT since 1998. Wilhelm and his research team have been dedicated to studying microbes and how they react to changes in their environment. Although they are tiny and seemingly inconsequential, he calls microbes “the interface between us and the planet.” There are hundreds of thousands of microbes in every milliliter of seawater and lake water. Most of these are harmless to human beings and even play an essential role in sustaining life. “Without microbes, there would be no other life on the planet,” Wilhelm said. “They are responsible for about 50 percent of photosynthesis. … They clean up our water, they clean up our waste, and they are critical in our food production.” These microbes have been threatened in the last several centuries by climate change and by pollutants. Changes to environmental microbes have damaged much of our water supply’s quality. Wilhelm and his research team focus on algal blooms, one of the major problems threatening microbes. Algal blooms, caused mainly by microcystin, a blue-green algae, can be devastating to bodies of water, especially freshwater lakes. Wilhelm spoke specifically about instances in Wuxi, China. In 2007,

Lake Taihu, where Wuxi gets its water supply, became so infected with an algae bloom that bottled water had to be brought in for the city’s four million residents for over a month. In America, the Great Lakes are experiencing a similar problem. In the last two years, 98 illnesses have been reported in Wisconsin from drinking algae-infected water. Not only are we failing to protect the quality of our water, as Wilhelm said, we are also exceedingly wasteful with it. The United Kingdom uses 35 percent of its water to flush toilets, and Americans use about 400 liters of water per person, per day. Wilhelm emphasized that the world needs to become more conservative with its water use. Malina Kinnaird, undecided freshman, believes scientists like Wilhelm are doing critical work. “I think more researchers need to follow his example and get serious about solving the water quality crisis. It should be made a high priority.” The next and final “Pregame Showcase” will be Nov. 24, when history professor, Jay Rubenstein, will speak on “Armies of Heaven: The First Crusade and the Quest for the Apocalypse.”

MIZZOU continued from Page 1 The Vols got the ball back with 43 seconds left at its own 39-yard line, but after an incomplete pass and a play for no gain, Dooley elected to let the clock run out and take the game to overtime instead of calling one of his two timeouts. “The first two play(s), I was pushing it,” Dooley said. “We screwed up both of those plays — poor execution. I didn’t have confidence we were going to get

it on third-and-ten.” The two teams traded touchdowns in the first overtime, and the Vols needed a Tyler Drummer touchdown run on a fourth-andfour fake field goal from the Tiger’s 5-yard line to take the game to the third overtime period. “It was a great snap, the line blocked really well and it opened up for me,” Drummer said. “It was like a dream come true.” Both the Vols and Tigers failed to convert on the 2point conversion in the third overtime to send the

game to the fourth, where Missouri would eventually win the game. Tennessee went into the locker room at halftime with a 21-7 lead and had held the Tigers to a mere 64 yards of total offense. The Vols left points on the field though, as running back Marlin Lane fumbled inside the Tigers’ 10-yard line and kicker Michael Palardy missed a 43-yard field goal attempt wide right. The second half was a different story, as the Tigers found a rhythm against the UT defense. Franklin, who

was held to a meager 2-of-8 passing for 18 yards in the first half, exploded for 208 passing yards and four touchdowns on 17-of-24 in the second half and overtime. “They pretty much ran the same thing, we pretty much ran the same thing,” said linebacker A.J. Johnson. “They just started making plays.” Tennessee will look to get its first SEC win, much like last year, against the Vanderbilt Commodores next Saturday.

ALT. STUDY continued from Page 1 The pursuit of the best studying spot takes some students outside the boundaries of campus. UT students and professors looking to work while remaining close to a vital caffeine resource often stop in at The

Golden Roast, a coffee shop just off campus, across from the Baker Center and the Kappa Sigma house. Stephanie Phillips, senior in English, finds that The Golden Roast has everything she needs for a good study session: plenty of tables, outlets, Wi-Fi, and, of course, coffee. “At The Golden Roast there aren’t blinding fluorescents, which admittedly can

be sometimes necessary to get studying done, but a quiet atmosphere with wornin couches and soft music,” Phillips said. “It is a very nice and local alternative to the library.” When the clock strikes midnight and the paper hasn’t been started, however, Hodges may be your best option. “Hodges is the best place for late night studying

because it’s open all night,” Parrott said. “It’s also way less busy after 12 or one in the morning.” Still, it seems students are rewarded for their efforts of expedition. “Sometimes just moving around and changing environments really helps me get studying done,” Phillips said. “Finding new places is worth it.”

Abortion protesters lack influence As many people saw last week, there was a pro-life group on Pedestrian Walkway protesting abortion. The pro-life presentation was disturbing to many people; images of late-term abortions illegal in the United States were featured in huge displays. The display hurt the protesters more than it helped them, because once many people heard about it or had seen it, they did everything they could to avoid that section of the walkway. All events and activities on Pedestrian Walkway must be approved by a committee and by the university. In order to be approved, the event or activity must be part of student development and student engagement. With that said, shouldn’t there be a line drawn somewhere to separate what is and is not allowed on the walkway? These protesters on Pedestrian had every right to protest and preach their beliefs in public, but did they have a right to display such crude and negative photos like they did? The issue with the photos is that most of the photos they had were of late-term abortions or even abortions done outside of the United States. With so many people turned away by their negativity, the protesters really didn’t get their point across effectively or efficiently. How does protesting abortion affect UT students? Well, the group had been calling out some of the

female students, calling them whores and yelling, telling them they were going to hell. Is that right? As a female UT student, I am appalled that the university would let something like this go on and that the group themselves would do such a thing. Who knows if that was all that was said or done? That is only what I heard them yell out as girls walked by. Where does the student development and engagement come into play? I guess they are being engaged by being called derogatory names. Who knows? But should the university and committee members allow such groups onto our campus? I don’t want to be confusing about what I am trying to say though. The pro-life group had every right to protest their beliefs. They just should not have been allowed to have the crude photos shown in huge displays like they did or take protesting abortion to a whole new level. There should be a line drawn. If the pro-life group had tried to reach out to people and talk to them and then showed the pictures, they would have been much more effective in reaching their goal of educating students on this cruel procedure. — Reagan Weltner is a freshman in political science.

Justifying existence as student G o and Go by

Julia Ross Today, as we anticipate the joys of the Thanksgiving season, many of us are will be reflecting on gratefulness. As a twist on this reflection, I would like for us to consider our motivations to participate in the higher education system, to which we are grateful to have access. Let’s say the student’s goal, for better or for worse, is gainful employment. Look at the motivations of the faculty. Are they incentivized by how many of their students get a job? No, not directly at least. The Venn diagram consists of two distinct circles. No overlapping here. Are they incentivized by how many worthy undergraduates enter a graduate school? No. The tangible incentives that motivate our faculty to be great teachers are offered by their deans and are separate from student incentives. Fortunately, most faculty are incentivized by their vocation as a teacher and offer their very best to students to make them better citizens, better employees and overall better people. Here we see overlapping motivation — students seeking to be the best and professors offering their best to benefit students. We, as students, should be grateful to each of the talented professors who have simply or significantly challenged us, changed our way of thinking, or otherwise aided our development as scholars. Now let’s examine the motivations of an overlooked constituency. Who foots the bill for college education? Some funding comes from students, some from parents, some from private corporations, and a significant portion from Tennessee taxpayers. What are the Venn diagram goals of the state? Where does Tennessee need workers? What problems does Tennessee have that students can solve? Do we lack writers, engineers, or agricultural systems managers? In a larger sense,

graduates of public research universities need to be prepared to help address the myriad of domestic and foreign threats in coming years. During a public television interview, Condoleeza Rice said obesity was a national security concern. Certainly, if one gazes at the heft of our healthcare budget, it is not a leap. The healthcare budget monster will grow 7.5 percent next year, compared with a GDP growth of 2.4 percent, according to a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers study. These problems graduates will face are interdisciplinary and will require leadership, critical thinking and teamwork to solve. Aren’t those the skills that students should be motivated to learn here? Is there room for students to collaborate on theses and capstone projects, and is that kind of collaboration encouraged? It would be interesting for a logistics major and a marketing major to figure out how to get farm fresh food to schools and advertise good eating to combat obesity. In Sumner County, according to a public school dietician, the life expectancy of children is now less than their parents, and these kinds of statistics are not unusual. Transportation issues abound in the Nashville area, so as students at the state’s flagship university, don’t we have the duty to address them? Should middle school teachers heal the problem of college preparedness from its roots? Is pharmacy an overbooked career? Why be a pharmacist if there are too many and a nurse anesthetist is needed? Our graduates want jobs, and the state needs well-qualified workers. So in this month of Thanksgiving, I think it would be worthwhile for all of us to reflect on why we are involved with UT. For students, with the approach of finals, now is the best time to renew our sense of purpose and motivation to succeed. For professors, with the frustrations of Tuesday’s final drop date and the looming task of grading finals, considering what motivates students to take your classes, and if they are receiving what they seek would be worthwhile as well. — Julia Ross is a sophomore in political science and microbiology.

An old saying goes something like this: you can’t judge a book by its cover. You can’t tell what is inside of something without moving past the label, cracking the seal, or perusing the material within. When I chose the title for my column, I searched for two words, just two, that would reflect my personality and way of thinking. I landed with “Pragmatic Ideals.” The two words, “pragmatic” and “ideals,” are so rarely used together that they seemed to fit. I asked myself if I could find a way to live up to the idea of realistic, high expectations and I decided that, yes, I could, because those two words reflect how I choose to let the world see me. One week ago tomorrow, our country reelected President Barack Obama. By now, the votes have been counted, the official results have been made public, and everyone has dealt, or at least begun dealing with, what the next four years will mean for each of us. Pragmatism requires that one is realistic and practical. I believe that our hopes for the four next years should lie almost fully within this realm of pragmatism. What are we really capable of? What resources do we have left at our disposal? It is my hope that the next four years are truly filled with progress. The last four years were filled with our government constantly running over itself, stalemating, and slowing down progress. Outside of politics, the world was changing and the political system was failing to catch up. As we saw in this election, social views are changing, and at a rapid pace. Gay marriage and legalization of marijuana

have swarmed our country. There is no arguing the change in traditional American values currently going on. The mid-20th century saw these kinds of changes, too, but at a much slower pace. It took decades for the Civil Rights movement to gain momentum. The women’s suffrage movement took even longer. It is worth noting that neither of these movements made the United States fall apart. On the contrary, women have made their way into traditionally men-dominated jobs and careers and people of color have the capability to stand on the same level with those who are not. We are a stronger country for it. The fears that so many people held at those times have manifested themselves in some form again today. Same-sex marriage is viewed in the same light as allowing African Americans the right to vote, and many continue to use religious sources to back their “reasoning” for allowing such discrimination. I wonder what a generation or two from now will think when they look back at these years. Will they find it completely unbelievable that so many people were not allowed to marry those they love? Will they laugh at our legalization of marijuana just like we do at the Prohibition that occurred at the turn of the 20th century or will they applaud our ability to see our weaknesses and praise how we overcame these hurdles? I hold onto the hope that our country will shape itself and move forward in more positive directions in these next years. This may make me an idealist, but I am trying my hardest to remain pragmatic about this wonderful country of ours. The past has shown how able we are to overcome these hardships. It takes unity to make change happen, but we are the United States, after all. — Kayla Graham is a senior in English literature. She can be reached at kgraham7@utk.edu.

Rock ’n’ roll legend plays Bijou Liv McConnell Staff Writer Lindsey Buckingham, renowned guitarist and male lead singer of Fleetwood Mac, will perform at 8 p.m. tonight at the Bijou Theatre. Buckingham, whose signature fingerpicking style has earned him a place on Rolling Stone’s list of most influential guitarists, is touring in promotion of his new album, “ L i n d s e y Buckingham: One Man Show,” set for release this Tuesday. His first ever solo acoustic album, “One Man Show” features recordings from a live performance in Des Moines, Iowa, where Buckingham played songs from his former Fleetwood Mac heyday, including “Never Going Back Again” and “Go Your Own Way.” Both the tour and creation of the album were envisioned by Buckingham as a means of trying something he isn’t typically accustomed to in his lengthy and highly artisticallyacclaimed musical career. “I just wanted to go up there and see if a solo show would work,” he told Rolling Stone. “Obviously going up and doing ‘Big Love’ or ‘Never Going Back Again’ or some of these other

influential front-women of all time — confirmed the speculation in an appearance on the CBS show, “This Morning.” “It’s the plan,” Nicks said of the future tour. “Because that’s what we do. I do my thing, and Lindsey’s out doing his thing.” Buckingham has even propagated rumors of a possible album to be recorded by himself, Nicks, and Fleetwood Mac originals Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christie McVie. “Nothing is on the books right now,” he told Rolling Stone. “With Fleetwood Mac, there’s a lot of landmines out there politically and it’s hard to get everybody on the same page at the same time — but I think this might be one of those years where everyone will want to do the same thing.” In the meantime, Buckingham will pay tribute to many of his favored selections from the group’s inimitable musical past with his solo • Photo courtesy of Lindsey Buckingham act.

Melodi Erdogan Staff Writer The UT Opera Theatre premiered the Italian opera “La Boheme” at the Ula Love Doughty Carousel Theatre on Friday. “La Boheme,” a four act opera written by Giacomo Puccini, takes place in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the late 1800s. Revolving around the relationship of Rodolfo, a poor poet, and Mimi, a seamstress, the story follows these two lovers and their friends in embracing the Bohemian lifestyle, when artists would go against the status quo to fully express themselves. The Opera Theatre’s version, directed by James Marvel, displays the artist’s defiance of society’s boundaries and proves that romance can exist within poverty. The direction and production of the performance remained true the story; if any part had been left out or done differently, the emotional effect would not have been the same. Throughout the play, each action and musical note became more important as the story developed. The play began with a light mood, with Rodolfo and his friends making jokes and jabs at each other, but as the storyline progressed the actors created a dimension to the written lyrics that became fluid with the music. By Act II, the foundation of the opera had been set, leading to heightened emotions and anticipation for what would happen next. The only interruption was the short intermission,

which created an impatient audience waiting to see and hear more. The cast is changed around for every performance, but for good reason. Two hours long, the opera can be vocally straining, so a changing cast is understandable, said Erin Sherwin, freshman in biological sciences. “I didn’t really know what to expect with the singing, but it’s really good,” Sherwin said. “The fact that they change the cast for every performance is probably for the best since the songs are such vocally demanding pieces.” The Carousel Theatre provided the supreme backdrop for the opera. Small, comfortable seating was designed around the center of the room, where the cast and chorus could walk, and the stage, where most of the set was. The live orchestra, comprised of 25 musicians and conducted by Kevin Class, resided behind the set. Although barely visible due to the set design, the music’s presence was tremendous and truly elevated the story and made it a great performance. Angela Sipaseuth, sophomore in chemistry, said that she liked the personality of the characters and the music, but would have changed the place of the orchestra. “I can’t really see them from the angle I’m sitting at,” Sipaseuth said. “I think if they were actually visible and the audience actually saw them, that would be really cool.” “La Boheme” will have its last showing Monday night at 8 p.m. in the Carousel Theatre.

Soccer season ends in overtime Martin sparks Troy Provost-Heron Staff Writer Nine seconds away from victory. That’s how close the Lady Vols were to advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, but now their season is over. With victory all but in sight, the Lady Vols watched a one goal lead slip away as Miami (OH) sophomore midfielder Kelsey Dinges scored an equalizer goal with nine seconds remaining to force overtime, where the Redhawks would advance on the goal by junior midfielder Kayla Zakrzewski. As head coach Brian Pensky stated, this will be a game that hurts himself as well as the players. “I just told the kids that we’re sorry,” Pensky said. “Our wound is pretty open right now. Our kids are hurting, especially our kids that don’t get to do this any longer as seniors. We’re also in shock. You don’t give away a goal with nine seconds left all that often. I still don’t think that when we went into overtime that we imagined ourselves losing this game. I’d say we’re shocked and we’re hurting right now.” While the equalizer goal must have come as a surprise to the Lady Vols, junior midfielder Tori

Bailey said that the goal didn’t bring the team down. “I think we took that goal and used it towards our energy,” Bailey said. “It kinda pissed us off more than it brought us down. We didn’t imagine going into overtime, so I think if anything that was a little disappointing, but we were pretty positive

and still had energy going into overtime.” Bailey also stated that she was surprised they didn’t win based on how much they dominated time of possession, especially in overtime where they had two corner kicks in the first three minutes. “I still don’t think it’s hit me yet, to tell you the truth,” Bailey said. “I feel

like we had pretty good possession the whole game and we had the ball the whole game and I think we had more shots on goal and crosses, but that’s the game of soccer, you can have many opportunities but you just gotta get one to go in and they got lucky today.” Even in the midst of celebrating with his team, Redhawks head coach Bobby Kramig had nothing but praise for the Lady Vols and the way they played. “I would first congratulate Tennessee on an outstanding season,” Kramig said. “They are without question the best team we’ve seen all year. They certainly came prepared to do battle today. It was quite a test.” For senior defender Ali Hall, this defeat means that she has played her last game in a Tennessee uniform along with her other senior teammates. “I’m hurting obviously, but I’m really lucky to play with these girls,” Hall said. “I'm kinda thinking about what’s going to happen after this in my life and everything, but I’m just soaking it in right now.” The loss ends the Lady Vols’ season at 14-5-3. The Redhawks will move on to play the Duke Blue Devils in the second round of the tournament.

student interest as basketball season begins

File Photo • The Daily Beacon

Lauren Kittrell Sports Editor Football season is winding down, but Tennessee basketball has only just begun. Volunteer fans, and students in particular, are excited to see where their team will take them. With several returning starters, the Vols just might have what it takes to keep young fans coming back for more. Last week, head coach Cuonzo Martin invited students to support the team during practice on Thursday. Of the attendees, Zach Pudelek, an accounting senior, said that he’s excited to see the team progress from last year, specifically in the SEC. “I’m excited about any SEC game,” Pudelek said. “It’s gonna be interesting to see how good Kentucky is this year without having any returning starters, so I think we have a good chance against them, even though they’re supposed to be pretty good. I think we have a good chance of winning the SEC, to be honest. We have a lot of returning starters.” David Maye, an undecided freshman, said he’s hoping basketball will help alleviate some of the disappointment from the Vols’ current football record. He was happy to see the basketball team working on technique. “I’m glad to see they’re doing a lot of defensive drills,”

Maye said. “I think we have a lot of offensive talent, but where we’re gonna win games is if we step up on defense. We’ve been kinda weak there the last couple years.” The drills seem to be paying off with the team’s early exhibition win and a win in the season opener on Friday. Pudelek and Maye agreed that Martin’s coaching style seems to have had a positive effect on the team. “I’ve liked everything I’ve heard about him,” Maye said. “Everything I’ve read and what he says as well. I like his attitude. I think he’s done a good job with what he had to work with last year.” Pudelek said Martin’s quiet personality was a big change from previous head coach Bruce Pearl, but agreed that Martin’s persona might be the determining factor in the team’s success. He said he was more concerned about Martin’s character than his experience on the court. “That’s not what makes you a good coach,” Pudelek said. “What makes you a good coach, we’re about to find out.” Maye said he’s excited to watch sophomore forward Jarnell Stokes as he develops on the court. While Maye said he found senior guard Skylar McBee entertaining on the floor, Stokes peaked his interest. “I’m excited to watch Jarnell Stokes, especially since he was one of our best players last year and he’s so young,” Maye said. “I think he has a lot of potential.” Other than a few tweaks here and there (Pudelek wasn’t excited about the men’s “power T” warmups and Maye thought McBee’s choice of facial hair was a little on the creepy side), Pudelek and Maye were positive overall about the team’s upcoming season. Being able to be a part of the team’s practice and seeing a little more inside the team’s routine is something both fans were excited to see repeated. “I wish they’d do it more,” Maye said. “It’d be fun to come to practices more often.”

Lady Vols’ shaky start Lauren Kittrell Sports Editor

Matthew DeMaria • The Daily Beacon

Holly Warlick watches the pre-season opener against Carson-Newman on Nov. 1.

Former Lady Vol head coach Pat Summitt sat in the stands, watching as her coaching era ended with a loss. The program she worked so hard to build wasn’t able to win without her. The team lost 80-71 to Chattanooga on Friday. That, in and of itself, is shocking enough, but there’s more. The team is 25-7 overall against the Lady Mocs and 82 when playing away, but the team hasn’t lost to Chattanooga since 1973. That’s 39 years. This means Summitt had never lost a game to Chattanooga. From the year

Summitt came on staff to the year she stepped down, the Lady Vols had gone 19-0 over Chattanooga. In her first regular season game, Lady Vol head coach Holly Warlick wasn’t able to pull the team together in time to save the team’s winning streak. The disappointment is apparent, but no one seems to question whether Warlick is right for the job. In an earlier press conference, Warlick said she had never coached a game and she didn’t know how she’d do as a coach, but her fans, her friends and more importantly her players had faith that she was the only person who could step into Summitt’s shoes with any authority. To Lady Vols fans, coaches and players, the loss was an unexpected bump in a road that leads to victory. It’s rare to find a team with a fan base (including assistant coachers and players) supportive of their coach’s decisions and leadership, especially in the SEC.

But the Lady Vols are a unique set of individuals. They’re supportive, they’re excitable and they’re faithful. Whether they’re donning “We Back Pat” shirts, flooding into Thompson-Boling Arena for an exhibition game or just discussing basketball by the water cooler at work, Lady Vols supporters have taken on a role they hadn’t sought. They’re an example to every sports fan, critic, player or coach in the nation. The negative vibes pulsing throughout the country based on wins and/or losses is overpowering. It takes strength to say something positive about a coach who hasn’t lived up to the high standards set before them. Regardless of whether a team wins or loses, whether the coach makes bad decisions or makes the gamewinning call, sports fans would do well to take a page from the Lady Vols fan book and support the men and women who lead the teams they love.

Missouri seals Derek Dooley’s fate at Tennessee

Austin Bornheim Assistant Sports Editor As the 25-yard kick from Andrew Baggett sailed through the uprights Saturday, it not only sealed the outcome of the football game but also the fate of head coach Derek Dooley. The question is no longer if, but when. There have been too many things that have gone wrong in the last three seasons and not enough upside for the university to retain Dooley. Yes, he inherited a program that was in bad shape. Yes, he’s done a good job in recruiting. Yes, he’s brought stability back to Knoxville, but the bad far outweighs the good. After three seasons, the Vols still have personnel issues at least once a game. There is no excuse for the players to not know when they should and shouldn’t be on the field after this long. Sure, there is a new defensive scheme this year and maybe there is a mistake during the play, but to not know if you should be on the field for a certain play is inexcusable and that blame falls on the coaching. Tennessee has had some tough games where it seems like everything is going against them, but there have been just as many where the Vols have let the game slip through their fingers. Saturday’s game is a prime example of the latter. The Vols contained Mizzou to just 64 yards of total offense in the first half. It was the best the defense had played all season, hands down. But in the second half, the defense fell apart. Postgame, linebacker A.J. Johnson said that Missouri just “made plays.” Yes, the Tigers did make some nice plays but the Missouri coaching staff simply out-coached the Tennessee staff. They made the right calls and exploited the Tennessee defense over and over in the second half and the Vols had no answers. This isn’t a new problem either. Tennessee was leading Florida at the half and was tied with Mississippi State going into the locker room, and lost both. Then there is the SEC record. In 22 SEC games,

Dooley is 4-18. If you exclude Missouri and Texas A&M because this is the first year they are in the conference, the Vols are tenth out of twelve in the SEC. The two teams below the Vols are Kentucky and Ole Miss. Kentucky is 4-19, so they have the same amount of wins but have played one more SEC game already this year than the Volunteers. Ole Miss is 3-19. The Vols are two wins away from having 800 wins in the program’s history, something only seven other schools have done. But over the past three years, Tennessee has crumbled not only as an SEC powerhouse, but also on the national scene. With all that said, I like the guy. I won’t claim to know him well because I don’t know his character outside of the realm of football. He is personable, a good interviewee and answers questions as fully as you’d expect an SEC coach to answer them. He just hasn’t gotten it done. It’s as simple as that. Tennessee expects to be the best, and under Dooley the team isn’t getting any closer to reaching that goal. With that said, the orange pants are not going to grace the sidelines of Neyland Stadium after this season.

Luke Tamburin

Staff Writer

David Cobb Assistant News Editor Tennessee’s season-long defensive woes took a rest in the first half on Saturday before reemerging to plague the Vols down the stretch in a 51-48 overtime loss to Missouri. Offensively, though, the Vols remained potent — like they have been all year — racking up 585 yards, marking the sixth time the Tyler Bray-led group has posted 500 or more this year. Bray’s 404 passing yards gave him enough to surpass the 3,000 mark for the year, a threshold which only Peyton Manning — twice — and Erik Ainge have previously reached in UT history. But he wasn’t the only Vol that got to sling the pigskin Saturday. On UT’s first quarter scoring drive, Cordarrelle Patterson took a pitch and proceeded to toss 28 yards to tight end Mychal Rivera. The play set up a Patterson touchdown run that put UT ahead 7-0. “Coach (Dooley) had called the play and I knew that I just had to throw it if I saw anyone

open,” Patterson said. “I think I just underthrew him a little so he couldn’t score.” The versatility wasn’t limited exclusively to Patterson. Linebacker A.J. Johnson also got in on the action offensively. He scored his fifth touchdown of the season in the second quarter when he barreled into the end zone from three yards out to cap a drive that was started by a Prentiss Waggner interception. Unfortunately for Johnson and the Vols, the second half and overtime told a different story, as the Vols allotted Mizzou 390 yards after holding them to 64 in the first half. “We came out knowing our calls and running them to a ‘T,’” Johnson said. “In the second half, we came out running the same calls. They just made plays on us.” Tennessee wasn’t without its share of plays as well. Justin Hunter and Rivera combined for 270 receiving yards on 19 grabs, but the duo wasn’t concerned with statistics following the loss. “It stings a lot,” said Rivera, who corralled a career high 10 receptions. “We really worked

hard this week. We really wanted to win this game. Things just didn’t go our way.” “It was really tough,” Hunter said. “We wanted to help our defense and the game as fast as we could. I guess Missouri did something really special to keep us off the field.” On Tennessee’s final offensive possession before Andrew Baggett’s game-clinching field goal in the fourth overtime, it was a series of three consecutive pass breakups that got Bray and the offense off the field. The last play of that series stemmed from a decision by head coach Derek Dooley to attempt to convert a fourth-and-three. Bray’s pass intended for Zach Rogers was broken up just past the first down marker. “Coach was in between, and as the offense we want the ball in our hands,” Bray said. “We begged him to let us have the ball and we just didn’t make the play. “That last play, I’d like to have it back,” Bray continued. “I would not have taken so long to throw it. We had the guy and I thought I saw different coverage than what they were playing. “I just held onto it too long.”
