The Big Orange Orchard project recently planted its first roots in Knoxville soil.

Volunteers from Ignite Serves, a five day leadership program for incoming freshman, toiled in the early morning of Thursday, Aug. 14, to prepare a potential plotting site for the Big Orange Orchard at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens.

Disposing of weeds and clearing topsoil, the freshmen volunteers completed the three-day groundbreaking event to transform the innovative Big Orange Orchard project into a reality.

Although liability and financial issues have prevented any planting from beginning on campus, the project has made headway in the past year after the Big Orange Orchard resolution was passed by the Student Senate last spring.

“It’s really just an initiative to continue with sustainable practices at UT,” said Julianna Burchett, senior in environment science who supported the project when she served last year as a senator for the College of Arts and Sciences.

Stressing the importance of incorporating fruit bearing plants on campus, Burchett said she plans to oversee the garden’s growth as chair of the Environment and Sustainability Committee.

As the campus continues to develop, Burchett said she “would always rather see more trees, plants and greenspace than concrete.”

Although the produce to be planted in the garden has not been decided, Chris Weller, a 2013 UT graduate and one of the original minds behind the Big Orange Orchard project, maintained that preference will be given to native species such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. A myriad of herbs that could act as natural pesticides will also be considered.

While the fate of the produce itself will largely depend on its location, Weller said ideas for the harvest include giving the food to campus dining or allowing students the privilege of eating “right off the bush.”

Fred D. Brown Jr., the hall’s namesake, was the first black teacher at Oak Ridge High School shortly after its integration and served as a member on the Alcoa Board of Education. Brown was a longtime UT staff member fundamental in forming the Office of Diversity Programs and recruiting students from underrepresented groups to the College of Engineering.

After two years of labor and $59 million contributed to construction, Fred D. Brown Jr. Residence Hall has opened its doors to 682 student residents this fall. Brown has been lauded as the fastest construction project completed to date, as well as one of the most technologically advanced buildings on campus.

The landscape of college athletics is rapidly evolving, and athletic programs like UT’s could stand to benefit.

The NCAA Division I Board of Directors voted 16-2 August 8 to allow schools in the Power Five conferences — the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference — to enact many of their own rules.

The autonomy given to the Power Five will allow each league to decide on guidelines such as cost-of-attendance stipends, insurance benefits for players, staff sizes, recruiting rules and mandatory hours spent on individual sports. Power Five conferences will also carry more voting power on NCAA matters in general. “(The) vote by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors to support the autonomy proposals of the five equity conferences represents a cornerstone in the evolution of NCAA governance,” said Dave Hart, vice chancellor and director of athletics.

“We are an athletics program that is centered around our student-athletes,” Hart said. “In order to further prioritize the focus on authorized benefits for student athletes, such as the full cost of attendance, this step was essential.”

Representatives from each of the five leagues will comprise a new 80 member voting panel to include 15 current players, three from each conference. This panel will determine autonomous policies for the five leagues.

Athletics directors will enjoy greater representation than before, as university presidents previously controlled the system.

The first change likely to be implemented among the Power Five conferences is a cost-ofattendance stipend. Students who receive athletic scholarships still pay an average of $2,000- $5,000 per year that accounts for various expenses. A cost-of-attendance stipend would cover those extra expenses for some or all student athletes.

DISPATCHES Protests over 18-year-old man’s death in Ferguson, Missouri

Don Pardo, ‘SNL’ announcer, dies at 96

Liberian Ebola clinic attacked, raided

Israel, Palestine still can’t maintain ceasefire

Michael Brown, an unarmed, black, soon-to-be-college student, was shot and killed by a white, 28-year-old police officer after a struggle Saturday, Aug. 9.

Though an early report suggested Brown as the aggressor, several eyewitnesses have disputed these claims. The shooting has sparked waves of protests, violence (including Molotov cocktails and gunfire) and looting in Ferguson. To quell the chaos, the National Guard has gotten involved, but high tempers and confusion about the way things are being handled have led to more arrests, including controversial arrests of journalists reporting on the situation.

Perhaps the most iconic component of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” Don Pardo voiced thousands of introductions to the live, sketch-comedy show over the course of 39 seasons. He was also the NBC announcer when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.

Pardo is the third in a recent slew of celebrity deaths, following actor Robin Williams and actress Lauren Bacall.

Current and former cast members have tweeted their regrets and admiration for Pardo, including Rachel Dratch who said he “represented a dream come true.” It won’t quite be Saturday night without him.

Residents of the West Point slum in Monrovia, Liberia, looted the clinic, which housed up to 30 patients, because of anger the disease was being brought to the slum from other parts of Monrovia.

The patients fled while the attackers stole medical equipment and bloodstained mattresses. This is the latest of scary incidents involving Ebola, a deadly virus spread by bodily fluids which culminates in internal bleeding and organ failure.

The World Health Organization also announced yesterday the Ebola-related death toll in West Africa had topped 1,200.

The Gaza Strip continues to be the sight of concentrated violence as Israel launched airstrikes Tuesday in response to rocket fire from Palestinian extremist group Hamas, effectively ending the six-day ceasefire. Peace talks had been in place involving Egypt, Israel and Hamas, who wants an end to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza. Thus far in the conflict, almost 2,000 Palestinians and 60 Israelis have been killed, with the Palestinian number including 1,417 civilians and 459 children, according to the U.N.

POWER 5 continued from Page 1 Second-year UT football head coach, Butch Jones, said he supports any measure beneficial to student athletes.

“Anything that we can (do to) take care of our student athletes and provide for them the things that they need to be successful, not only on the field but off the field, I’m in favor of it,” Jones said August 11. “It’s all about the welfare and total development and

Cuevas said the bar tables placed in each area create an “internet café feel.”

According to Cuevas, the design of the building focuses on energy efficiency, while emphasizing students’ needs and safety.

“We wanted to bring in a lot of natural sunlight and you can see these windows do that, but if it gets too hot there are screens that drop that will let you see through and provides some shade and protection,” Cuevas said. “On every floor there will be a television monitor that will say what’s going on in the building and on

Despite legal liability issues concerning the

safety of the produce grown in garden areas, Brown continues to stress the necessity of such a program. He said he believes modern eating habits have created populations that are “disconnected from their food.”

Ultimately, Brown expressed hope the Big Orange Orchard will revolutionize food consumption on campus by embracing a “new take on how to landscape,” stressing plant usefulness in combination with aesthetics.

benefit of the student athlete, so anything that is within reason I am all for.”

Other guidelines the Power Five could enact include relaxed restrictions between player and agent contact, allowing players to pursue privileges like paid career opportunities and paid expenses for their families to attend postseason games.

Postseason tournaments, transfer policies, scholarship limits, signing day and rules governing on-field play will remain under NCAA jurisdiction.

Although leagues outside the Power Five can choose to adopt the same rules, many smaller Division I schools won’t be able to afford measures like cost-of-attendance stipends.

Granting autonomy to already powerful leagues is a concern because it could create a larger competitive imbalance between the Power Five and smaller leagues, such as the Sun Belt, MAC or even conferences in the Football Championship Subdivision.

campus, and in case of emergency it will override like an alert system and that will be in the common areas.”

Freshman in economics Margaret Draper said she is astounded at all her new dorm room has to offer.

“This is so much nicer than I thought I would ever get to live in,” Draper said.

“My dorm has two full-size beds and my room can be configured in lots of different ways — everything is movable. Under the bed is a dresser and the bed goes up and down so you can move the dresser. It’s very homey.”

Draper said her decision to live in Brown Hall was an easy one.

“My (track) coach told me this was the best dorm to live in,” Draper said. “I love how open it is and with all the windows it doesn’t even feel like a dorm, it could be an apartment complex. I love that I’m one of the first people to get to live here.”

Cuevas said he hopes by creating more accommodating campus living spaces, UT residence halls will attract a wider variety of students.

“I think when you look at what we offer and the amenities they’re getting, it will certainly appeal to all ages,” Cuevas said. “When you have intergenerational housing — freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors living together — it has a ripple effect of a more vibrant campus community.”

Cuevas said the demand to fill Fred D. Brown Jr. Hall was high, and the hall’s population comprises students enrolled in the Chancellor’s Honors Program and students who applied early for housing.

“We’re excited to be opening this building and welcoming our students,” Cuevas said. “This is a great time to be at the University of Tennessee.”

It’s all about you, or at least it should be Sacred and the City by

Merry-Reid Sheffer “Later that night, I got to thinking about days gone by. That carefree time when our schedules were as wide open as our hearts. The time before the baggage and breakups and babies began to weigh us all down. I couldn’t help but wonder: Does that sense of adventure still flicker inside of us? Or when it comes to being carefree single girls, have we missed the boat?” [Sex and the City, Season 5, Episode 1, “Anchors Away”] Picture this: an evening soirée on a naval ship with dim lighting and handsome men in pristine white uniforms. Carrie Bradshaw sits on the stairs staring into the eyes of a beautiful, racially ambiguous man, Louis from Louisiana, with the Southern twang of a British man doing his best to sound Southern. Could the scene be any more enchanting? No, it could not. But, of course, the gorgeous man says something negative about New York City and Carrie is off, prancing through the picturesque streets of NYC at night.

Her discovery in this episode is actually substantial, despite my frustration that she is constantly walking the streets of New York at night in $400 dollar shoes and only gets mugged once in all six seasons.

Throughout the 30 minutes of fabulousness, Carrie explores the streets she has fallen in love with and struggles with the realization she’s no longer excited to hit the parties popping up during Fleet Week, when American sailors dock in the city and get to run free for a few nights. She finds, though the opportunities are attractive, those days may be over for her.

She begins to ponder her love of being alone in a big city, even though society tells her being alone is for old spinsters and single mothers like her best friend, Miranda. I couldn’t help but wonder, what is our motivation for filling so many hours with invitations and strangers in a crowd?

My friends and I typically go out every Friday and Saturday night, schedules permitting, as I’m sure many of you do. We put on our best clothes, play the most motivating music we can find and discern from the texts of early partygoers which of our engagements are ranked of highest importance and which need a little more time to develop. Some of us are looking for a relationship, some for hookups, some to get over relationships, some to impress a crowd and some, like myself, in hopes of heading to Taco Bell after all is said and done.

Other than bonding time with my friends, I often leave these outings feeling the same amount of fullness/emptiness I started the night with -- I haven’t been changed at all. I’ve been falling in love with the thrill, with the attention, with the prospect of being admired by others.

We are falling in love with all the wrong things.

Love your dreams, your home and yourself and you will find it easier to love creation, regardless of who you see as the creator. Good things spring from praising what you’ve been given.

Sometimes praising what you’ve been given means wearing your favorite outfit, blasting your favorite song and skipping the invitations in order to take that special someone straight to Taco Bell: yourself.

Age is our investing ally City Cents by

Jonathan Martin There are a few things which instantly bring to mind overwhelming fear and uncertainty: missing a final exam, running late for work and losing my Wi-Fi connection on Netflix.

But there’s one scenario which never fails to put me in a state of unease: the stock market.

Most of us know, especially in this postrecession world, the stock market can be a very volatile place, filled with uncertainty and despair. After the drop in 2008, the whole world was negatively affected, some people more than others.

So why would we care to even consider investing money in an unreliable system?

After all, most of us are young and likely haven’t purchased shares of a company or conducted stop-loss orders.

However, this line of thinking is completely backward.

Age should not be seen as a limiting factor, but as one of our greatest allies.

We should cherish how far we are from

scenario suddenly isn’t so bad after all.

Now, am I advocating for everyone to go throw their money at a stock and hope for the best? No, please don’t. Don’t bet the ranch, and don’t treat the market like a slot machine at a Vegas Casino, hoping for the best. After all, there are some weeks where I feel like I won’t have any money to pay utilities, much less invest it in any security.

There are also some people who never want to enter the world of investing, and that’s fine too. But even if the only investment you ever make is a retirement fund handled by an experienced broker, having a basic sense of the system is essential to staying in control of your money.

At the very least, you’ll gain insight into an industry largely untapped by young adults, who can actually afford the most risk. In fact, that focus doesn’t have to involve purchasing anything at all. Simply learning about the way markets work can put us in a fantastic spot later in life, when we do have a job that pays a little extra.

So who knows? Maybe, one day, we’ll feel a little more comfortable with stocks.

Maybe we’ll wake up and realize our list of fears is just a little bit smaller.

A good kind of selfish Scarlett’s Point by

Scarlett Miles College is a great time to be selfish.

It’s our time to focus on ourselves and do what makes us happy. It’s our time to excel, try new things and explore. It’s our time to mess up and make mistakes, to figure out what works and what doesn’t. College is the time for us to have millions of things on our checklist we want to do, and it’s the perfect opportunity to check them off.

Yet, we let the smallest, most minuscule, unimportant things get in the way of our big picture. They get in the way of our ability to see who we can become. They get in the way of us becoming who we are able to be.

Well, isn’t it true big lights will inspire you?

My recent trip to New York opened my eyes. It’s funny how being in a different city can do that. Sometimes when we stay in one place for so long, we start to feel trapped. Like we’ll never escape or never see and do bigger and better things. Not that I don’t love home, but we need a change of pace in order to be inspired or see what we are capable of.

retirement. We have time to make mistakes and take risks without jeopardizing our long-term goals. Someone who is five years away from collecting Social Security certainly doesn’t have the luxuries we have. An older investor also doesn’t have the years of compound interest we have.

We all want to retire with enough money to live on, and we don’t have to wait until we are thirty to start planning.

For those who are interested in investing, there are three scenarios. The bestcase scenario is your money is compounded exponentially, a perk of capitalizing on a company’s value early. This might even include paid dividends, which you could keep in your pocket or simply re-invest.

A more likely scenario involves taking a bearish approach to the markets and your money retaining its value, as if you simply put it into your savings account, if not better.

Worst-case scenario? Your investments depreciate. But, as I said, what better time to learn from mistakes and gain such experience? Most college students don’t have a 50-year-old savings account on the line. Most don’t have a house and a family to provide for yet. Most aren’t going to be investing such large amounts of money they can’t recover before their retirement.

Considering these factors, the worst-case

to us. We can’t wait for people to decide we’re worth their time or for the right time to do something spectacular.

I don’t want to wait for the “right time” to better myself or my life. We can’t always wait until we’re “ready.” Some of the best things happen before we are truly ready for them.

Taking chances and trying things, that’s what makes us more than the person we are right now.

I’ve found myself in a rut lately. I’ve been stuck wondering if I’m good enough for certain people. I’ve found myself wondering, “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?” I’m done putting off everything I want to accomplish over these next few years. I’m done waiting around to be “ready” to do big things. I’m going to make my sophomore year my year of accomplishments, bettering myself, checking things off my checklist, building my resumé and making fabulous memories.

Freshman year was my year of growth. I came out of my shell, and left my comfort zone, because that’s what college is for. That’s what this crazy wonderful time in our life is for. Summer made me realize I have so much more growing to do and there is so much left for me to accomplish: things I was meant to do, things who will make me who I’m meant to be.

Let me tell you something, no one is going

to tell you who you are. No one can tell you who you are supposed to be. And no one’s opinion of you truly matters as long as you are striving to be the most amazing you that you are capable of being.

So, make a checklist of things you want to accomplish this year, clubs you want to join, things you want to do and see, positions you want to apply for, books you want to read, things you’ve never done before and fears you want to conquer. Fill it up with things that will help you become a better you, which will allow you to focus on yourself and everything you are capable of. You’re capable of so much, and no one’s feelings toward you or opinions of you are going to change this.

We allow so many little things to skew our opinions of ourselves and our ability to see all we are capable of doing. But if we’d take some time to focus on ourselves, some time to do the things we’ve been thinking of doing but it hasn’t been the “right time,” and we haven’t been “ready,” those people and their opinions won’t matter. We’re finding out who we are, and that’s exactly what we should be doing.

Life is just one big adventure, so I’m going to make it a good one.

Knoxville farmers markets booming Jenna Butz Arts & Culture Editor

UT Farmers Market

Knoxville has a legacy of supporting its own, and this is most clearly displayed in the widespread popularity of local farmers markets. Local and regional farmers, artisans, bakers and food vendors offer their goods to the people of Knoxville for the majority of the year in various locations.

Founded in 1976, this market is hosted by the East Tennessee Farmers Association for Retail Marketing, which works to give small farmers and gardeners a retail outlet for their products, as found on the market’s website. The market provides jellies and jams, flowering plants and specialty cheeses in addition to the typical seasonal fruits and vegetables found at most farmers markets.

The Knoxville Farmers Market takes place Tuesdays at Ebenezer United Methodist Church and Fridays at Lakeshore Park from 3-6 p.m.

Established in 2011, this is the closest market for UT students and includes not only local produce but also bakeries, food vendors and soap crafters.

Sallie Martin, the market manager for the 2014 season, views the market as an experience to both connect and educate. “Coming to the market is a very personal experience because of our smaller size,� Martin said. “You are able to talk and learn about and from the vendors and are able to really understand just what exactly goes into growing our food.

Students can also see the enormous influence UT has on the agriculture in our region and also all over our state. It definitely helps connect the university students with the greater Knoxville area and community.�

The UT Farmers Market is held Wednesdays from 4-7 p.m. in the UT Gardens.

Knoxville Farmers Market

Local farmers offer home grown produce, personality at various locations A smaller market down the road from campus, this market focuses on educating the community on the benefit of buying top quality local products as well as strengthening the local market community, according to the market’s website. It believes the concept of buying from your neighbors gives local vendors an opportunity to sell their products and encourages direct interaction between families and farmers. Family-oriented, the Dixie Lee Farmers Market works to promote healthy lifestyles, strengthen local commerce, introduce children to environmental interactions and preserve and celebrate the agricultural traditions of the East Tennessee Valley.

The Dixie Lee Farmers Market meets Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 12740 Kingston Pike.

In its tenth season, the most popular market in Knoxville boasts goods exclusively grown and crafted by East Tennessee vendors. Shoppers can find eggs, herbs, freerange meats, coffee and everything in-between. Local restaurants and food trucks also set up shop in addition to the occasional live entertainer.

Charlotte Tolley, director of the Market Square Farmers Market, said she sees the market’s uniqueness in not only its range of goods, but in the community meeting as well. “A farmers market is a wonderful way to connect with one’s community,� Tolley said. “Since we are a producer-only market, [it] is a singularly Knoxville experience, where you can find products made and grown right here in our community.�

The Market Square Farmers Market meets every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Market Square.

ARTS & CULTURE While it is unrealistic to Emma Evans expect a film to match its Contributor literary counterpart, the changes made to the original plot cheapened the story’s progression. It seems as The latest dystopian film, if unnecessary scenes were “The Giver” begins “from added just to lengthen the the ashes of ruin, commu- film. nities were built, protected by the boundary.”

The film, based on the novel by Lois Lowry, tells the story of Jonas, a boy given a special job The Giver in a futuristic society.

Cast: Brenton Thwaites, Jeff However, when his job Bridges sheds a negative light on the “perfect” world Director: Phillip Noyce around him, he must determine what is truly Genre: Drama, Sci-fi right and wrong.

Many people have Rating: PG-13 long awaited the movie adaptation of this young adult novel. However, the film may prove a disappointment for readers and movie-goers alike.

In addition, the movie tries too hard to incorporate action sequences. Even those who have not read the novel should agree these sequences pale in comparison to similar titles like “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent.”

Despite these flaws, the movie has an allstar cast, a tremendous asset to the film.

Meryl Streep is perfect for her role as the cold villain, Chief Elder. Her expressions and calm demeanor spotlight the ominous qualities of her character.

Furthermore, actor Jeff Bridges successfully embodies his role as The Giver, reminding the audience to appreciate the ups and downs of life through dialogue with Jonas and Chief Elder.

The film also gives the audience a refreshing look at a new face in the movie industry. “The Giver” serves as the breakout role for Australian actor Brenton Thwaites. Starring as Jonas, Thwaites’ interpretation of the role creates a relatable character for the audience.

His displays of emotion throughout the film encourage the audience to consider how they respond to their surroundings.

Even with an award-winning cast, the combination of plot changes and unnecessary action make “The Giver” another disappointing book-to-movie transition. One thing is for sure: this adaptation is best left for Netflix.

Remember Robin Williams and smile

Kendall Thompson Contributor

love and appreciate poetry. I didn’t know he warmed the hearts of thousands of soldiers in Vietnam every morning. I never realized he was funniest in his own skin with nothing more than a few feet of stage between him and the audience.

There were quite a few things I didn’t know about the master comedian when I overheard the news of his death at work, read aloud from an article on Facebook. I remember staring at the speaker blankly, asking him to repeat the impossible sentence. Dead.

Alleged Suicide. Asphyxiation.

Depression.

I didn’t really know Robin Williams. I never met him in person. But it was as though the world lost a friend. His every day presence wasn’t expected, but the sudden realization of his absence was devastating. Why did he do this? How could he leave us so soon? Then: did he not realize how much we loved him? We can ask the questions and pull hidden meanings from his wonderful works. In the end, though, no one really knows the truth. That’s the thing about depression: it’s a complex disease, always evading logic. Try as we might, we cannot understand.

Although we grieve this loss, I don’t think he would want us to cry. The man devoted his life to making other people laugh. His quick energy and bubbly personality left so many speechless from awe and utterly breathless. I think Robin Williams would rather we remember him the best way we can: by sitting together, watching his work and laughing.

In the seemingly dark and destructive world we live in, laughter can be hard to come by. We cherish those moments when they come, leaving a kind of light in their wake.

Laughter can be a cleansing, uplifting and wonderful distraction from the problems that skirt around the back of our minds. No one knew this better than the late Robin Williams.

When I first met Robin Williams, he was blue, friendly and optimistic, despite being forced to live in a small golden lamp and grant wishes for strangers. He was a voice of reason. And, above all, the wise-cracking Genie was a friend to Aladdin, who spent his life being chased by soldiers and dodging degrading insults from his neighbors.

I continued my acquaintance with Williams multiple times through the years. Sometimes he was a scientist, sometimes a cross-dressing divorcee, a physician or a doctor. He was a man of many faces, but the sparkle in his eyes remained the same. I grew up with his smile and those eyes dancing across movie screens.

I must admit, through the years, I didn’t keep up with this larger-than-life man. I watched him helplessly battle through an unfortunate RV trip and fall hopelessly in Kendall Thompson is a love with Sacajawea, but I sophomore in advertising.

Swingbooty with Oroboro Saturday, August 23 9:00 p.m. @ the Birdhouse Swingbooty, an ever-evolving Knoxville band, plays music from the soul.

SWINGBOOTY continued from Page 1 Playing all over town, Swingbooty invites everyone from hoopers and spinners to visual artists to come enjoy themselves. Sometimes, they invite food trucks to keep stomachs full. Overall, the band looks to inspire dancing, fun and fraternity in its fans.

“We’ve been doing Swingbooty shows for a couple of years now, and I noticed that a tribe of sorts has developed over time,” Lange said. “I like that. I like a festival environment where it’s OK to be yourself, it’s OK to show off by yourself, and you’re going to have a good time and enjoy a good vibe.”

Lange said he believes many of their fans are the same people seen at festivals who appreciate the combination of jazz, afrobeats, ska and anything else Swingbooty is willing to dish up.

“My impression is that people just want good music,” Lange said, “and they have a huge tolerance for what you serve up as long as they can have fun and dance and feel a good energy.”

In particular, Lange said he sees a large presence of college students at their shows, a draw he believes is due to the demographic’s “large appetite for music diversity.”

“They listen to absolutely everything, and they enjoy hearing things that are not what they’re ‘supposed’ to like,” Lange said. “I think maybe people see that in us. They see something different.”

Swingbooty’s diversity is a product of more than their own sound. Collaborations with other local bands showcase their contrasting sounds and allow different fan groups to meet and enjoy the sounds together. Swingbooty frequently plays with Oroboro, a band that describes itself as a “jam/prog/rock/folk/psychedelic/human/cosmic band” on their Facebook page. The music of Swingbooty and Oroboro, while both varying and experimental, are on different ends of a spectrum.

“We do shows with them, and our crowds co-mingle and crossbreed,” Lange said. “Everybody enjoys having a great union...

They’re two completely different kinds of music, yet it works.”

Then, there’s the name.

Unexpected and unplanned, the title “Swingbooty” is a peek into the atmosphere of the gypsy jazz band’s shows.

“I think it’s one of those things that got blurted out at practice,

and everybody said, ‘Yeah!

That’s it!’ I don’t think there was a lot of discussion about it,” Lange said. “It just kind of gave birth to itself. It works. It works for us.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Staff Report The Tennessee Volunteer’s 2014-15 men’s basketball schedule was completed Friday with the release of the team’s 18-game SEC schedule on the SEC Network.

Other than marquee nonconference matchups with Butler, Dec. 14, and VCU – where new head coach Donnie Tyndall will coach in his first game for UT – in the Veterans Classic in Annapolis, Maryland on Nov. 14, the schedule features plenty of storylines throughout the SEC schedule.

For the first time since 1964, the Vols will not face the Florida Gators twice in the regular season. The only matchup between the SEC rivals will occur Feb. 28, 2015, in the O’Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida.

And after not playing in Knoxville last season for the first time since 1953, Kentucky returns to Knoxville Feb. 17 for an ESPN “Super Tuesday” matchup. The Vols do not play at Rupp Arena this season, marking UT’s first hoops campaign without a trip to Lexington, Kentucky, since 1953.

Former Tennessee Head Coach Bruce Pearl, who was fired after being charged by the NCAA for unethical conduct following the 2010-11

season, returns to Knoxville in his first season as coach of the Auburn Tigers on Jan. 31, 2015.

Tyndall will coach in his first home game Nov. 20 at Thompson-Boling Arena when Texas Southern University visits the Vols.

The Texas A&M Aggies, who gave Tennessee two defeats last season by the hands of forward player Antwan Space, face off against the Vols Jan. 24, 2015.

Georgia does not visit Knoxville for the first time since 1964, their only contest occurring Feb. 7, 2015.

The Vols will take a trip to Orlando, Florida, to play in the Orlando Classic Nov. 27-30. They will compete in the tournament alongside Santa Clara, Kansas, Rhode Island, Georgia Tech, Marquette, Michigan State and Rider.

Tennessee also will get a NCAA Tournament rematch with Mercer, who UT knocked in the Round of 32 to advance to their sixth Sweet Sixteen in program history, Dec. 22 in Thompson-Boling Arena.

The regular season then comes to a close March 7 in Knoxville, with the Vols hosting South Carolina.

The 2015 SEC Tournament runs March 11-15 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Switching sides: Robertson’s move to O-Line provides solidarity up front Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB) Position changes usually come with a learning curve, especially when they come in the middle of fall camp.

For Tennessee’s Jashon Robertson, however, it’s been just a little more than two weeks since he first made the switch from the defensive line to offensive guard for the Vols, and here he is, eyeing a starting spot when the Utah State Aggies come to Knoxville in 11 days.

“He hasn’t hit the freshman or training camp barrier,” Head Coach Butch Jones said. “He’s come and brought it each and every day. It’s like your kids: every individual has a maturity level different than the others … Jashon has done a great job overall.”

The former Vanderbilt commit worked out as a defensive tackle throughout the offseason, but following a meeting with Jones, he agreed it was best for the team, and himself, if he moved over to the offensive side of the ball.

Since then, he has dominated the trenches, becoming the fifth freshman to have his black stripe removed. He has also added some much needed strength inside for a team who is replacing all five starting members of the offensive line from last season.

“Jashon has literally improved every day,”

sophomore defensive tackle Danny O’Brien said.

“From the first time you hit him and did a pass rush move on him, until now, it’s like he’s a completely different player. Every day you kind of see little strides in his game and learning to play offensive line and their scheme. He improves every day. He gets harder and harder to get by every day.”

The 6-foot-2-inch, 286 pound freshman’s emergence on the line has not only disrupted Tennessee’s defensive players in practice, but also the projected starting offensive line as redshirt junior Kyler Kerbyson was moved to tackle to accommodate Robertson’s addition up front.

“It’s a little surprising that he has stepped into that role so fast,” Kerbyson said. “He’s gung-ho all the way and he wants to learn as much as he can. He asks me questions all the time whenever we’re not in and I really like that about him. He’s a hard worker.”

The Nashville native’s skills, however, aren’t just based off of his high school football experience.

He also gives credit to the other sport he excelled at in his four years at Montgomery Bell Academy.

“Wrestling works wonders,” Robertson said.

“I’ve seen guys on my team at high school who just had a year or two of wrestling and they came out on the football field as totally different players. It helps with your balance, hands, leverage,

everything.”

His four-year wrestling career didn’t just benefit Robertson from a physical standpoint, but added just a little bit more, he said.

“It perfectly relates to football,” Robertson said. “Especially the mental aspect of it. There’s something about getting off your back when somebody has you on your back and being down in the fourth quarter that completely correlates, that mindset that you have to fight and get back up and just that never quit attitude.”

Even with his meteoric rise up the depth chart, the former three-star recruit still believes he has a lot of improving to do before the season kicks off.

“Offensive line can be pretty tough because it is hard to stop someone from going forward while you’re going backwards,” Robertson said.

“I just have to work on some technical things like knee bends, stance and alignments; the technique aspects of it, but it will eventually become more natural to me.”

With a starting spot in the offensive line all but wrapped up, Robertson will soon be living out his dream under those lights inside Neyland Stadium next Sunday.

“I’m just very humble for the opportunity,” Robertson said. “I just go out there every day and just try to enjoy the game. I really love football and it’s just a dream of mine to play on this level and I just want to do everything I can to make my family proud and everybody back home in Nashville.”

TKJ continued from Page 1 And with a supporting parental staff that includes his father, Todd Kelly Sr., a former UT defensive star and first-round draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers, and mother, Renee, who currently serves as principal of Knoxville’s West Valley Middle School, Kelly Jr. has transitioned smoothly into an integral role for 2014.

“I take pride in thanking both of my parents for just raising me to become the man that I am today,” Kelly Jr. said, who had his black stripe removed Monday. “Just to stay encouraged and stay focused on taking one day at a time and not to get so down on myself. I’ve seen them struggle, and they’ve gone through it. And they both had successful careers, and I want to do the same.”

But the family support doesn’t stop there, he said.

There’s still one more Kelly chocked full of advice for the young freshman.

“My sister has been through college and had the same experience,” Kelly Jr. said, whose sister, Clarke, is a senior cheerleader at the University of Alabama. “She was an athlete as well, so she talked to me as well. So you just have to take it day by day, and when you make a mistake, you have to bounce back and have short-term memory.”

For Kelly Jr., though, his football resumé hardly bears any flaws. In 2013, while directing his Spartans to a fourth Division II-A State Championship in five seasons, Kelly Jr. was named the Tennessee Gatorade State Player of the Year and a U.S. Army All-American Bowl selection.

As a two-way threat throughout his entire senior campaign, Kelly Jr. scampered for 1,014 rushing yards and 23 total touchdowns as the centerpiece of Webb’s trademark Wing-T offense. On defense, as a top 15 nationally ranked safety all across the recruiting board, the Knoxville native racked up 53 tackles, an attribute that’s firmly translated to the college gridiron.

“With TK, the game is slowing down, and he’s been a sure tackler,” Jones said. “He’s played physical. We’ve pointed out that developing a team is about practicing etiquette: how you thud, how you tag off. We keep going back to illustrations of how you thud, and it’s always TK.” For Kelly Jr., though, the intense dedication to takedown perfection is no foreign subject as the first-year safety stressed that proper tackling technique is “something he has always focused on.”

And in the SEC, a conference Kelly Jr. labels “the most physical in the country,” where the practices are “more intense than high school games,” the hard-hitting 18-year-old knows success will come by emulating some of the fiercest safeties who currently roam NFL secondaries.

“To be a good defensive back— Eric Berry, Kam Chancellor, guys like that — they know how to tackle in the open field,” Kelly Jr. said. “So you just have to focus on your keys, have the right technique to bring those guys down, and now that I’m up to the college level it’s a lot harder to tackle these big and fast backs.

“But as long as you focus on your techniques and go full speed, you’re probably going to bring them down.”
