Ferguson decision sparks campus walk-out in support of Brown Claire Dodson

Editor-in-Chief Part of the UT community will walk out of scheduled classes Tuesday at noon, announce “Black lives matter” and gather in the Humanities Amphitheater -- all in support of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was killed by a policeman Aug. 9.

The protest was planned Tuesday afternoon during a “Moment for Dialogue” at the Black Cultural Center. The meeting was set up as a forum to discuss the controversial decision by a St. Louis County grand jury not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the killing of Brown, an African-American resident of Ferguson, Missouri.

Wilson shot the unarmed Brown six times on Aug. 9, resulting in his death at the scene. The case was turned over from Ferguson police to the St. Louis County grand jury, which spent 25 separate days hearing evidence and testimonies. County prosecutor Robert P. McCulloch announced the decision not to indict Wilson on Nov. 24, sparking protests, looting and violence in Ferguson and around the country.

Seniors Rilwan Balogun, Christopher Smith and Laquesha Wilson were called upon as members of UT’s Summer LEAD Institute to take action. The three decided an open forum was necessary for students and faculty to process the decision, its effects on the community and an effective response.

“I knew that people really had a lot to say but didn’t have a better outlet than Twitter,” said Balogun, a senior in journalism and electronic media.

“We wanted everyone to meet and vent.”

Around 50 people of various races crowded the Black Cultural Center’s multipurpose room, where the primary emotions were anger and confusion. Attendees spoke one by one about the controversial decision, with most saying it was a miscarriage of justice and a symptom of deep-seated racism still present in the U.S. Deandra Gordon, who graduated in 2013 with a degree in Spanish, was one of the attendees who vocalized her dissatisfaction with the way the case was handled.

“When all this first started in Ferguson, I was really happy because all the different ethnic groups and social classes were coming together to show their support … usually the black struggle is just the black struggle,” Gordon said. “But then when I heard the verdict, I was like, all those people -- black, white, Asian, Hispanic, indigenous -- all those people coming together still did not stop this from happening, did not stop this man from getting away with murder.”

The discourse spanned from police brutality to how the actual crime scene was handled. Transcripts of the grand jury testimony indicated that the medical investigator, whose name was redacted from the report, did not take pictures at the scene because of a dead camera battery and did not take measurements like

investigators usually do, according to CNN. Natalie Greene, a third-year law student, took special issue with the law aspects of this case.

“In the law building, things are so heavy,” Greene said. “I can’t even describe to you how it feels, because everybody there knows, understands what happened last night in a different way. What happened was wrong, and I can give you a law lesson in why it was wrong.

“That’s just not how it works, and it defies everything we’ve learned in the past three years.”

After around half an hour of debate, the conversation turned to practical steps the UT community can take to change the dialogue around race to one that is productive and educational, with participants citing the need for more campus dialogue about these issues and better education on the United States’ history of racism and oppression of minorities.

At this point, the group decided on the class walk-out to honor Brown and protest the lack of trial with the saying, “Black lives matter,” which was created after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was killed in 2012 by George Zimmerman, who was later acquitted.

Greene emphasized the response from UT students should be one of leadership in order to effect change on a national level.

“We do have a voice, and the government is not bigger than people,” Greene said.

Faculty archaeologist finds passion in Tennessee cave art Hannah Marley Staff Writer

“My mother would tell you that ‘archaeology’ was one of the first multi-syllable words I ever said.”

Jan Simek’s first words foreshadowed a life-long passion for digging up secrets from the past.

Simek, UT’s interim department head of anthropology and award winner for his work on prehistoric cave paintings in Alabama, said that his love and fascination for archaeology began before he could read.

“I can still in my mind’s eye remember lying on the floor of the library going through these books about ancient Egypt and looking at the pictures,” Simek said. “I knew then that this is what I wanted to do.”

Never losing his fascination with the subject, Simek went on to study archaeology at the University of California. There he specialized in the study of how humans, from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens, came to be and grew the passion that has driven his extensive study of prehistoric artwork.

“From the beginning, I was interested in the most fundamental problem of how we all came to be the way we are,” Simek said.

“How we came to intellectually be who we are ... how the pieces of humanity began to congeal.”

For Simek, this broad question can be seen, studied and explored through the paintings and artwork ancient humans have left behind in cave paintings that can be found across the globe.

Simek initially studied and conducted field work with much older cave paintings in France, but when he came to UT in the late ‘70s, a unique opportunity for similar studies had just emerged in the many cave systems in the surrounding area as the first examples of prehistoric artwork on the continent found in south-

east Tennessee.

Since then, more than 75 caves containing prehistoric cave art have been discovered. Simek said he has been able to use the artwork to analyze the religions of the ancestors of the Cherokee, Choctaw and Creek Native American tribes.

The most complex and exquisitely crafted of these paintings lies in Northern Alabama, Simek said, and had not been adequately documented until he and his team examined the cave and cliff paintings in the area.

“That’s why we got this award, because it was as spectacular as it was,” said Simek. “It was a surprise that these things existed and had never been documented.”

For Simek, these paintings, among others found in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky, can be used to draw conclusions about how ancient people in North America perceived the world around them.

“We have come to realize that the two kinds of artwork, one high up on the bluffs, the other down low underground, are related to each other and were made by the same people and reflect different parts of their religious system,” Simek said.

Much of the information Simek has gathered comes from the interpretation of repetitive symbols that reflect the complexity of the ancient people’s religious thought.

“Their religion was constructed of legends and stories and parables and truths that were taught from generation to generation,” Simek said. “There were rituals that were performed and main-

tained by priests, and engaged with that always are symbols.”

One of the more prominent symbols includes a circle with a cross through it that reflects a three-tiered universe, including an upper, middle and lower world, with priests that can move between the three.

Symbols similar to this, Simek said, appear in many unrelated cave paintings from different areas of the globe, as well as in central themes of modern religions, including Christianity.

“Understanding religion in the past suggests that people have always had belief systems about where we came from and where we are going,” Simek said. “There are characteristic issues in life and thought that characterize all of us.”

This unity in intellectual and religious development and thought, Simek said, can be found in the study of the past and should, ideally, influence the way modern people from different backgrounds or religious ideologies interact with each other.

“Regardless of how different we are in our cultures, the similarities should far outweigh the differences in how we perceive each other, and in the end that does demand tolerance of us and acceptance of each other,” Simek said.

These broad connections and unanswered questions Simek continues to investigate in his work reaffirm his love for his field and his decision to pursue archaeology from a young age.

“I never wanted to do anything else,” he said. “Never.”

Is an 88 second trailer really worth reviewing? When it comes to Star Wars, absolutely.

If you haven’t yet heard, the first glimpse of JJ Abrams’ bold new take on Star Wars was released in theaters and online last Friday. The trailer unquestionably succeeds in hyping the upcoming film, but after the initial excitement wore off, certain questions remained regarding Abrams’ influence on the longstanding franchise.

(Warning: contains spoilers of a trailer … if that’s possible.)

1. Where the hell was Han? I’m aware of the fact that Harrison Ford is getting on in years, but Abrams has to acknowledge what the fans want to see. One of the main reasons Star Wars fans are so excited for the new movies is largely because of the original cast’s return. Instead of glimpses of what of Luke, Han and Leia might be doing after all these years, all the viewer gets are the shocked expressions of newcomers Daisey Ridley and John Boyega gawking into the camera. Not to say I’m not looking forward to their performances, but it’s not what I want to see right now.

2. What’s up with the soccer droid?

The fact that J.J. Abrams chose to include a droid in the trailer that wasn’t R2 or C3PO

concerns me. If this little rolling abomination is meant to replace everyone’s favorite pair of comedic robots, consider my sensitive Star Wars sensibilities offended. Maybe Abrams is just trying to highlight some of the new visuals or effects of the movies, but after the nightmare that was Jar Jar Binks, I think I’m allowed to be a little skeptical.

3. Is that another new lightsaber?

Is it just me, or does it seem like every subsequent Star Wars film needs a new lightsaber just to keep things fresh? First, we had Darth Maul’s double sword (admittedly awesome), then a curved sword in “Attack of the Clones” (admittedly lame), and now a lightsaber with a cross guard? While I admit the shock effect was noteworthy, I can’t help but feel like it’s overkill at this point. Stop relying on gimmicks to excite fans for the films. Do it with content.

4. The return of the Millenium Falcon.

Alright, this one’s not a question, I just had to include it in the list. As soon as the Falcon came swooping over the sands against that classic screech of pursuing tie-fighters, I felt shivers run the length of my spine.

For all my gripes, I’ve honestly never felt so reassured as when that majestic ship came flying out of the screen and back into my heart.

Star Wars is back, and I couldn’t be happier.

Iggy Azalea’s new album falls short Robert Parker Jenkins Contributor

Iggy Azalea – she’s back and tragically basic.

After her rapid rise to pop stardom with her premier album “The New Classic,” Iggy Azalea comes with a reissue of her debut album in “Reclassified.” But Miss I-G-G-Y seems to take a nosedive into monotonous repetition and I-G-Gdies in the flames of self-promoting unoriginality.

The release, featuring five new songs, came after mounting anticipation following her chart topping year of powerful female collaborations with the likes of Rita Ora, Ariana Grande and Charlie XCX, mastering international hits that kept playing in our heads well after the radio went off, becoming the anthems of Starbucks-grasping white girls all over the nation.

On October 24, Azalea released “Beg For It” featuring the sharp femme vocals of up and comer MØ as a precursor to “Reclassified.” As always, Azalea demonstrates her mastery for pairing feisty pop hooks with her signature biting rhymes, climbing the ranks in an industry drumming out female power themes.

But what Azalea really succeeds in doing with her latest single goes beyond her demonstration for vocal prowess: she fools her fans into thinking “Reclassified” will bring relevant additions to her growing repertoire.

She does nothing but wearily recount her successes from her first album in “We In This Bitch,” the opening addition to her reissue that bounces along with some low-riding beat underlying a slew of pretentious lyrics that leaves a bitter aftertaste of Kanye after listening to it.

She picks things up a bit in “Iggy SZN,” spitting quick brags over top a simple, clapping beat that actually goes over well if played in a car with the right bass. She holds stronger here than on any other stand-alone song she has put out but still fails to contribute a notable solo addition that could compete with her untouchable collaborations.

Azalea’s last two supplements come in the form of collaborative works alongside Ellie

Izzy Azalea’s second album “Reclassified”

Reclassified Iggy Azalea

Goulding and Jennifer Hudson that, frankly, are the kind of songs used as semi-substantial album fillers and become lost in the depths of an iTunes library. Blame it on the tired hook that fails to demonstrate the soaring gospel vocals of Hudson or the botched attempt to partner with the newage ethereal sound that has became synonymous with Goulding. Either way, instead of playing to the already solidified strengths of these pop alumni, Azalea mistakenly utilizes them as an embellishment to her rocky rhymes – an equation vividly unsuccessful in the formulation of Iggy Azalea notables.

My advice? Stick with the tried and true singles that have skyrocketed the rapper to the top of the charts. This is where you will find the true essence of Iggy Azalea in her element, laying down solid lines that deepen those pop vocals she commandeers so well. It’s like a bag of trail mix: it’s better to pick and choose all the good stuff than to take a handful of some mediocre mix.

Letter to the

Editor

Campus racism: starting the conversation Dear editor, I read your editorial regarding the suspension of the two UT football players titled “Stop the sexual assault shame,” and I was deeply moved by it. I commend you. It’s about time that someone stood up and said what needed to be said.

Sometimes we think it, but rarely do we ever voice our thoughts out loud.

That’s actually why I am writing this letter. In light of recent events with the grand jury decision in Ferguson, social media has caught fire.

Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, you name it -- but especially Yik Yak. This new anonymous sharing app has opened my eyes to the pure ignorance and racism our campus is suffocating in.

Just from scrolling down the feed, there are countless yaks that range from supporting Darren Wilson to asking why “black people are so lazy” to condemning affirmative action to making black jokes. It’s appalling and gross to say the least.

I always felt that this campus was somewhat segregated, but this app has really shined the light on how a majority of my “fellow Vols” really feel. It was not just ignorance but pure malice and hate. Rarely do I allow racist remarks to get to me. I’ve heard it all, the racism for being black, the prejudice for being Muslim, the sexism for being a woman, but for some reason, reading those remarks deeply affected me.

When I first started at UT as a freshman, I was excited to be studying at a “diverse and progressive institution.” It was only later that I realized that the atmosphere on campus was nothing like the pictures I saw on the UT homepage. Let’s be real: most people here stick with the people they know and the people like them.

Now, as a senior, I scrolled down the feed on my phone, and I attempted to grasp or understand why I was reading what I was reading. The first time I discussed racism at UT was in my elective race and ethnicity class, that’s it.

When it comes to racism, we whisper it quietly because “we don’t want to bring up the race card,” and we pretend like it’s not still a problem.

Racism is real. Racism is a problem at UT. Without informed dialogue and discussion about an issue that plagues all of us, we create a breeding ground for ignorance and hate that yields comments like the ones on the ever popular app Yik Yak. When voicing my frustration to my peers, some advised me to “just ignore it.”

Ignoring it is part of the problem. Not writing about it is part of the problem. Pretending it doesn’t exist is part of the problem. Too often when racism is discussed, there is an “us” and “them” mentality. People need to realize that racism is not just a black issue. It is a campus wide issue, a national issue.

It is my hope that through this letter, maybe we can start this much needed conversation. I’m willing if you are. #BlackLivesMatter #GoVols Hawa Henderson is a senior microbiology and Africana Studies. She can be reached at hhender7@vols.utk.edu.

Categories for your relatives this holiday season The Workshop by

Thomas Carpenter So far this semester, this column has angered students, state legislators, UT administrators and even a governor.

I have maintained an air of gravity because of the subject matter, although I try to be somewhat lighthearted every once in awhile.

Now, while I set out in the beginning to make people think about important issues, I do believe it can be tiring to be confronted with the negative week after week. So, dear faithful reader, I offer a treat this week in the spirit of the holidays. After a heavy dose of relatives this Thanksgiving weekend, I have assembled the different types of relatives you will encounter this holiday season.

I apologize if this closely resembles the type of click-bait that one might expect from Buzzfeed, but hey, I’m only doing this for the money.

The Drunk After just a couple sips of Pinot Grigio, Aunt Mary is already dancing and singing to Barry Manilow. If you stick around long enough, you’re guaranteed to get some juicy family secrets out of her after she’s had a couple more glasses. Just make sure to keep her away from the pool and/or fire pit.

The Pervert Uncle Ned’s 45 years old and still unmarried, but he sure loves to talk about what a beautiful woman your cousin Jessica has grown up to be. No, seriously he won’t stop talking about it -- it’s really creepy. His hugs last just a little too long, and he smells a little like stale meatloaf, but he means well. Just laugh off his lewd jokes and pretend like he’s not hitting on all of his in-laws.

We’ve all got crazy families, but regardless of their flaws, you have to love them no matter what. Enjoy your time with them because they won’t be around forever. They may not always be your favorite people, but when you have wine, they can be a lot more tolerable.

A startling whirlwind of hate Brick by Brick by

Tor Voorhees It seems ubiquitous now, but the controversial statue in the middle of Pedestrian Walkway has only been present at the University of Tennessee for around five years. Funded by a gift from alumnus Wilton D. Hill, the sculpture named “A Startling Whirlwind of Opportunity” was originally designed by artist Alice Aycock to convey the energy created by hundreds of college students passing the area everyday. While I will reserve my judgment of the piece for later in this column, it is appropriate to say that most students did not adore the final result.

Aycock’s work was picked out of approximately 220 applicants via the UT Public Art Selection Committee. The committee, made up of faculty, students, administrators and Knoxville-area artists began the process of finding a viable sculpture in 2005 when they released an international call asking for artists from across the globe to submit resumes and

Grandma Betty is sure to make you feel bad for not making church a priority while you’re away at school. Oddly enough, she also knows the secret to your fate in the afterlife and is not shy at all to make sure you know about it. Just nod your head and accept that you are a godless heathen destined for eternal suffering, but your granny still loves you!

The Economist Yes, although Uncle Carl only holds an associate’s degree in sports management from Loosahatchie Community College, he might as well be the head of the Atlanta Fed by the way he talks about fiscal policy.

He’ll tell you that good ol’ Obummer is ruining the economy with his socialist commie agenda. There’s no changing Uncle Carl’s mind either, so maybe you should bring up that Obama is a Muslim who was born in Kenya. You might get an extra fiver in your stocking this year.

The Conspiracy Theorist Did you know that cousin Jeremy’s just joined an online coalition to stop the use of chemtrails? He’ll tell you all about how the government is trying to control the population with secret planes spraying toxic chemicals into our atmosphere. Jeremy has also picked up an affinity for fedoras, which he sports proudly with a feather and a rather grotesque neckbeard. Don’t think you’ll get away from him before he informs you about the details of the 9/11 inside job by the U.S.

portfolios of their work. After narrowing the field to only four individuals, Aycock was selected.

On Sept. 5, 2009, the 25-foot glass and aluminum sculpture was dedicated and officially became a part of the university landscape. Almost immediately, students began to respond negatively to the campus’ newest addition. In prior publications, editors and columnists alike have suggested no student has ever said anything positive about the sculpture.

During my time at the University of Tennessee, I have heard countless individuals express dismay toward the sculpture’s overall appearance. While I do agree with them on its lack of attractiveness, lots of undue blame for the sculpture is frequently placed firmly on the shoulders of university administrators. As I mentioned above, the committee that picked Aycock as the primary artist did include students who we can assume had faith in the artist’s abilities at the time. As such it is more appropriate to blame the entire committee, including students, for the resulting scar on the campus landscape.

While the general consensus then seems to be that the sculpture is ugly, objections can be raised regarding art as relative. That is to say that by its very

nature art cannot be judged by a set standard. While this may be true, it is also true that when the majority of those meant to appreciate a piece find it unsightly, it may be fair to assume that the work is not best suited to the given audience. With “A Startling Whirlwind of Opportunity,” we see this very thing playing out. A sculpture that may be appreciated in the Art and Architecture building just does not fit well with the student collective at the University of Tennessee.

Calls to tear down the sculpture will probably not stop and a response will probably never come. The ugly tornado of a sculpture will possibly be here for a while and has become endearing to me just because of that. It is yet another eccentricity, another “thing” that makes UT home. Much like how an ugly bumper sticker you regret putting on your car reminds you of all your time together, the whirlwind statue reminds me daily of all the time I have spent walking under its horrid shadow. No matter how much I want to hate the statue, without it I would not feel at home.

Bowl game bid forms Vols become bowl eligible with 24-17 victory over Vanderbilt to close out season solid foundation

David Cobb

Senior Sports Columnist (@DavidWCobb)

It is an actual foundation that is not hinged upon interpretation of Jones’ words or the accuracy of Rivals or 247Sports in ranking the athletic ability of teenagers.

UT’s 2014 season does lend credibility to one of Jones’ oft-used catchphrases, though.

He says that, “winning is fragile.”

If Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette had directed his offense to the end zone in the final minute of Saturday’s game and led the Commodores to an overtime victory, this would be a column questioning the legitimacy of UT’s coaching staff.

Or if Joshua Dobbs had not redeemed the Vols from a 14-point deficit with under five minutes to play at South Carolina on Nov. 1, Saturday’s game would have been meaningless and this would be a column about the UT basketball team’s near-upset of Kansas.

But the UT football team persevered against all odds to win that South Carolina game, and it survived several late-season injuries, along with the suspension of team leader A.J. Johnson, to accomplish something with substance.

If it was just a narrow win over a listless Vanderbilt team, the Vols had no business parading joyfully around the field after the game as if they had won a championship.

But ugly as it may have been, that win over Vanderbilt was more than just a win over Vanderbilt.

It was a haphazardly packaged indication that more meaningful wins may be on the horizon.

Extra point: Jones has said on multiple occasions in the last few weeks that many people predicted UT to finish with 2-4 wins. Does anyone know who the heck he is talking about? Plenty of pundits – myself included – predicted five wins for this team, but no one with an ounce of credibility said UT would only win two games. Give it a rest, Butch.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It came without a bow, and it looked like a blindfolded three-year-old wrapped it.

Though the gift of a bowl game came to the Tennessee faithful boxed inside an ugly 24-17 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday, the disheveled packaging should not detract from the importance of what it means.

Making a bowl game is tangible, on-the-field evidence of progress for a football program that has spun its wheels in the mud of mediocrity since 2007.

Tennessee remains far from national relevance, and even farther from national prominence. In fact, nothing screams mediocrity quite like struggling to beat a lifeless Vanderbilt team.

But the 2014 season should be regarded as a success for the Vols, because, as a whole, it indicates that second-year coach Butch Jones and his staff may be strong enough to pull UT out of its rut.

It is still uncertain if Jones possesses the wherewithal to direct the Vols to the top of the SEC, but at least the hope that he will is no longer grounded in blind faith or recruiting rankings.

Instead, it is grounded in something concrete that happened on the football field. It is grounded in the fact that UT will participate in the postseason for the first time since 2010.

A six-win season is more than David Cobb is a senior in journaljust another “brick” in the verbally ism and electronic media. Contact created “brick-by-brick” campaign to him at dcobb3@vols.utk.edu. rebuild Tennessee football.

Troy Provost-Heron

Sports Editor (@TPro_UTDB) NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Last season, Tennessee’s bowl hopes were at the mercy of Patton Robinette.

He crushed them.

With the Volunteers leading 24-17 and their bowl eligibility at stake once again, the Vanderbilt redshirt sophomore quarterback had another chance to give UT’s season an unexpected ending.

This time, though, Tennessee’s defense held the Commodores out of the end zone, securing a 24-17 victory to make the Vols bowl eligible for the first time since 2010.

“This game kind of summarized our season,” Tennessee head coach Butch Jones said. “There was adversity, and we showed great resiliency, and we found a way to win the football game.

“It wasn’t pretty, but we found a way to get it done.”

Specifically, it was the Vols defense that got it done, especially in the fourth quarter.

Following a three-yard rushing touchdown by Vanderbilt redshirt freshman running back Ralph Webb to close out the third quarter, UT’s offense started the fourth quarter in horrible fashion.

On the first play of the final period, sophomore quarterback Joshua Dobbs threw his second interception of the night to Torren McGaster, setting the Commodores up in UT territory with a chance to knot the game up at 24.

Two plays later, however, it was redshirt junior Brian Randolph who answered with a pick of his own.

“We’re a great family as a team,” Randolph said. “For example, in the South Carolina game, they had our backs when the defense was struggling, so at times today when they struggled, we felt like we had to return the favor.”

And the defense did just that, limiting Vanderbilt to 55 yards and three first downs on its final three drives to preserve UT’s seven-point lead.

The final drive, however, did not come without its anxious moments.

With Robinette looking to hand the Vols another heart-breaking memory, the Commodores were able to pick up two

Hannah Cather • The Daily Beacon first downs and advance to Tennessee’s 49-yard line.

That was as far as they would get, though, as a pass for no gain followed by three consecutive incomplete passes would clinch the Vols’ sixth victory of the season.

“Winning is hard,” Jones said. “Winning is very fragile, as we’ve experienced this year. You have to learn how to win. You have to learn how to close out games. You have to learn how to close games out when everything doesn’t go your way and maybe you don’t have your best performance, but you still find ways to win football games.

“That’s why it’s all-encompassing why tonight was big.”

The first half saw the majority of Tennessee and Vanderbilt’s scoring, as the Vols were able to score 17 of their 24 points in the opening 30 minutes of the ballgame.

Sophomore cornerback Cam Sutton got the Vols on the board first when he fielded a Colby Cooke punt and returned it 76 yards to the house.

“It was only a matter of time,” Sutton said. “The coaches did a great job of scheming them and we knew the way they were stepping up to the punt, the direction of the punt and stuff like that, and then my front team did a great job staying on their blocks.”

Dobbs capped the first half scoring one drive after Vanderbilt found the end zone for the first time — a 36-yard pitch and catch from Robinette to Steven Scheu —

with a one-yard touchdown run to give UT a 17-10 lead heading into halftime.

Dobbs also scored the Vols’ lone secondhalf touchdown, an eight-yard rush with 3:19 left in the third quarter.

The Alpharetta, Ga., native rushed for 91 yards on the day and helped the Vols running attack continue to succeed after freshman running back Jalen Hurd was forced out of the game with an “upper body extremity” injury.

He was also aided by senior running back Marlin Lane, who finished the day with 51 yards on a season-high 16 carries.

“I come in every game with my mind ready to go,” Lane said. “I always prepare just in case something happens like this, so that I can keep the team going and keep their heads up and keep fighting forward.”

For the seniors, the victory means that they will be heading to a bowl game for the first time in their careers.

“They did not want it to end,” Jones said. “We were fighting to live two or three more weeks. I told them we had a team meeting on Monday at 3 o’clock, and it could be to go through our bowl schedule, or it could be to say goodbye and it kind of hit them.

“They said, ‘Coach, we’re not saying goodbye.’ This group has been resilient all year ... I’m so proud of everyone associated with our football organization. We’re all aligned as one and that’s how you win, and we have that winning culture.”

Lang leads No. 6 Texas over No. 4 Tennessee 72-59 Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Kelsey Lang scored 18 points and No. 6 Texas continued its torrid start with a 72-59 win over No. 4 Tennessee, snapping a five-game losing streak in the rivalry.

The victory was another important step in Texas coach Karen Aston’s mission to return the Longhorns to the nation’s elite programs. Once a women’s basketball powerhouse, Texas has strug-

gled to be a factor nationally or in the Big 12 over the last decade.

But Texas started this season ranked in the Top 10 and backed it up with an impressive victory at then No. 6-Stanford. Handily beating Tennessee will further expectations of a big season in Aston’s third year in Austin.

Texas (5-0) had four players score in double figures and shot 62 percent in the second half.

Bashaara Graves scored 15 points for Tennesse (4-2), which has lost two in a row.
