Do We Call It Luck or What?

Do We Call It Luck or What?

HASH Journal — We arrive at Siesta Cove RV park to put the boat in, still tasting honey mustard sauce and onions from Subway, the sting of pink top Blenheim ginger ale. We hear gravel crunch, ricket slam; knuckles pop, spine crack; door slam door slam laughter. Dude good to see you; backslap hug-slap.

The Bitter Southerner — When we hear the word “noir,” our minds flash to black-and-white movies driven by hard-boiled, big-city detectives. But in the 21st century, a new genre of crime fiction has risen from the swamps, mountains, and suburbs of the South. Norris Eppes interviews seven rural noir masters to make sense of a thrilling literary genre that rings true to our region.

UT Daily Beacon — With nine minutes left to play, Katie Cousins took a pass from Maddie Krejci and played it into the middle.

Two touches to her left opened the goal, and Jordan finished with power in the bottom left corner. // Jordan scored her first goal as a Volunteer as the team won a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday.

Vols looking for first big win, Missouri game provides opportunity

Daily Beacon — A third of the way through the season and Tennessee soccer has lost all games played on Thursdays or Fridays. Strangely enough, the Vols have won every single game played on a Sunday.

Downhill track offers bikers wild ride

Daily Beacon — Leaning against his mountain bike, Michael Davis pushes his helmet back to wipe sweat out of his eyes. Davis is pausing for a moment after walking his mountain bike up the gravel access path to Devil's Racetrack, the recently opened double black diamond downhill trail in Baker Creek Preserve. Ahead of him, the trail starts as a dirt-skid of tire-marks which lead up a red-dirt ramp nearly his height. On the wooden fence beside Davis is a sign; there are two black diamonds painted to the left of "Devil" and two to the right of "Racetrack."

Emmett Machinists best Knoxville Holstons in hot contest

UT Daily Beacon — The Emmett Machinists beat the Knoxville Holstons ten runs to eight in sweltering noon-time heat at the Historic Ramsey House Saturday. The Knoxville clubs-two of the ten which compete as part of the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball-were closely matched over nine innings, having played a familiar game with a few unfamiliar rules. Using the rulebook of 1864 and wearing uniforms authentic to what 19th century players-"ballists," as they were called-would have worn, the Emmett Machinists took revenge for the narrow loss they suffered in their last meeting with the Holstons.
