Hello From Knoxville

October 1, 2011 - 10:56 AM

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Awoke this morning to 41 degrees and made the easy drive in from Johnson City some 90 miles away. "UT" flags waved from car windows all along the way. The parking ramp is next to the Tennessee River so me and my Tennesee host, former News employee Karen Borrelli, walked over to take a look at all the UT fans who motored in by boat. Then we waited outside the media gate for the "Vol Walk" down Peyton Manning Way. Amazing how many Vols fans line up along the route as the players parade to the stadium. Here's the press box view at Neyland Stadium.
