Knoxville, Tennessee: It rained overnight and was pouring this morning when we all (Mary, Steve, Chris, Kathy, Woody, DT and myself) piled into the Suburban and hit the freeway east to Knoxville.
It is about a three hour drive from Nashville to Knoxville. By the time we arrived, the weather had cleared a bit, but they are predicting rain, thunder & lightning for the game tomorrow night.
Oh joy.

We found our hotel in the outskirts of Knoxville, settled-in and then jumped back in the car to visit a suburb of Knoxville - Maryville, Tennessee - Steve's birthplace.





We met a cast of thousands at the Crown & Goose Pub for dinner. We saw Ducks everywhere in Knoxville this evening! Most Vol fans were quite fun and hazed us with friendly banter.


Hey, wait a minute. Isn't Brandon our house sitter? Shouldn't he be holding down our fort?
Being our house sitter is a very tough job, isn't it?
The game is tomorrow on ESPN2 in HD at 4p pacific (7p eastern). Be there.
And wear green or yellow, wontcha?
Until my next update, I remain your GO DUCKS correspondent.
