It is a game-day experience – a full weekend experience, really – that is the most underrated in all of college football. That is how good a football weekend is at Tennessee. You hear forever about “Boomer Sooner,” about the band roaring onto the field pre-game in South Bend, about Bevo in Austin, about dotting the “I” in Columbus.
But it’s hard to beat a weekend in Knoxville, Tenn. This is probably the biggest upset on the list – I have Tennessee at No. 2 of best SEC game-weekend experiences. The reasons are many.
It starts with the river.
