Title: Hey y'all... regarding the pregame schedule... Post by: VOLveeta on August 30, 2013, 07:35:31 EDT is everything pretty much the same? The band hits the spot next to the bridge around an hour and a half before kickoff, right... or am I crazy? But I can't remember the timing of the Vol walk. I'm bringing a buddy who's never experienced a college game before and I wanna show it to him the right way.
Gracias Title: Re: Hey y'all... regarding the pregame schedule... Post by: Creek Walker on August 30, 2013, 07:38:36 EDT The Vol Walk starts 2:15 before kickoff (3:45 p.m. tomorrow). The bridge is no more. It was torn down for new construction. The band currently follows the same route as the Vol Walk down Peyton Pass. I'm not sure if that's permanent or just until Andy Holt is reopened once construction is finished.

Post by: Creek Walker on August 30, 2013, 11:59:29 EDT My neighbor is a life long Vols fan but he and his wife has never been to a game so we are taking them tomorrow. I always enjoy taking diehard UT fans to their first game and seeing their reaction. Too bad the opponent isn't higher profile than APSU so the atmosphere is more festive but the fan base is so ready for the Butch era to begin that it might not matter.
