If I'm in Marietta, what's the latest I should leave to get to the game on time? Sorry I don't know much about Atlanta traffic

3 hours ago?
Seriously, I'm not there, but Atlanta traffic during rush hour, especially a holiday weekend, is notorious. I'd be afraid to wait very long.

Nice Ryan. Don't let Wes have the camera... No telling what kind of weird stuff he would find to shoot pics of.
Go Vols

Ha! That was with my iPhone, actually. Didn't bring the camera tonight. I don't believe we have sideline access before the game.

A few of N.C. State's special-teams guys now are out on the field for pregame warmups. The Wolfpack, as expected, are wearing all red tonight. Tennesssee will be wearing its traditional home uniforms — orange jerseys with white pants and white helmets.

One hour until FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!!!!!! Big thanks to Wes, Ryan and the whole crew. I haven't been this excited in years and the in depth reporting is the biggest reason.

Former UT basketball coach Bruce Pearl is in the stands — right below the press box, actually — wearing an orange shirt.

The first two groups of Tennessee players now are out on the field for pregame warmups, and the first two renditions of "Rocky Top" already have been played.

The rest of the Vols just came out onto the field for pregame warmups to a loud roar from the UT fans in attendance. N.C. State is fairly well-represented, but it's pretty obvious Tennessee fans will outnumber N.C. State fans tonight.
