Trump to catch top 15 Tennessee – Texas matchup in Knoxville

If the Tennessee Texas matchup needed any more hype, the White House confirmed the president is headed to Knoxville for the weekend.

President Trump is scheduled to attend Saturday’s first-ever regular season meeting between the Longhorns and Volunteers, according to the report.

It caps what is sure to be a festive tailgate on Rocky Top as ESPN’s College Gameday crew arrived on campus Wednesday to construct stages and interview areas for the Saturday broadcast. This will be Gameday’s 13th visit to UT and the fourth time during Coach Josh Heupel’s tenure.
