Peyton Manning announced as Gameday Picker!

[dsvol]

Check the forecast, there is a storm coming on the GBO scale... Vols by Fiddy!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Nail in the coffin

 

[DrTNT]

Can he do the in-game commentary too?

Along w/ Eli… with special guests Al Wilson, Leonard Little, David Keith & … Dolly Parton

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

The “Peyton Curse” doesn’t exist. We’ve lost plenty of games without him there too.

It’s been the “lack of talent and coaching” curse

We could do with some of the curse he put on Bama three consecutive times.

 

[Vols1313]

The curse had to be Peyton couldn’t be that we’ve been terrible the last 15 years. Yeah definitely Peyton.

What about baseball and Basketball?

 

[Volmac2022]

I'm so happy we got someone worthy to be the guest picker for gameday this time around!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

What about baseball and Basketball?

Wasn't he at the CWS game we lost?

Nail in the coffin

Thank you, Mr. Sunshine

 

[GAVol]

This has to be one of the dumbest curses I’ve ever heard of. There’s literally no one that’s shown up to many non-cupcake games in the last 15 years who is above .500 lol.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Thank you, Mr. Sunshine

Sorry. I dont even believe in curses. Guess I've just learned to associate his face with a L.

 

[KeyVol14]

Well curse has to be broken somehow

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

So are y’all going to give up the “Peyton is a jinx” schtick when we win Saturday?

 

[BearCat204]

This team will overcome any and all curses. Peyton represents this University better than just about any alumni.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

My understanding is the "curse" is just for the Florida game, Peyton beat bama 3 straight so we're all good

 

[volfanhill]

Wasn't he at the Florida game this year?

 

[CAVPUT]

I was hoping for Dale Jones but he's a tad busy on Saturdays.

 

[GhostVol]

Nice he’s earned it anyone that really believes in curses probably believe in ghosts goblins trolls leprechauns big bad witch lol

When did all of those stop existing?

 

[bluevols27]

This is going to be awesome. Hopefully they have a pre-taped “skit” ala his SNL performance where he is making fun of himself for being the scapegoat for our losses when he shows up to Knoxville for games.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

The “curse” ends Saturday.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

What about baseball and Basketball?

He was at the super regional against notre dame but you gotta fill me in on the other big baseball and basketball losses. Y’all really go through life this superstitious? Lmao

 

[Sudden Impact]

Wasn't Peyton 4-0 against Alabama

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Yep, nothing to do with a busy guy only coming to the biggest (and, thus, most difficult) games. It’s all Tennessee’s favorite son being a total curse!

Exactly, haven’t won big games whether Peyton’s there or not.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

At the very least Peyton at least understands football and can comment lucidly. Some of the people that have been pickers were clueless.

 

[joevol33]

We winning anyway

 

[Vols1313]

Wasn't he at the CWS game we lost?

Yeah
