The Tennessee Volunteers have welcomed many new additions to their football family in the past year — new coaches, traditions and even a new Smokey (Smokey X made his debut at the Spring Game).
Butch Jones (as well as the Volunteers’ official Twitter account) posted pictures of the Vols’ brand new bus that will be dropping the team off at the Vol walk on Peyton Manning Pass in just a few days.
The bus features the famous “I will give my all” slogan on one side, with an outline of the state of Tennessee in the background. A new slogan brought to the program by Jones, “Rise To The Top”, is featured on the back of the bus.
The Vols have a brand new atmosphere on Rocky Top, so it only makes sense to continue to improve the off-the-field product.
