Kenny Chesney performing at Bristol and Butch Jones addressing the campus culture headline the Tennessee Vols news on Rocky Top for Wednesday, June 1.

It’s the first day of June! Know what that means? There are only three more full months to go before football season finally begins. Hooray!!!

Hey, we’ve already made it four months without college football,  and in a week it will have been four months without football period, so we are past the halfway point in the offseason.

As the summer months hit, the hype behind football season still continues to dominate the news in Knoxville with the expectations surrounding Butch Jones’s football program. And with SEC Spring Meetings happening a little over a month before SEC Media Days is set to begin, the season is inching closer.

But some news relative to Knoxville came out of the spring meetings as well, and we will start with that to cover the Wednesday happenings on Rocky Top.
