The Tennessee Vols on the SEC Network, ESPYS recap and the Ray Guy Award watch list lead the Volunteers news for Thursday, July 13, 2017.

What a night it was on Wednesday! Tennessee Vols fans likely stayed up to watch Peyton Manning host the ESPYS and enjoy all the laughs.

And then there was plenty of news related to the school to come out.

As we get set to bring you the news on Rocky Top, the ESPYS will be a topic of conversation. But there’s also an SEC Network takeover to look forward to for the Vols.

And another Vol is on a preseason watch list. Let’s start with the Vols’ SEC Network takeover.

SEC Network to devote July 18 entirely to Tennessee Vols – UTSports

Every year, the SEC Network devotes one full day in the summer to each school in the conference. For Tennessee, that day will be Tuesday, July 18. The network will air last year’s football games vs Florida and Georgia, the men’s basketball win over Kentucky, the women’s basketball win at South Carolina, and the 1999 Fiesta Bowl along with other games.

"Featured content on that day includes memorable Tennessee football, basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball victories. Descriptions of those games can be found below. Network documentaries focused on Condredge Holloway and Pat Summitt are also scheduled to air."

"From the jokes by host Peyton Manning to the stories of inspiration by sports fans such as Jarrius Robertson, there were plenty of smiles — and even some tears — at the 25th ESPYS on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.Many of the world’s best athletes packed into the Microsoft Theater for the annual awards show, and by night’s end, some familiar names took center stage."
