Well I just visited a relative that recently moved to Knoxville. I agree on restaurants, outdoor activities and summer weather. However, housing prices seem to have gone thru the roof, at least on the west side of town, and traffic/road logistics are some of the worst I've ever seen. Street lights and sidewalks seem to be a foreign concept.
This Tennessee team was in an absolute dogfight with Austin Peay and never led in the game until 15 seconds before halftime. Their first opponent (Virginia) is literally the worst P5 team and possibly one of the five worst FBS teams. Tennessee is not that good. Our defense will contain them and I think we'll make just enough plays to pull it out.
