Go three Cracker Barrels and take a right

By Mark Etheridge - May 06, 2007

I'm in East Tennessee, folks. Home to mountains, rivals, orange everywhere, and 12 Cracker Barrel restaurants within a 30 miles radius. Folks around here can give directions based on their locations - go three Cracker Barrels and take a right.

As luck would have it, there was one between the hotel and the ballyard this morning. I ordered Uncle Hershel's favorite this morning - an old country breakfast. After that I rolled around campus - turn at the second Cracker Barrel to get there - and went by ginormous Neyland Stadium and Volunteer Landing where the boats access the river. They have several eateries on the river. I'm sure that's a blast on a football Saturday.

They just passed out the lineups. Ole Miss is going with Nathan Baker (5-1/3.52) on the mound. Tennessee is going with Lance McClain (5-4/4.94).
