Center of the Universe Shifts from Bristol to Knoxville
Last week, it took a miracle to make your way around Bristol due to the NASCAR races.
This weekend, Knoxvillians have much of the same to look forward to.
According to an article in today's Knoxville News-Sentinel, over 300,000 people will make their way to the downtown/campus area for the Boomsday and football activities.
Columnist Sam Venable has a few interesting ideas of how to deal with the traffic.
At least with this having been one of the hottest summers on record, the weekend weather looks comfortable. While that's good for fans and fireworks watchers, it isn't the best news for the Vols. I have to admit that I was praying for some Dixie heat and humidity to welcome in those hippies from California...
