Peyton Manning and Pat McAfee direct ‘Rocky Top’

A pair of celebrity athletes led the Tennessee band in Rocky Top

The faithful are fired up in Knoxville as top-ranked Alabama will play Tennessee in SEC action.

Peyton Manning was the guest picker on ESPN’s College GameDay. And the legendary QB was tabbed to lead the Tennessee band in “Rocky Top.”

Manning decided he needed an assistant and called on Pat McAfee to join him.

McAfee sprinted to the second ladder that conveniently was there.

And off they went.

McAfee had a busy morning.
