Of course, it’s a big game no matter what — cigars and all — and the college football fans who were lucky enough to attend the game in person at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville got to see WNBA star Candace Parker hype up the Tennessee crowd.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Lady Vols legend Candace Parker was in attendance for Tennessee football's top-15 matchup against Alabama fresh off her retirement from the WNBA. "It feels like home," Parker said. "Every time I come back it's just another feeling of being at home and seeing everybody and being proud to wear orange. It's surreal, honestly."

Tennessee football vs Alabama brought out a long list of Vols greats, including the national title baseball team.
