With the Gators and ESPN's College Gameday coming to town, you'd think Big Orange fever would have already swept the town, but that's really not the case down at Volunteer Landing.

Vol Navy boaters haven't seen any kind of increase in boats this week. In fact, one boater said he remembers seeing many more boats before other big games in the past.

But make no mistake, Vol Navy faithful say the Tennessee River will be full of orange and white by Friday.

"But you know, it is a big game coming in. I do probably think there will be more boats coming in Thursday and Friday, and it'll probably be a good time Friday night. But so far it doesn't look like there's a whole lot more coming in that usual," said Lee Lewis.

Neyland Stadium is one of two college stadiums that can be reached by boat. The other is Washington's Husky Stadium.
