KNOXVILLE, Tenn — No. 18 Tennessee is looking for a big upset this weekend against No. 1 Georgia.

The game has the fan base excited and celebrities like Dolly Parton will be present.

Vol baseball head coach Tony Vitello had a press conference as the fall season wrapped up and he couldn't contain his excitement about Parton being at the game.

"She was on the 'Howard Stern Show' yesterday. I called in for the first time in my life to try and let her know how much she does for the state of Tennessee. I got rejected," Vitello said on Thursday. Maybe I will get to say hello to her in person. The Kansas City Chiefs can have Taylor Swift all they want. We'll take Dolly Parton on Saturday."

Vitello is an avid Tennessee football fan, who shows up to every home game he can and sometimes travels on the road for games as well.

The Vols play Georgia at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday inside Neyland Stadium.
