Today on Rocky Top: Football Bowl Updates, Vols Golf

Tennessee football bowl and player updates and golf stories headline the Volunteers news on Rocky Top for Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016.

Happy Winter Solstice! It’s the shortest day of the year, which always sparked major holidays to bring light to the darkness. Rocky Top has certainly had its share of darkness in recent weeks.

As we get set to bring you the news in Knoxville, most of it centers around the Vols still getting ready for the Music City Bowl.

The football program is the big story right now, as the bowl game, recruiting, and the prospects of certain key players all factor into this period.

Basketball is still going on as well for both sports.

But for today’s news, we’re going to focus on the outdoor sports, starting with football.
