We have a really neat new feature exclusively here at SportsRadioWNML.com! It’s called Rocky Top Traditions. It’s presented by People’s Home Equity.

This week’s Rocky Top Traditions (3 & 4) bring you back to the accomplishments of Gene McEver and looks at General Neyland’s Grave. Listen to those in this post below.

A VOL for Life. Why does University of Tennessee sports mean so much to so many? For some it’s cherished memories of afternoons in Neyland Stadium beating Bama or Florida. For others it’s being huddled around a radio with family pulling for our beloved teams. Through the years we tell our friends and family about these games, people and victories. We’re proud to be Tennessee Vols!

Sports Radio WNML, the flagship station of the Vol Network, and John Wilkerson are proud to bring these moments to life in a new series called “Rocky Top Traditions.” John is a Knoxville native, the co-host of Tennessee’s longest running sports show and the voice of Tennessee baseball. His knowledge of the history of all Tennessee sports is unmatched, and he has the rare ability to bring a story to life.

Check back soon for the next two exclusive presentations of Rocky Top Traditions presented by People’s Home Equity!
