So you think Saturday’s game against Florida at Neyland Stadium isn’t big? Check out this Craigslist ad:

I have bunch to trade for flordia tickets I got a new cva brake down muzzaloader a tackle box of bass fishing stuff got least 175 in it also a iPod with case a us cellular blackberry with otter box and more plz txt 865 585 XXXX need two doesn’t matter what seats

The guy is offering everything but his wife and hound for a couple of seats for the game.

Tennessee slipped into the AP Top 25 this week at No. 23, marking the first time the Vols have been ranked since the 2008 preseason. And after Louisiana-Monroe upset then-No. 8 Arkansas Saturday night, ESPN quickly shuffled its College Gameday plans (No. 2 Alabama vs. No. 8 Arkansas would have easily been the marquee matchup this weekend) and will visit Knoxville Saturday for the Florida-Tennessee game. It’ll mark the first time the popular Saturday football show has been in Knoxville since the 2004 game against Auburn.
