In 1996, the night before the University of Tennessee played the University of Memphis a friend of mine decided to go to the Tennessee hotel to see if we could see any players I brought with me a UT mini helmet. While looking at UT merchandise who should come out but Peyton Manning. He was the nicest, genuine great guy. I asked him to sign my helmet and he gladly signed it. I may not be the UT fan anymore, I will always be a Manning fan.
