Tennessee guard Jordan Gainey provided a glimpse of how valuable he could be in the Vols' offense on Monday:

"It meant a lot," said Zeigler on the applause."People been saying it to me, how would I feel if the crowd stood up and gave me a large ovation? I honestly didn't know how I could picture it in my head. When it happened, it was a really good feeling. Like I said earlier, it was just, felt good just to be back in front of everyone being able to play."

This hotel is currently going for $3,800 for the same two nights. Perfect location. Walkable to downtown bars and restaurants, Neyland Stadium, and the strip.

I will transfer the hotel to your name and will provide documentation of doing so. Venmo or Paypal.

Pair of Premium Lower Level Sidecourt 2023-24 UT Men's Basketball Season Tickets & Garage Parking Pass For Sale - BEST OFFER!


I have only one pair left of premium lower level sidecourt UT men's season basketball tickets for sale for the upcoming 2023-24 season, as well as a season parking pass adjacent to the arena. The tickets are in Section 123, only 22 rows up, across from the UT bench, plush chairback club seats.


Very easy gate & elevator access & very close to concessions & restrooms. The season parking pass is in the coveted G10 garage, so you are just within steps of the gate. In addition, I have up to 8 SEC Tournament Tickets in Nashville for sale for $1,000 each.


These tickets are being sold for only $6,950 for the pair, which is a bargain, & I will include the parking pass in the deal. UT has none for sale like mine at any price & there are none available on Ticketmaster or Stubhub or any of the other secondary ticket market sites as good as mine, either. I will sell the parking pass by itself for only $1,500, a bargain as well.


You can't buy seats this good from UT at any price, since sideline lower level seats have a nearly 100% renewal rate, so none are available. These are absolutely some of the best seats in the house, right on top of the action. You also get first right of refusal to buy the same seats from me annually every year, as long as you pay for them in January of each year when I have to make my donation to secure them.


These have been in my name for 40 years & will be in my name for decades to come, so you are assured of getting your tickets every year, as well as the parking pass. Please contact me if you want them. PLEASE MAKE ME YOUR ABS0LUTE HIGHEST & BEST TOP DOLLAR CASH OFFER FOR THEM! Thanks & Go Vols! Email me to JMH2@ICX.NET
