Matthew Butler is getting set to play his final game for Tennessee. Thursday’s Music City Bowl against Purdue will be the final time he straps on that Power T helmet, which clearly means quite a bit to him.
Tennessee arrived in Nashville on Sunday, immediately hitting the practice field in a familiar location in the midstate — Vanderbilt Stadium. It has to be somewhat awkward for Vandy, welcoming their biggest rival to town and letting them go through practices for a few days on their own turf.
On Tuesday following Tennessee’s bowl practice, Butler couldn’t help but laugh a little at the situation.
