Even Peyton had trouble getting a ticket

Posted By katie allison granju

You know it’s a big game when Peyton Manning’s having trouble getting tickets:


How big is this game? Earlier this week, UT Coach Bruce Pearl called Memphis Coach John Calipari and asked a favor. It seems that Big Orange icon/Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning wants to attend, but there was one problem.

Manning called Pearl, who called Calipari.

“He was begging for tickets,” Calipari said. “Our athletics director took care of him.”

I guess that makes it official. When Manning has to work the angles for tickets, a basketball game has taken on a life of its own.
