BOB & BERT SPEAK AT THE BIG ORANGE TIPOFF CLUB TODAY!

Don't forget to join us today for our big luncheon meeting at Calhoun's on the River in Downtown Knoxville, Wednesday, January 16, 2008. The Big Orange Tip-off Club is proud to have Bob Kesling & Bert Bertelkamp, the Voices of the Vols, the UT men's basketball broadcasting team, as our featured speakers. The buffet line will open at 11 a.m.

If you have not already done so, please download the attached membership form, fill it out, & bring it with you with your 2008 membership dues today. We had several people who came last week thinking they had paid their dues who had not. We offered a joint membership in our club & the Knoxville QB Club last fall, but if you did not take advantage of that, please make sure that your Big Orange Tipoff Club dues have been paid so that we can continue to bring you the nation's best speakers. For your convenience, please also note that you can pay your dues online by credit card via the Paypal link we have established on our website at www.utfan.com/tipoff

Also, please be aware that our next bus road trip will be to Athens, Georgia, on Saturday, February 16, 2008, to see our men put an old fashioned East Tennessee dawg-whuppin' on the Bulldogs that afternoon at 3 p.m. This will be day-only trip. Our first day trip to the Xavier game in Cincinnati and the overnite trip we took to Columbia for the South Carolina men's & women's games last weekend were both smashing successes, & everyone had a super time, so don't be left out of this one as we take over Stegeman Coliseum & make it a sea of Big Orange for the third year in a row. If you want to sign up for that trip, please do so by downloading the attached signup sheet & bringing it with you to today's meeting with your check or by doing so online by credit card at our website, www.utfan.com/tipoff

We will also have Coach Bruce Pearl to speak briefly at today's meeting, just a day before our big home game with the Vanderbilt Commodores Thursday night, as well as honor the local high school players of the week with the Knoxville News-Sentinel. We will also be honoring some of our corporate sponsors and recognizing some of the local charities we support. Don't forget to take advantage of some great prizes by participating in our weekly Pick'N'Win contest as well.

Our men's team is ranked #3 in the RPI nationally and will be starting a 3-game stretch in which we will be televised nationally all 3 times on ESPN & CBS. The Ohio State home game on Saturday afternoon will be followed by the big road game at Lexington to face the Kentucky Wildcats. A member of the 2nd-ranked Lady Vol basketball staff will also be on hand today to discuss their own road trip to Lexington Thursday night, as well as their always-big home game against Vanderbilt that is coming up Sunday afternoon. Never before have both our men's & women's teams been ranked so high at the same time nationally. It's truly a great time to be a Tennessee basketball fan!

We look forward to having you there with us for all of the fun & excitement. With both our UT men's & women's teams being ranked so high nationally, we expect to have another standing-room-only crowd today, so make sure & get there early!

GO BIG ORANGE!
