5 awesome Candace Parker photos back in Knoxville for Tennessee-Alabama
Saturday’s game between No. 7 Alabama and No. 11 Tennessee was appointment TV as a Week 8 rivalry game that could have a significant impact on the College Football Playoff picture.
Of course, it’s a big game no matter what — cigars and all — and the college football fans who were lucky enough to attend the game in person at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville got to see WNBA star Candace Parker hype up the Tennessee crowd.
One of the greatest players ever, Parker is a Tennessee alum who went on to become a three-time WNBA champion before retiring ahead of the 2024 season.
“It feels like home,” Parker said about going back to Knoxville. “Every time I come back, it’s just like another feeling of just being at home and seeing everybody and being proud to wear orange. It’s surreal, honestly.”
"It feels like home."
