We all know that NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning is a huge Tennessee fan. In fact, you will often see Manning at several Volunteer games throughout the college football season.

One game he definitely will be attending this season, and that's when the Vols meet the Texas Longhorns this upcoming college football season.
The Longhorns will be led by Manning's nephew, Arch. Although Manning loves his alma mater, when it comes to who he will be pulling for, he left no doubt where his loyalties lie.
“One of the kids was asking me earlier who I was going to go,” Manning told Chris Gordy at the Manning Passing Academy. “I said, ‘who do you think?’ and he said that he would go for his school over his relative. I went ‘you and I are different. You and I are wired differently.’ Nothing is more important than your family. Obviously, it’s going to be a huge SEC game. My dad dealt with it when I was in college when Tennessee played Ole Miss. I love my university, my alma mater. Pull for them unconditionally but nothing is more important to me than my family and when you have a nephew playing, I pull very hard for him every single Saturday.”
Manning talked about how Dad Archie dealt with that when the Vols played Ole Miss one season, and naturally, he chose his son over his alma mater.
