The most Tennessee story you’ll read today.

What more do you need to hear than this?

A man who stole $756 worth of goods from Walmart yesterday said he did so to pay off a bet he lost on Saturday’s UT football game.

Too bad for him he’s not a football player.

    Right! The Knox cops would have had him autograph some of the merchandise to them before they took him to a nearby bar for drinks and later returned him to UT out the back door.

    Was this man wearing orange pants and did he have amazing hair?

    That could be a little more Tennessee, truthfully. If it was Bray, and he was robbing them to pay for a bet against the Vois.
