Peyton Manning + Vols tailgate + Bush's Baked Beans = 'Manning the Grill' giveaway
It's a Vols fan's ultimate dream tailgate: Hang out with Peyton Manning in the shadow of Neyland Stadium surrounded by good friends and good food. And follow it up with tickets to see a great football game.
Bush's Baked Beans is honoring one special dad, father figure or mentor with a "Manning the Grill" tailgate giveaway this year. To enter, fans can create a 30-second video about that special someone in their lives and upload it at bushsmanningthegrill.com.
The winner recieves travel for two to a University of Tennessee football game (technically the contest calls it a college footbal game in Knoxville so we're taking a slight leap here), tickets for two to the game, a tailgate with Manning with up to 10 additional people, a year's supply of Bush's Baked Beans and a gas grill. Runners-up receive merch and grilling essentials.
Entries will be accepted through June 28.
Last year, former Vols and NFL star QB Manning was named a "bean ambassador" for the company, which is based in Knoxville. The multiyear deal in a tounge-in-cheek way elevates Manning to heights only reached by Duke Bush, Bush's famous golden retriever, and Jay Bush, the great-grandson of Bush's founder.
The Hall of Famer starred in a Super Bowl commercial and other spots for the company that started in Tennessee way back in 1908.
