Knoxville Police scanner: Tennessee fans lighting couches, car on fire in celebration
By Jason Hall
Published:
Tennessee defeated Florida, 38-28, to end its 11-year losing streak Saturday.
It was arguably the Vols’ biggest win in years, so naturally, fans have been partying like its 1998. Perhaps a bit too much for the local Knoxville law enforcement’s liking.
According to the Knoxville Police scanner, there are several things being lit on fire, including two couches and a car.

The Knoxville Police also made a joke in response to Florida cornerback Quincy calling Tennessee defeating Florida as unlikely as a “duck pulling a truck.”
I think I just saw a DUCK pull a truck across Shields-Watkins Field! Congrats @Vol_Football @UTCoachJones #GBO #VFL pic.twitter.com/oYJQtG6tjM
