On one of the only days of the year when there are no major professional sports being played, ESPN airs its annual ESPYs award show.
On Wednesday night, former Tennessee quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning will host the event, and Volunteers coach Butch Jones will be watching.
Jones posted a video on Wednesday wishing the ex-Vol luck and telling him all of Vol nation will be watching his performance:
Best of luck to The Sheriff as he hosts tonight's #ESPYS in Los Angeles!

The ESPYs air at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday night on ABC. The Sheriff has experience hosting Saturday Night Live and other TV appearances under his belt, so he’ll almost certainly do a great job as the show’s host.
