Secret service, cheap beer and Arch Manning: Tennessee prepares for college football chaos, with Trump visit

KNOXVILLE, TN - Secret Service officials stood outside Neyland Stadium on Friday afternoon putting the final touches on their plans for President Trump's arrival to the biggest college football game of the weekend.

Roads were starting to be closed, students were roaming around Tennessee's campus on their way from class, while a number of Texas Longhorn fans took in the sights on this beautiful day before a top-15 showdown in the SEC.

It's all adding up for a monumental afternoon in Knoxville, as makes his first ever stop at the University of Tennessee in hopes of beating his uncle Peyton's beloved Vols.

Essentially, this game has everything you could ask for in college football. And, if the previous two weeks in Austin and Oxford are any indication, we are in for one heck of an afternoon.

As you made your way around the beautiful Tennessee campus, it wasnt hard to pick up on the anticipation of Saturday's game. For only the fifth time in each team's history, the Vols and Longhorns will play each other, with this one taking place inside the historic Neyland Stadium.

Standing inside the Tennessee apparel store, fans ran into former wide receiver Joey Kent.

Around other parts of campus, Peyton Manning took time to visit with students, one day after country star Ella Langley brought her expansive tour to the Vols basketball arena.

But, there is also something to be said for the visiting fans who are lucky enough to make the trip to Tennessee for the game on Saturday. There were plenty of Texas fans wearing burnt orange roaming the beautiful campus, throwing up the signature 'Hook em' as they ran into some of their own.

For the first time this season, Arch Manning and the Longhorns have hit the road, with 102,000 fans waiting for their arrival on Saturday morning.

"This place is gorgeous, and I'm not afraid to pay an opponent a compliment," one Texas fan told OutKick. "I've been to a number of SEC campuses, but this one might take the cake on Saturday (besides DKR). Everyone has been so nice to us since we arrived on Thursday, and the downtown scene with what i think is 'Market Square' is gorgeous.

"But, it will end up being a whole lot better when we leave here with a win."

At just about every corner around Neyland Stadium, you could see security preparing for Donald Trump's arrival.

Meetings were being held outside Tennessee's cathedral, while it wasnt hard to notice officers walking the perimeter, even if they were plain-clothed officers.

The security has obviously been increased ahead of President Donald Trump touching down just miles away from campus.

Tennessee officials were so hellbent on getting fans inside the stadium before kickoff, amid the increased law enforcement traffic, that they are offering half-priced concessions from 9 a.m. ET to 10 a.m. ET inside Neyland Stadium, including alcohol.

As for fans and students on the Tennessee campus, the presence of President Donald Trump brought a mixed bag of feelings.

"Why in the world would he (Trump) choose this game? He should have gone to Florida or something," one student told OutKick. "This place is going to be a traffic nightmare already. But, I guess he has to garner some more support for a bill (Protect College Sports Act) that does not help the everyday citizen."

Another student, who found out about Trump coming to campus on Friday morning, was excited about being in the same stadium as a sitting president.

"Look, I'll be able to
