ROCKY TOP TENNESSEE 2015 PRESEASON ANNUAL NOW AVAILABLE

The 7th edition of our annual UT football preseason magazine is now available, and as always, it's all Vols, cover to cover, and 100% ad-free.

This year's magazine hits the newsstands in East Tennessee and Nashville on Tuesday, June 2, but as a Rocky Top Talk reader, you can get it right now, and with some shipping incentives to boot (assuming they arrive at the store today as expected).

There are a couple of different items/packages available:

1. The Magazine and RTT T-Shirt Combo. Order both the magazine and the Official Bluetick State t-shirt, and SAVE $8.00 ($3.00 plus another $4.95 in shipping). A great price plus FREE SHIPPING and delivered right to your door. You even have three options for how we prioritize the printing of your shirt. If you order today, you'll probably even get them both before the magazine hits the newsstands.

2. The Magazine right now. Order Rocky Top Tennessee 2015 online, get it shipped the next business day (once it arrives, which we expect to be 5/21/15), AND get $1.50 off our standard shipping price.

Both special offers are applied automatically once you put the items in your cart and calculate shipping. The magazine will only be available on newsstands in East Tennessee and Nashville. So if you live outside of those areas, order online. As a matter of fact, we'll give you an extra virtual flying shoulder bump if you order online even if you do live in East Tennessee.

3. You can also get just the Bluetick State t-shirt, if you'd like to do that. You can choose between a men's ring spun cotton tee (our recommendation), a ladies v-neck (also ring spun cotton), and a men's economy cotton tee. You can also choose how you want us to prioritize the printing of your shirt. The standard time frame is 10 business days, but choosing the "Hurry" option means we'll prioritize your order over non-hurry orders and try to ship it within five business days, but it's not guaranteed. And if you choose "Rush Guaranteed," we'll print your t-shirt and ship it within five business days or we'll refund your rush fee.

So what's in the magazine this year? Glad you asked.
