"Even though Coach Dungy will not be on the sidelines, the winning atmosphoere and environment that he created will still carry through in our building," said Manning during an appearance with Fulmer and former Vol quarterback Bobby Scott at The Ridges to help promote Johnson City's Niswonger Children's Hospital. "We'll still feel his presence on the sideline. But change is part of it. Our players are prepared to deal with it. We've been working hard and look forward to having a good season."

And more quotes from #18 including something about the SEC:

"The dad-gum conference has gotten so tough," added Manning. "It's like the NFL. It's the closest thing to the NFL, that's how tough it is."

"Dad-gum"...pure Peyton!
