GoVolsXtra's King Caller Contest

The winner is .... Brian.

Brian dominated the finals, beating Bill No. 2 with 67 percent of the vote.

"I thought I did pretty well," Brian said.

Both contestants were asked last Friday what UT needed to do to beat Florida. Little did they know that it was a trick question. There is no beating Florida.
