Here’s what’s happening this week in the Chattanooga area.
Bobblehead ranking tracker
The newest addition to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store (store.bobbleheadhall.com) commemorates a University of Tennessee football achievement. The Vols are ranked No. 15 in The Associated Press’ Top 25 preseason poll as well as the American Football Coaches Association coaches poll. The new, first-of-its-kind bobblehead features the mascot Smokey, wearing a football jersey and holding a football on a base with numbered blocks that can be adjusted when Tennessee’s ranking changes. Each is individually numbered to 2,024. The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in December, cost $40, plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8. The Vols will kick off the season Aug. 31 at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville against the Chattanooga Mocs.
