We had to know this was coming, didn't we?
The official Tennessee baseball Twitter account released a video Tuesday night starring Volunteers coach Tony Vitello and legendary Vols quarterback Peyton Manning. The video played off Manning's final NFL years with the Denver Broncos, when he often would yell "Omaha!" before the snap.
Vitello's Vols are headed to Omaha, Nebraska, for this weekend's start to the College World Series. Tennessee is making its first CWS appearance since 2005 and will open play Sunday afternoon (2 on ESPN2) against Virginia.
On his "Peyton's Places" series that has aired on ESPN Plus, Manning explained that when he played for Denver, the Broncos typically would call two plays in the huddle and that Omaha "meant going to Plan B."
Here is the video:
