Parker's shift to fullback, should give Tech fans a greater opportunity to
see newcomer Lamont Pegues a redshirt junior transfer from Clemson who was a
high school all-american and the first freshmen to lead the Tigers in rushing

(( MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE IS A CITY OF SOUTHERN ROYALTY. KNOWN FOR EVERYTHING FROM
ITS HOSPITALITY, TO ITS FOOD...TO ITS BLUES.
BUT MOST OF ALL MEMPHIS IS KNOWN
FOR ITS KING.
(COURTESY: ELVIS PRESLEY ENT.)
ELVIS PRESLEY IT SEEMS HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT. ROCK AND ROLL HAD ONE OF ITS
FIRST STARS AND AMERICA HAD A HERO, A LEGEND, AN ICON.
SOT/PAUL STOHR/ELVIS FAN
HE IS MORE POPULAR NOW THAN HE EVER WAS. AND HE IS EVERYWHERE.
IN THE MIDDLE OF BEALE STREET..ACROSS FROM HIS NEW RESTAURANT
HIS RAQUETBALL COURT IS NOW NEWLY COVERED WITH ALL OF HIS INTERNATIONAL
HITS..LIKE THEY JUST TOPPED THE CHARTS YESTERDAY.
IT SEEMS HE NEVER LEFT.
BUT ON A STEAMY HOT DAY IN AUGUST 1977..FANS KNEW THAT HE HAD. SOME RUSHED THE
HEARSE AS IT TRIED TO SQUEEZE INTO THE BACK ENTRANCE OF GRACELAND.
THOUSANDS POURED IN FROM AROUND THE WORLD...CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM ON ELVIS
PRESLEY BOULEVARD.
TWENTY YEARS LATER...LITTLE HAS CHANGED.
FROM DAWN TO DUSK..SOME 400 PEOPLE
AN HOUR LINE UP TO PASS BY HIS GRAVE. MANY NOT EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER
THE KING ALIVE.
LIKE THE PRESIDENT OF HIS TENNESSEE FAN CLUB WHO IS ONLY 16
YEARS OLD. LEE COWAN, CBS NEWS, MEMPHIS.))
