Accept if you live in the great Rocky Top state of Tennessee! You bleed orange. Today is September 1st, Labor Day and the first game day of the University of Tennessee Vols. (Volunteers for those of you out-of-staters) Everybody and I mean everybody including babies and dogs, had some sort of orange UT garb on today. I have never seen so much orange in all my life. I went to the grocery store and this cute little four month old had on an orange onsie and matching "I'm a little Vol" bib.
This is Tennessee at it's finest, folks.
Nevertheless, I was the only person in the entire Food City who was not wearing something that was either orange or had a UT logo on it. I felt a little out of place. But here is the kicker... the game is an away game and still people are gathering around the campus to watch the big game at sports bars and such.
Thus is my intro to Tennessee football. Other than that, life is pretty good here. Amy is still not sleeping through the night, Eric likes to drop his trousers and poop in our backyard just like the dogs, and I am trying to figure out what shade of orange I will look somewhat decent in for next game day.
