...and I couldn't be more excited.
But for some reason, there are 20,000 tickets remaining. This is inexcusable. I've seen some blame the weather (yeah, because it's never hot in Tennessee). Others blame TV. Boloney. The Nashville Sports Council hasn't promoted it enough? Really? Since when to Vol fans need promotion? This is a "neutral site" game in our state capitol, perhaps the most important recruiting area for our program. It is the first game in which Tennessee will be ranked in forever. First game with Nike. Most talented Tennessee team in almost a decade. And, according to many, the first game of what is to be the season that launches us back among the contenders in the SEC. NO EXCUSE not to attend this game if you aren't doing something else.
East Tennesseans...I'm constantly having to remind you all that the Vols aren't just an East Tennessee team. That Neyland Stadium gets over 100K on Saturdays because of a HUGE number of fans from Middle and West Tennessee who make the trip. Not just for the Georgias and the Alabamas, but for the Marshalls, the Georgia States, the Fresnos, etc. I know. I'm one of them and I know many others. So if you're truly as loyal and dedicated as those Middle and West Tennessee fans, you can make the drive to Nashville to cheer on the Vols in their opener and show who Nashville really belongs to. It's just one game.
Middle and West Tennesseans...this is also your chance to show that Nashville and Middle Tennessee is Big Orange Country. That UT is not just an East Tennessee school, but it represents THE ENTIRE STATE. Our state.
Lastly, empty seats in Nashville will just look bad. It will signify that we still aren't there yet. I'm ready to be there. Four of us are going. We're tailgating. We're making a day of it. And we're going to cheer on our talented Vols....the team I've been waiting to see for almost a decade...against a good Bowling Green team picked to win its division. Y'all get tickets and get to Nissan Stadium on 9/5.
