Going to Destin on Wednesday so I'll be keeping a lookout for other VFL's
I usually go to Las Vegas labor weekend and there is a good amount of Vol fans at the Mirage sports book. Won't be able to make it this year as that is the weekend of my wedding, but hoping to make it there one weekend of college football. Two years in a row, the Vols have covered my stay in winnings. :good!:
My family and I went to Myrtle Beach the week before Memorial Day weekend. Ran into numerous Vol fans, even met one older gentleman who lives about 20 minutes from us. He wasn't an ex-Vol, but Ramon Sessions, an NBA player, was staying in the same set of condos as us. He had a really nice Ferrari.
I went to Belgium a few years ago for business. I was tired of sit down dinners so I instead walked down to a bar a few blocks from the hotel for food and beers. I had changed into jeans and of course my UT cap. I barely got into the door when the owner of the bar yelled "Rocky Top". He had gone to UT years ago and worked in finance before retiring and buying that bar. He sat with me and I swear that man is as big of a Vol fan as people who grew up in the Foothills. My $ was no good. Needless to say I was dragging the next morning after what seemed to be gallons of beer. Was very cool. I still email him quite a bit, especially during football season and I mail him shirts and new cap every August to get him ready.

That is honestly one of the coolest stories I have ever heard. Go Vols!
Did you tell him to go to hell!?! I'm convinced UGA was involved in a complex CIA plot to take down UT by using Vince's dumb son and Mike Hamilton.Just returned from cigar fest in Burlington NC. Wife wore TENNESSEE shirts everywhere, & it elicited positive remarks; even a Georgia fan who was a vendor said the Vols look good for this year...& apologized for Derek Dooley!
