Hi folks! An Aggie stopping by, it looks like I can't start a new thread so I was looking for some place to post this.
Just wanted to say thanks to all the Vols who traveled. I was really surprised by how many showed up, and even more surprised when I arrived at my seats on Saturday and I found myself surrounded by about 50% Tennessee fans.
I was a little nervous about that, having had plenty of frustrating, annoying, or downright aggravating experiences with blocks of visiting fans in the past. But to my pleasant surprise the Vols fans around us were nothing but class. There was plenty of cheering, plenty of singing Rocky Top, but everyone around us was friendly and a good sport. Through all the ups and downs of this nutty game, the guys around us were genuinely fun to watch the game with.
My family has had season tickets for 10+ years. On the way out, my Dad and I agreed, we'd happily welcome that Volunteer crowd back for every game. Honestly, y'all were the nicest bunch of visiting fans we've run across.
Good luck next week against Alabama. I'm pretty sure if you guys hadn't self-destructed you would have beaten us soundly, and I'm hoping you guys have a clean game next week and a big win over the Tide!
