There are precisely 500 hours left until It's Football Time in Tennessee (7 p.m. Central today to 3 p.m. Central in Nashville on Sep 5th)!
Sounds like forever, doesn't it? I mean, ... even one hour ... seems like a long time ... second hand ticking along ... so slowly...
But consider this:
--> you'll sleep through about 168 of those hours;
--> you'll be having a nice meal, or a rushed breakfast or an over-rated lunch through about 42 of them;
--> you'll be working (okay, reading VolNation while pretending to work) through 120 or so;
--> you'll be showering through another 8 or 10;
--> you'll be hoping to get lucky with your significant other through 24 to 27 minutes of the wait (newlyweds, multiply by 100);
...and so you really only have to find a way to live through about 160 hours worth of undistracted anticipation!
You could go to 58 movies to fill the time...
or
You could host 16 evening-long poker sessions with your buds, combined with two weekend-long visits to Bass Pro expos...
or
You could write 288 posts on VolNation and read 2,416 posts by others. Hehehe...
Hmm...
Well, here's the good news.
While you were reading this, somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute passed (Bama fans: 4 minutes or so).
So there is hope.
It can't get here soon enough.
Tick.
Tick.
Go Vols!
