Friend's son committed yesterday to a track & field scholarship at UT.
Kid's grandfather was a decades long football season ticket holder and took me to my first football game in 1987- a comeback win against Vanderbilt after trailing 28-3. A few years later- when I was sophomore at UT, I got their family and me tickets to that memorable football game in Louisville for what remains a grand experience and vivid memory.
His Grandfather and grandmother died several years ago and would be THRILLED to no end that their grandson is now going to wear a Tennessee uniform.
I'm choked up a bit thinking about that this afternoon.
Here's video from the big high school meet last weekend at Tom Black Track.
