Hope springs eternal. I have a lot of faith and sometimes surprised at how things turn out. I am a VFL with a bachelors and a masters degree from the University of Tennessee. My mom and dad, recently passed, were huge Tennessee fans. I remember the years of not being able to beat Bama and then being at the game when we won. I remember Sugar Bowls in New Orleans and going to Orlando for several bowl games. I will never forget the Fulmer years and how good we were. I don't think it is just Tennessee fans but people all over the world when it comes to hate, vitriol, and being ugly towards their neighbors. A minority for sure...but, with the internet they get way more attention than they deserve. Yes, I will watch the games and try to attend a few. I will hope for a great future, lots of wins, championships, and I will not throw in the towel. I'm sure my dad is cheering for the VOLS from heaven and one day I hope to join him there.
