Oh Lord,

We are here together on this site in our support and love of a great learning institution and ask your blessings for the young men who who go forth from it.

Thank you for all the graces and blessings you have bestowed upon us, spiritual and temporal: our faith and religious heritage. We thank you for watching over the young players this season. We thank you for the food and shelter, our health, the loves we have for one another, our family and friends.

We ask, Lord, that you give strength and wisdom to Coach Jones who is charged with leading so many young men in such an important part of their lives, that they may learn from his example and be the best they can be in every aspect of their lives.

Lord, please grant us continued graces and blessing throughout the coming year.

This we ask in the Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Savior.

Amen.

...P.S. if UT doesn't do better next year, I just assume you hate UT football and I will promptly convert to Buddhism.

Amen.

Not related, but I am new to posting and unable to start a thread. Hopefully one of you will think this is worthy and post it in a separate thread for me.

I have a second-grader son who, through his tears, has made me very proud. Jack has only started getting into football in the last month or so and has now been routinely watching UT games on TV with me. We live in Nashville. On Monday, as the kids in his class lined up to go into the school building to start the day, the teacher in charge asked anyone who is a Tennessee fan to raise a hand. My son proudly did so. The teacher, obviously a Vanderbilt fan, then instructed the Vols fans to move to the front of the line and head on into the building first since they had had such a disappointing weekend. My son, sensing a trick, did not go in but stayed in his place. The teacher then instructed the remaining students, the Vandy fans, to go inside.

When I got home my son told me about what had happened, then he started crying profusely. "I didn't understand what the teacher was doing so I didn't walk in first. Now everybody thinks I'm a Vanderbilt fan." I told my son it was an honest mistake and I know he loves Tennessee. Jack, however, was inconsolable. I even offered to give him a piggy-back ride upstairs to show him how proud I am of him. He would have none of it, feeling ashamed to be associated with Vandy fans.

Even though he was at his lowest, I have never been so proud of him. For him to love his team that much at such a young age made me feel like I must be doing something right in the way I'm raising him. And to top it off not wanting to have anything to do with Vandy......Coach Cafego would have been proud too.

Thank you for your post. Very well said and needed. I feel as though you have spoken for even those of us who, shall we say, need a little work in the prayer department.

Since it seems you have a connection could you please ask him why he's on Alabama's side right now?

Well the Bible says it is blessed to share. I hope God will start sharing some of Bama's wins with us starting next year.
