Just figured I'd share this.
I HATE thinking about him running through the T for the last time, it hurts my heart.![]()
I know!! That point in the video (around the 7 minute mark) bout made me cry. I hope there's a great turn out for the game. I can't wait to scream my head off when he runs out of the tunnel.I feel that. I usually try to watch the games with my mom, because we're both huge fans of UT. We're big fans of Jennings too, we always talk about him every game. About how hard he plays and how much he gives to this team. It's tough to replace that kind of person, but I can without a doubt say that he gave his all for Tennessee and I respect him so much for that. Really gonna miss him. Can tell he's getting a little emotional thinking about that game and what it means to him. I hope he takes it all in and gives us a hell of a game.
Not sure why but for some reason this made me think of Gene Autry. Yeah, I know, I'm that weird guy. Even I don't understand me.
I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again
This has nothing to do with nothing, but one night in Seattle a million years ago I caught Gene Autry hanging out in the Angels' locker room long after they had ruined the Mariners' first ever baseball game. I was a fledgling sports writer working for a p.m. newspaper. He was the aging, rotund owner of the Angels and drunker than a skunk, high on having hired Joe Rudi in the offseason.
Gene gave me some great, profanity-laced quotes that reporters facing immediate deadlines for morning papers missed.
It made for a much better tale with many dashes replacing letters in cuss words, but it also tarnish some fond childhood memories of an old,
clean-living, singing cowboy.
