My son and I drove 5 hours to come to the game Saturday. We enjoyed the time and the game, except for the outcome. I only get to see them play about every three or four years. I have no dog in the coaching fight. I just love the Vols. It is my heritage, my memories, and my passion. Win. Lose. Win over a top 10 team. Lose to Wyoming. I was there when Memphis State won. I was at the SEC championships. I was at the Pat Dye Auburn 17-17 tie. I still wear my orange. I still think checkerboards are cool. I supported Doug, Bill, Johnny, and Phillip.
THERE IS NO LOW POINT HERE. Just another opportunity. Another hill to climb. Another way to support our team. Another time to gather ranks.
Go to the games. Give support to the school. Enjoy the weekends. Cheer for the orange and white. Support your school whatever happens. Things are not perfect all of the time. That is real life. Get over it. Grow up. Teach the student atheletes how to behave with YOUR actions. Lead a cheer. Lead the way. And always remember it is always football time in Tennessee as long as we support it with whole hearts.
