"It's FOOTBALL time in Tennessee!!" - these words alone elicit chills and thoughts of Fall afternoons, roaring fans and the wonderful sound of Rocky Top playing endlessly. It is, without question, my favorite time of year.
Football season in the South... I'm sure there are similar seasons elsewhere, but it's a special time. Friendships grow, rivalries are renewed and fans hold their collective breath and pray to their higher beings for that one awesome play that puts their team on top.
School fight songs quickly replace the everyday ring tone on cell phones and kids - just like at Christmas time - have dreams filling their heads (this time of Quarterbacking or Cheering, rather than Sugar plums and toys).
Whether you hunker down with the UGA Dawgs, purposely misspell "Go" for LSU (GEAUX TIGERS!) or wear on everyone's nerves with obnoxious colors, coaches and players (most commonly Florida teams)- right now, we're all unbeaten!
It's GREAT to be a Tennessee Vol! Let's play ball!
