The crowd is intoxicating with its loud sounds of war and the palpable excitement emenating from the fans that fill the stadium. If you look around, you're bound to see some attractive southern belles in skirts and pearls parading up and down the seat isles. They have their touch of Tennessee orange perfectly cooridinated with the rest of their ensemble. If you find me there though, I'll be the girl with the t-shirt or jersey on, standing up, emersed in every play.
100,000 plus fans come from all walks of life to come together for one cause: to cheer on UT football and scream out, "It's GREAT to BE a Tennessee Vol..." Oh, how I cannot wait to get home and back to the SEC- football at its finest.
Fall is definitely my favorite season. It brings with it beautiful, vibrant colors and crisp, fresh air. It also brings the best sport known to man- American Football. Someone remind me why baseball is supposedly America's Favorite Pasttime?
Fall also brings about Halloween which is the coolest celebration ever. Yes, I still go trick or treating! Maybe these costumes will give you an idea of how much I love watching the sport-
I'm so excited to head south and experience good football again. These Alaskans just don't know how to do it. Who can blame them, though? It's too cold the majority of the year to play outside. As you can imagine, there isn't an abundance of teams to play either. I look forward to spending some time on UT's campus and cheering on my Vols at Neyland Stadium while I'm in town. I was also really excited to see my little brother play for our hometown's high school team, too but he hurt himself right before the first game and is out for the entire season. What a bummer! He was working so hard at practices and lifting. I think he'll preoccupy himself some other way, though.
Looks like a hard life, right? Happy Birthday, Jake (if you're reading)! I love ya and you're easily the best little brother a sister could ask for.
Go Vols!

Your post a few days ago actually inspired this one! I almost linked to you, but I was afraid of sending lots of Gator Haters your way. ;)

FALL IS THE BEST!!! I can't wait to start blogging about all things fall. I love it!
Also, I pretty much bleed purple and gold - so while you're decked out in your Vols gear, I'll be cheering on my Pirates! ^_^ Go ECU! (even though they haven't really "gone" anywhere for the past few years...but 2010 is our year!!).
BTW, I'm adding you on WWF!! I'm "joyewonder"
