We were invited by Susan's cousin
Bill and his wife Sharon to come to Knoxville and see their family for a weekend
now that we live in Tennessee. Their daughter Lauren will graduate from
there this school year. It was a great trip because UT played a rival game
against the University of Georgia (one of Ian's cousins schools!). Here
are our photos of our trip in the only shade of orange that we are willing to
wear - Tennessee orange - NOT burnt orange from our rival school down in Austin,
TX.
Although we live in this state now
we have to still show that we are Aggies to the core right in front of the
home of Tennessee Football!
Bill, Sharon and Susan pause for a
photo outside a frat house during our walk to the stadium.
Susan, Ian, and second cousins
Christina, and Lauren smile while hanging out at the house.
The walk in a sea of orange to get
to Neyland Stadium.
Enough said.
The home football team arrives
through the T made by the band.
Seats on row 16 just above the
checkerboard endzone. 107,052 in attendance that day for this rivalry
game. That is more than the population of Clarksville, TN where we
live! We don't know if Nyland Stadium becomes the third largest city
in the state - Nashville, Memphis, Nyland? - like Memorial Stadium in
Nebraska does on game day but it must be close...
The Tennessee quarterback prepares
to take the team in to score.
And score they did! Nobody
expected such a large victory out of the Volunteers against a favored
Georgia team. Of course when you go to somebody's home stadium it is a
bit tougher to win as we learned about Nyland Stadium.
Susan relaxes while the Vols fans
cheer and the lost Georgia guy wonders what the heck is happening?
Smokey is a blue tick coonhound and
the Tennessee mascot.
The Pride of the Southland Band.
Not the Aggie band but still pretty good.
A beautiful bright, sunny day to
watch our favorite sport - college football!

park near Laren's apartment.

in a photo with the UT student BEHIND the camera.
Go VOLS!
