I'm Wearing Orange

As my blood bleeds crimson, I am wearing orange (which is removable). Saturday I had my first experience as a Tennessee fan, or as I like to call it, a Tennessee Supporter. Never have I ever had the thought of wearing anything different than houndstooth and crimson but of course I just had to find the most wonderful guy who has only 1 flaw....he is a UT fan (ugh). I've bitten the bullet and have started wearing orange.

We headed up to Knoxville around noon where we would park at Daniel's friends house very close to campus. In orange, cowboy boots, and Tennessee cozies, we grabbed our cooler full of beer and headed out to tailgate! It was a late game so we had lots of time to socialize with all of his buddies, and we also met up with my cousin, Leigha. Being an Alabama fan, I have only been to UT during the Alabama Tennessee games so there was no wondering around campus for me. But this time was really different. Daniel took me to Fiji Island were we met up with friends we haven't seen since at a wedding this summer. 

We also took a look at the newly remodeled Pike house. I felt like I was back in college again when Daniel took me to the boys community bathroom to use it. With my beer in hand, I gracefully went into a stall and shut the door as if I were doing nothing out of the ordinary. I heard the stall beside me become occupied; I looked to see which way the feet were...it was a girl. I must admit, I looked up to make sure no one was peeking over. We all know how drunk college boys can get! I got to see so many things that were important to him and that he enjoyed while at UTK: the room he used to live in, his class picture on the wall, and of course when roaming the hall we saw many of the guys he spent years with. I definitely got a glimpse of Daniel's life as a Pike.

It's 7:45 which means, "It's Football Time In Tennessee!" Up to out seats we go! You can't go to a game without getting a hotdog, which by the way were great! They also were great with our snuck in whisky and coke!  As you know, the game didn't end the way we wanted it to. During the game there were many exciting times, disappointing times, and of course Rocky Top times! As I bare the orange and sing Rocky Top, I can't help but think my life has changed as I know it! Really, I had a wonderful time. I look forward to wearing more orange in the future!
