Well I can honestly say that yesterday was a game I won't soon forget! Last night was UT's opening game of the season- we played Montana. We got to campus several hours before kick-off to visit a few tail-gates, see Derek Dooley and the players in the Vol Walk, and watch the band march into the stadium. Here are a few pictures from our afternoon:
We are so excited to be back in Knoxville for this!
Annie, my youngest sister, came with us!
Mitchell and Susan were with us too :)
Pride of the Southland
love this!
It was so incredibly hot, around 90 degrees, but the weather could not have been better...or so we thought!
Here is a picture from our seats right before the start of the game; however, the game did not start promptly at 6:00pm when it was suppose to because of a severe thunderstorm that came through literally as the game was about to start. The band cleared the field and then we heard the announcer over the PA advising everyone to seek shelter. So at this point, we went back out to the concourse but with all the wind and rain we all got soaked! Because of all the lightening the game didn't actually begin until 7:40pm. I of course being the baby that I am at times wanted to go home but Alan convinced me to stay and once the rain actually stopped it wasn't that bad and we were there to see the Vols pull off their first win of the season.
Since so many people had left, we were able to slip down to the lower level where Alan's parents sit and watch the game with them. I will say...it's great to be a Tennessee Vol!!!
