Knoxville! Knoxville! Knoxville!
Corryn and I went to the football game by ourselves on Saturday (Lisa was sick). Corryn had two words to say when Lisa asked her how she liked the football game: “Yay Tennessee!!!!”
We were a little bit late for the game and missed some of the pre-game festivities. We still had a very good time though. Everytime I go to a game at Neyland Stadium I am impressed by how cool the fans are there. Everyone wanted Corryn to enjoy her first game. One guy gave her a pom pom…another lady showed her how to use it and tried to teach her the words to Rocky Top (In case you didn’t hear…there was plenty of opportunity for the singing of Rocky Top during Saturday’s game.) One guy even offered to stand on the stairs next to our row to keep the sun out of Corryn’s eyes but got in trouble with the ushers.
Corryn was a little disappointed that everyone started to leave the game at halftime. We ended up leaving at the end of the 3rd quarter. The score was 48-0 and we figured the game was pretty much over. Next time we’ll try to go to a game that poses more of a challenge to the Vols.
Its been a while since I was in Neyland and I remembered how much I love going there. Walking out it was hard not to remember the first time I saw a game there (look at #76).
Corryn is going to do her best to make sure we don’t go a year without catching a game in Knoxville. When we were driving home she saw a stucture that looked a little bit like a football stadium and she said, “Dad, can we go there and watch football?! Yay Tennessee!!!”.

I stopped listening to the game at half time too.
