Tennessee – 63 / Western Kentucky – 7
I will be the first to admit it…my blood runneth orange. I am a die-hard University of Tennessee Volunteers fan. I have been my entire life. Actually, it is pretty much a requirement if you plan to survive in my family. Ironically enough, our family reunion always falls on Vol football opening day. So today was the reunion and the Vols first game of the season. Half of my family at the reunion were wearing UT orange, myself included. We had radios everywhere listening to the game during the dinner.
Today also marked the first game under the direction of our new Head Coach…Lane Kiffin. He is only a couple years older than me and now he is heading up the UT Football team. I will say this, if every game this season goes like today then all the sceptics will be silenced. Lets hope for the best.
I thought I would share some pictures from todays game.
