If it weren't for my father having a procedure in the am, I would be at the game. I had an interesting conversation with my niece’s new father in law on Monday when we celebrated Christmas in Texas. He is director of player personnel for a successful pro team. He had a super bowl ring on that was pretty cool to see and had more at home! He offered to call someone for me to get tix when he found out I was a Vol.

We discussed Vols-Clemson game, NIL, drafting, opting out, etc. He did say teams do notice when players opt out and the pros hate NIL. He was quite familiar with the Vols, Heupel, Hooker, etc. He is a big Heupel fan because he recruited him to play. He really felt the Vols would be all over Clemson and said Milton should be able to take care of things.

It was just really cool to hear someone knowledgeable from the “outside” talk about the Vols. He said Josh was the real deal and will take us to the promised land!

Just wanted to share, otherwise watching fsu-ok, want to catch Dobbs w/Titans at 8:15 then gotta watch my husband’s Longhorns🙄

At the office till noon tomorrow. Grabbing a fried bologna for the road from a brewery next door. Then driving over from Tampa. Family’s flying down from Knoxville tomorrow and meeting at the stadium.

Hope to see lots of the good orange and a big ol’ frown on Daboo’s face at the end of the night. Go Vols!

Not sure what part of town that’s in. We’re at a Mexican place called Solluna right across from the beach. There’s a place nearby called the Rock Bar that looks pretty wild. Lol.

Just got in from our favorite brewpub...if you're ever in Spencer, IN stop in at Civilian Brewing Corps. You'll thank me later.

Got some chicken chili in the crockpot for tomorrow evening. Same chicken chili we had for the Ball State game - might be our new tradition.

Excited to see a glimpse of what the 2023 squad will be and a big win. GO VOLS !!!

I just had to go and check out the Martin Westview basketball girls, to see how good they were. They are 13-0, and are pretty good. Ready to go for tomorrow night. Let’s roll!

Listening to the Dobbs/Cowboys game. First NFL game I've tuned into for 3 years. Dobbs is battling in spite of what sounds like a terrible OL and Receivers. I sure wish Bob was calling this game! 😂
