VN,

I recently did all the big life changes- got married and moved to Colorado. Wish me luck.

Couple of things I could use your help on:

1. Any vols in the area? I became a recluse and live at 10,000 feet in the mountains west of Denver- would love to catch a game or two with some folks if we have any local presence.

2. Mountain time is stupid - espn doesn’t like to tell what time things come on (had issues catching the baseball World Series because it doesn’t tell time zone- does it usually post everything in eastern?

3. My username is GeorgiaVol22- has been for a very long time- should I change it with the move? Ha

4. I’ll be in Knoxville for USCe and TAMU- gonna be the yearly thing for me and my brother to catch a game or two together. Now that I’m not local does anyone have thoughts on hotels to try to book- never had to do that before? Should I head out to the outskirts or try to make it happen downtown?

I would scrub Georgia off my name as soon as possible, 😆

Supposedly no one here is actually excited about him.

Yeah Coloradans care about the Broncos and nothing else when it comes to football. Total opposite of the South. You’ll see some Nebraska fans here and there though.

Congrats on the move. There are parts of Georgia that certainly have their charms, but I’d take the front range 9.5 out of 10 times. How far out of Denver are you? I doubt any of the mountain towns along I-70 have much Vol presence, but Boulder or Golden might. Denver proper would for sure.

I’m 50 minutes west of Denver - about 30 minutes from red rocks down 285

I used to have to frequent Denver for work reasons and unfortunately spent a few football Saturdays there.

Indeed there is-or at least was an alumni group that met at a sports bar for the games. If memory serves, it would have been a bit south of downtown.

I met up with them twice I believe and did a few games at just random bars.

Unfortunately,, this has been 10-12 years ago so I have no other information handy. I found them via a FB group-or considering the time that has elapsed perhaps even Myspace. The group watching the games was fairly small-maybe 15 people.

Next time I am at my storage bin, I will pull out the laptop I would have been using at the time and see if I can find some contact info for you.

You might also want to contact the alumni association-or I am sure by now they probably have a pretty decent website. Not sure about the one for UT but my GT one has a listing of alumni groups and contact info pretty much everywhere in the world

Nice, that must be a glorious area to live in. And very cool that you can cruise right into south Denver without getting on the interstate. There are some decent amenities in that Highlands Ranch/Englewood area, but it’s very chill. Englewood always reminded me of a small southern town. I’d highly recommend parking in Englewood and taking the train if you want to visit LoDo.

We do love it for sure.

Been to Englewood a couple of times already! Cool town- were actually headed down to Ouray for the weekend- gonna check out Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Telluride.

I’m old so don’t do the party scene much. We stay around Farragut and catch the bus at the School. They drive you close and pick you up close…. Visit the Black Canyon why your out there, Our favorite place in Colorado.

There’s a Vol bar in Denver for Tennessee games but I Don’t know the name. Maybe someone can help you out.

Spent a winter at a ranch in Granby, CO. The hot sulphur springs nearby were cool to visit. Beautiful area.
