O and W Experience....

Had an amazing weekend in Knoxville with my wife and daughter. Ran into Erik Ainge and Arian Foster. Got autographs and pictures. Didn't have much time to speak with them. They were in a rush but it was a really cool experience.

I have separate signed and framed pennants of each UT head coach back to Doug Dickey. I got Butch Jones to sign one so the streak continues. Also ran into Dave Hart and spent a few minutes speaking to him. He is extremely confident CBJ will get this program turned around.

Anyone else have a good story or pics from Sat?

The whole weekend was awesome. Posting pics tomorrow but hung with VFLs all weekend. Arian and Ainge were at my tailgate until someone tweeted it or something and they got swarmed so we headed to the field. Met and hung with more VFLs from so many eras my head is still spinning. My wife was probably more in awe of meeting and talking to Martin from Duck Dynasty than anything else this weekend.

Either way I have met and done a lot of cool Vol stuff but watching this game on the sidelines definitely is tops on my list.

No our passes are in C20, that was my first G10 experience. The early games we come by boat but after first week of Oct or so we park. When we went to pull into our usual spot they said it was by pass only, which we weren't informed of. UT dropped the ball in so many ways. There could have been 80k+ there if it were handled differently marketing wise and as a donor and VFL I got no info except "free parking and entry" with no notice we needed a pass. We hung out with Erik and Arian all weekend and had a party planned in C20 until we found out we couldn't park in the spots we pay for.

Agree, parking was so bad, we thought of bailing, made the long walk instead. Then, upon arrival, knew we needed to hit the ramps, got our seats and had to go back down a level to get food, missing the second quarter. Don't ask everybody to come and be ill prepared when they show. Amateur hour imo.

I had a great experience as well! I got to meet A.J. Johnson and have him sign the base of my latest custom figure. I loved his reaction when he saw it! His linebacker teammates were pretty envious!
