In 2005 I took a visit to a dozen southern schools for college for when I graduate HS a year later in 2006. I fell in love with Knoxville, with Tennessee, with the people and the fan base. I've spent 10s of thousands of dollars in the last 12 years on Tennessee gear, tickets, hotel rooms, etc. Alot of time as well. Tonight... I'm deflated. I looked at my three year old son and told him to follow any other team... I've aged too much to wish it on him.
Yall probably have seen me as a homer. Tonight, I realized what is important. my family. I've taken too much time away from them and for what? idk. maybe I've had one too many beers and I'm drowning in hyperbole but it all feels so worthless
