This Blog is actually just an excuse for me to have a place to post a few of my myriad and always growing collection of photos! And, a way to keep my family and friends up to date on our activities.

OK, you get three guesses. What are the University of Tennessee colors?
We went to Univ. of Michigan games for over 20 years, but the fans dressed in the "maize and blue" never had the visual impact of the UT fans in their Big Orange. Wow. The entire stadium looked just like this! ( except for one tiny section with the opposing team's fans in it. And they were sort of a washed out greenish-gray.) We think the UM colors were muted by several factors: some wore blue, some wore yellow, and some wore white with blue or yellow on it somewhere. Much less impact. Not to mention that for most of the season in Michigan the fans were wearing heavy jackets or coats over whatever it was they were wearing!

    I'd guess the team colours are orange!

    Looks like a lot of fun. There is something about the atmosphere at live sporting events - the smell of hotdogs and drinking beer in your seat (at least, years ago, we could do that at hockey games; not sure anymore).

    No more beer ... the stadium is on campus. :-(

    But the hot dogs are still the best!
