Saturday in Knoxville

The ribs drip sauce on my #14 jersey.

I wipe it up as best I can.

Swiperboy is playing in the background.

Christian figured out how to make a bowl out of an apple.

So I'm a little high.

Chris dropped by the tailgate to drop off some Jack Daniels. 

It was his gift to the tailgate.

Shortly we walk towards the stadium.

Cannot miss the Vol Walk. We get as close as we can to the rope but it's not close enough.

A man complains he's been in this spot for an hour. He's not even close to the rope.

I'm buzzing from the Jack Daniels which I drank straight.

I tell him to bug off. 

Walking by the torchbearer and there's the Lady Vols basketball team. 

I yell to Draya making a fool of myself.

I'm tipsy and I really don't care what people think. She greets me and I shake her hand.

We split up when we get to Neyland because we all

have different seats. 

We're early but it's fine.

We make our way to our seats at the edge of the row in the South endzone. 

Chair backs await us and we settle in.

The crowd is already amped but it's freezing cold.

This is the best place to watch football in the entire world.
