Purple will never be as pretty as my beloved UT orange, but Geaux Tigers! Tonight I’m thrilled that the university where I first called home won the 2008 National Championship! If it were UT, the parties would be starting right now. Since it’s LSU, fans have been partying since yesterday morning. If I close my eyes, I can almost imagine that I’m drinking a Hurricane at Pat O’Briens.

Ironically, one of the reasons the parents encouraged me to go to UT were that the Vols played better football. We got that one wrong. Thank goodness I didn’t choose my college based on school colors or football.

When will the rest of the country learn that you can’t touch the awesomeness of SEC football? It’s not really football in other conferences.

Now we enter the bleak period of the year with no college football. Sadness until next August. Basketball is just a weak distraction.

Congrats to Maven Mom, McGuvyer Dad and the rest of the LSU contingent in GFTS family. The Vols will return one day.
