It's Football Time in TENNESSEE!










It's that time of year again, It's Football time in Tennessee! At this moment, we are 19 days 17 hours and 2 minutes from kickoff at Cal (go to www.utsports.com for the latest news and countdown clock). I truly am excited this year (and every other year!) when August rolls around and summer two-a-days start up. The excitement mounts all through the month like the real long "ohhhhhhhhhh.........AH! AH! AH!" before kickoff. I know, I know, it's baby time here in Dallas, but I promise that what I'm most excited about this season is having our new little one here to watch the games with us. I told Holly that anytime on or before September 14 would be great so that the baby could get here in time for the Florida game. We've already been set up with a great assortment of orange and white gear for the little one (thanks y'all) . When people said that they didn't know what colors to get because we are waiting to find out the sex, I always said that orange and white works great. I even picked out our car seat and stroller because it had orange trim. The pic to the left here is my choice for the going home from the hospital outfit. One of my friends here in Dallas, Martin, made the observation that our kid won't have a choice but to be a "Volunteer" (i.e. you can't force someone to volunteer and they still be a volunteer). Dang Skippy Martin! He/She will be born a Volunteer! With orange blood and all. It's not just from my side either. Some of you have seen the way Holly cheers and yells, sometimes louder than me! And talk about hard on the refs! I am looking forward to game days with the baby and drawing the logos of Tennessee's opponents (especially Alabama) on the inside of diapers before they go on the kid... so they can get crapped on. (HA Ha!) For all college football fans and especially to all of you Volunteers, cheer until you lose your voice and enjoy the season! Go Vols!

I personally like the idea of drawing the logos inside the diapers for the baby to poo on. Awesome.

Tenessee boy,

Looking forward to that 3rd weekend in October when your sweet baby will come to see that his Uncle Fat Fil Falls on his Face again. We've put up with enough Tennessee diaper doo. Tide is rising fast and will wipe that diaper clean no matter what you put in it.

Roll Tide and get to work on time!

You know who....

That's My Boy!
I love the drawing logos inside the diapers. What a way to let the rest of the SEC know how we feel about them. I am sure that baby "Tennessee" Jones will do some hollering of his own. Louder and longer than Mom or Dad. Don't forget Gran Pat will make sure that all of you can atleast hear all the games by way of a radio cell phone patch. I love you so much. Take care of Holly. Love, MOM
