Football--We are VFL--Vols for Life

We are in GTB, connected to cable TV for a week—a first since June and it is football season.  Soooo..the Vols play Florida in THE game of the season for us Vols fans that have waited much too long to beat a rival.  It is unhealthy how much we want this win in a game-played by 18-22 year olds.  But we watch and expect anyway.  The people here at the dock think at first that someone must have fallen in a hatch the first time we yell—soon they realize we are just watching the game.  The first half we trade leads but UT has a lead at halftime even though no one on Sunny Days is comfortable.  Friends from Kat and GimmeTime come for the 2^nd quarter and when they leave at the half we joke that if we fall behind we are going to make them come back because we are shaking up the ju-ju.  Then inexplicably in the 4^th quarter we decide to quit playing on 4^th downs.  Florida makes 4 of 4 4^th down plays—the last one was 4^th and 13 with 2 minutes to go?!? In the last second we miss a 54 yard field goal to lose the game.  We are so depressed—we had a Seafood Boil Party to go to here at the dock—we pass.  Fitz and I are in bed by 9pm.  Yes, there is another game next week but it will be a year before we get another crack at Florida.  Text from Nick—So depressed, I wish I drank.  Katie on FB—It is probably best to just not talk to me until next football season:-(   Chips off the block.
