V-O-L-S, GO VOLS GO!

Today I woke up, walked outside, and realized (rather quickly) I was shivering. Before I could completely fill the water bowls for the dogs, I had to come back inside and put on long pants.

That's when it hit me. Today was the opening game day for college football. Yes, I know a few games were played earlier this week, but the important games were today. The season opener is the warm-up where big dogs win big and get pumped up for game 2 of the season. This day was also so perfect for a nice long stroll with two of the most precious puppies I've ever seen and the greatest parents anyone could ask for. We walked for an hour or more then went a ran a few errands, took a piece of furniture to Jimmie Hale, shopped a bit and it was time for work. So, since I didn't get to see any games I thought I'd recap via ESPN:

You may ask yourself...Why does Alabama's score even matter to a Tennessee fan? or How does the Auburn score affect you? And Texas, really, Texas? Well I would have to let you know that right now I live in the state of Alabama. This means that I work in the state of Alabama. And thus I worked on Game Day in Alabama. People are especially nice here if they now they're about to crush an opponent and stand tall as National Champs. Furthermore they are all in Tuscaloosa. I work in Birmingham; get my drift, makes for a great day at work. We get a significant amount of work. we never get to do, done on Game Day. As for Auburn, I've lived in Alabama long enough, 7 years, to know there are two teams if you are a resident of Alabama and you're not watching the Tide Roll in, you're watching the Tigers do their thing. Lastly, Texas. Well. I figure, I need to be on the up and up when I get there, we're four games in and I'm needing a deal on the cable bill with the guy in the Hook 'Em Horn's t-shirt under the DirecTv polo. So with that. I'm off to re-fill more water bowls for five of the best dogs ever. Hope your opening game day was great, and remember:

It's great, to be, a TENNESSEE VOL!!
