In two weeks, I will be in Heaven ... okay not literally (well, who knows, I might be if the Lord sees fit!) ... but I'll be close to Heaven on Earth - put it that way!
I'll be seated inside Neyland Stadium getting ready to see the Tennessee Volunteers take on the Kentucky Wildcats. Honestly, I don't have high aspirations that Tennessee will win this game. (As Rissy would say, I need to think positively (ha!) but seriously, we've only won three games!) They are having a rough season with all that happened last year; and it's a bad sign when Kentucky has already won more games than the Vols. We're in a rebuilding time, but one day, the Vols will be the Tennessee of old.
Neyland Stadium is one of the largest college football stadiums in the United States. I have been inside the stadium once before but not for a game & I was just overwhelmed. The sheer sign of the stadium seen from the highway is just unbelieveable. I've never been to a Tennessee game and have heard it is unlike anything you've ever experience; so I am stoked!
I am so excited. I pray for a victory but even if the Vols don't score an actual victory on the field, it will still be a victory for me to be at the game, see Smokey on the loose and sing "ROCKY TOP" at the top of my lungs!
My co-workers even got me an orange & white cake for my birthday to help me prepare. So let's go Volunteers. If you don't win another game this season, try hard to beat Kentucky for my sake!!!
