OK.
The off season, as off seasons go, has been about as good as you can get if your team went 5-7, including a homecoming loss loss to Wyoming, and lost your long-time coach.
It's been hoot watching Coach Lane Kiffin bring together a staff, recruit some awesome talent, piss off Gator Nation and, let's admit it, stick is his foot in his mouth here and there. (It's also been great keeping up with Kiff's Twitter account.) All the spring practice stuff and the Orange & White game were great to see and read about.
But dang it if it ain't time for some actual football, y'all!
I got the bug bad today after seeing Knoxville pal Bonny Millard's Facebook status update. Bonny said she "is missing me some football. Why did they kill arena football? Having to watch reruns on NFL channel. Don't want to wish away spring and summer, but I' ready for the gridiron."
Seeing the Vols take the field again will be as awesome as the beautiful Aronica Champ aerobatic plane. The Orange and white scheme is dead-on UT Orange, and it was spotted by UT alumn Larry Lyons a few weeks back at the Cecil Air Show in Jacksonville. Almost as gorgeous as those O&W uniforms are going to be taking the field against Western Kentucky on Sept. 5.
Can't wait.
Jeff
