Gratitude Day

Today's Gratitude Day on the BOVB. Here's a partial list of things the blog staff is thankful for on this non-college-football Saturday:

* The football off season, because it makes us realize with each passing day, week and month how awesome college football, and especially Tennessee football, really is.

* The Internet, because it has given rise to so many great ways to keep up with the Vols (or insert your fav team here). In olden times you had to live in Tennessee to get a daily dose of UT sports news. Where would we be without blogs like

* GoVolsXtra.com, VolNation.com, RockyTopTalk.com, UTSports.com, among others. They're on Twitter along with other Tweet favs like @TennesseeVols and @VolWire.

* Lane Kiffin, because he gave us just the morale boost we needed after that horrid 2007 season. He got us back on the recruiting map and set things up so Derek Dooley could come in an build a new system from the ground up. Wishing Kiffin a great career at USC. (Now we just gotta hope Dooley doesn't have a similar attraction to UGA in the event of Richt's demise there, oy.)

* This super sweet convertible Orange Ford Mustang. I found the pic on my hard drive dated mid-June 2009. Don't know how I overlooked it. Anyway, it's a beauty.
