An exciting time to be on Rocky Top

It's nice to see the University of Tennessee getting publicity in such a quick time frame. True, recent news hasn't been fully great and positive, but the most recent incident doesn't (or at least shouldn't) deter the positive feedback received from the past two weeks's action.

ESPN has come and gone. 

NBC has come and gone.

NBC will be back on Monday.

CNN and Comedy Central have also snuck in there, but...oh well. 

This certainly has been one of the craziest fortnight stretches of my college career and it has been an experience. Never have I stayed up for 36 straight hours. Never have I donned a construction hat for the sole purpose of yelling and cheering and screaming at the top of my lungs. It's been a couple of years since I have seen our football stadium filled to capacity and since I have heard the intimidating sound erupting from the bleachers. Never have I seen Big Orange spirit been put on such a high intensity level and such a high spotlight in such a short time.

It's always great to be a Tennessee Vol, but it seems like it is during times like these where it highlights the love, the passion, the joy that is felt for donning the Orange and White. It's hard to ignore...definitely hard to forget.
