Music City Bowl

I don't have much to say about the game.

We went, it was cold, we had a good time until the end.  

The kids wanted to go, so Kyle got us tickets.

The boys

I took this for Hannah.  She had her camera but, I don't think she could get this shot.

The band was amazing.  They did the circle drill and wowed everyone.  That is the first time I have ever been to a ball game where the fans stayed in the stands and cheered for the band.  I wish I had gotten pictures, but Hannah did, and posted them on her blog.  Nothing beats the Pride of the Southland Marching Band!

 The three amigos.  

There she goes again trying to make the Uncle John face.

I wonder if I will ever get a shot of all my kids smiling?

TN vs Vandy

On November 20, 2010 we took Savannah and Zachary to see TN play Vandy.  It was more like a home game for Tennessee that for Vanderbilt.  Sad I guess for Vanderbilt.

We of course were seated next to a really drunk guy that made really stupid comments until he left during halftime.  He was wearing black and I guess trying to be funny.  Saying things like " I am wearing black, but I'm a UT fan. Do you think all of the UT fans will hate me?"  or "Where is the home team section? I don't see any black and gold."  He was a real genius.  Everyone in our section was glad to see him go.  We kept Savannah and Zachary as far from him as possible.  

Zachary is slowly learning to like football games.  Savannah on the other hand is really into them.

Zachary and Savannah enjoying the game

The game wasn't terribly exciting.  In fact, to be honest, it was slow and boring.  The ref's were horrible.  They kept making horrible calls and wrong calls and having to stop the game to review the calls made.  Like I said it was a long game, but of course, Tennessee won.  We were happy in the end.

Just a little tip in case you go to a UT game at Vanderbilt stadium.  If you buy your tickets through the Vandy office and are going to pick them up in will call.  Don't bother looking  for the will call on the map on Vandy's website for the stadium.  Just look for a tent out in one of the parking lots that has a small sign out that says will call.  Genius?
