Should I Wear Orange?

This past weekend we were invited by our good friends the Fains to attend a UT Game. Against my better judgement, I accepted the offer. Let me start over.......We so wanted to be with our friends, that we accepted the offer. The first thing out of my mouth, being a loyal Ole Miss fan in a town inundated with ORANGE, was "Do I have to wear ORANGE?"

My sassy friend Tina replied on my facebook page "if you want tickets and a seat at the game, you better wear ORANGE!" I have to admit, before moving to the Metropolis of Knoxville, Tennessee, I LOVED the color ORANGE. I mean, I am a "Fall" and I look mahvelous is THE color. But this Ole Miss alum just could not bring herself to wear THE color no matter what. I would be a disgrace to my Ole Miss family and friends.

Well, the day came (pouring down rain) and my Knight in Shining Armour called me with some lifesaving news.

"Hey, I have some customers who just offered me 8 tickets to the game.......in the East Club"

How do you like me now?

Not being a UT fan and only gracing Neyland Stadium ......um.......two? times in our 5 football season life here, I had no idea what that meant. Well.......the East Club was like the Rebel Club.....just ORANGE. It means LOTS of good food, drink, and warm dry plush seating indoors, and covered plush seating outdoors.

Food, plush seating......and Tina got the kids in!

My dilema was solved......no longer did I have to wear ORANGE. I had my OWN tickets......and they were GOOD!

Me, Tina, and Melanie.....no orange except a little on me! What the Heck???

I called up my sassy friend Tina and informed her of my POSH tickets and told her I now didn't have to wear ORANGE. I also asked if she, Paul, Dennis and Melanie would like to join us. Guess her answer.......YEP! And even she didn't wear ORANGE!

Them UT fans like thar ORANGE!
