    I'm just a fan lol my mom always wanted to go to Italy and she's a big UT fan too so when I saw the team was letting people go with them to Italy we decided we needed to do it. Bank accounts a lot lighter now lol. We actually sat down with other people at the table and those "big shots" happened to pick the same one. I have Internet access until 11AM eastern tomorrow.

    Sounds like trip is off to a good but tiring start :). Thanks for the updates, and safe travels.

  • Thanks for keeping us "not so lucky" fans posted. Tell Hart I said to give Coach Martin a contract extension.

  • Armani Moore and Derek Reese, two of our new guys sat with my mom and I at bfast. Very nice young guys. Armani is actually staying next door to mom and I with Kenny Hall. And Moore has one of our adapters. Seeing the Sistine Chapel in person was amazing. No pics allowed but just soaking it in was awesome. It's 4:17 pm here. I have had a great panini and some gelato for lunch. Meeting up with Skylar's mom and dad for dinner. They are great. My mom and Skylar's mom have mutual friend. And both are teachers.
