I'm going to afghanistan next weekend. I have to fly to my departure point tomorrow and my plane leaves at 5:11 pm. gets in at 6, then I have an hour ride to the base. I'm going to miss the majority of one of the most meaningful games in recent history, and that makes me a saaaaaaad panda

Posts like this put it all in perspective. We all love the Vols and football, but we wouldn't have any of it without people like you, thank you!
Oh, and take some orange with you!

I am taking tons of UT orange. i've been warned against becoming a "walking target" on my FOB in Afghanistan b/c I've got so much. the only thing I dont have is a Tennessee Flag to hang up b/c i cant find one to buy. i've been in transit for training and stuff and living in a hotel for almost 2 months and the places i have been living aren't UT friendly (crazy, right?)
