The Oklahoma Sooners Defeats The Tennessee Vol's

Saturday was game day here in big orange country.  The first home game of the season.  For weeks The Vol's have been the talk of our gatherings.   I was downtown Friday afternoon and there were Vol's and Sooner's all over Market Square wearing the orange and crimson proudly, marking their territory.  Saturday, it looked as though someone had spilled a can of orange paint on campus.  It was apparent that this game was taking place on Good ol' Rocky Top.

 The food was plentiful and yummy at the tailgate.  For me, this was the BEST part of the day.  I loved it.

 The Football team arrived, leading the Vol Walk as the crowd cheered them on.
