was it ever football time in tennessee this year?

some things you just don't want to deal with...like cleaning the bathroom or plucking your eyebrows. however, a couple of weeks ago, i was forced to deal with a big it. the university of tennessee decided to part ways with its long-time football coach phillip fulmer. we all had been speculating for a couple of years how much longer he would hang on because let's face it, the past several seasons have not been...um, how do i delicately put this...good. in fact, it's been so hard to watch at times that i have had to clean the bathroom during a couple of games to escape the massacre on the field. but that still didn't change the fact that i wasn't ready for the big change. i kept thinking, "somethings just aren't supposed to change." in case you didn't know, we move like every 6 months...there's always a big change coming in our family...so things that are consistent are treasured. things like my favorite lipstick at clinique, the multi-colored lights and decades old ornaments on my mom's christmas tree, and FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE UT FOOTBALL. now i realize that i take obsession with ut football to a higher level than most people. for example, i have to be in the stadium and in my seat an hour before kickoff. "why?" you ask. because i watch the kickers warmup and eat my stadium hotdog. tom still doesn't like getting in the stadium that early, but bless his heart, he loves me enough to do it anyway. i don't know what next season holds in store for ut football, but let's just hope that mike hamilton doesn't decide to change anything else...i might not be able to handle it.
