We've enjoyed beautiful weather this weekend with comfortable temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Friday night was the big football game between Hardin Valley and Oak Ridge. My parents and my older brother Mark came to see the game. Nancy and our pastor Amy also joined the group. Unfortunately for Hardin Valley, it was a big victory for Oak Ridge.
We might have lost the football game but Hardin Valley won the contest to see who could collect the most food for Second Harvest. Second Harvest distributes canned and fresh food to food pantries and ministries around the area who provide food to families in need.
Today Mark and I went to see the Univ. of Tennessee play LSU, the number one team in the country. No need to go into detail but LSU beat Tennessee pretty badly. On the way to the stadium we waded into a huge crowd, which gathered to hear the marching band play. That was fun, as was joining our friends for a few minutes of "tailgating" before going into the game.
Here's Tim and Mark discussing the outlook for UT before the game.
Though it looks like I am enjoying a nice meal on my private balcony outside the stadium (complete with personal security guard) in reality there were other fans there too.
Many thanks to Tim and Leigh Ann for generously treating us to such luxurious seats. We won't even complain about the football team (that would be UT) being so bad.
Right before the game starts the marching band forms a huge T and the football team comes running onto the field, through the T, led by the cheerleaders carrying the UT and Tennessee flags.
This is the stadium view late into the 4th quarter. LSU fans wear purple, and you can see that there is a lot more purple than orange.
