Game Day: Bringing Us Together (Even in Rivalry)

Game Day: Bringing Us Together (Even in Rivalry)

Football isn’t just about the scoreboard—it’s about the traditions, the friendly banter, and the shared excitement that unites us every game day. Win or lose, we can all agree on one thing: the love of the game brings us closer.

And Natalie? She might be decked out in that bold Tennessee orange, but she’s an irreplaceable part of our team! Her unwavering Volunteer pride proves rivalries don’t have to divide us—they add a little extra spark to our Monday morning recaps.

So here’s to today’s game: may it be filled with epic plays, unforgettable moments, and plenty of good-natured gloating (from both sides). Natalie, we’ll see you Monday, no matter the outcome—but let’s be honest, most of us are yelling...Go Dawgs!
