Tennessee LB Derek Barnett’s Uncle Gets Insane Vols Tattoo

There’s nothing wrong with having school spirit. It’s always a healthy habit to boast your love for your school — loud and proud. That’s especially true in the Southeastern Conference.

When it comes to the SEC, school pride is abundant. That’s even more true in terms of SEC sports and fandom. Some people go to extreme measures to prove to the entire world just how much he or she loves a particular school.

Some people slap bumper stickers or specialized license plates on their cars. Others show their love with articles of clothing. But in the case of the uncle of Tennessee Volunteers linebacker Derek Barnett, it was better to show love for the Vols with a permanent sign of appreciation — a tattoo.
