Life’s arcs and trajectories can be strange. One day a person acts one way, but might change the next – a year later, who knows what they’ll be like. That’s kind of how I was with Tennessee athletics.
I grew up a rabid Ohio State Buckeyes fan. I was born 30 minutes northwest of Columbus, so while my family liked the West Virginia Mountaineers – where the elders were born and raised – I bucked the family legacy for the Buckeyes. Scarlet and grey were the colors du jour on any given day.
