the knoxville trip was amazing. well, not the trip up there (like 7 hours) but the whole experience. callie, casey, and their friend tj went.
things that will stick with me:
1) how friendly everyone in knoxville was. i've heard of southern hospitality, but it was almost if the didn't want to step on my toes at all
2) callie had holes stared through her (as to be expected, she's gorgeous) and broke a lot of guys hearts in her red dress on game day.
3) casey being obnoxious to every person she saw wearing tennessee yellow. (i know it's "orange" but that color is not orange. and she was doing it out of competitive spirit, nothing bad.) 4) tj likes to talk. he can't stand the silence. he had trivia and stories for everything, and we were all too nice to tell him we just wanted to be quiet for a while. trivia question: what is the only company left on the... crap, i don't remember the question, but the answer's g.e. "it was on final jeopardy 4 years ago, that's the reason i remember it, i beat my friend on that question. did i ever tell you about the time i..."
5) they had a prayer before the game! the whole 110,000 person stadium! how cool is that!
6) tailgating on a 40 foot boat on the tennessee river. (and almost falling in crawling from boat to boat, and the way callie carries her beer when doing so. now that's a redneck yacht club!)
7) seeing rob and laura leigh barrett and their parents for the first time in years.
8) the mullet sporting tennessee fan who tried to pick a fight with every georgia fan he saw
9) georgia's offense wishing jason allen well as they carted him off the field.
10) being applauded as we left o'charley's after the game because uga had won the game
11) walking around knoxville looking for the car
12) callie's "friend" nick, who thought it was fine to knock on our door at 4:30 a.m. and ask us to come party with them
13) kenny rogers, former georgia resident, singing with the ut band at halftime (he was pretty drunk)
14) how loud that stadium is (110,000 people in a big bowl can make quite a loud sound)
i'm sure there are more, but i've gotta go. it was great to get away from everything in milledgeville and now i've got a ton of work to do!
EDIT:
15) "my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps"
16) "i've heard all your bodily functions stop when you sneeze, but this one time i was..."
