"I’m rocking the orange tie to church this morning in celebration of the Lady Vols’ softball super regional win over Alabama. Truth be told, I’d wear an orange tie if we beat Alabama in underwater basket weaving.Tennessee Football isn’t just about Saturdays in the fall. It bleeds into the whole weekend, with a heavy dose of anticipation on Friday, an absolutely full day on Saturday both pre, during, and post game…and then there’s Sunday morning. Sunday morning either brings the thrill of victory, or the agony of defeat. And the power of both is felt all over East Tennessee, including and often especially in church attendance."
From Bleacher Report

"Huntsville Stars outfielder Kentrail Davis is glad to be back in East Tennessee for the second time in his professional baseball career.

Wow.’”"
