    Way to go.....TENNESSEE???????

    Yup....this is a big tip of the hat to the Orange. When a kid in another state was bullied for making a UT shirt for fan day, the teacher contacted Tennessee to tell them how much the kid was a fan, and got bullied for his shirt.
    Tennessee sent the young kid a 35 pound UT fan package. This week they topped it by offering the young man a four year full ride at UT when he graduates.
    even the devil gets his dues.

      This is rather old news but I agree. When I mean old, I mean like two days ago. Funny how time goes by and definitions change. Good for the young man. I just wonder how much he was "bullied" for making that shirt up. My money is just on some good natured ribbing. I may be wrong though. Convince me otherwise.

          I seriously doubt it was good-natured ribbing.

          There is always one kid who gets if from everyone and I don't know how they survive. 35 years ago (every year) I saw the poor, smelly kid, with shakey home life catch hell every day from nearly everyone. Teasing, name-calling, total exclusion, physical harassment, property theft, vandalism, intimidation, and brutal physical beatings.

          Good on UT. Seriously.

          I hope we hang 100 on them this year, but GOOD. ON. THEM.

              I agree. I knew those kids too and took up for them. I just know that the times have changed. People get their feelings hurt for next to notbing anymore and it's chalked up to bullying. I hope I am wrong on this. I really am. But yes. Good on UT. That kid is the envy of the school now and I couldn't be happier for him.
