Title: I'm giddy.. I've told you all about my Dad Post by: VinnieVOL on November 09, 2013, 12:50:08 EST Before the UGA game I posted something on facebook, basically bragging about his UT fandom and what a joy it is attend games with him. Well one thing led to another, a cousin of mine forwarded my post to WBIR and wouldn't you know it.. they came out yesterday to his house and did a piece of him. I'm beaming with pride! Other than Stogie I know none of you all know him, but he's incredibly humble and would never has sought out this attention on himself. (our local paper also did a series on him spanning 3-4 weeks in the weekend edition). But, it would seem a simple fb post just spread like wildfire and here we go:

That is just AWESOME, Vinnie! I raise my glass to your Dad tonight, my friend. Plus, he personally kicked spurrier's ass on the school yard; I'd buy him dinner any damn day! And your Mom is welcome, too! My Dad & Mother were the same with Auburn as well, until we lost Mother 4 years ago. This year was the first he could go back; Mother was a Miss Auburn and my baby sis was a first runner-up. I love college football!!!!! GreggO :powert: (No - my Mother & sister were not Miss Auburn & the runner-up the same year. I realize we play AU tomorrow, but this post is about Vinnie's Dad. Dog my family in a seperate post. Thank you. :toothless:) Title: Re: I'm giddy..

I've told you all about my Dad Post by: volsboy on November 09, 2013, 04:52:19 EST Awesome story. Great accomplishment. He had to attend a few games when he was feeling under the weather. Now my friends, that is a fan. He puts us so-called fans to shame. Tell him how impressed and honored I am feeling for him and his attendance record.. Thank God for folks like him. He should get his own special section in Neyland. Heck, name it after him.
