Thank you for sharing, I am 49 and my son is 8 turning 9 and that is very similar to our experiences at the games.  guess that is why we have the number of fans we have today, the young ones have excellent role models to follow.  VFL go VOLS

So how far are you away from screening potential suitors for Ava?  My daughter is a Freshman this year and has already had 3 boys ask her out.

All too scared to call me.   :rotfl:

I found one of these to be the best screening device available.

Sadly, all I can show you is the picture that was taken immediately before. The moisture (combined with user error, probably) ruined my efforts to snap another photo.

Did you notice that UT covered up the adidas logo on that jacket? 

True.

True. 

I guarantee you that wasn't UT's doing.  Afterall, our current apparel provider once scolded Jimbo Fisher for allowing his 9 year old son to wear a competitor's sweartshirt on camera.  :frown:

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!  Right now all she cares about is Minecraft, Swim Team and her new kitten.  At least still boys are just, "Meh".  Thank God.  :-)
