Okay folks. I walked from the intersection of Volunteer Blvd. and UT Dr. back up to The Hill, and I'll share with you what's going on.

First of all, I walked by The Pride of the Southland Band's practice as they were prepping for tomorrow's halftime show (which will be the bagpipe show, BTW). I got to hear "Scotland the Brave" and "Amazing Grace" a couple of times, bagpipes included, before I had to head back up Volunteer.

Next: The Rock. I told you it had been repainted, and when I went by there were a number of students posing with it and snapping pictures. Here it is:




I proceed up Volunteer to Circle Park to see what the Gameday setup looked like. There is already considerable activity . . .


 
 
 


I'm not sure who the guy is that was recording on the set below. He wasn't immediately familiar but he was talking football and the students would occasionally make some noise or start a chant. I also had to snap a pic of the flyover camera. Those things are pretty cool.


 


The easiest way from Circle Park back to my office is behind the stadium, so as I headed through there I noticed a UF equipment truck parked under there. So I took a pic of it as well:

I enjoy the Bagpipe show.  I don't think they've done it in a few years (for any of the games I've been to, anyway).  I remember several years back (can't remember which game) it had been cloudy and rainy all day.  At the precise moment when the band joined the pipes on Amazing Grace, the sun came out.  The entire stadium erupted.

LOL. I just noticed that the security camera must have caught my little hand gesture as well.

I liked your last pic, what happened to it? It's been replaced by a black box.

Not sure what happened. I think it's fixed now though.
