OT: Way too much orange in Tampa

[BRS24]

Hubby and I had the opportunity to see the Outback Bowl game yesterday in Tampa, Northwestern vs. Tennessee. As we drove towards stadium and walked in, I commented that there was a lot of orange. Knowing that SEC fans are crazy, and travel well, not a surprise, a mere 670 miles from Knoxville. Unfortunately, there was a lot of orange clad crazies in the Northwestern section. What amused me, was the grown men taking each and every play way too seriously, and some of them reliving younger days with the apparel and amount of beer consumed. What really tickled me was these outfits:

Grown men and women wearing these. My retinas were burning the whole game.

Tennessee fans travel well. It was a great performance by Tennessee winning 45-6. Glad you enjoyed it.

As I was cruising through basketball games yesterday, I came across a Clemson-Tennessee men's game. The cacophony of orange was dizzying.

Well Auburn vs. Tennessee but still very orange!
