Dear Lane,
Congratulations on your big win last night. You've managed to do what all those who've come before you have accomplished: beat Kentucky. I know. It's heady stuff. I read all about it on your Twitter update.
I assume Yew-Tee has encouraged you to embrace Twitter. Our own Coach Cal and Paw-Paw are using it quite well. From what I hear, Kiffy, you haven't quite mastered the art of tweeting. Perplexing, really. It isn't that hard. Just don't say anything stupid. Run your tweets, twotes, in your case twits, past someone else before you post. Simple, my friend.
Your little post today managed to raise some ire, brother. "Kentucky will always be Kentucky. Tennessee will always be Tennessee." I can swallow hard and admit that. After 25 years, I guess there is some truth to that statement.
I'm ready to make some statements of my own, okay? Florida will always be Florida, 'Bama will always be 'Bama, Georgia will always be Georgia, UCLA will always be UCLA, and, yes, Tennessee will always be Tennessee.
Lane, we had a coach at Kentucky once. He may or may not have cursed our field. His name was Bear Bryant. He won more games that you have, so perhaps you might listen to some of his pearls of wisdom. He famously said, "Son, act like you been somewhere before."
'til basketball season, xoxo, Jenks
P.S. I've been thinking hard about who I hate more, UT or U of L. Tennessee fans don't gloat nearly as much when Louisville beats us. I still hate Louisville more. I hope that hurts you.
Tennessee killed Georgia this year. The General owned Bear. Go Vols!
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteFirst: show yourself. It's very easy to be an "anonymous" UT fan. Kind of like using an alias to cruise naughty chat rooms.
Second: Um, we beat Georgia as well. You must not have been paying attention. Given your loyalty, we expect that.
Third: To quote one of my favorite people, "Nothing sucks like a big orange."
Very sincerely,
JAJ
Dear JAJ, you're my girl, Blue.
ReplyDeleteAs for you, Anonymous, perhaps you didn't read the title of the blog. We're TheKentuckyGirls. We don't care about some general, or UGA (God rest his soul,) or who Tennessee beat this year (though I do hate being factually incorrect.) Go put on your orange camo coveralls and post on the General's Quarters. They want your kind there.
