I wanted to express my eternal gratitude to the great Volunteer family of fans, students and alumni that made my trip to your great state such a memorable experience.

After having spent the last hour and a half writing this up for Bruins Nation, I just didn't have it in me to do it all over again but I did want to share this with you.

I hope this link to my fanpost will suffice.

Extra special thanks go out to Volsrock1 (Craig) and Brandon and Rose.

Definitely worth a gander if you haven’t. Mexi has some great pictures of his experience and some very kind words for the host horde.

Agreed

This is one of those silver linings out of a disappointing weekend. Despite the disappointment, our fans really outdid themselves from a hospitality standpoint.

I want to add my thanks, too

I wasn’t there, unfortunately, but I was able to read MexiBruin’s story. He is one of my Bruin Brothers, and the hospitality extended to him was vicariously extended to me. Thanks. I hope we can reciprocate someday, and I hope that we can handle victories and losses with the total class of the Volunteers.

My own little saga. I was at an event in Geezerville (I live in a 55+ community near Tampa) which was hosted by a New Yorker who somehow was convinced that he needed to attend Tennessee. (I still haven’t figured out how that happened.) He very graciously stopped the event when the game ended and announced the result, even though only he and I had any interest. So my little mini-story correlates perfectly with everything I heard about what a great experience you Volunteers presented to a Bruin.

I would like to think that if the outcome of the game had been different that we would have been as classy as you guys. I don’t know if that’s even possible.

Good luck against Florida. Not every one down here roots for the Gators.
