WE NEED YOU!!!!

Hey Guys,
I realized that there have not been any post since the Alumni Weekend! It was an awesome weekend and a million thank yous go to Jen for all of her hard work and planning. It was a great weekend and I know that it was awesome for everyone to get a chance to catch up. For those of you that missed it I will say... YOU MISSED IT. The good news is that you will have another chance next year. We hope to have a bigger crowd each year as we people graduate and become a part of the OLD PEOPLE (read that ALUMNI)!!!!

I know that there was not a post on last weekends games. I will just say that the girls hit a bump in the road on their last road trip. They played South Carolina on Friday and lost 2-1 and then on Sunday they played Florida and lost 5-1. Now I remember this road trip as being one of the hardest trips and with the way that the SEC is growing and the level of play is getting more competitive these girls are really going to have to work hard every game and be ready to bring it each time they step on the field. With that being said I know that they need our support. We need to make our presence known to these girls and let them know that we are behind then 100%!!! It would be great if we can get BIG crowds this year to as many games as we can. This weekend they have two SEC games (and it is time to get down to business...):)

LSU @ Tennessee at 7:00om on Friday, Oct 3, 2008

Arkansas @ Tennessee at 1:00pm Sunday, Oct 5, 2008

Let's show our Alumni Spirit and help these girls out. I am sure that if you need tickets you can call the ticket office or one of the coaches and see if they can get you in. (I just made that last part up and have not spoken to the coaches so they may kill me for saying it but I just thought I would throw it out there!) :)

I hope that everyone is doing well and if you want to be added as an author just contact me and I will sign you up for this blog!!!!

Hey all!

This is officially my first time using a blog-hence the title- and I am so happy that it has to do with the Lady Vol family! So I thought I would go sort of big and include so pix from our last trip. Pepperdine was pretty nice, ocean in one pix if you look closely, and mountains in the other. Anyways, before tomorrow begins, I would like to personally thank Jen Grubb-Alumni Director, coordinator, and super mom for arranging everything! She has made my job much easier by organizing this whole weekend!! I just know that it will be a fun-thrilled, victorious, and exhausting weekend and again, thank you Jen. Also, thanks to everyone else who has helped Jen! Please take lots of pictures so I can make a mail out for all the little recruits!

Finally, don't forget your can foods so we can pack the house! Go Lady Vols!

Knoxville Race

Hey Guys,
Another event that will allow some of us to get together for a fun run!!!! I emailed some information about a local race that is being held in Knoxville. It is the CrossKnox Race that is a 15K or 9.3 miles. It is so much fun and the whole race is on the Knoxville Greenways. The race date has moved and I wanted to let everyone know about it. It will now be held on November 22, 2008. I would love to get a team together for this event!!! Maybe we could have t-shirts made and all that jazz. Let me know if you are interested, I know some of you were before. I will be at Alumni Weekend so if you have ideas or would like more information let me know!!! Can't wait to see all of you in a few weeks!!!!

Here is the link to the race info:
