Go Vols

[justme4910]

as you can tell I'm a fan of the University of Tennessee football,there finally on the up swing for a change now :)

they had some misfires this year,but played pretty good consider all the still young players and lack of depth and figure in a lot of injuries too,they did good considering all that

they did beat North Western in a bowl game this past New years day,i think it was a 45 to 6 thumping,which is pretty good,North Western has a very well coached team

and i follow the Lady Vols Basketball team very closely also and the Lady Vols Softball team,I'm on http://www.volnation.com/ and that is a great site if you follow the Mighty Vols of Tennessee :)

so is Vols simply short for 'Voles'

Or does it have another meaning entirely that an englishman would have no chance whatsoever in working out :-)

Tennessee is known as "The Volunteer State", hence you get "Vols".

the Lady Vols Basketball team kicked number 20th ranked Missouri's women pretty impressively,I hope they can do the same to Florida's women's team too :)
