…home sweet home to me?
That’s me inside Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium this afternoon. Jay Johnson (of DrawingDead fame), my gracious host (along with his wife Ashley) for this visit to Knoxville, gave me a brief tour of UT’s campus (his law school alma mater) after my clerkship interview downtown, and when we walked past the stadium, we noticed that one gate was open, so we were able to walk inside and get a picture. Cool.
Interview went well, by the way. We’ll see. Hey, I could be an “Irish Trojan Vol”… ;)
Anyway, speaking of college football, an Andrew Sullivan reader handicaps the 2008 presidential race in college football terms. Barack Obama is Notre Dame; Hillary Clinton is USC. Heh. (Hat tip: Texasyank.)
P.S. Just to be clear: I will NEVER root for the Lady Vols women’s basketball team, at least not over UConn. Knoxville is a nice town, but Pat Summitt is still the devil-woman. Hehe.
P.P.S. Heh:

Let me explain: he told me what “drawing dead” meant. I have now used that term to explain a patent application….

Sounds like chilled White Lightnin’ to me, DD :).
Gather up the pots and the old tin cans,
The mash, the corn, the barley and the bran,
Run like the Devil from the Excise man,
Keep the smoke from risin’, Barney.
