I'm so bored at home with nothing to do. When I get this bored, it makes me sleep way later than I should. Not that I have anything to be up for but I shouldn't be sleeping as late as I am. All I've done today is sit on the computer and watch updates regarding the Tennessee football team on TV. I know, it's pathetic. I enjoy keeping up with my team but after all the crap they have been through in the last 24 hours, it's just depressing.
As I stated yesterday, our douche bag of a former coach, Lane Kiffin, bolted for his "dream job" at USC. What pisses me off more than anything else is not the fact that he left, but HOW he left. I get that he wants to go "home" seeing as he is originally from California but the way he left Tennessee after one season is just despicable. He came to Tennessee saying all the right things; how he was going to re-energize the UT Football program, embrace our traditions, and "sing Rocky Top all night long after we beat Florida next year". Most of the Tennessee fan base as well as the players and coaches bought into his talk and even fought for him when he would do or say something that wasn't always the best. We stood up for him hoping that he would return the favor and bring us back to football prominence. Then this happens. After we all got our hopes up and thought we were on the up and up he just up and leaves.
I understand that's life and football isn't everything but it's so disheartening to think the loyalty is pretty much gone in this day and age. I guess contracts mean nothing when you can just up and leave whenever you please. I really thought he was going to do great things at Tennessee and I still feel that had he stayed he probably would have. Despite most of the feelings I'm having right now, I still wish Kiffin good luck in his new job and hope that Tennessee can once again be a college football powerhouse. We are Tennessee and that won't ever change.
Now that I have that off my chest, I guess I can move on with my life. I was supposed to go to GMU tonight to give Ashley a tour since she just got accepted and didn't knowher way around. She texted me though and said that she had to go home and that they had given a tour during orientation. Kaitlyn was going to come by, but that didn't work out so here I am being bored, ha ha.
So I'm ending this blog post the same way I started it. I'm officially ready for classes to start...
Until tomorrow.

Wow. You need a hobby. Perhaps something you can do on Saturdays. This fall. During football season. To keep you from weeping uncontrollably everytime UT plays.
