<p>I have been a VERY happily married woman for over 30 years, but this - THIS could be a deal breaker. Any advice?</p>

<p>P.S. When I asked DS what <em>he</em> was going to do to fix this problem, he responded:</p>

<p>“Watch him lose.”</p>

<p>Just enjoy the gloating after the game is over.</p>

3

<p>Sometime during the first half, when the game is already out of hand, simply slip on a Volunteer Orange T-shirt that says “Orange Crushed.”</p>

<p>Roll Tide!</p>

<p>NRDmom- who does the laundry? Seems the perfect opportunity to try out that new bottle of extra strong bleach! </p>

<p>Roll Tide (with bleach)</p>

<p>I like Vlines idea, or you could unpack his suitcase. He won’t find any orange in T town.</p>

<p>i have to agree with this guy:</p>

<p>[I&lt;/a&gt; Hate Tennessee - YouTube](<a href=“I Hate Tennessee - YouTube”>I Hate Tennessee - YouTube)</p>

<p>Maybe you could look him up and have your husband sit with him???</p>

<p>Orange doesn’t look good on anyone; don’t get why people would even WANT to wear it.</p>

<p>On the other hand, Crimson is flattering to many skin types. Roll tide!</p>

<p>Have to stand up for the Vols in that we met many of them while on our anniversary trip to Disney last week, which spanned two weekends of college football. Families proudly wore that “garish” orange, but all were so friendly when we told them hello and told how our son went to Bama. Many were happy to pull out their phones to look up current scores on the games and congratulated us on Bama’s continued success on the field. Will be a fun game to watch, that’s for sure!</p>

<p>You could go shopping at Neiman Marcus whenever he wears Orange.</p>

10

<p>Favorite line from Blind Side was “You will not play for ____, I refuse to wear that God awful orange”. </p>

<p>I told DS that about more than one school he was looking at early on.</p>

11

<p>Let’s just say that there is a very popular shirt in Alabama that reads “I hate orange” and shows the well-known schools with orange as one of their colors.</p>

<p>Tennessee orange is quite possibly the worst looking out of all of them. :D</p>

<p>Your husband and would get along nicely. </p>

<p>Geaux Tigers.</p>

<p>Wearing purple is not much better.</p>

<p>I’ll be watching this game in NYC at The Hill sports bar, at one of the alumni association watch parties (NYC actually has 2 bars for Bama fans–we watched the BCS at the other bar). Anyone else in the NY area, let me know if you’ll be there.</p>

<p>To Do List For Saturday:</p>

<p>1.) Lawyers Office. (Pick up papers.)
2.) Drugstore. (Bleach.)
3.) T-Shirt Emporium.
4.) Neiman Marcus. (Several extremely skin flattering crimson outfits
and accessories, be sure to avoid ‘God awful orange’.)
5.) Contact “I Hate Tennessee” YouTube guy, describe husband.
6.) Shake Head Sadly Over Misguided Tigger Fan.
7.) Gloat.</p>

<p>Did I leave anything out?</p>

<p>Montegut: Tennessee folk ARE super nice. It’s one of the many reasons we live here.</p>

<p>Roll Tide!!!</p>

<p>^^ Laughing at your to-do list. I think you’ve got it covered!</p>

<p>lol!</p>

<p>Being from Tennessee, Hubby and I both have been life-long Vol fans. That is, until our D decided to go to,Alabama. We went to our first Bama home game earlier this year, and had to buy a shirt there, as our closet had nothing but orange. </p>

<p>Well, we’re heading to Knoxville tomorrow, and I realized today that we don’t have any warm Bama clothes, so off to Hibbetts I went. The friends we’ll be tailgating with will all be in orange, and I wonder once we get in the stadium if we will be 2 crimson dots in a sea of orange. </p>

<p>The band actually left early this morning, and performed in Chattanooga today, and are staying in Pigeon Forge tonight. My D just posted that a bunch of the mellophones went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Gatlinburg tonight. She’s having a blast. We will get to have breakfast with her Sunday morning before the band heads back to Tuscaloosa. </p>

<p>Hope it’s a good game. Kind of bittersweet, though. There’s a young man near where I live who is in the last stages of cancer. Tennessee is dedicating the game to him tomorrow, and he’s gotten phone calls from the coaches, past coaches, players, even Peyton Manning (UT alum). If any of you are on Facebook, please search for Jay’s Warriors page and “like.” He’s wanting 30,000 likes by this weekend, and he’s very close to that goal.</p>
