38 years ago tonight after many more than one too many my little brother and best friend decided we wanted to drive by Neyland at about 3 am. After stopping we decided we needed to get on the field and squeezed through a gate and ended up sleeping on the bleachers at the 50 yard line. As the sun woke us up rising over the stadium we decided we needed Krystal. After getting our food and sitting down much to our surprise Dr J. Julian happened to sit down next to us. As we told him of our adventure that evening he quickly changed tables as if he thought we were serial killers. The night of the game was the first game I ever attended without partaking in any adult beverages. My best friend texted me earlier to remind me of that night 38 years ago today. I just hope we have a better outcome of the game tomorrow and let’s all raise a glass in Johnny’s honor. 🍊🍊
