So I was on the best vacation I've ever had, I'm on a 45-foot catamaran with my wife and 6 other people cruising through the British Virgin Islands, and while I'm wearing my Tennessee visor, some random folks in another catamaran at the fuel dock yells out "Go Cats".
So, I'm like, oh, are you from Kentucky? "No." Oh, are you from Northwestern? "No." Arizona? "No" (although I had no idea why they would Arizona fans say Go Cats to me since we don't have any sort of rivalry with them).
So I never got an answer. I do remember that the boat had "Athens, Ohio" on back. When I finally got back on Volquest I see that have "Ohio" on our schedule this year - who's mascot are the Bobcats, and I just found out Ohio University is located in Athens, Ohio. Obviously, Ohio Bobcat fans know UT is on their schedule, and UT fans like me are just oblivious to an opponent like Ohio U. If I had the Ohio Bobcats on my radar it would have actually been fun to talk to them about the upcoming game!
