Mother thanks respectful Red Riot fans

My family and I had the privilege of traveling to the Huskies v. Vols football game this past weekend, and I just had to write to share our experience.

When we arrived at the stadium, we realized, thankfully, that UT seats the opposing fans together, so my husband and I, as well as our 6 and 3-year-old daughters, were quite comfortable in our seats.

As it got closer to game time, I quickly realized that not only were we seated with other Huskie fans, but we were seated right behind a large group of Red Riot students.

Now, being a mother of two small children, I have to admit I was a little worried that we may encounter some behavior and language that wasn’t exactly “G” rated!

Much to my surprise and delight, the students in front of us were nothing but gentlemen! How refreshing to meet such wonderful young men.

So, to the Red Riot, THANK YOU for displaying your passion for the Huskies in such a respectable manner, and tell your moms that you did them proud!! Go Huskies!!
