The Streak-Busting Onesie

Mason,

Last month, I introduced you to the joys and sorrows of being a Tennessee sports fan. Sad to say, we've had quite a bit of the latter and not so much of the former since then.

I also told you about the gameday uniform your Grandmom and Grandad brought with them when they visited from Tennessee. You've worn it faithfully for a few of the games, but you were not dressed in it last week when the Vols squeaked past the Commodores.

So today seemed like a great opportunity to get the onesie its first win. Tennessee played Kentucky. The last time Kentucky beat Tennessee in football, I was eight years old and Ronald Reagan had just won 49 states.

Hmmm. Well, on the bright side, you'll have outgrown the onesie by September, and we can try something else. And in the meantime, here's to hoping you're writing messages to your own child the next time Kentucky beats Tennessee.

Love,
Daddy
