A couple of weeks before Christmas, Mark got an exciting phone call from Chase's football coach. Because his team had won the Mighty-Mite Championship, they invited our team to attend the game and participate in the pre-game ceremonies. As if this weren't exciting enough, UT was playing in the bowl! Can you imagine how excited Mark and Chase were!
So, on Dec. 30, we suited up in our UT gear and headed to Nashville to cheer on the Vols!
Once we got there, we found our team and Chase prepared to head out on the field....
And there they go.....
Chase was so excited because he got to slap the players hands as they ran out of the tunnel. How exciting for an 8-year-old boy who LOVES football!
We watched from the stands and cheered him on as they took there spots....
After that, we all watched a great game....
However, UT was denied the win after a controversial call.
Here was Mark's thoughts on that situation....
Poor guy....he loves his team but they just can't seem to catch a break this season!
Aside from the loss, we all had a great time and were so happy to have the opportunity to attend the game!
