The Snoopy College Alumni Football Fan sweater is a timeless classic. That’s yours truly on January 1, 1990 in my then hometown of Dallas. Unseasonably warm 70 degree day. As an alumni of Rocky Top I was attending to support my “Vols.” Growing up in Knoxville where the University of Tennessee’s main campus is, and with both parents being alumni of UT - plus Dad played football for UT until World War II broke out — I was destined to be a Vol. As a child I attended may games in Neyland Stadium. Growing up in the 1960s I saw teams go from all white athletes to mixed race teams. Bear Bryant, even though an adversary, was a bigger than life icon. The song Rocky Top was never played (that came in 1972). And nothing felt as good as a crisp autumn Saturday afternoon with a Vol football game. Autumn and football were synonymous.
