When Tennessee-Alabama Became Grandpa's Game

by Clay TravisFiled under: Alabama, TennesseeOn Oct. 24, Justin Paschall, a 13-year-old eighth grader at Southside Elementary in Lebanon, Tennessee, went to his first Alabama-Tennessee football game. He traveled to Tuscaloosa with his grandfather, Ray Todd, as huge of an Alabama fan as there is in the Southland and two cousins, also Alabama fans. Justin says his first question upon being told that his grandfather had tickets for the game, his first ever Tennessee game, was, "Can I wear my orange jacket?" Grandpa Ray Todd, Alabama born and bred and now residing in Tennessee, said that he could wear his orange, and on Friday the foursome traveled to Tuscaloosa for the game. Come Saturday, Justin woke up and took wearing orange to a whole new level.When Tennessee-Alabama Became Grandpa's Game originally appeared on Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog on Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:47:00 EST .
