I forgot how much I've missed my home state. I went back to my old stomping grounds for the first time in seven years this weekend. And I realized more than ever, there's just something about the Big Orange State that makes me happy.
I've missed the rolling countryside and the mountains. I've missed the vibrant array of fall colors. I've missed being in Tennessee on game day when any public gathering is a sea of Volunteer orange. I've missed the Tennessee/Alabama rivalry and the "Beat Bama!" signs. I've missed Knoxville and UT's campus, where I spent many a day as a child while both my parents were going back to school. I've missed seeing Neyland Stadium and the Sunsphere and other notable Knoxville buildings. I've missed the accent. I've missed the people.
I've missed the familiarity of it all...
