The Gilliam Blog - All the Blog While Its Blog: Bryce's First Trip To Neyland Stadium
HOW ABOUT A CORN DOG FOR A HUNGRY GUY?????

A 70-degree afternoon, a cloudless sky, and 104,000 orange-clad Volunteer fans provided a beautiful backdrop to Bryce's first appearance at Neyland Stadium -- a day he has waited for all of his life. Bryce is now 1-0 while cheering on the Vols at Neyland Stadium. Bryce was quite the socialite as well. He visited with his great Aunt Laura and Uncle John, David, Kathy, Martha, & Anna, Linda & Bob, cousin Nick, Uncle Chris, Papa Joe, and several friends from church. A plethora of fellow Vol fans in the mens room and in the concourse also welcomed Bryce into the Vol Nation. James Wilhoit's mother took special interest in Bryce and wants him to be a kicker at UT.

Bryce was rather quiet during the game, but obviously picked up on the cheers and jeers during the game. On the way home, we heard him making some sounds we had never heard before. So the boy is already learning at UT.

. . . so this is what I've been watching on TV 

Having recently received the Moss family history going back to 1688
has led me to make the following observations:
Russ & Jac begat children Grayson #4 and Gabe #5
Momma Nan & Pop begat Laura, child #4
Granny Ve & Grandaddy begat Ralph, child #4
Mammy & Pappy Moss begat Granny Ve, child #4 (of 6 children)
My Great Grandparents begat Pappy Moss, child #9 (of 12 children)
My Great Great Grandparents begat James F. child #5 (of 16children)

The moral to this epistle is---You are all here because of either #1 Your ancestors needed lots of farm hands #2 They were ignorant of birth control #3 Vas Ligations were centuries away. #4 They just didn't give a darn. Either way--Be Greatfull!!!

Could there be a Texas Longhorn Fan in the family????????????? 

Since Bryce's lucky Cardinal outfit was partly responsible for St. Louis' unlikely ascension to the World Series title, it was only fitting that the 9-button one-piece jumper would be officially retired and enshrined with other memorabilia from the World Series. The curators of the collection decided that Bryce's dirty diaper from Game 4 would not be a part of the exhibit.

A beautiful day on Tampa Bay's Sand Key 

Bryce and his dad above Clearwater Beach. Mike tried out a new hair style for the trip . . . .it's called The Alfalfa 

Bryce enjoys the Cartoon Network in first class en route to Tampa 

A very special day in Bryce's life . . . and our lives, too

Bryce is joined by a crowd of witnesses. 

Suddenly, Russ appeared on the scene at the luncheon. 

Russ celebrates the Cardinal's Game 3 victory long after the final out, while Bryce wonders what his uncle has been smoking.
