About the author

The modern and traditional can coexist peacefully. This is a place to explore what it means to be a true Southern gentleman and what it's like to grow up in the South, never quite fitting into what is expected, as well as general issues affecting Southerns today. From GLBT rights to race relations to general Southern culture, all will be explored.

For general purposes, the South consists of the following states: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. But in the spirit of the "New South" and my own personal experience with their cultures, I may at times include Eastern Arkansas, Northern/Panhandle/Inland Florida, Southern Kentucky, Southeastern Missouri, and Eastern Texas.

I can’t lie, my time at UTK was one of the most important times in my life. I will always love that hallowed Hill and all those who bleed orange (past, present, and fUTure), and know that the best tailgating is done in Knoxvegas. Alas, there’s no more Strong Hall…but the memories remain of Clement|Andy Holt and Crossing Place (or whatever its being called now). Football games in Neyland are best watched from the student section and for as long as I can pass for a twenty something I will sneak over to be with my brethren. I will cherish Boomsday like it exists outside of the (VOL) area code. And I will always stand for Rocky Top, every single fucking time it is played. And if you can’t understand that…you didn’t go to TENNESSEE.
