A friend and I went to the UT-GA ballgame Saturday. Great game for me, since the VOLS won. Not so much for my friend, who is a BULLDOG fan.
A couple of details I did not like about this event -
I saw Governor Haslam and his Mrs. at the game. They were sitting perhaps twelve to fifteen rows down from us. About three rows down from us was a muscular looking gentleman, with a curly cord hanging from his ear.
Sometime later, while eating a hot dog in the back area, I saw the curly cord gentleman exit the stands, followed by the Gov and Mrs, followed by another gentleman with the curly cord.
Well and good, Governor Haslam had and armed escort. We the taxpayers, I assume, pay the salaries of these gentlemen. I do not object to that.
