Welcome to the Tennessee Volunteers Las Vegas blog. We hear that there are nearly three hundred Tennessee alumni here in Nevada (and nearly 5,000 in the SW states comprising CA, NV, UT, and AZ), and we hope to provide a place for everyone to hook up who wishes to do so -- locals and Vols Vegas visitors from anywhere and everywhere. Y'all come.
This is your founding co-host Bobby Gladd ("BobbyG" to the music community here), UTK class of 1985, resident of Las Vegas since 1992 after relocating from Knoxville.
Love it here. We now have approximately two million full time residents! And we get about 40 million visitors a year. Were it not for gaming, though, this place would be Barstow II, LOL!
Just getting started with Vegas Vols. If anyone has suggestions for content (including permanent links, etc.), just let us know. Also, if you would like to contribute as a regular blogger on this site, we will be glad to consider that as well.
Obviously, when you say the word "Vols," Tennessee sports come prominently to mind, and, while I am as much of a Vols sports fan (and crazed gym rat) as anyone, this effort will not be limited to sports talk. I feel I got top-dollar value for my undergrad education at UTK, and continue to hold the institution in extremely high regard. So, we welcome contributions and commentary on all things Tennessee here.
