Tennessee Football Turns One Fan’s Trouble Into Triumph

Here’s a story we can all rally around. Earlier this week, an elementary school teacher in Tallahassee posted a photo of a student wearing a makeshift University of Tennessee shirt. The school had a “College Colors Day”, and this particular student wanted to show off his Volunteer fandom. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a Tennessee shirt. Instead, he made his own, complete with his own design.

Initially this story had a sad tone. The teacher’s post described how the young man was bullied for his shirt, and how she had to comfort him.
