More Shoes

​If you’re over twenty-five, or perhaps thirty, you may remember a time when you always made sure you had a t-shirt or something in your college colors. Perhaps you had quite a bit. At least those of us who went to a school where athletics were important you wanted to have something for game day. Most people age out of it at some point. At least the need to have enough for every weekend. If you’ve read other entries on this blog, you know that I am, quite obviously, a nerd about such things. I have a collection of t-shirts and other such things from many colleges and universities. Each time I visit a new school or happen back to one after a long period of time, I make sure to get something. Sometime ago, I shared that I even have a pair of red and black sneakers with the Texas Tech Double-T on them for my doctoral alma mater. Well, this week I nerded out in a big way and bought a second pair of Texas Tech-themed shoes. I was also going to buy a pair for my master’s and undergraduate alma mater Tennessee. The company who makes these shoes make two versions for UT. Both have the state and the “T” on them, with the only difference being that one style is orange on black and the other is white on orange. I would have bought a pair of the white on orange, but they didn’t have my size. Not wanting the black version, I will have to wait until my size gets in stock online. In the meantime, here are my new Red Raider shoes.
