THE VOLUNTEER TAILGATE PARTY is up, with many links to blog posts from Tennessee bloggers — including Thomas Nephew! [Thomas Nephew is from Tennessee? Who knew? — Ed. Not me. But SKBubba’s never wrong!]

UPDATE: SKBubba emails:

Well, you don’t have to technically be in Tennessee to be in the RTB. We have a big tent. Thomas had some sort of connection, like he went to U.T. or something, I don’t recall now. At least that’s what he said when he applied.

As you can see, it’s an exclusive club. But be sure to check out the whole Brigade and read the many fine bloggers you’ll find there.
