I became a Vanderbilt fan in 1989 - 90 when I suddenly realized I liked yelling loud at Vanderbilt games, and I began experimenting with yelling and what it could do for me and what it could do for the team. A sociological experiment. I went through a period of faxing messages to the team and coaches. I'm glad Don Yates created Vandymania.com. Now I'm socially acceptable again. Stay hopeful: Even your most aggressive asocial tendencies can be productive. Perhaps this is the truth football teaches us.

My wife, Star, is the only Star of the family. All the football players signed her gold dress on fan day. It's true I wrote and sometimes perform a stupid song called "Chuck Tucker the Chicken Plucker." It is not true that I have been invited to play this comical, stupid song on the Grand Ol' Opry.
