Name: Tully FranksAge: 27, though being a Vandy fan (and a New Orleans Saints fan) has probably cost me a few years)Physical appearance: 6'1", large build (picture a linebacker with a beer gut, though I hate beer-blame it on pasta), dark blonde hair, currently sporting a goatee, though sometimes a beard (i'm not the biggest fan of razors, electric or otherwise)Personality: Sometimes quiet and withdrawn, other times loud and obnoxious. Still have a tendency to wear my heart on my sleeve and try to dominate conversation-a hereditary situation I've spent years trying to remedy. Have various shoe logos embossed on the roof of my mouth for some reason ;)Fan history: Been a fan of Vandy athletics since about '82 (6th grade), last time Vandy defeated UT. I hadn't really been a fan of any one college FB team, but figured anything that made these normally obnoxious UT fans silent and bewildered was a good thing. Plus, I liked underdogs as well as the black & gold combination (hence my becoming a Saints fan around the same time). Became a Commodore Club member around 4 years ago and have missed very few FB and MBB games since. Had the wonderful fortune to attend my first Vandy game in November of '94, and watched UT beat the holy crap out of us. Plus, I was with a friend who was a UT fan (never again!). Occupation: Procrastinating. Just ask my wife...er...on second thought, please don't.Hobbies: Musician/songwriter/recording engineer-i've got a really nice studio with lots of gear with pretty lights that i stare at while struggling with writer's block. But hey, the lights ARE cool. I enjoy auto trivia, old cars and tractors, and reading (auto magazines, philosophy and works by Albert Camus, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Douglas Coupland, among others). I also have a tendency to play video games too much (hey, watching Vandy win national championships is addictive). Other tidbits: Not much really. I guess I SHOULD mention that I am married (3 years) to a wonderful woman named Susan. No kids (see occupation) but we do have 2 dogs and a bunch of cats. Come see us in 2JRow 9 (seats 9-11, i think) during B-ball season or Sec.B Row29 seats 19-21 during F-ball season.
