    The reason Tennessee football songs are so popular this year is because Tennessee is playing at a significantly higher level than they have been over the past decade-plus… safe to say people from Tennessee (Nashville) are pretty happy about it-Country singers and songwriters included

    There's just something about Days That End in Why that grabs my attention. That one is definitely my favorite. I do agree that this "love overtakes college football" songs have gotten a little much. I kinda want someone to have a different but fun take where they fall in love with someone but can't continue cause they're a fan of their rival team.

    One Thing At A Time is my initial favorite, followed by Tennessee Fan, and then Days That End In Why.
    The Tennessee song did have the nice twist with him stealing the girl from Bama and turning her orange. But he's already done "Had Me At Halftime" which is just too similar. Days That End In Why was decent, had some nice writing, just not super catchy to me.

    Don't mind the haters Grady. We all have our own opinions, that's what makes the world interesting. Just because someone has a different opinion, on subjective material, doesn't mean it's wrong. Be pretty boring if we all had the same opinion. Keep up the great work Grady!

    Grady! Love your videos man, you rock. Just my two cents (even though no one asked lol 😂): I agree that subject-wise Tennessee fan is not the most interesting song, BUT melodically and lyrically an exceptionally well written song. The way that the lyrical turns of phrase dance a seamless dance with the melody is near perfect. Sure, not super deep, and I am a sucker for deep, thought provoking lyrics, but I think the songs depth and impressive nature comes from how structurally sound it is. There’s beauty in perfect design I’ve come to find. Certainly an art to putting all the pieces together beautifully, even if the picture the puzzle creates isn’t super intricate.

    It’s Tennessee fan, One thing at a time, Days that end in why
    I’m not tired of the college football songs. I don’t really care about what the songs are about to that much of an extent, more of how they sound. And it would have to be Orange and White, Tennessee Fan, and then waaaay down would be Tennessee orange.

    Great video. My fave is also One Thing at a Time, it’s giving me track record vibes. Also the whole time I just wanted to untie the knot in your hoodie string

    Muscadine Bloodline had a song in quarantine called “everyday that ends in why.” Couldn’t stop thinking of that when I heard it

    I love college football but when Evan said OHL hockey, my soul got happier. 67’s let’s go!
