For some these are just lyrics. For Tennessee Lady Volunteer fans, they're a lifestyle. Each year these fans traverse the country hoping to see the Lady Vols bring home another championship to Rocky Top. In 2008 the journey leads to the SEC Women's Tournament in Nashville, Tenn. where Lady Vols fans gather for the Big Orange Tailgate.
