I work at UT. It was very exciting to see the parade of trucks, security, and just the general electricity in the air! It was also great to see the students excited about something. There were students everywhere at booths for Obama or Clinton. They were standing on the corners with signs.
Those of us old geezers remember the civil rights demonstrations of the 60's when the students were PASSIONATE about change. The UT campus sorta had that "feel" today. Not a feeling of unrest, but a feeling of movement, excitement, electricity.
Sometimes I think our young people are quite apathetic, so it was good to see them out and about and excited about the political process.
Perhaps though, they were not really excited, they were just "there"
Anyway, whatever their motivation, it was fun to watch!
