Chris,

Thanks for the message. My wife and I are expecting our first child in July, so I thought Dads Inc. would be a good educational resource for me. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions in the coming months.

I bleed Orange! I am a season ticket holder and work closely with the VASF raising scholarship funds for students wishing to attend UT. I am actually listening to the Vandy game online since we cannot get it on TV! I will be in Neyland next weekend for Coach Fulmer's last game. What is your tie to UT?

Daddy Defense

Would anyone be interested in joining a team or just coming out for a game? The first game of this season is Monday, April 20th at 6:00pm at Hohlt Park, located at W. 53rd and Annette Street.

We completely give moms their props, but we're just trying to get dads actively engaged in child-rearing in non-traditional ways. We were founded on the Friday before Father's D… Continue

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
