| I guess Clay Travis said it best for me: I'm a Vol fan because I simply cannot imagine not being one.

| Actually it is a funny/sad story of why I am a UT fan.
When I was a kid my best friend starting in kindergarten was a big UK fan, I loved to argue and fight with him. I started watching UT games and taliking smack to him about how my team was better than his because we all know how UK fans feel about us. He had his UK shirts and I had my UT shirts. We were best friends but fought and argued like bitter enemies when it came to UT vs UK. Unfortunately he passed away when we were in the eighth grade but I will always remember our heated battles.
I actually picked to like UT to piss him off and to have something to argue with him about, It really stuck with me all these years and always will! | |

| Because my Dad raised me that way. Went to undergrad and law school two other places. So I guess I'm one of the "sidewalk alums." Now my son is up there. So proud. | |

| I seen more Tennessee games up in Mo. on TV than MU games around the Shuler era. I liked their style of play then and wished MU could be that kind of team. In 1999 I met a girl from Knoxville who was a football fanatic as any man ever was. She hated living up there as much as I did, and I was a native. We moved here in 2004 and catch as many games as we can at Neyland.

| Because my dad watched games when I was a little kid, I remember seeing the checkerboard endzones, and the T's on the side of the helments, and Rocky Top. I may be strange but I love going down the interstate and seeing all the car flags and "T's" on the sides of cars, and stopping to eat and everybody in the restaraunt has on orange. Its great to be a Tennessee Vol!
