I just got told by a UT Alumn(with a law degree) that I am a bandwagon fan simply because I have no affiliation with the school and cheer for them. So how many bandwagon fans of that nature are on this board????

Im an Air Force guy and I got so pissed at a guy in my squadron over this last year. He's a Va Tech alum and I heard him tell a new guy who loves the Hokies that he couldn't be a real fan because he didn't go to Tech. Because I didn't go to UT, does that mean I'm not a fan? I went to Carson Newman for a year, enlisted, finished school at South Carolina and Embry-Riddle and now I teach ROTC at the U of Memphis. Know what I am? A VFL! If you are born in Tennessee you are by definition a Volunteer. I am a military volunteer which is the true essence of the word and nickname for that matter. From Willie Gault to Josh Richardson, I love the Vols with all my heart! $crew anybody who says otherwise!

Good man. Hope you are enjoying Memphis. I was not born here but was raised here. Ended up a Vol after being a legacy after my brother went. Keep supporting my friend.

I find this a little ignorant because growing into a UT fan by myself at age 9, I was absolutely crushed senior year of high school once I got accepted to Tennessee and found out I couldn't afford out-of-state tuition. Not everyone can afford going to an out of state school, some cant afford college at all.

Should have asked the condescending prick if he was a fan of pro football. Then ask him what team he played for. I would have.

I didn't attend UT and I am still a rock solid fan since 86 when we destroyed a bandwagon fan school in the Sugar Bowl.

I'm in the same boat with ya brother. Not from Tennessee, didn't attend Tennessee but one of their biggest fans. If I'm a bandwagon, whatever. Then I've been one since the 80's. I became a fan the first FB game I watched. The checkerboard endzone, Rocky Top playing....come on. I was hooked.

Apparently your lawyer friend doesn't understand the definition of "bandwagon fan" The dictionary says "see Alabama football."
If you start cheering for a team just because they're winning then you stop when they start losing, you're a bandwagon fan. Has nothing to do with whether you went there to school or not. I was a UT fan before I went there, but that doesn't mean I haven't been a fan all my life!
