A question for out of state fans?

I live in Birmingham, AL and see UT stuff on a regular basis. I try to get to about 4-5 games a year and maybe the bowl game or the Bama game when it's in Tuscaloosa.

Hey Man! I'm in Fred'brg! We try and make a game or two a year also.
Do ya'll get a hotel room or take a camper? We usually take the motorhome and stay down by the Marriott.
There's not a lot of places to park the bus! I wish UT would come up with a better solution for game weekends.

BTW... I see way more Bama **** here now than I used to. I think the larger enrollment at Bama has increased the local alumni population here. I used to see a bunch of UT stuff here. Not so much any longer.

We live near Destin, Fl and go to one home game and two away games each season. We've been parking our motorhome on the parking garage by the Marriott for the past 5 years or so!

I'm in Dayton Ohio and there are a ton of vol fans here, starting to see more of the power T than three or four years ago too! I live in the burbs and know I have at least 3 neighbors close who we exchange the VOL sign with.

I use to have season tickets but try to make it for a game each year, about a 5 hour drive for us.

Ohio State fans are the most obnoxious people in the world and are still extremely butt hurt about Bill Duff blockading Eddie George!

I am about 30 mins. away in Wilmington. OSU fans are awful.

Huge Vols crowd in south west OHIO. Power T's on cars everywhere. Regularly see vols t-shirts. I travel 4 hours to Knox probably 3-4 times a year.

I live in Columbia SC, ( wife went to Clemson and USCe grad school and still works here). I'm retired and probably see a UT logo here about once a week, sometimes more, (not counting my own). It's a 5 hour drive for me and almost cost/time prohibitive, so it's rare indeed I get to Knoxville, but look for me in '18 @ Columbia, when the new streak hits two. GBO

That reminds me, I DO see plenty of Vols orange and T's when we go to the beach at Sea Grove, by Seaside. :rock:

My sister lives on Hotel Road near Lexie.

We used to grow tobacco in Lois...nasty and labor intensive back in the day.

My best friend lives in Lois! I hung tobacco when I was a little kid with my dad and his parents.. Nobody grows tobacco these days here. Mostly just corn and soybeans.

Tulsa, OK area....I see an occasional power T on vehicles during my commute, some license plates. Not much Vols gear worn out here however I will say this.....after the last Vols/Sooners match up Tennessee won a ton of respect.

Life has me in Roanoke. 4 hours away. I'm at every home game and typically the South Carolina game when away (same distance) and usually make the bowl game.

Saw quite a few Vols fans in Alaska surprisingly. Ran into one in Kosovo. Saw plenty in Columbia, SC and Savannah, GA too.

I used to drive 6 1/2 hours (one way) when I was stationed in GA. It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive for me now.

You drive slow :). Took me about 4:15-4:30 when I lived in Columbia.

Every time I wear UT gear in town I get "Go VOLS" shouted at me. I see power T's on vehicles daily. I'm about 2.5 hours from knoxville and about 40 mins south of the state line. Still see lots of Uga stuff around.. but there are tons of Vol fans in this area.

I live in NW Ohio and I drive about 7 hours once a year to watch the Vols. I have been coming down since 2010. My first game was against the Oregon Ducks and I fell in love with Neyland stadium! I see Tennessee stickers on vehicles a few times a month and people wearing Tennessee hats and shirts. My wife works in Toledo which is an hour north of us and she'll see power T's on cars also.

Picking up some steaks and stuff this morning at the local grocery store. Walking through the produce section and heard a woman's voice say to me, "Go Vols!" Looked up to see a random smiling face.

She had recognized my hat. As has already been attested by many here, we are everywhere.
