If you are reading this, then you are likely a Tennessee Vols fan in the year 2020. At this point, no one would accuse you of being a bandwagon fan or chasing titles. Over the past decade-plus, you have learned a thing or two about disappointment, patience, and loyalty.

Times of tragedy often bring about unique opportunities.... opportunities that, hopefully, will not always be around in the future. While things on The Hill are not where we would want them to be in regards to football, we can find ways to use this to our advantage.

I always tell my wife that she is lucky to have married a Vols fan. The fact that I haven't jumped ship on the Big Orange at this point means that I'm never going anywhere. I'm going to stick it out in good times and bad. Single members of Volnation, lead off with this on a first date. If you audition to be a contestant on the Bachelor/Bachelorette, wear your Tennessee orange and share that in your introduction when you step out of the limo. You may just win the whole thing right there.

Applying for a job? State your Tennessee allegiance right there in your resume. Employers would jump at the opportunity to hire you. Applying for a mortgage? Loan officers would be fools to not trust a Vols fan to follow through on a payment. Calling to confirm my dentist appointment? Don't waste your time.... you know that I'll be there - I'm a Vols fan.

One day, we will be back on top. As sweet as that day will be, you will also have to then bear the eye rolls and the questions like, "can you even name the previous two head coaches?" Until then, follow in the footsteps of George Costanza when he competed against the Andrea Doria survivor for a new apartment. Oh the tales that we could tell....

On my resume, should I use orange paper with a white font or white paper with an orange font?

Very humorous indeed! However, some of us may be driven mad by our allegiance to the Vols. I know I heard of 1 marriage that bit the dust to being a vol fan already.

I agree. I have Benn a loyal Vol fn since 1945 and ill be one for the next 20/25years. I enjoy the high tides and swim through the low tides. Over the years, loyal Vol fans are the backbone of the support and life of Tennessee athletics. Become one and you will understand how the World arounds us functions.

Don’t forget that George‘s greatest success was to do the opposite.

Great post and good advice.

Well said! No matter if we are here to vent about our current situation, have hopes of returning to our former glory (if we just have patience) or are just down right mad, what matters is we are all still here. No matter what, Vol fans are the most loyal fans around.

Remember when we were an awesome team always winning that we had fans on the boards yawning about winning, boasting of selling their tickets, leaving at halftime and taking everything for granted. Hope we never take winning for granted ever again. I dont recall that phenomenon at Bama, PSU, Lsu, Mich OSU, etc. Pride does goeth before the fall.
