In the spirit of good sportsmanship?

Would you be pulling for both Vandy and Memphis to advance in the playoffs following their outstanding seasons?

The Vols are still alive in the discussion of course but if the missed field goal vs. Georgia knocks Tennessee out of the playoffs - would you then be a temporary fan of in-state cousins, Vanderbilt and/or Memphis to have a historic season?

I believe a few won't but the majority of Tennessee Vol fans will.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

100% no. It’s Vols or screw everyone else

 

[GoVols64]

100% no. It’s Vols or screw everyone else

Well that didn’t take long….

 

[NorCalVol67]

Hell no. Can’t root for Vandy, don’t want Cafego to come down here and kick my ass.

Grew up a Vol fan in Memphis. I despise Tiger High.

 

[SDV]

100%….not

 

[knox73]

I am shocked by these replies. I said "In the spirit of good sportsmanship..." I can't support Lane Kiffin but Clark Lea and Vandy I would. Memphis I actually have no idea of players or coaches.

I understand the responses if Vanderbilt were to win a National Championship in football, it would seem blasphemous. Vandy plays at Texas next and could knock them out of the field. Easy rest of schedule with Auburn, KY and the defenseless Vols.

 

[MEDVOL]

That's gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Absolutely NOT

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

I’m not a Vandy or Memphis fan, I am a Vol fan. I only care about the Vols making it. Period! GBO!

Sir, are you clueless?

Why would we cheer for Vanderbilt for anything EVER?

Obvious NO.

So they can improve in state recruiting? Hella NO

 

[VOLINVONORE]

I don't mind Vandy getting to the playoffs as long as it doesn't keep us out. I don't care if Memphis ever wins another game in any sport.

First of all neither of those teams are making the playoffs

Memphis would have to beat Tulane, Navy and one of them again and that's not happening

2nd no they both are sh*t stains on our state and I revel in their misery and helplessness

 

[Doberman]

LOL…..uhh, no.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Sir, are you clueless?

Obvious NO.

We have a dumb subset of fans who oversell everything some other midmajor smaller programs and their coaches do with no sense of reality

NO! But between the two, I’d rather see Memphis make it to the playoffs.

 

[Voltopia]

Good grief, root for Memphis? Are you high? Put the pipe down.

I mean seriously.

Do Auburn fans root for Alabama? Do Alabama fans root for Auburn?

Do Kentucky fans root for Louisville? Do Louisville fans root for Kentucky?

Do Michigan fans root for Michigan State? Do Michigan State fans root for Michigan?

Let me answer all of these questions at once - NO.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

 

[volfan102455]

No

 

[Freak]

No chance the majority of Tennessee fans pull for either one of those little sisters, should they even make it, and I'm not sure either one will.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

The last thing I need in my life is lip from the few Vandy people I know about how they made the playoffs and we didn't. I am pretty concerned about that game though.

And you misunderstand what being a Vol fan is, if you are willing to support Vandy. I don't mind seeing Vandy beat Bama - because well I don't mind seeing anyone beat Bama - but to support them - just no.

The majority of Vols fans would hope those teams were blown off the field in the first game.

If Clark Lea coached anywhere but the SEC, ND, Mich, OSU, Miami, or Clemson, then I would support him. His teams play disciplined football and he gets the most out of the talent he has.

Only if they are playing someone I like even less. It's more likely that I would be doing something else rather than watching V or M play football.
