Thank you! I will think about you and all of our fans that are there in spirit. It should be pretty good. It would be nice to get one for the fans and the Dooley. He needs it.

Born in Nashville, raised in Greenbrier, TN.

Joined the Air Force and was stationed in San Antonio, TX (met Crompton on the riverwalk the night before the Army All American game...he was forgettable.)

Minot, ND (closest FBS school is Minnesota, lots of UT gear in the stores there)

Montgomery, AL (surrounded by Bama and Auburn fans...mostly Auburn in those parts.)

Came to Greensburg, PA to go to school. I'd like to think I've spawned a few new UT fans over the years.

Hi Nation,

Just interested to see where the fanbase for the Volunteers comes from in the world..

This has probably been done before, but hey, it only takes a second to vote!

I'll start off by introducing myself,

I'm 17 from London England and have supported the Vols since July this year... (I know, but you have to start somewhere). I have however been watching American sports since 2005. So I do sort of know my stuff. I am not an ignorant Brit who thinks Football is Rugby is for wimps or anything. I am a passionate fan who only watches American sports. (And owns truck loads of gear)

I started supporting the Vols after making friends with someone who went to UT at a family wedding in July. I was about to start watching College football anyway so I decided to give the Vols a shot. I never looked back! It's such a great community to be a part of and a great team to cheer on. You guys all rock! :rock:

VOLS FOR LIFE!

Stephen

Born and raised in Rogersville on Thanksgiving day, 1972. Named after Jamie Rotella. Saw my first game the following year still wrapped in a blanket when we hosted Georgia Tech. Obviously I dont remember it but I am told my mother nearly got ejected when someone spilled beer on us.

I'm from a little town with a big heart in West Tn. Selmer, Tennessee. Went to UT, work all over the state up to and including Bean Station, Tn. in the East part. Live in Alabama now. They feel sorry for me now that we are in such a bad shape, but we'll be back.

Born in Western North Carolina (lived in Morganton/Hickory area for awhile).

Moved to Johnson City, TN back in early 80's (I was in 3rd grade), and end up moving to Jonesborough during my 4th grade year. Stayed in the area (outside of 1 year in AZ back in 1985) until I graduated High School.

Spent 4 years in Marines, and came back to Johnson City for several years. Graduated ETSU and move to Knoxville (where I live now in Powell).

I was first a UNC fan in basketball (Jordan was man), and became a Tennessee football fan during the 1986 season. Since that season I have been a VFL.

From Fayetteville, TN currently living in Bell, FL. My dad is a UT grad. I wanted to go to UT but couldn't pay out of state tuition. Went to UF instead. I hated going there, but an education is an education. I have cheered for Tennessee ever since I could remember. I'm hoping to move back up there in a year or two. I love watching UT football with my dad on Saturdays.
