I'm with you here. I am a UT grad and proud of it and was thrilled when Johnny came home. I too was a Colts and Johnny U guy and was thrilled to watch Bert Jones become a Colt because I remember watching him play against our Vols. I love TN college football but love the NFL. I am a Colts guy and hope they get back on top. Until then, I root for Peyton and the Broncos to win a few titles so all those Tom Brady/Belichick worshippers can finally shut up.I grew up in Knoxville as a UT fan and went to school there and put two kids through. NFL-wise, I followed the Colts with JohnnyU, Ray Berry, Tom Matte, Lenny Moore, Bubba Smith & Co.
The marriage of Peyton and my colts was pure bliss, but that's gone.
Now I'm a Broncos fan, and will be as long as PM plays there. Maybe later I'll rekindle my affair with the colts.
