The season is almost here y'all! It seems like the Tennessee Vols are the trendy "dark horse" pick for analysts around the country. With the hype and sure-to-follow success, I predict a lot fewer crimson "A's" (yuck) and a lot more Orange "T's" (that's more like it) on vehicles here in South Tennessee and beyond.

How do you guys feel about this? Are you happy to see the abundance of UT representation, knowing good and well many of the people donning it were sporting crimson a year or two ago?

Or would you rather see less Orange but have the security of knowing those sporting it are true to TN like you?

Personally, I'd prefer to have the Bandwagoneers. They make my area more beautiful and are certainly helping with my local pollution problem (crimson). That said, I'll only have a brew with one if he buys. (Sucker.)

Anyways, I SAID IT'S GREAT......TO BE.....A TENNESSEE VOLLLLL....!!!!!!

Yup starting to see a lot more Orange and less Crimson on the west end of the state. It's starting to look like the 90s around here again.

If you have a growing bandwagon that means your coach is doing all the right things. Having fair weather friends around must mean times are getting good.

Go Vols

I've sported my orange during the ups and the downs. Had to put up with a lot of crap these last several years and tell a lot of folks to F*** off. I don't care for bandwaggoners in general, but if it means I get to see less bandwaggon Bammer fans here in NW TN then heck yes, jump on.

I just have to laugh at band wagon people.

My son played football with a die hard Gator fan who had a huge Gator logo that covered most of the back window of his truck.

Now you can see the residue of that ugly old Gator logo where he tried to scrape it off, LOL!

In place of that is now a big, new Big Orange power T logo.

I just have to laugh at that image because it looks like Tennessee is walking all over that ugly Gator.

The band wagon people will return but there's nothing like the 100% totally loyal die hard Vols fans!

We all bleed Tennessee Orange, always have, always will no matter what the record is at the end of any season.

It's ALWAYS great to be a Tennessee fan!!!

3 "Gators"?

Can we please stop using the term? It's possibly offensive to some. Even if it's not, it's a 2nd-grade level diss and makes us look ignorant and childish.

I just don't see the point in being a bandwagon fan. It just doesn't make any sense to me. They can't feel any emotion during a game because they don't have any attachment to any program ("Oh, Alabama lost this game. Oh well, I'll just like that other team now"). Their friends and family undoubtedly ridicule them for their constant betrayals. Plus, from an economic standpoint, it's unreasonable. They have to buy new merchandise from each program they hop on the bandwagon for.

They're all bandwagon fans, they're just changing up which team's wagon they're hitching to. They're not "real fans" of any program in particular and so long as you keep that in mind, their switch from Crimson to Orange won't be so disgusting (because personally anyone that has ever been a bama fan, bama can have them now and forever IMO).

Folks, the only thing that's been nice throughout this process is knowing who the TRUE vols fans are. But bandwagon fans = success, so bring em on.

Bandwagon fans bring their wallets with them, and we could use that. Also bandwagon fans fill empty seats which is another useful thing. Lastly bandwagon fans put away their last flavor of the month gear, so that is less Bama and gator decals I have to see around town which is a huge boon imo.

Do I need to spell it out for you?

It's no longer acceptable to use the word "gay" in a derogatory way.

It doesn't bother me, personally, but it does when a Vol fan says it on a Vol forum. I don't want to be associated with it. It's trashy. Alabama is trashy. Alabama's fanbase is trashy. I don't want Tennessee's fanbase to be considered trashy. I don't want to be similar to Alabama in any way possible. Leave the redneck mentality to the ones in Bryant-Denny. When you're posting on a Tennessee website, show some class.

I'm with you, P4H: love seeing the Power T everywhere I look.

I don't mind if they just jumped on the bandwagon, or have been fans forever but finally took the step of spending $8 on a magnetic sticker. I'm good with them, either way.

Just love seeing orange every time I shift my view.

Go Vols!

While I have no use for bandwagon fans anything that would help them ditch their Crimson Tide crap would be fine with me. I was at the mall the other day and saw so much Alabama garbage on people and vehicles I could have sworn that I was in Tuscaloosa.

Just wait until we beat Bama this year. It will happen and the shock waves will be felt far and wide. Those ugly crimson A's will go into hiding.

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law live in NW TN. They love bammer, the Boston Red Sox, and the Atlanta Braves... depending on which one is doing good at the time. Don't they look stupid now, as far as baseball? I haven't heard a peep out of them about baseball. By the way, I'm a die hard Cardinals and, of course, Vols fan. They've shut up about baseball... looking forward to when they shut up about football, although they will likely jump to the Vols bandwagon.

Ridiculous observation. Nobody but a very rare few would lay down a Bama shirt and put on an Orange one. Come on. How absurd. Granted you may see more orange due to the Butchmobile but its not due to Bama fans making a switch. Good grief....
