I go to a couple UAB games a year. Go Blazers!

I also pull for Troy, Samford, North Alabama, South Alabama, pretty much any state school not Alabama or Auburn.

I've also been to every Papajohns.com Bowl so I've been pulling for USF the past 3 years and Cincy the past 2.

Michigan - Mom's best friend went to Michigan and I grew up with it
Wisconsin - Mom's from Wisconsin and I root hard for the Badgers (same place I got my Packers blood from)
Notre Dame - Catholic, and after going to the game in 2005, I have a soft spot in my heart for them. Nicest fans I've ever come across
Arizona State - Born in Tempe...Gotta cheer for the Sun Devils
Virginia - Thought about going to UVa, have family in the area
Louisville - They hate 2 teams I hate (Memphis, Kentucky), an enemy's enemy is my friend

That's basically it...

Tennessee takes precedence over all
Michigan is #2. When any teams play each other, it'll generally go down this pecking order.

Georgia Tech is the only other school I pull for. Been to a couple games (including a few weeks ago when they upset VT). I was born and raised in the Atlanta area and my Grandfather went to school there. I also plan to get my degree in Structural Engineering there after I finish my degree in Architecture here at UT. However if the two played, there is absolutely no question in who I would be pulling for. GO VOLS!! (Born and raised with orange blood!)

I don't "follow" any team other than the Vols. There are a couple of teams I pull for as long as they are not playing the Vols, or the Vols would not benifit from their loss. I tend to pull for Florida State because they are the enemy of both UF and the U. I also pull for LSU for some reason as long as they are not playing us. I really don't know why.

I'm all Vol but keep up with the Warriors and the Trojans. Mom is from Hawaii and pops is a Tennessee native but a SoCal alum. Home base has always been in Tennessee and my kin folk here always kept the Vols in sight and in mind as I was growing up out west.

Arkansas, Oklahoma and Memphis in that order. Ive been a Razorback fan my entire life. My dad was born and raised in Oklahoma so i enjoy watching them with him. Lived right outside Memphis my whole life so i do like to see the Tigers do well. I hate Ole Miss, Alabama, Florida, Auburn and LSU for what its worth.

Fan of the Tigers for over 40 years, being thats where Im from. It would be nuts to catch a UT-MU bowl game.

I follow Penn State. Not sure how it ever happened but since I was a kid I've been sort of drawn to that program. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Joe Pa. I love the traditional blue and white unis. I love Beaver Stadium!

I certainly wouldn't take them over Tennessee but if I were not Vols fan, Penn St would definitely be my #1 team.

Michigan - dad is from michigan, i so i rooted for them, don't really much care anymore though

Mizzou - i'm in big 12 country here in St. Louis, so as a favor to my pals, i root for them. They've become Vols fans as well (perhaps more so than mizzou fans)

Penn St. - I've always been a big fan of Joe Pa and i like their uniforms. Prolly some of the best in all sports, imo.

I grew up in Columbus Georgia and have been to a ton of Auburn games, so I kinda follow the Tigers but am by no means a "fan"... As an aside, I have never seen Auburn lose a game at Jordan-Hare while I was in attendance. My old boss played baseball at AU in the 60's and after I told him this he gave me two tix for the first Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare and sure enough, the Tigers won. He still sends me tix for games from time to time....

My brother in law is a die hard Michigan fan, but since he joined the fam he roots for and follows the VOLS! I had to move to this god forsaken state of ohio 4 years ago and had to transfer to Univ. Of Toledo my senior year, and I won't go to any games, let alone follow any other team! I'll watch other games when UT is not playing, is it just me?

Ain't no shame.

I grew up in Tallahassee going to Noles games in the 80's and 90's, so I pull for them. Cholly Ward was the shizzle. Dan Kendra was Tebow before Tebow was cool (he played fullback in the NFL, BTW)

My brother went to Nebraska, so I pull for them. I still love to watch that run by Tommy Frazier against his home state 'Turds in '95.

BUT, being a third generation Volunteer assures that I will tell them two to s--- it when they face off against the Big Orange.

I'd go to Toledo games if I were you. A football game is a football game. I just love being at them.
I grew up in eastern North Carolina. My dad went to NC State, so we went to three or four of their home games a year. Also, my best friend had East Carolina season tickets, so I went to lots of those games too.

Quite a few Mizzou fans here!

I grew up rooting for Missouri since most of my extended family is there, and also because both of my parents went to Mizzou for undergrad. I expected to go there myself until we moved here to Knoxville about four years ago. A Tennessee/Missouri game would be a lot of fun.
