Didn't see this one posted anywhere and got a few good chuckles out of it.

Vols came in at number 3. Texas and Bama in front of us and I cannot really dispute that.

The part on the Vols was actually pretty true

That is pretty good and mostly accurate. Best line about UT is our fans are the result of feeding babies Mountain Dew. A few comments:
- After the 13 men in the field debacle in Baton Rouge, my wife and I were chased in the parking lot by a pack of 4 year olds chanting “Tiger Bait, Tiger Bait”.
- And Bama does lead the league in the number of fans where the closest they’ve been to campus is buying that t shirt at their local Walmart.
- Arkansas isn’t nearly high enough. Calling hogs? That automatically qualifies for a higher ranking.

I'm not going to watch the video because his videos drag on with little entertainment value, but 3 seems low. There is a reason opposing teams don't like playing here and it's not the team. If your fanbase isn't passionate enough to be annoying, then what good are they?

This is a good list, but I agree that he should have UGA higher. They are more annoying than LSU, and (I can't be objective here admittedly) you can make an argument they're annoying than us.

There’s an obvious mistake here. Georgia has supposedly grown people barking at you. Yes, Texas and Bama fans can be insufferable but barking?

The Incredible Barking Humans. I especially love watching the fans on all fours.

Yes. I don’t think you can estimate the effect Rocky Top has on people either though. Opposing fans leave Neyland with a piece of their soul missing after hearing it blasted 100 times. No sweeter sound to me but to others it makes people lose their crap.

Oh, yeah. My wife's aunt in Nashville -- yes, a Vandy fan -- aw, man, she hates to hear Rocky Top. I was at our win at LSU in '22, and we belted it out loud as we could. 😁

Tennessee’s traveling fans are legion. We descend upon other places like an Orange swarm, but we’re good natured to a fault. We’re there to have a good time, enjoy that place and what makes it unique. We spend freely, we’re gracious to our hosts, we’ll stop and place our hats over our hearts to respect your honored dead or the raising of a US flag. We show love of our Vols with a smile on our faces and a kind word for those not fortunate enough to be one of us. Chambers of Commerce celebrate their local team scheduling a visit from the Vols because of us. They don’t do that for any other SEC fan base. Annoying? Maybe when you’re a fan of the visiting team in Neyland, you might be annoyed. But outside that hallowed stadium, we are gracious hosts. Yes, even to Florida fans.

While I was matriculating at UT in the mid 70s, Bama has just beaten the Vols, and a Bama family that had parked on a soft shoulder couldn’t get their station wagon onto the road. That left back tire was spinning in the mud. I was walking by amidst a group of Tennessee students, when a big blonde fellow said, “OK, let’s do it.” We lined up behind and to the side of that car and pushed them onto the road. Splattered with mud, the big blonde fellow said, “Time for a beer.” That’s Tennessee.

Two of the most annoying as a visiting team. Makes me sad for the fans who are stuck with it.
Number 1: Mississippi State Cowbells. I'd hate that even if I was a Mississippi State homer
Number 2: (as stated by @Delmar earlier) Walking down a sidewalk in an orange shirt and having these GA fans barking like dogs in your face. I would like to see an alien land and try and decipher that behavior via their flavor of social anthropology. They'd get in their spaceship and leave.

I live in Alabama. My favorite here at having a cold one with Bama and Barners. What do Alabama fans and Auburn fans have in common? Answer: Neither of them went to school at Alabama.
