It's fine, I will post it again... I get asked on average once a week by someone on here so I have become quite good at typing it up.
I have been an NFL fan since I watched the 2005 superbowl.
Since about 2007 I became aware of college football but had no way of watching it until 2009.. Even then I only watched the odd game and didn't really take to it, I didn't understand the conference system, there was too many teams, too many bowl games..
Although this year I decided that I was going to watch the college season all the way through and hopefully find a team to follow.
I was then at a Wedding in July, and there was a group of Americans there... Two of them were crazy about US sport so i spent the whole day and night talking to them because it was a rare oppourtunity for me to be able to discuss US sports face to face with anyone... It so happens one of them went to UT and was a massive vols fan, after I mentioned that I was going to get into it this year he convinced me to research and watch some vols games on the sec websites because he said "The Vols are a great team, there is a lot of tradition down there."
So I watched the Vols vs Kentucky game from last year and fell in love... I then searched for a forum which I could use to learn more about them, found vol nation and never looked back! Ta dah! :hi:
