Before the Titans came to town, we were fully focused on the Vols. Once the pros arrived in town, the middle Tennessee crowd started with Titan and their regular Vol season tickets.
Over time, it became too much...sometimes a game in Knoxville on Saturday and then Sunday in Nashville on same weekend. Over time, many dropped the Vols tickets because of the travel.
Around Nashville, you see an equal amount of mixed gear between the two.
Put the pro team in Birmingham, and it will eventually cause the same disruption on Bama and Auburn.
You very well make think that is wrong, but Vols football went to pot when Titans arrived. East Tennessee doesn't have enough people / players to pull the wagon without more support from middle and west Tennessee.
