To all the UT fans still proudly displaying...

[CampBlount]

...their Power T front license plates, their Orange TriStars, their interlocking UTs, their UT Alumni, their Longhunter VOLS decals and all the other myriad Big Orange logos on their vehicles -- this Bud's For You!

I was out running errands this weekend in beautiful and prosperous Williamson County and was struck by how many of us, including myself, still proudly proclaim ourselves UT fans, amid a sea of bandwagoneers with Sissy As and Flattened Gs and all the rest adorning their vehicles in this melting-pot suburb of corporate relocatees.

We're down but we're not out. It's still OUR State. If I had the wherewithal, I'd buy all you VFLs a craft beer of your choice -- or at least a Bud.

 

[BDP!]

I’ll meet you at the Cool Springs Brewery.

I have my UT alumni plates on and I live in Alabama.

Got my front plate on still here in Georgia. Seen many who do. And I still wear my UT lanyard everyday for the past 12 years.


I might need to wash that..

I thought you’d have burned them by now

I still rock all my gear!!

During work I have to go face some Auburn fans later today who I last saw and was joking around with prior to our Ga State ass whuppin and I'm not really looking forward to it. But these colors don't run!! Always representing all year round VFL!!

 

[WoodsmanVol]

VOLS forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vol524]

You don't have to look long to figure out I'm a VFL. The bandwagon crew grip my azz. I was at Lowe's this morning. Dude with a Bama hat on says Roll Tide and laughs. I look at him and say tell me something. Who was the Tide's coach before Saban? He just stands there and says I don't know. I just laughed and said oh your a real fan all right.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

We’re all still fans. I want them to win every game.

But some of us have adult minds and are realistic. Tennessee is bad at football and has been for a while now. They’re not going to be good at all this year.

I still wear orange.

My coworkers think I'm obnoxious and crazy for the amount of orange I wear.

Just remind them that they lost to the same QB and team that Georgia State shut down.

Has anyone besides one poster said anything about not being a UT fan anymore? None of us are going to burn our gear because we suck right now. Just because we can admit that instead of overlooking it and acting like all is well doesnt mean we are turning in our VFL card and its quite the opposite actually

The only Tennessee thing I ever "got rid of" was my 98 Fiesta Bowl national champions shirt...it was ingested into an air conditioner in my tent in the middle east during an Afghanistan deployment.

I wear orange every week, especially on game day. When we beat Florida and Alabama I wear it everyday, all weak.

Some dudes who got their asses whipped by Tennessee is the correct answer.

Got no problems wearing my Vols gear here in Illinois -- Illinois football has sucked so long nobody cares, and Vols being # 1 in basketball for a month made more than a few jelly

GA fans are easy to shut down. Just ask about their last championship.

Nothing wrong with the AF.

[Russdaddy2027]

I'm in Georgia surrounded by obnoxious dawg fans. I wear my orange and when they ask why(and they just can't resist the urge) I reply We ain't like UGA fans we don't just wear our colors when if win......

Where I live in in the southern part of Illinois, I see more vehicles with a Power T than a Block I.
Of course, I also see more front runners with UK and Bama decals than anything else. Which generally makes me want to puke.

There's not a more beautiful color in this world than the PMS 151 Orange.
