I've often wondered what percentage of the folks in this forum live around Knoxville. Or anywhere in the state.
So here's a chance to nail it down a little.
For those of you who are not Vols fans, happy to have you here, but please pass on this poll. The vast majority of you live outside Tennessee, and you'd throw off the profile. Thanks.
Go Vols!
p.s. and EDIT: synthesizing results -- I'll update this if the percentages change significantly --
1. About 10% of us (32 of 308) actually live in the Knoxville area. So we're mostly not a Knoxville crowd. That's perhaps surprising, to some here.
2. Almost two-thirds of us (190 of 308, 62%) currently live in Tennessee. That seems about right, actually.
3. Among those of us who do live in state, we're split 16% west, 34% central, 50% east. That's interesting.
Born and raised in Winchester, still live there today. Knew in 1967 (7 years old) when my great uncle Jack and aunt Virgie took me to my first Tennessee game in Knoxville that I would go to college there. Had several opportunities to play small college football (or basketball) but walked on at UT when I got invited to do so. Unfortunately, during my freshmen year I decided to be a full time college student. Still some regret to this day..........loved my 4 1/2 years in Knoxville, which included working at the World's Fair.
