Cool thread. Just now seeing it as I was in the Canadian Rockies for the past 10 days skiing and seeing the sights. Wore one of my Tennessee shirts on the return trip Thursday and got a “Go Vols” from one of the passenger screening agents in the Calgary airport.

As for the thread topic, my wife and I both grew up in Athens (TN) and graduated from UT in the early ‘80s. Have lived in Huntsville, AL, for 30+ years (minus 3 years in London), but like many others have said, I’ll always be a Tennessean. Have 3 kids who were all born in a Huntsville but are all die-hard Vol fans despite graduating from AL schools (UAH and Auburn x2).

I've been to Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, and Banff a few times. Was that where you guys were?
 
None that I’m aware of. But would meet up with you for games if you like. I assume AllSports or Bdubs would have the games on.

Yes. We were in Panorama for a few days skiing with our sons and then bounced back and forth between Lake Louise, Banff, and Jasper for a few days before returning home. The scenery was breathtaking with a lot of snowy landscapes and frozen lakes and waterfalls. Saw a little wildlife (elk and big-horn sheep), but they were all near the villages, not “out in the wild.” All-in-all, a great trip!

SWVA is full of Vols. UT is probably the 2nd biggest fan base in this area, by a huge margin.

I’ve been asked many times why I’m a UT fan instead of VT. In the 70s and 80s VT was terrible and the only CFB we got on our 2 channels were either UT or UVA. UT games were easier to get on the radio too.
