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).
