I would say on most Football Saturdays in Knoxville there are around that many people in the downtown area. JMO, of course.

I'm going to go out on a pretty short limb and say that that there are well over 1,000,000 people that are going to love the ride to the top

This was exactly my thought when I posted the question about 400,000.. at least a milli... AT LEAST.

I would say this is accurate. I would say in the State of Tennessee alone, of those who follow college football, 80% are UT fans. Of the other 20%, most are transplants and bandwagon fans of other teams.

Add to that our transplants to other areas and around the world and I would say your probably right.

Vanderbilt MAY have 5% of the football population as fans, and I'm guessing that I'm being very generous. They can't even fill their own stadium with the help of orange and white clad fans who had nothing better to do with their time and money than to go watch their pathetic excuse for a football program.

I remember a year or two ago from one of the NY sites or papers they estimated the size of fanbases. UT was in the top 5 or 10, with well over 1,000,000 estimated.

That sounds pretty accurate. I would guess that, when you exclude bandwagon and fair weather fans (The last 4 or 5 years would have weeded those folks out for us), we are probably in the top three.

Some estimate it at around 3,000,000. I think that's more accurate.

I'm honestly not sure if it's that high, but I'm just as honestly not sure that it isn't. Tennessee has fans around the world. I think it's our awesome team colors. Very distinct.

We have the greatest number of "true" fans in the world. Just look at twitter. Gibson asked us and OHState to retweet his tweets. Ours was well over 1000 while OState was around 300. I don't even think its close.

Many other recruits have pointed this out as well. We have one of the most avid and passionate fan bases in the country. People have forgotten these last 6 years just how big and passionate we are. They will soon see again. Only this time we will be even stronger. Adversity has a way of doing that. I know it's made me a bigger fan. Which is also why I don't understand the bandwagon mentality at all!

One thing I'm not looking forward to is seeing all the Bama hats in IL become Tennessee hates, then everyone will assume I'm also a bandwagon fan. Oh well, it'll be worth it.

"I know we've had a couple of schedule changes but I know for sure we're going to be at Tennessee on Saturday," he said. "We might also be there Friday. Ole Miss will be on Thursday and Friday and Mississippi State might be on Friday also. We might not go to Mississippi State because the coach might not be in town because of something with his family."

Rivals100 defensive tackle Tim Settle will be taking these visits with DeBerry."

DeBerry has become my #1 defensive want for this class. Kahlil McKenzie is #2. DeBerry could be a dominant force for years to come. Film, measurables, just a natural athlete and true football player. Superstar written all over him.
