Are any of y’all from other cities???

[Proud Army Wife]

I loved it there, but could not handle the winters

Have you been out here during a winter? They’re not as bad as you’d think. It’s a dry climate so it doesn’t feel as cold as the temperature suggests. I’m a southeastern woman born and raised my whole life and I’m fine lol.

I haven't, but have seen some temperature updates . It is pretty though, I wanna spend a few days there.

It’s so vast out here. When you’re driving or up on the mountain just looking out, it’s very prehistoric looking. We’ve been to 5 or 6 different cities and numerous towns so far. We saw a wild bighorn sheep out here a couple months ago. Still haven’t made it to Jackson or Yellowstone, but it’s on the list.

Have lived in Phoenix (Chandler) Arizona about 20 years. Vol Nation is surprising well represented out here. Found out one co worker out her is in the Lady Vols softball hall of fame and another co worker’s grandfather played for UT under Neyland. The UT brand is strong out here. When I wear my gear most reactions are positive and the people have pretty good knowledge of our program. Also have a DAWG fan at work but he’s courteous enough to not bark at me. Spent a total of 12 years in Knoxville including college years. GBO.

Wheaton Illinois. Chicago suburb. Grew up in Chattanooga

We just drove through going, and coming from Idaho. We did stay the night in Rock Springs (i think it was) on the way home. I wanted to drive through Colorado during daylight, so we stated there. I'd love to explore it. You visit those places, take pics and share them!

 

[SCRocket]

Born and raised and still live in upstate S.C. All I see mostly is Clemson fans. I love telling them who is the real big .

 

[Nkyvolfan]

Walton, Boone County, Ky. Sort of a suburb of Cincinnati. UC fans are great and know their place on the food chain. I root for them because of that. Kentucky fans seriously are the most arrogant bunch of people. I love sporting my UT orange and the looks of disgust I get from those clowns.
Go Vols

 

[kcvols1]

I live just north of Atlanta, so Athens is roughly an hour away. I still think Alabama fans are the worst but Georgia fans are rapidly approaching that level. Nothing tops grown adults audibly barking at people.

I’m in Suwanee, GA. The barking only gets louder the closer you love to Athens!

 

[ftsandersvol]

Augusta, GA, so I have to deal with GA fans, Gamecock fans, Clemson fans, and just to add a dash more of misery go ahead and throw in GA Tech fans.

 

[robcovol]

Franklin, Texas, deep in the heart of Aggieland. My friends, mostly Aggies with a few Texas fans, know that I root for Tennessee. I don’t bother them and they return the favor. But those that post on message boards are a different animal.

 

[praxite33]

Charleston, SC, surprisingly not many Gamecock/Tiger diehards down here. I probably see 1 Vol to every 4 SC/Clems

Hey I lived there for five years! My brother still does.

Maybe I’ll make a thread in the pub

Cane Bay Area, to be more specific.

No shade, but it's all considered Charleston to anyone that hasn't or doesn't live here

 

[BruisedOrange]

Lived 20 years in New Orleans. But our first New Years there was THAT Sugar(Vols) Bowl!

My Tennessee gear had cred for several years just off of that victory.

 

[VolCalls]

Lafayette, IN. Pronounced LAH-fay-yet up here.

I wear my Vol stuff 2x per week usually, especially on the weekends.

As you can imagine, Purdue fans abound up here. We live 8 miles from Purdue. They all want their FB coach fired, and haven't been relevant since Former Tennessee Head Coach Jeff Brohm left town for his alma mater.

Basketball season is upon us though. That's where all their energy goes.

Sucks I can't really brag about either major sport to them, because they'll just say "scoreboard", and they'll be right...

Tennessee head coach?

 

[Spawn]

Grapevine, Texas. I love it here, but get tired of hearing about the Texas teams.

West Ashley unfortunately lol

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Am in Baton Rouge, definitely LSU country, and sometimes root for them ... but sometimes not.

So I’m from Lubbock, TX and have to deal with all the red raider fans here in town. I was just wondering if any of y’all besides SEC towns have to deal with being a die hard fan but feeling like all these people love to see us lose. I was at the bar watching our game and I will just have to watch the meaningful ones at home from now on. I watch these crappy raiders play every week and you thought we were delusional. They just don’t understand what it means to us or at least me. I don’t say anything when the sanders sons are scoring all over y’all. They told me that they were a louder stadium than us. Lemme know if y’all have to kinda deal with this in your city

WEST BY GOD VIRGINIA , everyone here likes or loves the vols. Rocky Top is a favorite. CFB believe it or not is just as big here as most sec schools, likely due to not much going on, so they like us for our passion. When we played wvu they liked us even more despite the score, just a culture fit. Like how TN fans are generally cool with. When I chatgpt the question "if vol fans had to have a second favorite team who would it be" the result is WVU

Lived in Ft. Myers, FL for quite a while- lot of UF fans, especially in the Urban days.
Now in Charlottesville, VA- actually quite a few Tennessee fans around here, lots of Power T's on cars, license plates, etc. UVA doesn't care about football so no comments from them. Do get some comments from the VT fans though.

When I was in Nelson county near cville people liked the vols and thought I was exotic for it lol

 

[adam.vol]

I wouldn’t share too much personal information here. Someone is taking screen shots of posts here to display on twitter, and they aren’t editing out anything. That got me thinking: If you give out a location here, an email a few months from now, and a phone number next season when you trade memorabilia - someone’s bot could easily have enough of your identity to take from you.

I’m just reminding you all that anyone can create an account here. Don’t give away any more personal information than you can stand for anyone in the world to have.

 

[easttnbuck]

I lived there for 3 years. Surprisingly, the Auburn fans were worse than Alabama fans when I mentioned I was a Vol. Alabama fans called us "their respected rival". They hated Fulmer though. I was there when Alabama just started to get good: 2006-2009. In fact, Auburn had all the hype when I first arrived (2006).

Live where NC,Georgia and Tennessee meet. Georgia fans are very numerous here I'm closer to Athens than Knoxville I think

 

[UTblood4life]

I'm from Hendersonville TN, now Phx Az
