The Memphis debate will come up until the end of eternity. It is just like every other city with good and bad parts. What can we say about East Knoxville? Was very happily raised there and am raising my own. There are a lot of UT fans and alums, so it is an important city for UT. East TN is beautiful and my 4 years in Knoxville were a blast, but folks need to realize that a lot of UT supporters come from in and around Memphis.
