When UTC merged with UT in 1969 there was a huge little brother complex in Chattanooga for a long time. I think time has healed that feeling and most Moc fans now are also Vol fans. Never made any sense to me except for basketball since it's the only sport that there is any level of competitiveness. We went to a Joint Alumni meeting right before the football game this year and everything was hunky dory between the 2 alumni bases.
I have been of the opinion that you should support 2 schools, your alma mater and the Flagship campus of the state you reside in. The Flagship is one of the most important institutions in any state bringing millions of dollars of exposure to the state. And yes I believed that for the 25 years I lived in Georgia.
