Nashville fans

Lived here 4 years. My theory is that most people who call themselves Vandy fans are really just people who don't like UT. I only know 2 real Vandy fans and they both work there. The rest would rather hate on us than love on the Dores.

Every time I've been to see the Vols play on West End there has been more orange in the stadium than black and gold.

I'm sure that there are many of you who were at the '98 game and saw this as well....We parked in Centennial Park [they allowed that then] and there were orange tents, orange flags, orange covered people, and orange everything all over the park. Then we walked to the stadium and I couldn't believe what I saw; at least 90 percent of that stadium was orange..When the Vandy team ran out there was thunderous booing...It was sr. day and when they introduced each sr., there was an overpowering "boo" for each...That's the only time that I've ever had a twinge of feeling sorry for them...That quickly healed as the Vols absolutely stomped them and of course went on to win the NC...

that was pretty much the same theme every UT game at Little Neyland stadium...the late 80's through the early 2000's(outside of the good Vandy Defense years Woody was there) were 90% UT fans,and a 100% chance of UT opening a 50 pt beatdown can of whoop azz on Vandy...

I live in Nashville. The Vol fans exist, but are not plentiful. Tons of people streaming in from out of state. Nashville is in the top 25 cities in the country now, population wise.

This.

Times have changed, people have changed, Nashville has changed and in the last decade or so even Vandy has changed. The sports landscape in general really.

Nashville itself has what, at or over 600K locals, even more in Davidson County as a whole, and that doesn't factor in growth form Murfreesboro, Lebanon, and the Clarksville areas. Add to that being a major education and transit hub and it isn't surprising you see the so called bandwagon fans. A lot of them nowadays may well be alumni of different schools, or have friends or family at a school.

I'm sure Vandy probably has plenty of fans and alumni, and it is a very large employer in the area, they've just really not had anything significant to celebrate.
