umm no I gurantee you the Titans have a bigger in-state following than UT.

The fact of the matter is the Titans were dropped on our state and we grew up on Tennessee football. The Titans would be lucky to have 50% of the (true) fan support UT has IMO.

many students at MTSU and UTC are UTK fans above their own schools, too.

Absolutely, sure the Nashville fan base who support Vandy, hate UT, and follow the NFL hometown team.

I think you're really underestimating the Titans support. I love the vols and am currently a student at UT but the further you go from Knoxville the more people shift from UT fans first to vol fans. There's nothing wrong with that, and people shouldn't take that as an affront to UT or anything, but they also shouldn't underestimate the number of Titan fans.

exactly. In every place except Knoxville and the immediate surrounding areas, the Titans are immensly more popular. These guys don't know WTF theyre talking about. They are either from Knoxville or not even from TN at all.

I would venture a guess that Memphis bball has much bigger support than the titans in W TN. Outside of Nash no one really cares that TN even has a pro fball team.

Chattanooga sports talk show spends about 15 minutes on monday talking about the Titans, and the rest of the time talking NFL as a whole, and the Vols.

Thats it, and I would also say that Chattanooga, and other parts of south Tn, are bigger Falcon fans than they are Titan fans.

I have no idea why there would be a Falcons fan or a Colts fanbase in TN unless they all moved there for work.

As for Falcons fans, there's probably a fanbase because 1), they were the closest NFL team before a decade ago and 2) some didn't change allegiance and Atlanta's still closer than Nashville.


As far as the Colts fanbase, I'm pretty sure it's because of their QB.

Wrong!

Honestly, you need to back out of this thread,because you don't have any idea what you're talking about.

The Titans are popular in Nashville. UT is popular all over the state. UT could offer $1 mil per year for Chow if they wanted. The big boosters have plenty of money.

Let me tell you a little story. When the Titans moved to Tennessee, they made a stop in Memphis. Bud Adams did his best to alienate himself and his franchise from everyone west of the Tennessee River. The vast majority of West Tennesseans could not care less about the Titans.

I live and work in Nashville and I get tired of hearing every sports show talk about the titans constantly. I cant stand them for many reasons . One being it appears to me that most vandy fans are titan fans. This merely gives them a glimmer of hope that they cheer for a team that MIGHT win a game every now and then. #2 no matter how many ints vince young throws he is still talked about being wonderful. #3 I hate when people refer to him as VY . #4 The titans have way too many sh@#bags playing for them. Always getting locked up sometimes beating their girlfriends sometimes DUI arrests, sometimes their thug buddies shooting people you name it . I wish they would lose every game every year , maybe they would pack up and leave. I could go on with more reasons but whats the point im sure someone is already pissed enough by reading this.
