I attended Michigan Technology University... Tony played for Michigan Tech, and he was a stopper. Tech dominated hockey in the day. RIP.

Hurts. We got to go to Fox Hollow a few times over the years. The last time I was there, he was selling off a lot of stuff in preparation of a downsize after his wife Dixie passed. One of the few things he would not let go of was her windchime collection that was hung all over the back porch.

Fair question.
NE = New England.

Path I took.... MI/TN/TX/MA/MT.

I guess you can say I am a back door Vol Fan... married into a UT family... by my count there were ~16 or so of my wife's family that attended UT. Went to a game in 1980 and that did it for me, I was hooked. Same for NASCAR... attended a race in Bristol, and was hooked (back when they really raced).

Lulz on Nevada/New England, I was putting the V in there with it. Duh. I am a stupid azz.

I didn't attend UTK. At age 10 my 17 year old cousin went to UTK and it was a big deal in the family. Remember her bringing her boyfriend home for Christmas and he was a big football fan. Long story short, I looked up to both of them and they were UT students and the whole family thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.....here I am.

Whew!

Over the years, I’ve guessed New England, Northeast, Nebraska (!), and Any(“NE”)VolFan.

One less little perplexing mystery to ponder.

You can hear their influence in some great bands that admired and adopted their harmonizing style.

Dang. There were a lot of years you could count on him to be holding down a barstool at Brown's Diner in Nashville. I think he just liked being around "regular" people.

Damn. I saw them open for Simon & Garfunkel in 2003.
