Tennessee born Bama fans are the worst.

I only know two Tennessee-born Bama fans. And I'm related to both of them:

-- one a cousin, went to Bama, graduated from there. So it actually makes sense to me. I don't like it, but it makes sense.
-- the other, my wife's aunt, married a Bama fan later in life and lives in Bama ever since. This one makes sense, too, because she never followed any sports at all before marrying him, while he's as dyed-in-the-wool crimson as I am orange. He's actually the only Bama fan I know with whom I enjoy jawing about our teams. Good dude.

So yeah, don't know too many, but they both make sense and I doubt either of them are switching colors in their lifetime.

Which I respect.

Go Vols!

We all know one. It's been so tough listening to these losers for the last 15 years, knowing they will jump ship to a new team as soon as Bama starts to slip. It's going to be awful tempting to buy some Tennessee gear with all the excitement around the program. Don't. We don't want or need you.

I have one who I have known since the second grade in Rutherford County, and I saw wear UT sweatshirts his whole life, then suddenly 2008ish or so… bam! Bama stuff..same for a few folks now that I think about it….No sense of loyalty, or state pride…but some people are just that way

Those make sense. It arguably wasn’t very wise to get involved with Alabubba in either respect, but whatever. I get it.

But the people riding around TN with a bunch of ratty old bammer decals on their crapwagons is hilarious to me. They can’t tell you where the u of bammer is located, but they can give you a row tiiii.

I was born in Tennessee and lived there and raised my family there for 33 years, blood solidly that peculiar orange color. Then we moved to Georgia and lived there for 32 years, still never wavering, and never, ever surrendering our Big Orange birthright even during the difficult times. (The 2016 game in Athens was, and is still one of the greatest days in Vol history, made especially sweeter when we were living there). A little over a year ago we finally escaped the Atlanta Metro area and moved to a small town smack dab in nowhere Alabama. Bama fans are everywhere, mixed in with a sprinkling of Dawg fans since we’re not far from the state line. I warned them. I told them the day was coming…and Saturday it did!

Be it fair weather or stormy darkness, for me and mine it always has been, and always will be: Go Big Orange!
