Trust me. College sports are very very very very very very small here. Most people could only name notre dame.

I am a rare breed.

Your premier league has gained a lot of strength over here, btw. How is Stoke doing? I haven't been able to keep up, myself.

Born and bred.... I wish I could, but they don't want to move.

I met a former vol grad at a wedding last year. I was already a fanatic of NFL, NHL, MLB and NBA but hadn't got into college sports. I had already decided to watch last years college football season and was going to pick a team. (was going to be a longhorns fan, thanks god i didn't)

So anyway, he talked to me about the tradition and his passion for the Vols. so after the wedding I watched the Kentucky game on the sec website from two years ago. I got hooked, and here I am. The vols in less than a year have become such a big part of my life. And I don't know anyone here who has heard of them. It's sad. :(

I even have a give my all sign above my bedroom door which I slap sometimes when leaving my room! I love the Vols. one day, I will come and see a vols football game. I will, or I will die a sad man.

Let us know if you ever make it to Knoxville. Would be awesome to have a foreign exchange UT fan to host.

Cheers guys. I will be coming over later this year to finally see my beloved Packers play. I have been saving for about a year and I can't wait to finally come over to the promised land.

Don't worry though, after that, my mission will be to get to TN, to see the vols. I am sure you will here me shouting with joy from where you are if I ever get the money to do it.
