I am a U of M alum as well and love the Tigers and the Vols. My dad went to UTK and raised us on UT football. I always have been a huge UT fan in basketball as well as football. Most of my closest friends went to UTK as well and are dual Memphis/Tennessee fans as well. Nothing wrong with that.
You guys should be happy to have any support in Memphis possible. This city produces tons of talent in basketball and holds its own in football talent production as well. We need to get some of these kids out of Memphis to stay in state and the fact they dont disturbs me. These guys have so many anti-UT influences in their ears all the time it sickens me that someone would encourage a born and raised Tennessean to go to a school in Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, or Alabama for ANY reason.
Yeah, if Memphis's football team was doing better, I'd be happy. However, when it comes down to head-to-head match-ups between Memphis and Tennessee, I always root for the big orange to win! Against anyone else, I root for Memphis to win.
What is wrong with people like that? I have seen tons of UTC fans that also are UTK fans as well on here.
I feel the same way about UK. I just want Kentucky to lose, lose, lose. I hope Tennessee scores 130 on them this year....
