Who's your coach?

Technically, Majors. But in reality, Fulmer. I started caring about the Vols when I was 12 in '88. But I thought he was stale and I was over him by the time he torpedoed the '92 season. I was ecstatic when Fulmer took over and Tennessee took off.

I don't hate Majors like some Fulmer guys. I just think that Majors let the game pass him by. Hell, Fulmer did too at the end.

The only coaches I didn't like were Dooley, Butch, and Cornbread....

My Dad started taking me to Neyland during the Battle era, but I was too young to remember much. I remember the band playing "when Johnny comes marching home again", so the Majors era was my coming-of-age as a Vol fan.

Me too. My first game in Neyland Stadium was with my uncle in 1965. :cool:

My first game was in Birmingham. Uncle (Bama fan) took me, my Aunt was pregnant (little girl).

I was more of a baseball fan back then, didn't really follow football. That changed when I became good friends with a couple diehard Vol fans and I was hooked.

That 1st game is the only time I didn't wear orange to a game.

First in Neyland was the 69 Georgia Tech game. But I spent many a Saturday listening to the " Voice of the Vols". Bill & John made it real.

My Uncle was not very happy that I became a Vol fan, even less so my cousin did. You pick your team, not your family.

Go Vols!
