Nashville is a carbon copy of Knoxville, power T's are everywhere. Only difference is I see some Bama and Auburn gears.


Ok, that is just nuts. I'm from Murfreesboro and just moved to Knoxville. There is NO comparison in UT support in Middle and East Tennessee. There was 25 years ago, but times have changed.

In fairness, it isn't Vandy's rise either. Nashville has become a Titans town. Plus, a huge number of implants moved in who pull for other SEC and B1G schools. There is significant Predator support, and even some for the Grizzlies. Vandy support is up some, as is MTSU's. Ut still has the most college support, but it isn't the cult-like dominance in East Tennessee.

East Tennessee is all things orange, all the time. It is all there is. Congrats to you, I guess, but it is not equivalent.

I agree with this. Nashville area is much more of amelting pot of fans, but still dominated by UT. At least since I moved here in '04
