quote:
Even though I grew up an Alabama fan, I will always pull for Tennessee when they are not playing the Tide. Not necessarily in order of importance, here are some reasons -
- Tennessee is a beautiful state
- Passionate college fans that were filling a 100,000 seat stadium long before anyone else in the south was
- The university has one of the great fight songs
- They are home of the music industry for every kind of music from gospel, country, blues, to rock
- Their residents have a tradition of being patriotic
Most importantly, they played a huge part in preventing Al Gore from being president. How many presidential candidates have not carried their home state? Hanging chads aside, this was huge. I couldn't imagine going from a Clinton, to a Gore, to a Obama presidency.
Oh and no thanks to Arkansas.
Hard to argue with all of that.
But something is wrong with all of this.
Also, you failed to list the cons.
- Peyton Manning ... the original SEC crybaby homo.
- Phat Phil Fulmer ... cheatin' lyin' bastard.
- Memphis ... the Detroit of the South.
- Fulmer Trophy ... aptly named.
- They were not fully on board with the rest of the South in the War of Northern Aggression.
Most importantly ... Al Gore calls Tennessee home.
