But he's also a traitor...
Simpson grew up a Vol
quote:
The redshirt junior quarterback attended some Tennessee games as a youngster — including one in 2010 against UT-Martin (Simpson’s dad, Jason, has been the head coach at UT-Martin since 2006).
“Of course, I grew up watching them (Tennessee),” said Simpson on Tuesday. “”My favorite guy was Peyton Manning. I remember my dad playing them — shoot, I guess it would have been Derek Dooley’s first ever game there — they whooped my dad’s tail 50-0. I actually had two memories. One was I was crying in a little locker room right there, because I didn’t really know at the time with FBS versus FCS, how it worked. So I was like, ’50 to nothing? What the heck? What’s going on?’
“But the second part was Peyton Manning was on the other sideline. In pre-game, I walked over there and I asked him, ‘How does it feel to play against your brother in the NFL?’ And I remember it like it was yesterday. He was like, ‘Man, it’s really hard, but it’s fun’. So that’s one of my favorite memories as a kid, good and bad. But just great to be a part of that.”

You can't take the trash out of a person, but you can take a person out of the trash.

Peyton Manning grew up an Ole Miss fan.

I just have to wonder if a part of Simpson will secretly be a bit relieved when we beat them on Saturday or not.

It’s gonna sting that much more to see a Tennessee boy smoking a cigar in his Bama uniform. He obviously loves Alabama or he would’ve left instead of waiting his turn.

From the story and his latter choice of not attending UTk, it sounds like he grew up a UT-Martin fan and a fan of his dad.

I just have to wonder what your next username on here will be if Alabama beats Tennessee on Saturday, Whiskey.

He spoke the name, Derek Dooley.
Definitely not a fan

He asked Peyton Manning about playing against his brother in the NFL before a Tennessee-Tennessee Martin game?

sounds like assault.
But, I'm guessing Ty holds his own vs you and your trailer park crew.

Sounds like he’s always hated UTk, but did like Peyton. No? Makes sense as a young QB.
