I see more Vandy gear on a daily basis here in middle Tennessee than I see Vols gear.



Excellent troll job but not true. Ratio of seeing Vol gear to Vandy gear is still 99:1 in Nashville. I expected to see at least some gains by Vandy but it didn't happen.

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.
