that's interesting

And I traveled a lot to the tri cities, VA and maryland for work

There were a ton of UVA/VaTech fans in the tri cities

I thought it was weird, but I guess it's the norm

Tri-cities people are culturally different than the rest of E. TN and very weird but hey, they produced Steve Spurrier so they've always been weird and crazy as hell.

One of the reasons we're doing the Battle of Bristol thingy is because those crazy rednecks are split right down the middle and have been begging for over a decade to host a game between UT and Va. Tech.

So you're definitely correct in your assessment of the tri-cities.
